ABSTRACT:
A medical monitor is constructed to be coupled to a printer module for providing medical information signals to the printer module to be printed. The printer module is constructed to be used with two paper trays for accommodating two sizes of paper and includes a switch for sensing which paper tray is inserted in the printer module. The printer module is responsive to the switch to request that the medical information signals be provided in either the first or the second format. The printer module includes a thermal array printing head and is responsive to the medical information signals provided in the first format to print using substantially all of the length of the thermal array printing head and is responsive to the medical information signals provided in the second format to print using a predetermined portion of the thermal array printing head.
