Removing the Paper Roll
Before removing the paper roll, advance the paper about 1 in. (2.5 cm) by press-
ing down and holding the PAPER FEED button. Lift the paper roll away from the
printer housing, and with a scissors, cut the paper roll feeding to the printer. Try
to make the cut as straight as possible to facilitate the next reloading of the pa-
per. Now, pull the remaining paper through the printer mechanism.
Power Up Message
When the printer successfully initializes after the sterilizer is powered up, it
prints the word READY to assure the operator that its built in microprocessor is working prop-
erly and the sterilization cycles will be recorded by the printer.
Printer Tape Description
The printer will print the following information for each program cycle:
Cycle Number
Identification: a line is printed so the sterilizer I.D. can be recorded
on the printer tape.
Operator: a line is printed so the operator’s signature can be recorded
on the printer tape.
Date: lines are printed for the month, day, year, hour, and minute so the
date and time can be recorded by the operator on the printer tape.
“BEGIN selected
CYCLE”: to indicate the beginning of the cycle selected
by the operator.
Summary of selected cycle set points.
Once the cycle starts, the printer will print the words “FILLING CHAMBER”
to show that the sterilizer chamber is filling with water.
Once the sterilizer begins the Heating Phase of the sterilization cycle the word
“HEATING” is printed and the printer will print the chamber temperature,
pressure, and elapsed time in 30 sec. increments until the Heating
Phase is completed.
When the sterilizer enters the Sterilization Phase the word “STERILIZING” is
printed and the printer will print the chamber temperature, pressure, and
elapsed time in 30 sec. increments until the Sterilization Phase is completed.
When the sterilizer has completed the Sterilization Phase of the program cycle,
the printer will print the words “VENTING CHAMBER” to show that the steam
pressure is being exhausted from the chamber.
EQUIPMENT ALERT
Be sure to pull the paper out of the top of the printer. Pulling the paper
out of the back of the printer will damage the printer mechanism.
