Appendix C: Optional printer

Because the DenOptix QST system can be interfaced with different applications software, and
printer technology is constantly evolving, we can only suggest a list of suitable technical
requirements for printers.
To interface with the PC, the printer must have a digital input and not a video (analog) input.
Using the standard Windows® drivers allows the use of the same printer for all other
Windows applications (word processing, etc.).
Inkjet printers
Black and white or color hard copy. Printers should have a minimum of 600 dpi resolution
and pseudo-randomic dithering.
We recommend using the photographic quality glossy paper and printing on the highest
resolution setting available.
Thermal printers
Thermal printers print in shades of grey with at least 64 levels. Thermal printers use a
special type of paper which guarantees a print life of about 3 years.
Dye sublimation printers
Suitable for high printing quality whenever the DenOptix QST System is used in combination
with an intraoral camera.
Laser printers
If a Laser Printer is adopted, contact the Printer manufacturer or a representative to make
sure that it can achieve at least 256 gray shades. Non medical grade Laser Printers may
not be able to achieve a good image quality.
Application software
Please refer to the instructions in the application software for special information about
printers.
