Seemingly minor details can sometimes be very important. When transporting sick and injured persons, patient and deployment data needs to be accurately recorded, including documentation of every single detail determined or measure implemented. The corresponding report then needs to be drafted and signed by the time the patient is handed over to the admitting hospital or patient care is completed.

Label printers are, for example, used in laboratory environments when laboratory samples, petri dishes or cell culture flasks need to be professionally labelled.
