Installation
All printing processes are controlled by the Pima Analyser.
Connect the Pima Printer by inserting the USB plug of the printer
cable into one of the two USB ports located at the back of the Pima
Analyser. Start the Pima Analyser and the Analyser will automatically
detect the Pima Printer.
If the Pima Analyser does not automatically recognise the Pima
Printer, disconnect the printer from the USB port and reconnect
it with the Analyser. Should the Analyser still not recognize the
Pima Printer shut down the Pima Analyser and restart with the
Pima Printer attached.
The status light on the right side of the FEED key indicates
functionality of the Pima Printer. The light may be ashing or
constantly illuminated. When the printer is disconnected from the
Pima Analyser, the status light will cease to be illuminated after a
short while.
• Green light: the printer is fully functional and ready to print
(when connected to the Pima Analyser)
• Orange light: the printer battery is low (recharge the Pima
Printer via the Pima Analyser)
• Red light: the printer is not ready to print (in general this occurs
when the printer is out of paper; if the condition persists despite
replacement of printer paper, please contact your local distributor).
