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 synchronously monitoring traces:
FHR1/FHR2/TOCO/AFM/HR/ SpO
2
traces; trace marks: FHR1/FHR2/HR/ SpO2; monitoring
information: patient's ID, patient's name, date, time, speed（i.e. printing speed）, FHR2 offset,
HR, SpO
2
, TEMP; SYS/DIA/MAP/PR; event marks: AUTO-zero symbol, MFM mark, event
mark, fetal stimulation mark, alarm indicator, SOV indicator, US1 and US2 signal loss alarm
indicator.
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/DFHR 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.
