Chapter 6 - Remote Options
USB Overview
The GSI 61 remote option allows for interfacing the audiometer to an external USB
printer (either color or monochrome) for the purpose of printing audiogram records.
Additionally, the GSI 61 can be connected to a remote computer for managing
patient records. Connection to the remote computer is via a USB connection.

Compatibility
Printer Interface Language Compatibility
In general, for a printer to be compatible, it must support the print language PCL3. If
a printer does not support PCL3, it is known to be incompatible. Support of PCL3
print language may not guarantee that a printer is fully compatible. Even for a
compatible printer, advanced print features may not be available.
Compatible Print Languages
PCL3 is the native print language of the GSI 61. A number of PCL print languages
are considered to be supersets of PCL3 and should be compatible if implemented
strictly to the specification. Rarely, a printer manufacturer may deviate slightly from
the PCL specification and incompatibility can occur. Any time a new printer is to be
specified, verify compatibility carefully. Superset languages include: PCL3+, PCL4,
PCL5, PCL5e, PCL5c, and PCL6 Standard.
Incompatible Print Languages
PCL3 GUI, PCL6 Enhanced, PCL XL, all PostScript, PictBridge, and GDI languages.
Data/Control Interface Hardware Compatibility
The remote board is USB 2.0 Slow/Full speed compatible. Since USB 2.0 is a superset
of USB 1.x, it is also compatible with those computers using USB 1.x.
Operating System Compatibility
The remote option is possible with the following operating systems:
Windows XP Pro
Windows Vista Business
Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit)
6-3
1761-0100 Rev. B
