Operating the System
A supervisor (that is, a Level 1 operator) can designate the required primary

reporting units for printing data. Based on this
setting, the system displays the appropriate primary, and optional secondary

1c
reporting units. See Designating the Primary and Secondary HbA1c
Reporting Units‚ page 153.
NOTE: You can print, enter, or edit the sample data while the results are
displayed.
