1 Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of the NeuraJet17 Well Log Printer. NeuraJet17 has
been jointly developed by Neuralog and Canon, Inc. to print high-quality well log
documents. This continuous printer uses the latest generation of ink jet printing
technology to produce crisp prints of well logs or other continuous documents.
1.1 A Printing Solution
Your NeuraJet17 is more than just a printer; it is a complete well log printing solution,
printing logs up to 17 inches wide and 500 feet in length. This solution includes the
continuous feed print engine, the continuous form feed attachment, an integrated paper
stacker, certified printing consumables such as ink cartridges and paper, and a custom
print driver developed specifically for printing well logs. NeuraView software completes
this system to give you everything you need to print well logs in industry standard
formats. Use the NeuraView application that ships with your printer, or you may use
your own Windows printing software to send well log prints to NeuraJet17.

receives both power and control signals from the print engine and sends the printer
information about the position of the paper. It contains the following major components.

Power Box – Box attached to side of device that converts the power signals sent
from the printer to those needed by the CFA.

While the printer may be capable of longer prints, Neuralog has tested and certified documents from 4 to
500 feet. Printing ability and performance is usually limited by electronic file size, rather than physical
length.
