Printer Installation
Unpack the Printer (if supplied) and locate it as required in the
vicinity of the SAM12. Configure the printer as detailed in the
manufacturers hand book.
ENSURE the printer is set to the relevant mains setting.
The printer should be used with the USB interface, simply by
connecting to the SAM with the USB cable supplied.
Notes on Orientation and Positioning
The large area detectors of the SAM12 make it very sensitive to
changes in background. Therefore, it is recommended that the
installation site be chosen for background stability and to
minimise the effect of statistical fluctuations.
It is recommended that the SAM12 be installed away from
active areas to suit both these needs.
If the background field at the installation site is directional it is
recommended that the SAM12 be installed so that the back of
the Cabinet faces the field source. This orientation should
minimise the penetration and scatter of background radiation
around the door aperture, although the advantage is small.
After Installation of 2-door SAM12s, ensure both doors are
closed before switch-on.
