Solutions

• If the IR transmitter and receiver are not aligned, all the data may
not print. The infrared ports on the top of the analyzer and on the
front of the printer (below the MODE button) should be pointed
directly at each other. The maximum distance for reliable
transmission between the ports is 18 inches (45 cm).
• If the analyzer displays PRINTING RESULTS, but the test results
are not printing, press MENU to cancel. Turn off the printer and
charge the printer battery for at least 15 minutes before
attempting to print again. To realign, press MENU to cancel the
print job. Verify alignment between the analyzer and printer; then
try to print the test results again.
• Make sure the printer is on. The printer shuts off after 2 minutes
of inactivity to conserve the battery. To turn the printer on, briefly
press the MODE button. The green STATUS light should turn on.
Make sure you are using the Midtronics printer provided with the
analyzer. Other printers may not be compatible.
• Direct sunlight interferes with infrared data transmission/
receiving. If the printer is not receiving data, remove the printer
and analyzer from direct sunlight. If the printed characters are
not clear or are partially missing, recharge the battery and
reprint.
