Printing Images
You can print any image file from the Terason system. If you print an image loop, the
Terason software only prints the currently displayed frame. To print an entire image loop,
you must use the DICOM option. See
Printing Files to a DICOM Printer
instructions.

subsequent sections):

menu to select a default printer and default print
settings, such as page size and orientation.
Printing the Displayed Image
When viewing an image in the Image Display or Review windows, you can click
to
print the image or images. When you click the Print button, the Terason software
immediately sends selected images to your system’s default printer. You cannot set up any
custom options, such as number of copies or paper size.
You must freeze live images before you can print them.
If you used
Options

Tools
menu to change the Toolbar Print handling to
Send to
DICOM Printer
