Test Tag Printer
After performing an autosequence or checklist (test procedure created in your
CMMS) with the “Print Test Tag” prompt enabled, the medTester will
prompt you to choose whether or not to print a test label. Attaching a Test
Tag label to a piece of equipment makes it easy to identify when that piece of
equipment was tested, who conducted the test and if desired, when the
equipment is due for its next test.
This section describes the setup and operation for printing Test Tags through
the medTester 5000C, using an optional Test Label Printer. Either the Brady
TLS PC Link (PN 2245515), the Fluke Biomedical Model TLP-1 or TLP-2
label printers are compatible with the medTester 5000C.
The Test Tag printer function will print up to five lines of information. Each
line describes a different parameter called a field and can hold up to 23
characters comprised of the field description, the output data itself and any
spaces created by the medTester.
Note
With the TLP-1 & 2, lines longer than the maximum number of
allowed characters will wrap to the next line on the label. For
example, if line number one is longer than 23 characters,
remaining characters will print on the second line. Since every
other line will print on the line below and if all five lines are
used, this will cause the fifth line to print on the next label of the
roll. With the TLS printer, each line longer than 23 characters
will simply be truncated
You can customize the printout by choosing any or all of the five fields listed
in the table below. For example, you could exclude the fourth line (Due). You
can not include other device or test information on the label.
