Important
• Disconnect the instrument's mains before con-
necting the peripheral device. Else, the two de-
vices may not interchange any data.
• In identifying patient samples, maximum integrity
of data is required.
To avoid barcode identification mistakes, use a
check digit whenever the sample barcode is used.
If a check digit is not used, the chances of the bar-
code being misread increase.
Note
The barcode reader is not included as a standard
accessory. Refer to the barcode reader manual
for detailed information on the connection of the
barcode reader.
