Equipment overview: System components
PRN 50/PRN 50-M digital writer
The PRN 50/PRN 50-M digital writer thermally records patient data on a 
paper strip. Any parameter or trace that can be monitored on a monitor 
can be graphed by the writer. Graphs initiate automatically when an 
alarm is activated, or they can be initiated manually from the monitor.
NOTE
The PRN 50-M digital writer is an M-Port device. To make an 
AutoPort device (such as PRN 50) M-Port compatible, use the 
AutoPort to M-Port adapter, pn 2001973-001.
Laser printer
An optional laser printer can be connected directly to the monitor via one 
of the M-Ports. The laser printer must have a serial port, and an 
interface adapter is required for the cable between the laser printer and 
the monitor. Refer to the instructions provided in Laser Printer Support 
Kit, pn 2013421-001, for details on the interface adapter and installing a 
serial card in a laser printer.
WARNINGS
SHOCK HAZARD. Laser printers are UL 60950/EN 
60950 certified equipment, which may not meet the 
leakage current requirements of patient care equipment. 
This equipment must not be located in the patient 
vicinity unless the medical system standard EN 
60601-1-1 is followed.
Do not connect a laser printer to a multiple portable 
socket outlet (MPSO) supplying patient care equipment. 
The use of an MPSO for a system will result in an 
enclosure leakage current equal to the sum of all the 
individual earth leakage currents of the system if there is 
an interruption of the MPSO protective earth conductor.
