Printing Priorities
The following list defines printing priorities from the highest to lowest:
• Alarm recording or a manual recording request through a monitor
• RECORD ALL request through a bedside monitor
• RECORD ALL request through a central monitor
• Non-waveform recordings (for example, trends)
• All Arrhythmia/ST classes
In all network printing cases:
• High priority print jobs bump lower priority jobs. For instance, an alarm
recording will bump graphic trends to a lower position in the print queue.
• A high priority request erases as many lower priority requests as needed to
make room for the data it contains. For example, a fully loaded printer will
bump graphic trends out of the queue.
Note:
Recordings in the process of being printed cannot be interrupted or delayed by
additional print requests.
A status message does not show when a print request replacement occurs.
Recording Buffer and Printer Transitions
The printer modules have limited ability to store the waveform data for additional
printouts while actively printing. When the current printout ends and the next
queued printout begins, the printer outputs the stored waveform data, followed by
current waveform data.
A printer transition indicator shows on the printer strip between the end of the
stored waveform data and the beginning of the current waveform to mark a section
of missing waveform data. The width of the indicator is constant. It does not
indicate the amount of missing data, just that there is data missing. The printer
transition indicator is indicated on the printer strip by a downward line, followed by
a bottom flatline, then a rapid return to the waveform.
