Do you have a question about the Euroklav 29 VS+ and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Hello, During last sterilization cycle, we ran out of paper in the printer and only half of the record was printed. We have since refilled the paper and are trying to figure out how to print the previous cycle's record. We have attempted to resolve this with the manual however have not been successful. If you could please provide guidance on this, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
To print the previous sterilization cycle's record on the MELAG Euroklav 29 VS+ after running out of paper, reconnect the log printer (MELAprint 42) to the sterilizer, ensure it is properly initialized, and reprint the log. Initialization involves turning on the sterilizer and waiting for the display to show the basic settings. Once the printer is connected and initialized, logs from previous cycles can be printed.
