SENDING RESULTS TO A PRINTER
The 302 can be upgraded with an option to allow connection via the supplied cable to the designated portable
Sanibel
MPT-II thermal printer for printing test results. Upon receipt of the printer it must be initially charged
for a minimum of 15 hours prior to use.
Please note
that thermal paper printouts can fade with exposure to light or heat. Consider transferring
the data to a computer for permanent storage.
To print the results of the last test select
SEND TO PRINTER
from the
PROCESS RESULTS
menu on
completion of the test. The printing process has to be confirmed by pressing
SELECT
again. The Otowave will
then attempt to connect to the printer.
To stop the print operation (for example if a printer is not connected) press
◄
to select Cancel.
The print out consists of the three characters printed in the
NAME
field followed by the Otowave graphical
displays, the analysis and the results. There is space for additional details to be handwritten by the clinician
(patient’s full name/age, operator & comments). Also, the name of the hospital, the department, and the
calibration dates for the instrument may also be printed if required (refer to chapter 4.5.3).
After successful printing the
PROCESS RESULTS
menu is displayed.
Please note:
When printing one test result, the print out will contain the last selected baseline mode.
When printing several test results, the print out will contain the stored baseline mode.

from the main
menu and scrolling through the results using the

key as long as the test results have not already been saved
or deleted (e.g. by starting and then aborting a new test).
