This section details common issues with Version 4.1.0 
software that are likely to be experienced by most users.
◆
Changing ink cartridges without using the Ink 
Cartridge Load button on the top of the Recorder may 
cause a label with poor quality on the first disc printed 
with the new cartridges. 
To prevent this issue, press the 
Ink Cartridge Load button before removing old ink 
cartridges or an old print head. This issue applies only to 
newer engines that use separate ink cartridges for each 
color.
◆
Studies can be lost or corrupted if a hard power down 
occurs.
 Loss of power during some operations can result 
in lost or corrupt data. An uninterruptible power supply 
and proper shutdown procedure are strongly 
recommended.
◆
Compatibility problems with Internet Explorer
®
 7 or 
greater and Firefox
®
 3.
 There are minor cosmetic 
problems when remotely connecting with both browsers. 
Internet Explorer 6 is recommended for remote 
connections to Virtua.
◆
Discs-required counts are inaccurate for multi-disc 
backup jobs. 
When multi-disc backup jobs (all studies 
included in the job will not fit on one disc) are queued, 
the 
Discs Required
 count in the 
Status Details
 tab and 
the X of Y discs-recorded count on the 
Discs
 tab may 
contain inaccurate counts. Typically, the count will not 
increment until the entire set is completed.

This section details uncommon or obscure issues with 
Version 4.0.0 software that are unlikely to be experienced by 
most users.
◆
Virtua may stop processing jobs and an error dialog 
may appear on the touch screen. 
Pressing OK on the 
error dialog will allow the system to continue processing 
jobs. Discs that were in-process may be ejected without a 
printed label but will automatically be rerecorded and 
reprinted.
◆
Process may stop during software installation.
 Leaving 
the network cable connected may cause installation to 
stop during Phase 4. Disconnect cable prior to 
installation.
◆
DICOM association limit may be exceeded.
 DICOM 
clients that open many simultaneous associations might 
exceed Virtua’s limit of 24 simultaneous connections. 
This can cause the system to stop receiving DICOM jobs, 
requiring the system to be rebooted.
◆
Time-remaining indicators for jobs are inaccurate if 
there is more than one Jobs page.
 If there is more than 
one page of jobs queued (eight or more jobs), the time-
remaining indicator on the 
Discs
 tab will not be accurate 
on any pages other than the first page. Each page starts 
the time-estimation over again without accounting for 
the jobs on the previous page.
◆
Special handling for Recorder cover when installing 
software on the Virtua ECO family systems
. When 
media Smart Detect mode is enabled, leave the Recorder 
cover open when installing software. Closing the cover 
with Smart Detect mode enabled will cause Virtua ECO 
to load another disc on top of the installation disc.
◆
The LaunchPad does not work on Windows NT
®
, 
Windows 98
®
 or Windows 2000
®
 OS with Internet 
Explorer version lower than 5.5.
 When discs created on 
Virtua are installed on PCs, the LaunchPad is initiated. 
The LaunchPad can be used on Windows 
2000/XP/Vista
®
 and Windows ME
®
 with Internet 
Explorer v5.5 or higher. Users of affected platforms can 
use Windows Explorer to navigate to and launch viewers 
or open reports.
◆
Virtua ECO family system CD and DVD status lights 
unexpectedly alternate green and off for longer than 
two minutes.
 In some circumstances, Virtua ECO may 
show an unexpected shutdown taking longer than two 
minutes. The workaround is to perform a hard shutdown 
(press the System power button for about five seconds). 
Power on the system to return to normal operations 
when desired.
◆
IP address conflict is not reported.
 If Virtua is 
configured to support a range of IP addresses and there 
is a conflict, Virtua will not notify the user.
◆
Successfully archived studies not marked as archived.
Aborting a Scheduled Archive while a label is being 
printed may not mark studies successfully archived as 
archived. Studies will be re-archived during the next 
Scheduled Archive session.

◆
No Unicode support in Viewer. 
The Clarity Medical 
Image Viewer does not correctly display Unicode 
characters. It is uncommon for DICOM files to be 
encoded in Unicode.
◆
Limited Viewer support for international characters. 
Refer to the Clarity Viewer User’s Manual (Codonics Part 
No. CLARITY-MNLU) for details.
◆
No support for Indian locales.
 The Tamil, India (
ta_IN
) 
locale does not correctly support Tamil characters.
◆
Site phone numbers with country codes may be 
truncated on labels
. Most labels support nine characters 
for phone numbers for the site details. The Ink Saver 
label displays more characters.
◆
Cannot set date and time from Virtua user interface in 
some Tier 2 locales.
 The workaround for this problem is 
to run the system in the en_US locale (which is the 
factory setting), set the local time and date correctly, and 
then change the system to the desired operating locale. A 
list of Tier 2 locales and instructions for changing the 
locale are in the Virtua User’s Manual.
