Basics of operation
● To avoid a paper jam, do not put partially cut, torn, or bent paper into the printer.
● To avoid discoloration of the printing paper (especially in the recording area), use a
polypropylene container for storage, not a PVC container.
● You can avoid discoloration of the printing paper (especially in the recording area) by using a
water-soluble adhesive without solvents after gluing.
ATTENTION ● Since the printer paper is sensitive to heat, it is not suitable for a long recording period. If it is
necessary to keep records for a longer period of time, we recommend making separate
copies.
● Uneven cutting can cause a paper jam. Cut the paper straight.
This device is equipped with a built-in printer and can print out measured values.

4th MAINTENANCE
Dust is one of the main sources of error in this instrument. Make sure you have the window ( 17) cover
with the cover and cover the device with a dust cover when not in use.
When the viewing window ( 11) is contaminated, the monitor screen is difficult to see. In addition,
correct measurements cannot be made. You should see the measurement window ( 11) therefore
clean regularly.
To avoid scratching the glass, first use a blower to remove the dust. Then clean the glass very
carefully with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol. Make absolutely sure that you do not touch
the measuring nozzle or use too much alcohol.
Note: This unit uses light; if the viewing window ( 11) is oily, you will not get correct measurement data. You
should see the viewing window ( 11) therefore make sure to clean it completely.
After about a year of operation, the window glass in the measuring nozzle is contaminated, the
fixation target is difficult to see, and correct measurements are no longer possible.
RM-8000B auto refractometer
If the glass is scratched, you will not get correct readings. You should therefore carefully clean the
glass with a cotton swab moistened with a cleaning solution or alcohol. Don't use too much alcohol.
If a cotton swab is soaked in alcohol and still inserted into the nozzle, it can cause problems.
Measure the supplied test eye and check its accuracy regularly.
Use a blower to remove the dust. Fingerprints and grease marks on the
