PRINTER FAULT messages
These PRINTER FAULT messages can appear in an equipment alert window.

Learning the Propaq Encore
Using in-service mode
You can practice using the Propaq Encore without a patient simulator by using the
Propaq's in-service mode of operation. The in-service mode cannot be activated while you
are monitoring a patient. The message “SIMULATING” alternates with the time of day
and patient mode on the display.
To begin practicing with your Propaq, disconnect all patient cables connected to the
monitor. Leave the cuff connected so you can take NIBP measurements. If you have been
monitoring a patient, turn off the Propaq Encore and turn it back on. From the Main Menu,
press SETUP, WAVE SEL, INSERV.
The Propaq Encore has two sets of simulated patient information—an initial set and an
alternate set. To change between them, press the INSERV button again.
If you connect a patient cable or set the NIBP channel to automatically take pressure
measurements, the Propaq Encore stops simulating, goes through its powerup tests, and
erases any simulated trend data it might have stored.
