Miscellaneous: Direct Fax Transmission of Printer Documents
Direct Fax Transmission of Printer Documents
Instead of sending documents to the printer, they can be directly routed
to another PC or to a fax machine. A modem with a serial port is required
for this purpose. The modems recommended by GE Healthcare include
the FAX software.
When installing the fax software from the original media, you can
configure the fax port as the standard printer. With this setting, every
print command is sent to the fax program. Enter frequently used fax
numbers in the Telephone Directory. Select the high printer resolution
and the landscape format. If the same image is transferred more than
twice between two PCs, you must select the portrait orientation after the
second transfer.
Sending a Fax
1. Display the screen to print.
2. Select the fax as the printer (e.g. fax printer CAPTURE FAX BVZP).
The program converts the ECG to an image file. Depending on computer
power, this may take a few minutes. The status indicator shows the page
being converted. The fax software is activated automatically after the
conversion.
3. Select the addressee (from the telephone directory).
4. Select Send. The status window and the audible signal from the
modem indicate the transfer.
Note
All modems connected to the system must meet the requirements of
IEC 60950 or UL1950. Furthermore, the regulations valid in the
respective countries must be observed. The modem must be set up
within the medical location, but not in the patient vicinity.
Warning
Patient Hazard — Disconnect the patient from the
system when the modem is connected.
