Printer Paper
Paper may be ordered along with other supplies for the VetScan i-STAT 1 System or
paper with the following specifications can be used:
•
Black print thermal paper
•
2.25” (5.7 cm) wide by 80’ (25 m) long
•
Paper grade: TF50KS-E2C
The Status light will flash to indicate that the paper has run out. To replace the paper,
open the paper cup lid by squeezing the lid as shown in the illustration and remove any
remaining paper by pressing the Paper Feed button.
Do not pull paper through the
printer mechanism.
Reel off a few centimeters from a new roll of paper and check that
the end has a clean straight edge. Slide the leading edge of the paper through the
paper entry slot, with the leading edge of the paper feeding forward from the bottom
of the roll, until you feel resistance. Press the paper feed button and feed the paper
through the printer mechanism. Keep the paper feed button depressed until enough
paper is fed through the printer mechanism to pass through the paper exit slot. Sit the
new paper roll in the paper cup and close the lid.
Should the paper become creased or out of line when feeding a new roll, cut the end
off the paper roll, feed out the creased paper using the Paper Feed button, and reload
ensuring the paper has a clear straight edge.
Before use, open the paper cup lid and ensure that the paper roll is present. Close the
lid, ensuring that the paper passes through the paper exit slot. Turn the printer on. The
Power indicator will light and the printer mechanism will reset.

Printer Power
The printer is turned on using the switch on its left side. When the printer is on, the
Power LED will be green. The plug for the AC adaptor is also on the left side.
The power LED may flicker when connected to the power supply and the switch is in
the OFF position. This flicker indicates that the printer is fast charging. Fast charging
occurs only when the printer is turned off. Trickle charging occurs when these printers
are plugged in and turned on, but not in use. Printer will charge to full capacity in 9
hours, if charged from a 12V supply with the power switch off.
The battery needs to be recharged when the Status LED lights continuously during
printing. If the battery becomes exhausted, printing will become faint, erratic, or not
possible at all. Should this happen, turn the printer off and allow to recharge for 1 hour
before attempting printing again.
