Paper supply

To streamline each testing session, it is a good idea to check the amount of paper left inside the printer

compartment. Extra rolls of paper should be kept nearby.

NOTE:

The number of tests per roll of paper will vary with the version Auto Tymp being used and the

type of tests being performed. See

Printer Description

in the

Specifications

section of this guide for

approximations. Replacement paper can be purchased from a local GSI Distributor or from the factory.
