• If the print head is up, you will see the message PLEASE PUSH LEVER NEXT TO THE
PRINTER. To correct this, push the black lever to the left of the thermal printer.
To change the paper:
1. Remove the printer door by pushing the small black knob on the printer door to the right.
2. Remove the paper roller.
3. Place the new paper roll on the roller and insert it into the paper slot. Refer to the drawing on
the inside of the printer door.
4. Pull the black lever to the left of the printer to raise the print head.
5. Thread the paper through the printer.
6. Push the black lever to the left of the printer to lower the print head again.
7. Press FEED and PRINT to test the operation.
8. Replace the printer door.
To change the print density:
The print density controls the darkness of the printout. There are five degrees of darkness with 0
being the lightest and 5 being the darkest. (It is not adjustable on the FP40-D analyzer.)
Select the PRINT DENSITY in the General Setup Menu.
To save printouts:
Although the paper we use with the FP40 is a good quality thermal paper, any thermal printing can
eventually fade over time. To minimize fading, store away from the light in a cool, dry place. Do
not store the strips in plastic or put cellophane tape on them, and avoid fingerprints.
If you want to be absolutely certain that you will have the data for many years, use a regular copier
to duplicate the printed results.
