3.2. Using an AC adapter
It is possible to operate this printer
through the Microlife AC adapter
(output 6V DC / 600mA with DIN plug). Make
certain that you use an AC adapter which
fulfills the legal requirements.
(CE sign on the type plate).
a) Plug the DIN plug into the socket at the
left back of the instrument.
b) Plug the AC adapter into a 110V power
socket. Test that power is available by
sliding the 0/I (on/off) switch.
Note:
•No power is taken from the batteries while the AC adapter is connected to the
instrument.
•If the power is interrupted during the measurement (e.g. by removal of the AC
adapter from the socket), the instrument must be reset by removing the DIN plug
from its socket.
•Please consult Microlife if you have questions relating to the AC adapter.
3.3. Cable connection

•Simultaneously, the green LED will become bright.
4.2. Paper feeding
Before you start the printing operation, check if
the paper is installed properly in the right position.
If it is not, click the paper feed button to get access
to proper location.
Note:
•Click once to get 1 line space.

4.6. Cutting paper
Once you finish the printing job, check the paper to
see if it is easy to tear off.
•If it is not long enough to tear off, please depress
the "Paper Feeding” button to lengthen the paper.
Note:
•Don’t pull out the paper if you’d like to cut it.
•Try to lower down the paper, pulling it forward over
the paper cutter.
•The paper has to be vertical (90 degree) with the
paper cutter; otherwise, the paper will be difficult
to tear off.
•The print on the paper does not last forever. It fades over time. This is normal for
thermal printers such as the Microlife diagnostic printer. The readability lasts
longer the less the print is in contact to light. If you file the printed paper in a
folder, the print lasts very long. In case you would like to store the values forever,
we recommend to photocopy them or transfer the data to another media.
