Figure 5. Paper loading
Position the leading edge of the paper roll into the paper slot. Press the paper advance
button until a section of paper is long enough to pass through the printer cover.
Paper storage
The instrument is supplied with a thermal printer. This type of printer requires a heat-
sensitive paper to create an image. For maximum paper life, any spare rolls of paper
should be stored as follows:
a. Store in the dark (i.e., in a drawer or cabinet)
b. Do not store above 77° F (25° C)
c. Store at less than 65% relative humidity
The above recommendations are for the maximum paper life (greater than five years).
Storing thermal paper at high temperatures or high humidity levels will shorten the total
paper life. The paper will show some darkening if stored for 24 hours at 113° F (45° C) and
a relative humidity of greater than 90%. Avoid leaving paper in a hot car or other hot area
overnight. Always avoid storing unused paper or printed tests in a lighted area.
