Features

High print quality

Advanced thermal printing technology enables photo-quality black & white prints with resolutions up to approximately 325 dpi and grey levels up to 256 steps.

Dual cutter configuration

This increased flexibility in cutting direction expands location choices for printer installation.

For example, even if the printer is installed immediately below the operation console of an ultrasound system, paper can easily be cut from the front. Furthermore, a safety mechanism automatically hides the lower cutter when opening the front panel to change the printing paper.

A6 prints in less than two seconds

While operating in high-speed mode, the UP-D898MD can produce A6-size prints in approximately 1.9 seconds (when used with UPP-110HG or UPP-110S print media).

Compact, space-saving design

Measuring 88mm (H) x 154 mm (W) x 240 mm (D), the UPD898MD has the same space-saving design as the UP-D897MD for easy, flexible integration into medical carts.

Enhanced Operability

Building on the success of the popular UP-D897, the UP-D898MD features an enlarged LCD panel that displays printer settings, selected paper type, and advisory messages. An intuitive joystick control allows speedy menu navigation, while the new Auto Lock mode prevents unintentional changes to print settings.

Hard copy reference of print settings

For convenient reference, selected settings (Brightness, Contrast, Ga, and Sharpness) can optionally be printed in a blank space on the print paper.

Uses widely available print media

Sony offers a choice of three high-quality, widely available A6 thermal print media types to meet the needs of different applications. Choose from the UPP-110HD, UPP-110S, or the UPP-110HG High Glossy Printing Paper that produces glossy, long-lasting, near-photo quality prints.
