7 . Output Analysis Results
If automatic output has been set, the analysis results will be sent to the Graphic Printer,
Data Printer, and/or Host Computer.
If automatic output has not been set, the operator must select the data and destination for
the output. See Chapter 4: Result Interpretation/Reports.
8 . Perform Post-Analysis Procedures
Residual blood and reagent can cause detector aperture to clog and protein to build up in
aspiration lines. If the instrument is not to be used for a while, press the [Auto Rinse]
key in the root menu to execute an auto rinse and a background check.
NOTE: If the [Auto Rinse] key is not displayed on the LCD, press [More] key
to change the root menu display.
If no further capillary specimens require processing, return the system to Manual mode
as follows:
(1) Press the Next No. keypad in the top line of the LCD. The Sample No. Setting
screen will appear.
(2) Press the [Manual Mode] key to select Manual mode, and press the [Enter] key.
