Communications Option (Com1)
The Communications option allows the Respironics V200 Ventilator to:
• Print out the ventilator's screen contents.
• Communicate with a Philips/Agilent/HP VueLink module.
• Connect another device, such as a chart recorder, via the analog
output port.
Using the Communications option does not affect ventilation or monitoring.
The Communications option button (a printer icon) is displayed in the lower
right corner of the screen (Figure 13-23). The printer icon is gray if the
Communications option is not installed, not available, or a print is in progress.

Print Screen
The Communications-Print option allows the ventilator to print out the screen
contents to an attached printer. The printer must be connected to the
ventilator’s parallel port and use PCL3 or PCL5 printer language.
Connecting to a Printer
Figure 13-24 shows how to connect a ventilator to a printer. Use a standard
25-pin parallel printer cable to connect the ventilator to the printer.
