3.1 Connecting the printer
To connect the Alere DDS2 Mobile Analyser to the printer use the RJ12 connector cable provided. Attach
this cable to the base of the printer and to the RJ12 printer connector on the top of the analyser, behind the
rubber flap. Refer to section 2.1 Alere DDS2 Mobile Analyser at a glance for the location of connections.
Switch the printer on by pressing the power button on the top of the printer. The green status light on the
printer will then come on. To turn the printer off, press the power button again so that the status light goes off.
3.2 Loading paper
The printer is supplied with one roll of paper already loaded. To load a new roll of paper into the printer, open
the paper cup lid and remove the spool and any remaining paper. Reel off a few centimetres from the new
roll of paper and hold approximately 5cm of paper outside of the printer. Place the new roll into the paper
reservoir with the paper feeding forwards from the bottom of the roll and the leading edge over the tear bar.
Close the lid by applying equal amounts of pressure on each side of the paper cup lid until the lid is in the
locked position.
Please contact your distributor or Product Support to order replacement printer paper rolls.
3.3 Charging the printer
The printer will only charge when it is offline and connected to the Alere DDS2 Mobile Analyser via the RJ12
printer cable and when the analyser is powered by the mains. This is indicated by the printer’s green LED
status light flashing every 1-2 seconds.
The printer will not charge if it is online, indicated by the printer status light remaining on; or if the analyser is
not connected to the mains.
The printer will take approximately 2-3 hours to charge.
See section 2.5 Mains Power, for more information on how to connect the analyser to the mains.
