Operating Notes
• When printing with a Form Printer: Each set of results
is stored in memory until a form is inserted into the
Form Printer. When a form is detected as being in place,
the next set of results is sent to the printer. Check each
form immediately after it is printed to ensure that all
results have been printed and are clearly readable. If
there is a problem with the printed form, immediately
reprint the last report as follows:
•
NOTE: If using the CLINITEK
"Reprint" key on the Form Printer, rather than touching
the Reprint last result key on the instrument display.

b. Insert a new form into the Form Printer. (A form
must NOT be inserted before touching Reprint last
result or the last set of results will be lost.)
•
c. When the report has been printed correctly, touch
the selection key again to remove the
set of results will be printed when a form is inserted.
• If a strip should become jammed under the readhead
to the extent that movement of the strips is prevented,
touch
to stop the run and return to the Ready/Run
screen. Record the information provided on the Results
Error Report to determine the specimen(s) that must
be retested. Then turn the instrument off and remove
the fixed platform (see Section 5, "Daily Cleaning,"
Step 4). Remove the jammed strip, reinstall the plat-
form, and turn the instrument on. Retest the speci-
men(s) for which there were no results.
• Calibration confirmation: A report of the most recent
successful calibration can be printed if desired. Touch
Menu from the Ready/Run screen, then touch Print
and select Calibration confirmation. The date and time
of the latest successful calibration will be printed.
• Thermal print (from the internal printer) will fade with
time, especially when exposed to light. The print will
also fade if covered with transparent tape or when
exposed to extremes in temperature or humidity.
• The instrument does not detect when the internal
printer is out of paper and therefore will continue print-
ing results even if there is no paper. However, the last
several feet of paper on the roll contain a pink edge;
the roll should be changed when this appears. Any
records for which you do not have printed results can
be reprinted by recalling the last batch of records, then
printing the appropriate records.
• Empty the waste bin as it starts to fill to prevent
problems with strips jamming as they leave the read
station.
