Magnetic Card Reader (PS/2)
A magnetic card reader is available as an option for the PageWriter TC70. The reader connects
to the cardiograph through an external PS/2 connector and provides ISO and standard encoded
magnetic strip support. Manual removal and insertion is required.
NOTE The PS/2 port is not a plug-and-play port. You must attach the magnetic card reader to the port
before powering on the cardiograph.
Barcode Reader (PS/2)
A barcode reader is available as an option for the PageWriter TC70. The reader connects to the
cardiograph through an external PS/2 connector and provides standard barcode scanning
capability. It emulates a keyboard, allowing scanned codes to be presented to the PageWriter
TC70 cardiograph as if they had been typed on the standard keyboard, powered by a PS/2
connection. The barcode reader can be configured using special barcodes.
NOTE The PS/2 port is not a plug-and-play port. You must attach the barcode reader to the port before
powering on the cardiograph.
Smart Card Reader
A Smart Card Reader is available as an option for the PageWriter TC70. The reader connects
to the cardiograph through an external USB connector and provides standard Smart Card
reading capability. The PageWriter TC70 cardiograph can use the Smart Card Reader to
obtain patient information.
USB Memory Stick
A USB memory stick is available as an option for the PageWriter TC70. The memory stick
connects to the cardiograph through the USB connector located on the right side of the
cardiograph (with the front of the cardiograph facing you). The USB memory stick can be
used to store and transfer ECGs and orders between the cardiograph and a TraceMaster or
TraceMasterVue ECG Management System.
CAUTION Do not insert a USB memory stick into the cardiograph, or remove a USB memory stick from the
cardiograph when the cardiograph is acquiring ECG data from a patient.
CAUTION Only use the USB memory stick to transfer data between the cardiograph and a computer. Do not use
the USB memory stick with other devices.
NOTE Some USB memory sticks contain unsupported software, such as SanDisk U3, and are not recognized
by the cardiograph. Uninstall any unsupported software from the USB memory stick before using it.
