Understanding How Media is Selected for Print Requests
Your imager can print to both the media cassette and the roll feeder. The
imager automatically selects the media source based on the media type
(film or paper) and size of the job request, for example:
• A job request with film specified at the modality will only go to the
media cassette (because film can only be loaded in the media
cassette).
– If the job request matches the loaded film size, the job prints.
– If the job request matches a supported film size but that size is not
loaded in the cassette, the DICOM interface alerts you that a
different media size is requested. You must load the requested
film size in the media casette so the job can print.
– If the job request does not match a supported film size, then the
imager prints to (or requests) the supported film size that is
closest to and larger than the job request.
• A job request with paper specified at the modality will only print to
paper. If paper is loaded in the media cassette and in the roll feeder,
then the imager uses the image size to determine the media source:
– If the job request matches a size that is already loaded in the
media cassette or can be printed on the roll paper (22.0 x 28.0 cm
/ 8.5 x 11.0 in., A3, or A4), then the job goes to the matching
media.
– If the job request matches a size that is loaded in the media
cassette and can be printed on roll paper (when either A3 or A4
paper is loaded in the media cassette), then the job goes to the roll
paper.
– If the job request does not match a supported paper size, then the
imager prints to (or requests) the supported paper size that is
closest to and larger than the job request. For example, a request
to print on 8.0 x 10.0 in. paper would print on 8.5 x 11.0 in. paper.
