The built-in printer provides easy-to-read information on each sterilization cycle. The cycle report is essential in analyzing the 3M™Steri-Vac™ Sterilizer/Aerators GS Series performance and
can be retained to meet cycle verificationpolicies.
To load printer paper, install the roll in the feed mechanism (Figure 56). Once the paper is fed into the mechanism, the printer will automatically advance the paper through the printer rollers.
Manually place the paper through the slot in the accessdoor. To avoid damage to the print head, only use the paper intended for thisprinter.
