|
Sony UP-X898MD is a hybrid printer, which means that the printer can print from both types of signals used in medical and diagnostic devices * analog signal / VIDEO ( PAL& NTSC] * digital signal / USB 2.0 This feature ( both built-in interfaces ) gives the printer a very universal use. This feature is also supported by WIN drivers, where in addition to the newer WIN 7/8/10 drivers, there are available drivers for previous WIN XP, Vista .... ie the printer can be connected to older devices that use these OS versions. The printer is designed for black and white photo printing of images 100 x 75 / up to 450 x 100 mm on Sony thermal sensitive paper. Specific features : * The picture 94 x 71 mm is printed during 3.3 sec * Minimized dimensions 154 x 88 x 240mm * Low weight 2.5 kg * Drivers under WIN XP / Vista / 7/ 8 / 10 * Printing on 3 types of papers UPP-110S / UPP-110HD / UPP-110HG according your choice The printer has many improvements. The paper cutters are newly placed on both sides of the paper (top and bottom), ie you can tear the printed image comfortably at any location of the printer. You can also save the printed image (regardless of the Video / Digital input signal) to an external USB Flash Drive. You can adjust the brightness or contrast of the printed image, in addition to locking these 2 controls against accidental resetting, the image can be divided into 2 smaller different images, etc., ... all optimized for quick documentation |

VIDEO
connection ( analog ) SIGNAL
|
Printer connection via VIDEO ( Analog ) For older medical devices, the VIDEO signal was used as the only alternative. Modern devices are equipped with VIDEO OUT sometimes too, as this connection is very simple The video signal enters continuously to the printer ( and monitor ), and when you press the PRINT button, the live image is captured and prints immediately. All is very fast, simple and due to the size of a normal image (approx. 7 x 10 cm), the resolution of the video signal is sufficient for a quality print. If you connect the printer this way, just plug one side of the BNC-BNC cable into the ultrasound output - connector is marked VIDEO OUT and insert the other end of the cable to the rear panel of the printer to connector VIDEO IN (see picture). The BNC connectors are of the bayonet type, after insertion you must turn them to the locked position |
|
||
|
USB connection ( digital ) SIGNAL |
Printer connection via USB 2.0 ( Digital ) For all modern medical devices, the printer is connected via digital interface / USB. Higher resolution data enters the printer, however, the actual printing time is extended by the time the datas are transferred from the ultrasound to the printer. Insert USB cable on the printer to the USB connector (app. square slot) , see picture. ( please do not confuse with the USB slot for the USB Flash Disc) If you connect the printer in this way, you must also install the appropriate driver to your device, depending on the type of WIN on which your device is running, see. further Connecting cables are not part of the printer, they can be ordered : eshop cables |

DRIVER INSTALLATION |
Driver installation If you need to connect the printer via USB 2.0 to ultrasound, please contact your ultrasound dealer. Ultrasound has locked access to WIN under a password so that the program cannot be accidentally reconfigured. You will not be able to install the appropriate printer driver without entering WIN ! A driver CD is included with the printer. If you want to install the printer under actual WIN10, it is better to download the latest version of the driver via the Internet - the drivers are on our website or at this address https://pro.sony/en_CZ/support-resources/up-x898md/software On the right side there is a link to the installation instructions for drivers from WINXP to WIN8, we will describe the installation procedure for WIN 10 |

 |

|
Printing preferences - Density adjust You can adjust the saturation / brightness of the image at default menu setting. For more options, you need to uncheck the boxes in the Settings menu : Gamma / Tone / Sharpness see next picture |
 |
|||
|
|
Gamma : There are 4 presets. The TONE 2 setting is recommended for sonographic examinationTone / Dark / Light : Adjustment of brightness / density using gamma curve: The X-axis shows 256 degrees of shade of color from black to white, ie along the X-axis we go to lighter shades ! The X axis represents the input data, ie the source image. The Y-axis is analogous, but shows the output data, ie how the image will be printed. In the normal setting, the gamma curve is linear, ie the same hue level corresponds to a given hue level when printing If you move the curve point in the + Y direction, you assign a higher = lighter shade when printing to the given hue on the X axis. As the point of the curve moves, the whole curve moves in the same direction, ie. moving + Y increases the brightness of all colors in the entire hue range from the original setting. Sharpness : sharpness adjustment 0 - 14 |
