Data Will Not Print
•
If the IR transmitter and receiver are not aligned, all the
data may not print. The infrared ports on the top of the
analyzer and on the printer below the
MODE
button
should be pointed directly at each other. The maximum
distance for reliable transmission between the ports is
17 in (45 cm).
To realign, press the
END
button to cancel the print job.
Verify alignment between the analyzer and printer; then
try to print the test results again.
•
Make sure the printer is on. The printer shuts off after 2
minutes of inactivity to conserve the batteries. To turn
the printer on, briefly press the
MODE
button. The
green
STATUS
light should turn on. Make sure you are
using the Midtronics printer. Other printers may not be
compatible.
