Testing/Installing a Printer
1. Turn on the MARS 6 instrument.
2. Once the instrument has completed the startup, turn on the printer and plug the USB cable from the printer into a
USB port on the MARS 6.
3. Select “Settings,” then “Printing.”
4. The screen which will appear will be divided into two sections: “Current Printer” and “Found Printers.” All potential
print drivers for the connected printer will be displayed under “Found Printers.” Select one of the drivers.
Note:
For “All-In-One” printers, several drivers with the same name may be shown. Test each one to determine which
driver is for the printer. Faxes and scanners are not supported by the MARS 6.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to select a printer driver and install it.
6. Once the install is completed, immediately select “Print Test Page.” Note: This step is critical since the driver
selected may not operate properly with the instrument.
7. Once the test page has printed, select “Yes” or “No” as to whether the page printed properly.
8. If the test page did not print or printed improperly, answer “No” and select a different driver.
9. If the test page printed properly, answer “Yes.” On the following screen, select “Yes” or “No” to make the printer
the current printer for the instrument.
The MARS 6 will complete the printer installation and display the new printer as the current printer on the screen
accessed in steps 3 and 4 above.
