activate printing direct from the control panel, follow the instructions in "Configuring Hot Keys to Activate

Connection directly to the Vivid i n system
The B/W Printer can be connected to either of the USB ports (upper or lower) on the rear connectors panel.
When connecting the B/W Printer directly to the system, it is necessary to use an additional power
source. As a safety precaution, this must be done via an isolation transformer.
The B/W Printer can be connected once the system is powered ON, or after shutdown. All software
drivers for the B/W Printer are pre-configured and installed designated to be used with the specific
B/W Printer supplied by GE Healthcare.

B/W Printer provided by GE Healthcare. The ultrasound system is an extremely sensitive and
complex medical system. Any unauthorized peripherals may cause system failure or damage!
