Additional Operating Instructions

Using a Form Printer

While printing results using a form printer, each set of results is stored in
memory until you insert a form into the printer. When the analyzer detects a
form, the next set of results is sent to the printer.
Check each form immediately after it is printed to ensure that all results are
printed and are clearly readable. If the printed form has a problem, immediately
reprint the last report.

Removing a Jammed Test Strip

Refer to Section 6, Troubleshooting for more information on this procedure.

Thermal Printing

Thermal print from the internal printer fades with time, especially when
exposed to light. The print also fades if covered with transparent tape or when
exposed to extremes in temperature or humidity.

Managing the Printer Paper

The analyzer detects when the internal printer is out of paper and retains the
results until the printer paper roll is replaced. The last meter of paper on the roll
has a pink edge. Change the roll when the pink edge displays. Refer to
Changing the Paper‚ page 45.

Emptying the Waste Bin

Empty the waste bin as it starts to fill. This prevents problems with strips
jamming as they leave the read station.
