The Otowave 102 can send test results to a designated printer or a
suitably-equipped computer via an infra-red link.
If the computer does not have an infra-red port a suitable infra-red adapter
will be required. The Actysis ACT-IR2000U USB adapter is specified for
and has been tested for use with the Otowave 102. This adapter may be
purchased from Amplivox (see Section 15) and only this device should be
used for this purpose.
The Otowave sends data through a small window on the right of the probe.
For a printer the data is received through a window in the front of the
printer; for a computer the data is received through a window located either
on the case or on the plug-in adapter if this is used.
The environment in which the Otowave is used can affect the data transfer
process. The following are recommendations but may need to be modified
depending on the environment.
The two communication windows should be in line and pointing directly
at each other, 10-20cm apart
Both units must be out of direct sunlight for optimum communication
For transferring data to a printer ensure that no computer or printer
other than the one to be used is within range
Similarly, for transferring data to a computer ensure that no other IrDA
device is within range
The infra-red link must not be broken once a connection between the
printer/computer and the Otowave has been established
If the printer/computer or Otowave are moved, or an object between
them breaks the link, the data may become corrupted or the Otowave
may not respond to the controls until the data transfer process has
timed-out (this could take 30 to 40 seconds); this may also occur if the
printer batteries are discharged while attempting to print
Once the data transfer process has timed-out the resulting error message
can be cleared and the data re-sent; if the data is still corrupted select
Cancel on the Otowave and then send the data again.
8. Transferring the Results
8.1. Sending the results to a printer
Three designated thermal printers (the Able AP1300, the Martel MCP8830
or the Sanibel MPT-II) are available as options and only these printers
