Chapter 5 Printing 

5.1 *Function Description 

The built-in thermal recorder applied in the monitor supports both the American and international 

standard wide recorder paper. It prints continuous traces synchronously along with marks. 

The monitor supports some other functions listed below: 

Auto start printing: If the function is enabled, the recorder starts printing automatically 

when new monitoring starts (the START key is pressed). Otherwise you have to press the 

PRINT key to start printing. 

Printing timer: The printing timer determines the elapsed time for each print. This time is 

adjustable. Refer to 5.2.3 Changing the Print Timer. 

Remaining time indicating: If the printing timer is set, a process indicator 

appears in the status window after printing starts, with the remaining time shown in it. When 

the time is up, the monitor gives three “Do” tones and flashes the indicator. 

Fast printing: The recorder prints the data saved in the monitor at a high speed (up to 

15mm/s

). 

Data Caching: When the paper drawer runs out of paper or when it is open, the recorder 

stops printing. The data from this time on (at most 60 minutes) will be temporarily saved in 

the internal memory. When new paper is loaded and/or the drawer is closed, the saved data 

will be printed out at a high speed. When the saved trace has been printed out, the recorder 

switches back to continue printing the current data at the normal speed automatically. 

NOTE:

1  When the monitor is switched off, the data in the internal memory will be lost. 

2  If a printing timer is set, and the time is out when the paper runs out, the CTG 

analysis result may disaccord with the printout. Therefore, reload the paper in 

time to avoid paper lack. 

FHR2 offset: You can set the offset of the FHR2 trace to separate the two FH traces on the 

screen and the recorder paper. Refer to 7.4.4 Changing FHR2 Offset. 

Print self-check: The recorder prints a baseline for self checking when the monitor is 

switched on. 

Paper advance: When printing stops, press the paper advancing key 

  to advance the 

paper, making sure the paper has a perforation outside the drawer and is easy to be torn off. 

NOTE:

The paper advancing key is invalid in the process of printing and paper advancing.
