WARNING

Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before removing any of the unit’s covers or making any repairs to prevent the possibility of electrical shock. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in serious personal injury.

No special tools are required for this installation.

Follow these steps to remove the cover:

A) Unplug the sterilizer power cord.

B) Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, pry the cover up from the front edge, then remove it.

C) Locate the printer harness and remove the tape that is securing the wires to the bottom of the printer cavity.

Follow these steps to attach the wires and remove the film:

A) Position the printer upside down with the long hook and loop strip facing you.

B) Take the black/red harness, position the white wire connection tabs downward, and connect it to the left side of the printer.

C) Take the green/white/black harness, position the white wire connection tabs downward, and connect it to the right-hand side of the printer.

D) Peel off the clear film of the long hook and loop strip to expose the sticky side of the hook and loop.

Note: Push connectors into place firmly until they are almost flush with the printer.

Follow these steps to install the printer:

A) To align the printer correctly in the printer cavity, tilt up the front edge of the printer and position the back edge of the printer on the top back edge of the printer cavity.

B) Keep the back edge of the printer in position and remove the clear film from the two small hook and loop sections on the front of the printer.

C) Pivot the front edge of the printer down into position in the printer cavity. Press firmly into place.

Equipment Alert: Position the printer harness into the printer cavity, making sure it is not pinched or kinked by the printer.

To remove the paper:

A) Insert your finger into the groove at the back of the small cover and lift upward until the lid is released from its locked position. To avoid damage, do not use excessive force.

B) The printer lid will hinge up towards the back of the printer.

C) Remove any remaining paper.

To install the paper roll:

A) Unroll 3″ to 4″ (5 to 7.5 cm) of paper.

B) Place the paper roll into the cradle with the unrolled side down.

C) Hold the unrolled edge of paper out the front of the printer and shut the lid by applying equal amounts of pressure on each side of the lid until it latches.

D) Press the paper feed button for additional paper.

Note: A pink stripe that gets progressively darker on the paper indicates when the paper is low.

Equipment Alert: Use only thermal paper rolls with a maximum diameter of 1.89″ (48 mm) and a width of 2.28″ (58 mm).

The following paper refill options are available:

The printer will print the following information for each program cycle:

Initial Cycle Information:

• Model Number & Software Version: Indicates the sterilizer model and its software version.

• Total Cycles: Reflects the total cycle count of the sterilizer.

• Sterilizer ID: The serial number of the sterilizer.

• Operator: A line is printed for the operator’s signature.

• Date & Time: The start date and time of the cycle.

• BEGIN selected CYCLE: Indicates the beginning of the cycle selected by the operator.

• Cycle Settings: A summary of the selected cycle’s temperature, time, and dry time settings.

During the Cycle:

• FILLING CHAMBER: Printed once the cycle starts to show the sterilizer is filling with water.

• HEATING: Printed when the Heating Phase begins. The printer then records chamber temperature, pressure, and elapsed time in 2-minute increments until this phase is complete.

• STERILIZING: Printed when the Sterilization Phase begins. The printer records chamber temperature, pressure, and elapsed time in 1-minute increments until this phase is complete. A summary of the minimum and maximum temperature and pressure during this phase is also printed.

• VENTING CHAMBER: Printed when the sterilization phase is complete to show that steam pressure is being exhausted.

• DRYING: Printed when the drying phase begins. The words “DRYING START” are printed, and the printer records temperature, pressure, and elapsed time in 5-minute increments. The printer continues to print in 5-minute increments until the phase is complete, at which point “DRYING COMPLETE” is printed. If a programmed dry time is not divisible by 5 (e.g., 12 minutes), the final record will reflect the actual time in 1-minute increments (e.g., 5, 10, and 12 minutes).

After the Cycle:

• Cycle Summary: A summary of the duration for each phase (FILLING, HEATING, STERILIZING, VENTING, DRYING) and the Total Cycle Time.

• CYCLE COMPLETE: Printed after the summary to indicate the cycle has finished successfully.

NOTE: If the drying cycle is aborted, “DRYING COMPLETE” and “CYCLE COMPLETE” will not be printed.
