HI, Its a common problem with Schiller ECG machine. The battery of your ECG machine is faulty. Even if you are using the machine in AC it uses the battery power. The AC power is only used for charging the battery.When the machine starts to print the battery will drop down and the printing will stop. This is happening with the machine. It will eject the first paper without printing. its normal. Because the machine starts printing on a fresh page only. In your case the machine is ejecting the first paper. When the machine starts its printing in the second page it will draw a large amount of current from the battery for its thermal printing head. If the battery is not proper then it will suddenly drop the printing. The square box you see is not printed by your ECG machine. Its already printed in the paper of Schiller. With this mark the Machine sense the page.Its a 12 volt 2.3 AH battery. You will not be able to replace the battery from out side any where. For replacing the same you have to open the machine by removing the screws on its bottom. Be care full with the paper tray while removing the top cover. Also do not use any force to open the top cover because there are connections on the top cover.Here i have added a link to the battery for Schiller AT2 PLUS BatteryAjin

Your machine has the wrong paper in it or the paper sensor is not working properly.  There should be a black mark on the top left hand corner of each page.  The correct ekg paper and ekg repair is available from Medical Device Depot.

The Schiller AT1 is a battery powered unit. A common symptom of weak/defective battery's is that it will stop printing after 1-2 seconds of run. As to whether the patient cable effects this, I honestly don't know, It really shouldn't, baring some very weird internal short in the cable. The battery in the AT1 is beyond the average user to safely replace. Before anything else insure that the AC indicator light illuminates when the unit is plugged in. If not, you device might have a defective power supply. In either case, the unit needs repair in a Qualified shop.

HI, Here i added a link which will help you to rectify the problem. Its seems to be the battery of your ECG machine is faulty.Schiller AT 1 Support

Your print head probably needs adjust. The Schiller ekg machines are notorious for these issues. You may want to send the machine in. We/ Discount Cardiology will look at your machine for free and call you with a diagnosis. I am 99% sure that this is the issue.

you either have 1. a defective patient cable, or 2. a defective PC board. The internal problem is very likely the input connector its self, buy this is a multilayer board, and requires an experienced hand with a soldering station. Also note that if the problem lies elsewhere on the board and the board has been worked on in any way, Schiller will no longer exchange it. A new PC board(aprox2200.00) would be your only option. IF the board is returned to Schiller having never been worked on, they will exchange it for around 800-900 dollars. A far better deal./

Thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)

To set the time, hit the ALT key followed by 911 and the time in this sequence HHMMSS.TO set the date hit the ALT key followed by 922 and the date in this sequence DDMMYY or MMDDYY depending on your software. Try both formats and keep the one that works. In any cast always do a test print prior to live patient use to be certain your happy with the format.

The unit is apparently printing out in Cabarra sequence. To restore the correct lead sequence, do the following: Hit the ALT key followed by 7 then 1, hen the stop key. This will restore standard lead sequencing. That is the start of the battle. If you desire a 3+1ryth format with a lead 2 at the bottom, which is our standard format, then you have more to do. For this format hit the ALT key followed by 1 then 0 followed by the stop key.to set the ryth lead to lead II at the bottom of the page, hit ALT followed by 3 then 8 then 2 followed by the stop key. If your filters are not enabled hit Alt 5 6 stop, alt 5 8 stop, Alt 8 3 stop, ALT 8 1 stop.Do a test print after all of this and be certain the unit is configured to your taste prior to a live patient.

To change the date, hit the ALT key followed by 911 then enter the time in this format: HHMMSS.Then hit the Alt key followed by 922 then enter the date in this format DDMMYY.Note that on some units you may have to enter the date in this format MMDDYYtry both ways and keep the one that works. Test with an printout.

On the right side of your keyboard are 4 direction arrows, left/right/up/down. The up and down arrows serve as your LCD view angle-contrast adjustments.

Be certain that you have the correct paper in your unit. THe Schiller AT2 uses a black Que mark on the paper to start the Automatic 12 lead. If the device fails to Que, it will never start an auto run, but manual(rhythm) functions will still remain. The part number paper you should be using is 2157-017A.

First of all, the Cardioline Delta 1 if defective would require shipment to Italy for repair, parts and technical information is at a premium this sid eof the atlantic on that particular model. In this case you might be able to resolve your problem by clearing your directory. Acording to Cardioline technical support, that *may* refer to a directory full situation. If you have a copy of your operators manual, refer to it regarding clearing your patient directory and deletion of all the patient data files. Note that doing so will permanently destroy any saved patient data, so print out anything that is important first. I cannot personally vouch for the accuracy of this information, as we have not sold a Delta 1 in many years, and ill admit to being rusty. In fact the tech support engineer was also unfamiliar with your error message, so this amounts to a *very slightly* educated guess. I hope it helps.
