the slots on each side of the case. Push the PIX-28 back and down

ventilation.
Make a Test Print
1. Make sure that there is power to the PIX-28.
2. Insert a piece of paper or time card into the PIX-28. The clock will
automatically print YEAR, MONTH, DATE and TIME with AM or PM.
3. If the imprint is satisfactory, the PIX-28 is ready for use.
4. If you wish to change the time and/or print style on the PIX-28, enter
into Program Mode. The next page gives instructions on
programming the PIX-28 to fit your needs.
Ink Capacity Gauge
The LCD Display contains an Ink Capacity gauge. This gauge indicates
the amount of ink remaining in the ribbon cartridge using four bar
segments, from E (Empty) to F (Full).
The PIX-28 calculates the ink capacity of the ribbon cartridge from the
number of imprints made. As the ink capacity decreases, the bars in the
gauge will disappear. If the ribbon reaches below 25% capacity, the “E”,
“F” and “INK” characters will blink until the ink counter is reset.
