while the autoclave performs a sterilization program.

To set the paper roll in the printer, perform the following steps:
5.2.1 Gently push the clips for removing the front panel, remove the panel
and pull out the printer gently.
5.2.2 Set the paper roll on the shaft (See Figure 1). Since the outer and
inner surfaces of the paper are different, set the roll so that the
printing surface is the outer.
5.2.3 Gently push the paper face down into insertion opening (A) in Figure
2. Keep pressing the feed switch (B) until the paper comes out from
the print head (C).
5.2.4 When the paper emerges from the print head, insert it in the paper
cutter (the slot in the front panel) and reassemble the front panel on
the unit.
The paper roll is set inside the unit and the printer is ready for use.
NOTE: If the paper is not pulled in by the rollers, even when you press the
feed switch (B), push the paper in.
5.2.5 To ensure a reliable operation of the printer, perform the following:
5.2.5.1
Turn the main switch to the OFF position.
5.2.5.2 Press the feed switch and at the same time turn the main
switch to the ON position. Verify that the printer
performs an operation test by printing all the built-in
characters.
The following precautions have to be taken to ensure the proper operation
of the printer:

Avoid contact between the paper and the hot parts of the autoclave,
as the paper will be blackened.

Do not pull out the paper roll from the paper insertion opening.

Use only the 58mm. wide thermal paper rolls, supplied by your
dealer. Larger rolls will not fit inside the printer.
