Press to print the stored image displayed on the monitor. There is a delay of several seconds
before the printer at the base station begins processing an image to print. If PRINT is
pressed by more than one operatory at approximately the same time, the QDA receives the
print signals and sends them to the printer in the order they were received. The image is
frozen at the operatory in the VistaCam Omni ic 4 until the printer has processed all PRINT
commands received prior to this operatory's PRINT command. As soon as the printer has
received and processed the image from the operatory, the VistaCam Omni ic 4 will be
released to view other images. If the monitor in the operatory displays the icon in the lower
right corner (SINGLE image) or the frame (QUAD image), the VistaCam ic 4 is free to
capture additional images.

4. BEFORE YOU CAPTURE AN IMAGE (FORMAT AND SELECT)

nMULTI-OPERATORY INSTALLATION W/O INTEROPERATORY WIRING
Detach the camera from the Docking Station in the operatory and reattach to a Docking
Station located at the base station. (Make sure the Printer is set to a SINGLE image, in the
FRAME mode, with the MONITOR OFF (green light OFF). See PRE-INSTALLATION
CHECK to set up the printer correctly.
A. DETACH THE CAMERA IN THE OPERATORY
-Before detaching the camera, secure the handpiece and umbilical when transporting
the camera. Place the handpiece holder in an "up" position, insert the handpiece and
loop the umbilical around the extension on the holder. Or, hold the looped umbilical
and handpiece while holding the camera. Make sure the handpiece and umbilical are
secure before taking the camera to the printer location.
-Detach the camera from the Docking Station by depressing the latch release
(see Fig. 12) on the back of the camera. Then...
- If the camera is on a counter, tilt the camera up and lift off. (See Fig. 13A)
- If the camera is mounted on the wall, tilt the camera towards you and off. (See Fig. 13B)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The battery pack in the camera permits the user two hours to reattach the camera and to access the
captured image. If the captured image is not accessed within the two hour limit, the image will be "lost."
When the camera is attached to the Docking Station and the power is turned ON, the battery is being
recharged to full power. With a fully charged battery, several two hour cycles can be achieved without
recharging.

OPERATION
OPERATION
B. ATTACH THE CAMERA AT THE BASE STATION
Attach the camera to the Docking Station at the base station where the printer is located.
-If the Docking Station is on the counter, position the camera against the Docking Station, tilt the
camera up to catch the top edge of the Docking S
tation, then bring it down to lock in place. You will
hear it "click" when locked in place. (See Fig. 13A)
-If the Docking Station is mounted on the wall, position the camera on top of the Docking S
tation, tilt
the camera down (towards you) to catch the top edge of the Docking Station, them move it back
towards the wall (vertical) to lock in place. You will hear it "click" when locked in place.
(See Fig. 13B)
-After attaching the camera at the base station and turning on the power, the image that will print is
the last captured image, QUAD or SINGLE, that appeared on the monitor screen in the operatory.
When the camera is reattached to a Docking Station, the last captured image will always be displayed,
with the on-screen frame or the icon in the same position, provided that the camera was reattached
within the two hour battery pack time limit (See IMPORTANT NOTE on bottom of pg. 16).
NOTE:
If the camera was turned on within the two hour battery time limit it will return to the mode
and position it was in when turned off (i.e. QUAD memorized, QUAD live, SINGLE memorized or
SINGLE live.) If the camera was turned off or detached when in the "live" mode, when it is
reattached to the Docking Station and turned on, it will still be "live." The monitor screen
will appear to be black and either the icon, indicating SINGLE format, or the on-screen
frame will appear, indicating QUAD format. Press MONITOR to display the captured image.
-The PRINT command will print the image that is displayed on the monitor. To print the memorized
image make certain that it is displayed on the monitor prior to pressing PRINT.
Press PRINT on the multi-function footswitch to print the last captured image that appeared on the
monitor in the operatory. Installing a monitor at the base station is an option for those who want to
verify the image to be printed.It takes 53 seconds to print an image.
nMULTI-OPERATORY NETWORK WITH QDA (Queuing Distribution Amplifier)
Each operatory in a network can send a PRINT signal to the printer located at the base station.
The
QDA receives the signals and forwards them to the printer for processing in the order the signals
were received. Printouts are marked in the lower left hand corner with the number of the originating
operatory (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).
A. Press the PRINT button on the footswitch.
-When PRINT is pressed, the footswitch sends two signals to the printer via the QDA:
First a MEMORY signal is sent, then, after a delay of approximately 5 seconds; a PRINT
signal is sent. Once the PRINT
signal is received by the QDA, it takes 53 seconds to print an
image.
-When the printer is busy, the following occurs on the monitor after PRINT is pressed:
The on-screen frame (QUAD format) or icon (SINGLE image format) disappears.
The image remains frozen in the camera.
When the printer has captured the image, the on-screen frame or icon reappears.
Now you're ready to capture and print another image.
B. If a PRINT command is sent from more than one operatory at approximately the same time, or
sent when the printer has not yet completed printing, the image will be frozen in the camera until
the printer is ready to accept the PRINT command held in sequence by the QDA.
C. In an installation where a camera is shared among several operatories, a captured image can be
printed from any operatory equipped with a monitor, Docking Station and a footswitch. See
MULTI- OPERATORY INSTALLATION W/O INTEROPERATORY WIRING for how to
detach and attach the camera and how to PRINT.
