1 Introduction Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager The Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager is a continuous-tone laser imager with an internal photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather than photo chemicals, is used to develop the film. The Imager receives digital images from medical image source devices (modalities) over a network. The format that the Imager accepts is DICOM. The Imager prints images on Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film that is packed in 125-sheet cartridges.
Introduction H200_0036CAA 8150 Laser Imager 1-2 7F3319 September 30, 2004
Introduction How the Laser Imager Works The Imager is a network printer connected on a network along with one or more medical imaging devices. It prints images sent over the network from up to twelve medical imaging devices or workstations sending images concurrently. Image Source Devices Modality Network Modality Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager H200_0001ba Modality The Imager has hard-disk storage for a large number of digital images.
Introduction During normal operation the Imager requires very little operator attention. The Imager prints automatically in response to print requests from the associated image devices. Information sent along with images by the modalities, such as film size, density and priority, control the print operations. Main operator responsibilities are loading film and monitoring for malfunctions. Print Sequence 1-4 Each time the Imager prints a film, the following sequence occurs.

2 Operation and Maintenance Operator Control of the Imager During normal operation, the Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager receives and automatically prints images sent by modalities over a network. Very little operator control is required. The main operator responsibilities are: • Turn Imager power ON or OFF. • Load film cartridges. • Monitor the number of prints remaining until preventive maintenance is required. • Monitor and control some Imager functions using the Local Panel.
Operation and Maintenance Turning Imager Power ON and OFF Power ON The power switch is located on the back of the Laser Imager. To turn ON the Imager, set the power switch to the "|" position. The Imager performs a power-up self test that takes about five minutes. After some initial boot-up screens, the Local Panel Home screen appears. Power Off Button DVB 14x17 Local Panel Home Screen After the power-up test, the Imager begins a warm-up period that lasts up to 25 minutes.
Operation and Maintenance 2. Touch Yes. The following 2 screens are displayed while the Imager is shutting down software. 3. Set the power switch to the "O" (Off) position.
Operation and Maintenance Power Failures 2-4 In the event of a power loss, the Laser Imager shuts down. Any films in process will not be completed. To restart the Imager after power is restored, turn OFF the power switch on the back of the Imager and then turn it ON. After warming up, the Imager automatically reprints any films that were in process when power was interrupted.
Operation and Maintenance Using the Touch Screen Local Panel The Local Panel displays a collection of screens that you can use to monitor Imager operations and to control some Imager functions.

Operation and Maintenance If the modality does not respond to the Ping, a message screen informs of the failure PM (Preventive Maintenance)| Service Menu Choice This menu choice performs two functions: Selecting PM on the Service Screen displays the screen below. • Enters the current date into the Service History log as the date of a PM session. • Resets the "Prints to PM" counter to zero. This counter records the number of films of each size printed since the last PM.
Operation and Maintenance When you enter the Customer First passcode and press OK, the PM date is entered and the "Prints to PM" counter is reset. A confirmation screen notifies you that the operation is complete. Image Resizing If the image sent from the modality is too large for the size of film in the Imager, the Imager can resize the image to fit on the film by either of two methods: • Minify - To reduce the image to fit on the selected film size.
Operation and Maintenance Image Resizing Methods Resizing Method Icon Printed on Film Minify Minify Icon The image file is reduced by the removal of pixel data. If the Minify choice was selected when the Imager was setup, the Imager will minify an image if: or Scale Icon 1. The modality sends an image that is too large for the film in the Imager. In this case the Minify icon is printed on the film. 2. The modality requests an image size that the Imager cannot print.
Operation and Maintenance Image Resizing Methods Resizing Method Icon Printed on Film Crop (continued) Cropping allows “true size” printing for larger images. True size printing provides a common scale between images captured on analog systems (those which use medical x-ray film exposed by phosphor screens in cassettes) and printed digital images. The anatomical area of interest is printed at the same size that it is captured on the analog system.
Operation and Maintenance Operation Opening the Front Door During normal operation you may need to open the front door of the Imager to insert or remove the film cartridge, clear a film jam or change the charcoal filter. To open the front door while power is ON: 1. On the Home screen, touch the Film Supply button. Film Supply Button 2. Touch Open Front Door. The front door opens after the Imager closes the film cartridge and completes printing any films in process.
Operation and Maintenance the front door will not unlatch. An error message appears to announce this error. The Error Message screen includes an Open Door button that will force the door open even though the film cartridge remains open. Opening the Front Door Manually If the Imager power is OFF or if opening the front door from the Local Panel fails, you can use the manual latch to open the front door.

Insert the cartridge into the slot as shown in the illustration. 3. Slide the cartridge fully into the Imager. 4. Close the front door. After you close the door, the Imager opens the film cartridge.
Operation and Maintenance Recycling Empty Film Cartridges In some regions you can return your empty Kodak DryView Film Cartridges to Kodak for reuse and recycling. Contact your Kodak sales representative to determine the availability of the film cartridge recycling program in your region. Returned cartridges are carefully inspected. Only components that meet strict quality standards are reused. Components that do not meet the standards are sent to recycling centers for reclamation.
Operation and Maintenance 2. Touch Calibrate Film. 3. Touch Yes then OK. The Imager will print a calibration film before printing any jobs in the print queue that have not yet started printing and will interrupt a multi-sheet print job to run a calibration print. Requesting a Density Test The Imager can print an internally generated density test print with a SMPTE pattern. Density test prints are often used as a quality assurance tool to verify the uniformity of films printed by the Imager.
Operation and Maintenance 3. Touch Run Density Test. 4. If you want to change the maximum density value, highlight Change Max Density and touch Select.
Operation and Maintenance 5. Enter the maximum density value that you want and touch OK. (Upper limit: 3.1.) The Density test screen reappears. 6. To print more than one copy, highlight Change copies and touch Select. 7. On the keypad, enter the number of copies and touch OK. 8. Highlight Print film and touch Select.
