Printer Setup And Troubleshooting - Midtronics Micro400XL Instruction Manual

GB
UNSTABLE BATTERY: A battery that is very weak or that has just been
charged may retain enough electrical activity, which the analyzer has
detected, to adversely affect the test results. A fully-charged battery
should stabilize quickly, after which the analyzer will automatically
retest. Weak batteries should be charged and retested.
NON 12-VOLT BATTERY DETECTED: You are attempting to test out-
of-vehicle a non-12-volt battery or batteries connected in series.
24-VOLT SYSTEM DETECTED: You are attempting to test in-vehicle
both batteries in a 24-volt system. Disconnect the batteries and test
them individually. The analyzer will bypass the battery test and the
display will toggle between the warning and PRESS ↵ ↵ ↵ ↵ ↵ FOR STARTER
TEST.

PRINTER SETUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING

IMPORTANT: When you start a new test (outside of
QC Mode) by connecting to the battery, the last test results in
memory will be lost.
The MicroXL analyzer also has the ability to print the last test results (or
the entire data set in QC Mode) by sending data from the analyzer's top-
mounted IR transmitter to the printer's IR receiver. To print, turn on the
printer and align the IR transmitter with the receiver. Select 1. PRINT
RESULTS from the options Menu.
The analyzer will send data continuously when you select the print
option. If data does not print, or is garbled or missing, see below.
Make sure:
• The printer is on.
• The printer's battery is fully charged and properly inserted.
(The IRDA printer's CHARGER light will flash if the battery needs
recharging.)
• You are using the recommended printer and that you have selected
the correct printer from the options Menu.
• The IR transmitter and receiver are properly aligned.
• Neither the anlyzer or printer are in direct sunlight, which may
interfer with data transmittal.
• To perform a self-test of the printer, hold down the FORM FEED button
while turning the printer on. The printer will print all available charac-
ters.
After correcting the problem, select 1. PRINT RESULTS to begin
printing.
