5 PRINTER
5.1 Printer Operation
The autoclave can be equipped with a character printer, which
prints a detailed history of each cycle performed by the instrument
(for the record or for subsequent consideration).
The printing is made on thermal paper with 24 characters per line
and prints the following information each time a cycle is run.
♦ Software version
♦ Date and time
♦ Selected program (with the parameters for that program)
♦ Sterilization time
♦ Sterilization temperature
♦ Sterilization pressure
♦ Success or failure of the performed cycle.
♦ Load number (1 – 99999) for identification
♦ Autoclave identifier
♦ Space for the operator’s signature
When the sterilization cycle begins the printer starts printing the
above data.
After the preliminary printing, the autoclave starts performing the
sequence of operations of the cycle. The measured values of
temperature and pressure are printed at fixed time intervals,
according to the phase of the process
The data is printed from the bottom up, beginning with the software
version number and ending with space for the operator’s signature
(see the example below)..
