•
Auto ECG reports
•
Spirometry reports (CP 200 spirometry option only)
•
Device settings
•
Audit trails (CP 200 only)
•
Help pages
Rhythm ECGs always print to the internal printer.

WARNING All signal input and output (I/O) connectors are intended for 
connection of only devices complying with IEC 60601-1, or other IEC standards 
(for example, IEC 60950), as appropriate to the device. Connecting additional 
devices to the electrocardiograph might increase chassis or patient leakage 
currents. To maintain operator and patient safety, consider the requirements of 
IEC 60601-1-1. Measure the leakage currents to confirm that no electric shock 
hazard exists. In the case of a USB printer, the printer (non-medical electrical 
equipment) shall be situated outside the patient environment (reference IEC 
60601-1-1). The printer used should be approved to the appropriate safety 
standard for non-medical electrical equipment (IEC 60950, or its national variants), 
and use of an isolation transformer is recommended. If there is a requirement for 
the printer to be situated within the patient environment it is the responsibility of 
the user to ensure that the system provides a level of safety in compliance with 
IEC 60601-1 and 60601-1-1.
