When the sterilization cycle begins the printer starts printing the above
data.
After the preliminary printing, the autoclave starts performing the
sequence of operations of the cycle. The measured values of
temperature and pressure are printed at fixed time intervals, according
to the phase of the process, as shown in the table on the next page.
The data is printed from the bottom up, beginning with the date and
ending with "Cycle Ended". For an aborted cycle, "Cycle Failed" and
the Error message are printed (refer to "Displayed Error
Messages/Symbols").
