Power
The printer is turned on using the switch on its left side. When the printer is
on, the Power LED will be green. The plug for the AC adaptor is also on the
left side.
For printer serial numbers below 240223657, the rechargeable battery is trickle
charged when the printer is turned on or off and connected to an AC outlet.
Before putting these serial number printers into use, the printer should be
turned off and the battery charged for 16 hours.
For printer serial numbers above 240223657, the power LED may flicker when
connected to the power supply and the switch is in the OFF position. This flicker
indicates that the printer is fast charging. Fast charging occurs only when the
printer is turned off. Trickle charging occurs when these printers are plugged
in and turned on, but not in use. Printers above serial number 240223657
indicating low battery will charge to full capacity in 9 hours, if charged from a
12V supply with the power switch off.
The battery needs to be recharged for all printer serial numbers when the Status
LED lights continuously during printing. If the battery becomes exhausted,
printing will become faint, erratic, or not possible at all. Should this happen,
turn the printer off and allow to recharge for 1 hour before attempting printing
again
Adapter and power cord
One roll of paper
Paper
Paper may be ordered along with other supplies for the i-STAT System or paper
with the following specifications can be used:
Black print thermal paper
2.25” (5.7 cm) wide by 80’ (25 m) long
Paper grade: TF50KS-E2C
The Status light will flash to indicate that the paper has run out.
To replace the paper, open the paper cup lid by squeezing the lid as shown in
the illustration and remove any remaining paper by pressing the Paper Feed
button. Do not pull paper through the printer mechanism. Reel off a few
centimeters from a new roll of paper and check that the end has clean straight
edge. Slide the leading edge of the paper through the paper entry slot, with the
leading edge of the paper feeding forwards from the bottom of the roll, until
you feel resistance. Press the paper feed button and feed the paper through the
printer mechanism. Keep the paper feed button depressed until enough paper
is fed through the printer mechanism to pass through the paper exit slot. Sit
the new paper roll in the paper cup and close the lid.
Should the paper become creased or out of line when feeding a new roll, cut the
end off the paper roll, feed out the creased paper using the Paper Feed button,
and reload ensuring the paper has a clear straight edge.
Before use, open the paper cup lid and ensure that the paper roll is present.
Close the lid, ensuring that the paper passes through the paper exit slot. Turn
the printer on. The Power indicator will light and the printer mechanism will
reset.
