7. Using the Recorder
The optional 3885-B Base Station recorder provides hard copies of up to two waveforms and
trend information.
NOTE
• The 3880 MRI Patient monitor does not have an internal recorder. Printing can only be
done if the system is communicating with the optional 3885-B Base Station. The Base
station unit houses and drives the strip chart recorder in response to Record or Print
requests from the 3880 Monitor or 3885-T Remote Tablet hard (Record) and soft (Print)
keys.
