SECTION 3: OSCOR MANUAL OPERATION
REI OSC-5000E 56
2. Load a roll of paper onto the paper tray, observing the direction of the roll.
3. Lay the paper and bail in the power cord tray with a few inches of paper off the
roll.
4. Insert the paper into the slot just below the metal plate at the back of the printer.
5. Press and hold the FEED button until paper is seen at the cutting surface.
6. Place the paper and bail in the paper tray, and press FEED again to ensure
alignment and to take up any remaining slack.
7. Tear off the excess paper, and replace the printer cover.
NOTE: Each press of the FEED button advances the paper one line, whereas pressing
SHIFT followed by FEED reverses the paper one line.
WARNING: Do not attempt to plot without paper loaded. The paper prevents the
printer head from overheating. Do not try to load paper using the PLOT button instead of
the FEED button. This could result in a paper jam or damaged printer. The head must be
in the parked position to provide a gap for the paper.
NOTE
: Thermal paper should be stored in a dark room, at an average temperature less
than 25 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity less than 65%. Under these conditions,
new paper remains usable and printouts in a logbook remain legible for at least 5 years.
For optimum print quality and thermal head life, use SEIKO part No. TP201-211-25C
(57.5 mm X 25 M) thermal paper or contact REI.
Miscellaneous Functions
SHIFT Functions
The SHIFT button provides access to a variety of functions that are seldom required, but
sometimes useful. These functions have been added at the request of various users
throughout the history of the OSCOR. These functions are listed in table in the quick
reference guide at the back of the manual.
Freeze Screen
There are many cases when you may wish to freeze the OSCOR display. In most of the
normal operation modes (sweep, oscilloscope analysis, etc.), this may be performed by
one of the following methods.
To freeze the OSCOR Display:
1. Press the SHIFT button.
2. Press the F3 button.
3. To un-freeze, press any key.
NOTE: if the OSCOR is in the sweep mode, the unit continues to scan, but only the
display is frozen temporarily.
