Viewing, printing and storing the recorded data

Depending on which type of tachograph smart-card is inserted, vehicle-related data can be read out of the mass memory and
driver-related data read out of the driver's smart-card and then displayed, printed or downloaded.
3.4.1

Viewing the data

Various parameters can be shown in the display. The display is situated in the driver's immediate field of view and can be set to
display the desired information using operating keys.
3.4.2

Handling the printouts

The data in mass memory and the data on the driver's smart-card can be printed out via an integrated printer. Only authorized
printer paper is to be used for tachograph printouts, and this is recognizable by the certification mark on the back of the paper.
It is a special type of thermal printing paper.
Note
Printouts are made using thermal printing paper. A printout can become unreadable through the effects of
warmth, sunlight, moisture or chemicals.
Please observe the following rules when handling printouts:
y
Avoid exposing the printouts to sunlight, direct light, moisture and warmth.
y Do not use any text highlighters on the printouts.
3.4.3

Data download

Data in the mass memory must be read out at least once every three months and archived by the vehicle owner. Data read out
in this way must be stored in a safe location for a period of 2 years. It must always be possible to make this data available to
inspection authorities at any time.
Reading data out of mass memory is performed for example via the front-mounted download interface (standard six-pin inter-
face). The downloaded data can be stored and archived on an external storage medium.
Downloading the data does not change or delete the data in mass memory. The mass memory can store around 365 days of
data when the tachograph sees average use. After the 365 days, the device begins overwriting the first day's data, then those
of the second day and so on.
Driver smart-card data can be read out with a special reader or via the tachograph and archived on an external storage device.
Like mass memory data, driver smart-card data must be kept for a period of two years. It must always be possible to make this
data available at the request of the regulatory authorities.
Similar to the download of the data from the mass memory, driver smart-card data are also not changed or deleted when
downloaded. The driver smart-card data must be read out every 28 days and archived.
3.4.4

Handling the data readouts

If a tachograph has to be replaced, you are obliged to copy the data with the assistance of a workshop smart-card and to save it
on an external storage medium. Reading data out is effected via the standard six-pin service interface on the front of the device.
Data in the recording device's mass memory is only copied, it is not modified. It can be downloaded using any normal, com-
mercially available equipment (PC software and serial cable, or your service partner's download key). The data must be made
available to the transportation company and must be archived for a period of 2 years. The data must be destroyed at the end of
the archival period.
If it is not possible to download the data, you must issue a certificate in accordance with Appendix XVIII of the StVZO and present
this to the transportation company. This will serve as proof for the company in the event of an inspection by the authorities that
the data could not be archived. A copy of the document must be kept for a period of one year.
