Starting Report Printouts
Most patient reports can be printed by selecting Main Setup then Reports (or the Print Reports
SmartKey) and then selecting the report name in the top half of the
Reports menu. Report names are
shown only for reports that have been correctly set up.
Data from the time of the print request is printed, even if the print job is delayed in the printer queue.
Your monitor can also be set up to automatically print all reports when a matching printer is available.
To set this up
1 Select Main Setup then select Reports
2 Select Auto Print Dbs.
–
Always will print all reports when a matching printer is available.
–
Host Only will print the reports stored on the host monitor when a matching printer is
available. Reports stored in the companion database (shown in gray on the
Reports Job List)
must be manually sent to the printer. See “Checking Report Status and Printing Manually” on
page 330.
–
Never will print no reports automatically; all reports stored in the host or companion database
must be manually sent to the printer. See “Checking Report Status and Printing Manually” on
page 330.
Printout Location
Depending on availability, reports can be printed on locally connected printers, printers connected to
the Information Center or the Application server, an external PC-based print server with Philips server
software or into the print database.
Print jobs stored in the database are automatically printed when a print device with a matching paper
size becomes available.
Print jobs in the print database are not deleted after a patient discharge. A new patient can be
admitted and their reports are saved in addition to the previous reports. Always admit your patient so
that reports can be clearly assigned to a patient.
When an X2 or MP5 is connected to a host monitor, reports requested or stored on the X2 or MP5
can be printed via the host monitor. Reports requested on the X2 or MP5 when connected to a host
monitor will not show any patient alarms or INOPs. In order to see alarms, reports should be
requested on the host monitor.
