Printing
Printing options
Depending on the system configuration, the following printing capabilities are
available:
●
Printing to a recorder connected directly to one of the M-ports.
●
Printing to a built-in recorder (B450 and B650).
●
Printing to a remote recorder connected to another networked bedside monitor
(except a B650 or a B450) or a central station in the CARESCAPE Network.
●
Printing to a bedside printer connected via the IX network interface. In this case the
IX Network interface cannot be used for other network purposes.
●
Printing to a network printer connected to an iCentral in the S/5 Network.
●
Printing to a network printer connected to the IX Network.
You can print realtime waveforms (generated by a manual request or by an arrhythmia
or non-arrhythmia alarm) and numeric trends to a recorder or a printer. In addition,
you can print different types of reports to a printer.
Laser printers
WARNING
— EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE CURRENT — Laser printers are UL
60950/IEC 60950 certified equipment, which may not meet the
leakage current requirements of patient care equipment. This
equipment must not be located in the patient environment
unless the medical system standard IEC 60601-1-1 is followed.
Do not connect a laser printer to a multiple socket outlet
supplying patient care equipment. The use of multiple socket
outlet for a system will result in an enclosure leakage current
equal to the sum of all the individual earth leakage currents
of the system if there is an interruption of the multiple socket
outlet protective earth conductor. Consult your local service
representative before installing a laser printer.
WARNING
— EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE CURRENT — A secondary display or
printer that is a non-medical grade device and is used within
the patient environment, must always be powered from
an additional transformer providing at least basic isolation
(isolating or separating transformer). Using without an
isolating transformer could result in unacceptable enclosure
leakage currents.
