Printing

  1. On the Summary page, click 🖨 Print / Save as PDF
  2. A confirmation dialog appears — verify you have reviewed the data
  3. Click Continue — your browser's print dialog opens
Patient identity

The protocol leaves patient identity fields blank. Fill in the patient's name and ID number by hand after printing. This information is never entered into LOSPOR or stored anywhere.

  1. In the print dialog:
    • Set Paper size to A4
    • Set Orientation to Landscape
    • Set Margins to None
    • Enable Background graphics
  2. Click Print (to a printer) or Save as PDF

Layout

Both pages are formatted for A4 landscape paper. The protocol is designed to fit exactly two pages — one sheet of A4 printed double-sided.

The timetable graph automatically scales to the duration of the case (minimum 1 hour, expanding as needed).

Dark mode

If you are using the app in dark mode, the protocol automatically switches to a white/light background when printing, regardless of your theme setting.
