When you press "Start Cycle", the printer will
print the number of cycles that have been run since
the unit was turned on, the current date and time,
the notation "Cycle Started" and column headers.
During the cycle, the printer will print the elapsed
time, the current chamber temperature and the
current chamber pressure at one minute intervals,
along with a status notation.
When the sterilizer chamber achieves the
temperature set by the cycle parameters, the
printer will immediately print a record line,
regardless of the time since the last record was
printed. The status notation will change from
"Heatup" to "Exp", indicating that the load is being
exposed to the temperature set forth in the cycle
parameters. The printer will continue to print record
lines at one minute increments, starting one minute
after the record line printed at the start of the
exposure phase but still showing the total elapsed
time for the cycle.
When the sterilizer has achieved the time
condition set in the cycle parameters, the printer
will print "Vent" in the cycle status column,
indicating that the sterilizer is venting.
At the end of the vent phase, the printer will print
"Venting Cycle Completed" and instructions for
starting the drying cycle. There is no printout during
the drying cycle.

In addition to being heat-sensitive, the paper tape
is also light sensitive and will darken if left exposed
to light for an extended length of time. To ensure
the long-term legibility of your records, it is
important that you keep your printed tapes in a
dry, cool, dark place.
