DESCRIPTION
The FTIR900 Printer allows the user to obtain a hard copy of the information stored the FT900 and
FT900N Analyzers by utilizing the Infrared Communication Facility on the instrument.
For further information please refer to bulletin FT-9000 or FTP-9001.
SET-UP
The printer is powered by 4 AA size alkaline batteries which will provide approximately 6000 print
lines before replacement is required. These should be fitted into the battery compartment on the rear
of the printer, please note the individual battery orientation.
The FTIR900 Printer uses thermal paper and care should be taken when fitting new paper, the shiny
side of the paper must face the print head. The paper should be placed into the slot within the paper
holder while holding down the feed button until the paper feed to the front of the printer. Make sure
that the paper has an even edge and is not folded before attempting to load the printer.
Note: Do not try and pull the paper through manually as this could cause damage to the print head.
Use the paper feed button. If the paper does jam, carefully ease the edge of the paper back into the
paper roll holder and reload as described above.
