PREPARING A SITE FOR TESTBOOK
(If you have a TestBook trolley, go on to the next
section).
If you are not using a TestBook Trolley, then you
need to meet the following requirements in siting the
TestBook for use :
The surface must be firm, flat and reasonably level -
(this is particularly important for satisfactory
operation of the CD disc drive), and any risks of
TestBook falling or being knocked over should
obviously be avoided.
The TestBook mains power supply transformer unit
also needs to...

Next,carefully lower the TestBook onto the trolley
platform so it fits securely within the locating rim and
so that the name TestBook shows right way up at
the front of the trolley. Find the two Torx screws and
two plastic wire clips from the small parts bag then
plug the AC mains feed cable into the socket on the
side of the trolley (but do not plug the other end into
a power socket yet). Lead the cable down the the
side of the trolley, securing it it with the cable clips
which should be...

Load paper into the printer. The paper feeder on
your TestBook printer is designed to handle a stack
of dry paper no more than 5mm high. If too much
paper is put in, or if the paper is damp, the feeder
may jam.
Paper should therefore be stored in a warm, dry
place, such as an office, rather than in the
workshop.
Any paper left in the feeder tray at the end of a
working shift should be removed and put back into
store until needed again. If left out overnight it will
absorb moisture from the...
