(operation Manual - https://www.ampronix.com/pdfs/Sony-UPD898MD-Operation-Manual-EN.pdf)

This has hardly been used it was a spare that was forgotten about and only found last week - tested fully working We no longer need this as we have upgraded to using colour Thermal Printers. 

The Sony UP-D898MD is an A6 monochrome digital graphic printer which allows for medical professionals to produce high-quality hard copies of ultrasound scans. With a light, compact and space saving design this printer allows for an easy, flexible integration into medical carts.

The high quality thermal print engine can produce hard copy prints of still images captured by multiple medical applications for use in patient records. For even greater convenience, printed still images can also be stored to a connected USB flash drive.

The UP-D898MD is a successor to the popular Sony UP-897 series of medical printers. Advanced thermal printing technology delivers near-photo quality results using widely available print media. Usability is further enhanced by an enlarged LCD display panel and joystick for intuitive menu navigation. 


HIGH PRINT QUALITY

Advanced thermal printing technology enables photo-quality black & white prints with resolutions up to approximately 325 dpi and grey levels up to 256 steps.

DUAL CUTTER CONFIGURATION

In addition to the conventional upper cutter, a lower cutter has been added to the front door. This enables paper to be cut in a downward direction in addition to an upward direction. This increased flexibility in cutting direction expands location choices for printer installation. For example, even if the printer is installed immediately below the operation console of an ultrasound system, paper can easily be cut from the front. Furthermore, a safety mechanism automatically hides the lower cutter when opening the front panel to change the printing paper.

A6 PRINTS IN LESS THAN TWO SECONDS

While operating in high speed mode, the UP-D898MD can produce A6-size prints in approximately 1.9 seconds (when used with UPP-110HG or UPP-110S print media).

COMPACT, SPACE-SAVING DESIGN

Measuring 88mm (H) x 154 mm (W) x 240 mm (D), the UP-D898MD has the same space-saving design as the UP-D897MD for easy, flexible integration into medical carts.

ENHANCED OPERABILITY

Building on the success of the popular UP-D897, the UP-D898MD features an enlarged LCD panel that displays printer settings, selected paper type and advisory messages. An intuitive joystick control allows speedy menu navigation, while the new Auto Lock mode prevents unintentional changes to print settings.

HARD COPY REFERENCE OF PRINT SETTINGS

For convenient reference, selected settings (Brightness, Contrast, Gamma and Sharpness) can optionally be printed in a blank space on the print paper.

USES WIDELY AVAILABLE PRINT MEDIA

Sony offers a choice of three high quality, widely available A6 thermal print media types to meet the needs of different applications. Choose from the UPP-110HD, UPP-110S, or the UPP-110HG High Glossy Printing Paper that produces glossy, long-lasting near-photo quality prints.

WIDE PC COMPATIBILITY

For maximum flexibility, a wide range of PC drivers are provided for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 (32/64bit).

QUICK GUIDE PRINT

Quick instruction guides for different print operations can be selected via the front control panel. They can be printed out for easy reference without needing to refer to the user manual.*
