5-10-1-1 Printers
5-10-1-1-1 Black & White Digital Printer
The B&W Digital Printer receives image data and the print command via the USB port which is
controlled by the keys Print or Alt+Print on the Vivid i n or Vivid q N operator panel.
5-10-1-1-2 Color Digital Printer
The Color Digital Printer receives image data and the print command via the USB port which is
controlled by the keys Print or Alt + Print on the Vivid i n or Vivid q N operator panel.
5-10-1-1-3 Color Inkjet Printer
The Color Inkjet Printer is used to print out reports and exams and is controlled in one of two ways,
depending on the system configuration:
• Directly via the USB port
• Via LAN connection
The printing operation to the Color Inkjet Printer is performed by pressing the Alt+P keys. Normally,
inkjet printers are used to print out Reports but in some cases, also ultrasound images.
5-10-1-2 DVD/CD Reader and CD Writer (DVD/CDR-W)
The DVD/CDR-W is used to back-up images and reports, in a similar way as using the MOD. In addition,
the DVD/CDR-W is used as the main source of software upgrades and other service utility operations.
Capable of reading all types of CDs including DVD, the DVD/CDR-W is controlled by the BEP via the
USB port.
5-10-1-3 Magneto-Optical Drive (MOD)
The MOD is used to back-up images and Reports. The Back up process enables storage of the images
and Reports for future review on Vivid i n or Vivid q N ultrasound units, or other
EchoPac-compatible devices. The MOD is controlled by the CPU via a USB port supported by a
USB-to-SCSI converter. Only 2.3 GB media are officially DICOM compatible. Magneto-Optical media
of any other size (up to 9.2 GB) may be used for back-up, but will not be compatible with DICOM (even
though they will be supported by a variety of GE DICOM reviewing stations such as, EchoPac).
