Strip Recorder
There are three types of recording from the strip recorder: timed, continuous, and
trend recording.
Timed Recording
Timed recordings print trace data starting ten seconds before and ten seconds after the
print request (the number of seconds can be changed by the system administrator).
When more than one recording requests have been queued, a Now button appears in
the upper right corner of the screen. If you want the most recent timed recording to
print immediately, press Now. Note that this action cancels the recording currently
printing.
Continuous Recording
Continuous recordings print until you stop them. During a timed recording a Cont
button appears in the upper left corner of the screen. Press Cont to initiate a continu-
ous recording. Press the Strip/Laser button to stop a continuous recording.
Note: If you experience a delay in requesting a continuous strip, verify that there
is an interruption in the printed data.
Note: If leads are changed on the bedside device while continuous recording is in
process, then the current recording will stop. You must initiate the record-
ing again.
Trend Recording
Trend recordings print trend graphs and are covered in the Trends section. See “Print-
ing Trend Data” on page 162 for details.
Laser Printer
The PatientNet System supports laser printers that meet the following requirements:
• the printer is a Hewlett Packard laser printer
• the printer supports Printer Control Language PCL 5 and higher
• the printer has at least 2 MB of memory
Note: We only validate laser printers that are provided by us.
The laser printer should be set to 300 dpi, so grid measurement corresponds to its
actual screen size.
Laser printers print waveform data and other reports on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper. Infor-
mation on specific reports is contained in relevant sections of this manual.
