Why won't my Reichert Technologies Medical Equipment printer print?

  Laura StarkAug 1, 2025
  There are several reasons why your printer might not be printing. It could be that the printer is not turned on or is in sleep mode. Another possibility is that the communication menu is set to IR COM; if so, change it in Setup mode. Also, check if the printer is out of paper and replace it if necessary. The PT100 battery might be too low, so recharge it. Finally, the printer batteries could be dead, so replace them.
