Jean-Marc Lecomte, project manager comments: " Above all, the
speed factor. The PocketJet 200 is extremely fast compared to
the previous inkjet printer- we're talking about one minute, versus
three minutes. Previously, we inserted letterhead paper for each
report and this took extra time. But with the PocketJet and roll
paper, we can just print one time, any length, without any extra
effort. " |

Fire
Medics Take Pentax PocketJet Onboard
Challenge:
Paris fire
medics have a new REANIME database for posting patient reports
that had been tested with an inkjet printer. After considerable
problems were encountered with the usage and print quality of
an inkjet, the Brigade made the decision to switch to the Pentax
PocketJet. They were assisted by Mégatron, the Pentax distributor
in France. " There were a number of factors that led us to choose
the Pentax PocketJet, " explained Lieutenant Jean-Marc Lecomte,
project manager. He notes the speed of the printer, no cost and
replacement of ink supplies (no ink at all), and the finer print
quality was another important factor in the Brigade's decision
to go with the PocketJet. Their high volume printing needs meant
ongoing replacement of the ink cartridges in the inkjet printer.
Given the demanding and often stressful working conditions in
a moving emergency vehicle, the last thing a medic needed was
the hassle of trying to change an ink cartridge. Additionally,
the ink was sensitive to weather (sun or rain) and heat conditions,
and created runny, illegible copies. |

Application:
Pentax PocketJets tested in fire medic vans enabled fast, easy,
quality printing of patient reports.

Solution:
The Pentax
PocketJet smoked out the competition. The Brigade's printer requirements
were demanding: easy to use, durable construction, rapid print
speed, compact size and easy integration with the data terminal.
The practical design and functionality of the PocketJet was an
important consideration for the high-energy work environment inside
an aid vehicle. The PocketJet has no moving parts and is solidly
built. The Brigade is very satisfied with the REANIME system and
the Pentax PocketJet printer. "We have found a complementary
combination of technical solutions and we look forward to making
full use of them," Jean-Marc Lecomte concluded. " From the perspective
of the hospital personnel, who receive a clean, printed report
instead of a hastily handwritten document, we have had nothing
but positive response." |
