4. Visually inspect MTUs:
♦ Check that the barcodes on the MTUs are present, properly aligned, and are not
damaged.
♦ Check that the distributor foot (handle) on each MTU is intact and undamaged. The
distributor foot is opposite the barcode handle.
♦ Check that all MTU tiplets are in place. Do not replace dropped tiplets into MTUs.
♦ Check for any extra MTU tiplets inside the MTU tubes. Remove any defective MTUs
or MTUs with extra tiplets.
♦ Ensure that there is a gap between the last MTU and the end of the drawer. Do not
overload the MTU Drawer.
