(F) Printer Configuration Instructions
Introduction
This document instructs you how to configure a printer for use with Stratus OCT™. These
instructions provide requirements and recommendations for the printer, but are generic
with respect to brand.
Note: Carl Zeiss Meditec supplies and/or identifies specific printers that have been
approved for use with the instrument. An approved printer may come with detailed
configuration instructions, and users are advised to closely follow the instructions
supplied with the approved printer.
These instructions cover two configurations for communicati
on between instrument and
printer:
1. Network Configuration (page 3), either via direct connection between
instrument and printer, or via connection of instrument and printer to a local area
ne
twork
2. USB Configuration (page 3), via direct USB connection between instrument and
printer
Printer Safety Warnings
WARNING: Except when powering the printer through the Stratus OCT
isolation transformer in the USB configuration, peripheral devices such as
printers must be placed at least 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) away from the patient,
such that the patient cannot touch a peripheral device with any part of his or
her body while being examined. In addition, the instrument operator must
not attempt to touch the patient and a peripheral device at the same time
while examining the patient. Failure to observe this warning could result in
electrical shock to the patient and/or examiner.
WARNING: When using the printer in the USB configuration, you must power
the printer through the Stratus OCT isolation transformer. Failure to observe
this warning could result in electrical shock to the patient and/or examiner. To
do so, you must use a special power cable. The required cable has an
IEC-320-14 connector on one end and a IEC-320-13 connector on the other
end. When the printer is purchased through Carl Zeiss Meditec, this cable is
included with the printer.
WARNING: To directly connect a printer to the Stratus OCT using a network
patch cord (UTP cable), only use an unshielded RJ-45 connector. Use of a
shielded network patch cord will ground the printer through the Stratus OCT,
which could result in electrical shock to the patient and/or examiner. It could
also invalidate the system safety approval.
