Any results that are out of the reporting range (specifi ed in Section 2) are shown on the display
with dashes instead of actual numerical values. On the printout, out of range readings are
indicated as greater than or less than the maximum or minimum value. Also the message “Out
of Operating Range” prints. Calculated values based on out of range readings print as “No
Report.” If the electro-optical verifi cations fail, an error message is displayed.
Any errors that might occur are both displayed and printed on the results printout. Refer to
Section 6 – Troubleshooting for causes of errors and corrective actions.
Test results are printed when the electronic QC checks have been successful. This is indicated
on the results printout as “Electronic QC: Passed.”
A sample results printout is shown in Figure 19. A sample results readout is shown in Figure
20.
You can print additional copies of the results report by pressing the “Star” button after the
fi rst printout completes. You must reprint the report BEFORE opening the door.
