FCC ID: PA48E1587 User Manual Part 3 Operation and Maintenance 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. This program is part of Kodak’s commitment to reduce the environmental impact of our products. To recycle your empty film cartridges: 1. Replace your empty film cartridges in their original packages. Return as few or as many as you like each time.
Operation and Maintenance image quality parameters to ensure optimum image quality by monitoring the density patch printed on each film. The laser imager adjusts the parameters each time the laser imager prints a calibration film to ensure image consistency from film-to-film and lot-tolot. A calibration film is printed whenever: • AIQC detects that a new film lot number has been loaded. • You request a calibration test from the local panel.
Operation and Maintenance EPA Resource Recovery Act. Under RCRA, you may dispose of the filters in a landfill or incinerator with energy recovery in a municipal, commercial or industrial facility. Contact your state or local government to determine if additional disposal requirements apply. Latches Filter cover Charcoal filters Filter holder Replacing the Charcoal Filters To install new filters: 1. Open the 2 latches and pull the filter holder forward. 2. Remove the two used charcoal filters. 3.
Operation and Maintenance 7. Discard the 2 used filters. Preventive Maintenance To maintain optimum performance from the laser imager, Kodak recommends that preventive maintenance is completed by a Kodak authorized Service Provider after every 20,000 film cycles. The Status screen displays a “Preventive Maintenance” icon when the film count reaches 20,000 sheets of film. You can also monitor the “Prints to PM” line on the System Information screen.
Operation and Maintenance Key Operator Information A Key Op icon appears on every screen where Key Operator access is possible. This icon indicates when the Key Operator level is active. When active, the icon is hightlighted.

There are three types of icons that appear.
Operation and Maintenance • Crop. The image perimeter is removed to allow the image to fit on the film and print at the same scale as the anatomical area of interest. An image might be cropped if it is too large to print on the selected film size, and the size of the area of interest is important to retain. CAUTION: If anatomical areas of interest are near an outer edge of the image, they might be removed from the image when it is printed. • Minify. The image file is reduced by the removal of pixel data.
4 Troubleshooting Status, Error Messages, and Notifications Occasionally, you may have to correct minor problems. If more serious malfunctions occur, you must contact a trained Kodak Authorized Service Provider. See “Calling for Support” on page 4-25 for more information. To determine the operator action required, you should monitor imager operation and note the imager status and error messages.

Troubleshooting 1. When an error message appears, touch anywhere in the error popup menu. 2. When a no-media message appears, touch any tray button or the Job Management button on the Status screen. NOTE: The laser imager prints a job only with the specified size/media base type requested. If the size/base is not loaded, the print request is put into the “No Media” queue and the laser imager waits for the correct type to be loaded. If this action does not clear the error message, call for service.

6 Film Technical Information General Description This section describes the characteristics of Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film, not the operation of the 8900 laser imager.DryView Laser Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive, photothermographic film designed specifically for the family of DryView Laser Imagers. DryView Laser Imaging Film is packaged in daylight load packages, available in blue or clear, 7-mil polyester base, and is available in the following five sizes: • 8 x 10 in.
Film Technical Information Characteristics Sensitometric 3.5 3 Density 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 Relative Log Exposure Image Quality DryView Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone images along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This highquality, silver-based film provides radiologists with the same diagnostic information they are accustomed to viewing - including the spatial resolution, contrast and grey levels.
Film Technical Information Slight density variations are corrected automatically. Environmental Impact Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous to the environment. As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of film with less impact on the environment than if you were using wet-developed silver halide films.
Film Technical Information developed films. However, prolonged exposure to intense light or excessive heat (130° F/54.4° C) for more than 3 hours, may cause some gradual darkening of images. Leaving films in vehicles in hot climates for extended periods of time is not recommended. For best results, store film in sleeves when not being reviewed.
Film Technical Information periodic replacement. DryView Laser Imagers require no special venting. Dissipating Heat DryView Laser Imagers use controlled heat to develop DryView Laser Imaging Film. The heat has virtually no effect on the air temperature of the work area. The amount of heat dissipated into an area during a day is typically less than the heat generated by four 100-watt light bulbs.
