Printing results
Ensure the colony counter is off. Plug the printer

followed by RESET to set the display to zero. You
can now count another dish.
To print the results of multiple dishes, count each
dish in turn pressing the <save> key after each
count. The results can be printed by pressing the
<print> key whenever the three dashes appear
on the screen. The printed results will include all
the dishes counted up to that point.
When the count and print is complete, press and
hold the <correct/reset> key until the display
returns to zero. This will clear the memory of
saved counts.
