The printer will automatically switch off after 10 minutes of inactivity. To
reactivate simply press the power on button. The printer will also switch off
automatically during printing if the battery voltage drops too low, if this happens fit
a new set of batteries.
POSITIONING THE PRINTER AND INSTRUMENT

unit ) and the Printer Receiver (on the bottom of the printer below the keypad).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SELF TEST AND BATTERY CONDITION REFERENCE
If you are not certain that the printer is operating correctly, run the self-test as
follows:-
Turn the printer off, hold down the paper feed button whilst switching the instrument
back on, the unit will now perform a self-test. If the printer fails the initial self-test,
then turn the printer off and run the self-test for a second time. If the printer fails
again (after checking that there is sufficient battery power) it requires service.
The battery condition reference is a number from 0 to 5 that gives an indication of
how much usable battery life is remaining (5 being the highest figure). Regardless of
the battery condition reference, new batteries should be installed when any of the
following symptoms are present:-
The print contrast remains too low, even when the control is set to highest
contrast.
Print speed slows due to the print head moving too slowly across the paper.
Printing stops before all information on a line has been completed.
The battery condition reference (shown at the end of the self-test) is 1 or 0.
INTRODUCTION
The KMIRP printer allows a user to obtain a hard copy of information held on their
Kane Analyser by utilizing the Infra Red communication facility on the instrument.
For further details please refer to the instrument operating instructions.
SET UP
The printer is powered by 4 AA size alkaline batteries which will provide around
6000 print lines before replacement is required. These should be fitted into the
battery compartment on the rear of the printer, taking note of the individual battery
orientation.
The KMIRP utilizes thermal paper and care should be taken when fitting new paper
rolls to ensure that the ‘shiny’ side of the paper faces the print head. The paper
should be placed into the slot within the paper roll holder whilst holding the paper
feed button until the paper feeds through to the front of the printer. Ensure that the
paper has an even edge and is not folded before attempting to load into the printer.
Note:
Do not try and pull the paper through manually as this could damage the print
head, use the paper feed button. If the paper does jam then very carefully ease the
edge of the paper back into the paper roll holder and try reloading as detailed above.
