5. PRINTER (Optional)
The printer is an optional device. If the autoclave is not equipped with a
printer, paragraph 5 is not applicable.
5.1 Printer Operation
The autoclave is equipped with a character printer that prints a detailed
history of each cycle performed by the instrument (for the record or for
subsequent consideration).
The printing is made on thermal paper with 24 characters per line and
contains the following information:
Software version.
Date and time of cycle start.
Selected program and parameters.
Sterilization pressure.
Sterilization temperature.
Sterilization time.
Cycle identification.
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 below.
The data is printed from the bottom up, beginning with the program
name and ending with “O.K.” for a complete cycle, or “FAILfor an
aborted cycle.
For an example of a typical printout, see next page.
