Introductory note
In this document I will show the results, in a separate post I will publish the setting procedure.
As mentioned in a previous post, a small thermal printer will change the rules of the game tracking the history of an emergency intervention. In unconventional situations I have personally experienced that it maybe useful that some data are on paper instead of in digital format only. The other point is that some health status reports are better to be printed for a lot of reasons (discussed in future during the first tests). So Meditech will include a small thermal printer to produce - in some situation on-demand and as a mandatory task in others - short documents. Below there is a video showing the RPI printing a long list (the /usr/bin folder file list, for curious) to see a reliability, responsivity and speed test.
As the printer, with the proper control codes, can also work in graphic mode it will be used also to print some graphic representation of the data: available in multiple copies, on-field and immediately available.
