4.1.10  Compatible printers and network printing 

 
For the documentation of the measuring results a self-adhesive label or a measurement report 
can be printed. 
 
To print self-adhesive labels the driver software of  two printers is pre-installed on the device. 
These  printers  are  “plug-and-play”  compatible,  i.e.  as  soon  as  one  of  these  printers  is 
connected to the device, the device recognizes the printer automatically and after a restart the 
printer can be used. No software needs to be installed. 
 
 

Note

: 

Other  printers  are  not  compatible  and  it  is  not  possible  to  install  their  driver 
software.  The  attempt  to  install  printer  drivers  terminates  both  the  license  as 
medical measuring device as well as the guarantee. 

 
 
 

DYMO LabelWriter 450 and 450 TURBO 
 

To  create  a  printout  with  the  DYMO  LabelWriter  450  /  450  TURBO,  you  must  connect  the 
power supply unit to the DYMO printer and connect the printer to the device with a USB cable. 
Use DYMO labels of the size 54 x 70 mm (2 

⅛ x 2 ¾ in).  

 
 
 

plusoptiX P12

 

 
The plusoptiX P12 is battery-powered and has an infrared interface. Hold the device pointed 
towards the infrared receiver of the plusoptiX P12 at a distance of approximately 1 m.  
 
 
 

Note

: 

Sending  print  orders  to  the  plusoptiX  P12  over  the  infrared  interface  only  works 
for 

devices 

from 

supplement 

“01D” 

in 

the 

serial 

number 

(e.g.: 

S/N 120xA-

01D

-xxxx xxxx). 

 

 

 

Note

: 

Use only original paper available from Plusoptix or a Plusoptix authorised dealer.
