Introduction
The printer mechanism incorporated into the FM800E is a thermal printing system for use
with continuous fan-fold thermal paper. It is virtually silent, rendering it unobtrusive in
operation.

Paper options
The printing system is optimised for use with plain Sonicaid thermal print paper, although
alternative paper trays are available as accessories to facilitate the use of Philips or
GE/Corometrics paper. Note that the printout options available with alternative paper
types may be restricted due to difference in size compared to the Sonicaid paper.
Standard thermal print paper fades over a period of time – typically a few years. If it is
necessary to guarantee a longer storage time for paper traces, the use of Architrace
paper is recommended. This has a 25 year rated lifetime. Alternatively, consider the use
of Central Monitoring Software, such as Sonicaid Centrale, Fetalcare or Obstetric Archive,
which allow traces to be stored and archived electronically.

at a temperature of 18-25°C, and with a relative humidity of 40-60%.

•
Carbon and carbonless forms
