Additional Operating Instructions
Using a Form Printer
While printing results using a form printer, each set of results is stored in
memory until you insert a form into the printer. When the analyzer detects a
form, the next set of results is
sent to the printer.
Check each form immediately after it is printed to ensure that
all results are
printed and are clearly readable. If
the printed form has
a problem, immediately
reprint the last report.
NOTE:
If you are using the
Clinitek
®
Form Printer, use
Reprint
on the Form
Printer. Do not select
Reprint last result
on the analyzer display.

Removing a Jammed Test Strip
Refer to
Section 6,
Troubleshooting
for more information on this procedure.
Thermal Printing
Thermal print from the internal printer fades with time, especially when
exposed to light. The print also fades if
covered with transparent tape or when
exposed to extremes
in temperature or humidity
.
Managing the Printer Paper
The analyzer detects when the internal printer is out of paper and retains the
results until the printer paper roll is replaced. The last meter of paper on the roll
has a pink edge. Change the roll when
the pink edge displays. Refer to
Changing the Paper

Emptying the Waste Bin

fill. This prevents problems with strips

y leave the read stati
on.
