The Topcon A/R KR 8900 uses thermal printer paper and does not require ink replacement. Instead, ensure that the correct 58mm wide thermal paper roll is used (e.g., TF50KS-E2C). When the red line appears on the paper or “PAPER END” is displayed, replace the paper roll following the instructions in the "PRINTER PAPER SETTING" section.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Auto Refractometer RM-8900, Auto Kerato-Refractometer KR-8900. This instrument is used to measure the spherical refractive-power,cylindrical refractive power, the direction of astigmatic axis, the radius of curvature, the direction of principal meridian and the cor- neal refractory power.
(4) Do not store the instrument where chemicals are stored or gas is generated. 3.USAGE PERIOD 8 years from delivery providing regular maintenance is performed (according to the self-cer- tification [Topcon data]) ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR PACKING IN TRANSPORTATION Temperature: -40°C~70°C...

Questions and answers
Hi My Topcon A/R KR 8900 does not print any longer. Is there a way to replace the ink?
The Topcon A/R KR 8900 uses thermal printer paper and does not require ink replacement. Instead, ensure that the correct 58mm wide thermal paper roll is used (e.g., TF50KS-E2C). When the red line appears on the paper or “PAPER END” is displayed, replace the paper roll following the instructions in the "PRINTER PAPER SETTING" section.
