the position shown in figure 4 and gently lower the probe between
decks to avoid damage.
5. Install new drip catcher sponge (see figure 4). Make sure that the
new installation is lined up so that it does not obstruct the head
motion.
6. Install two wiper sponges as probe wipers (see figure 4).
7. A small port for draining the insert test well and any liquid spills in
the deck area is located under the left center of the instrument. A
shallow sponge or tray, such as one of the 4C3035 cassette storage
trays, may be placed under the drain port to catch any vented liquid.
8. Remove the fluid ship cap (solid) from the heat transfer fluid port
(see figure 4). Install the vented fluid plug provided with the instru-
ment.
NOTE Save and store the solid fluid ship cap. If the instrument is
returned for any reason, the vented fluid fill plug must be
removed and the solid fluid ship cap reinstalled as part of
the preparations for shipment.
Step 4 — Load printer paper
A roll of thermal printer paper and a paper roll holder are supplied with
the instrument. These must be installed in the printer as follows:
1. Unroll 6-8” (25-30 cm) of paper from the paper roll.
2. Fold one corner of the end of the paper to form a 4-6” (15-25 cm),
blunt-tipped, tapered point. Crease the fold so that the doubled part
will not be thicker than two thicknesses of paper.
3. Open the printer door (see figure 2) by pulling the top of the door
forward and down.
4. Feed the folded tip of the paper from the top of the roll (as shown in
figure 5) into the slot at the back of the printer.
