W&H Lexa Printer Management Guide
We’ve recently talked about the W&H Lexa sterilizer, and now we’re going to add onto this press with the printer management guide. This article has all the steps to properly set up and operate the W&H Lexa sterilizer printer function the way the manufacturer intended.

Automatic Printing Option
The automatic printing option permits to automatically print a preset number of labels after a successful sterilization cycle. The labels are printed only after the user has identified him/herself (with password if required) and the load has been checked and released, if these options have been enabled by the administrator.
For the automatic label printing, a maximum storage time in weeks can be set. This value is used to calculate the expiry date to be printed on the labels (see “Label content description”).
Set the Automatic Label Printing
Set the Manual Label Printing
The manual printing option permits the user at the beginning of a sterilization cycle to set manually the number of labels to print.
Disable the Label Printing
If the label printing is disabled, no label can be printed at the end of a sterilization cycle.
