Checking the print queue If jobs have been transmitted from the network to the Drystar 5302, they are put in the print queue on a first in, first out schedule. New jobs that are added to the queue get the ‘waiting’ status. As soon as the last film of a job is ejected in the output tray, the next job that has been calculated will be put in printing status. Example of the print queue screen: Modaname 10:21:34 PR film 1 of 6 62% Modaname 10:21:34 CA xx Jobs in memory WA • The first line shows information on the job that is currently being printed: the modality name, the time of receipt of the job and the job status (refer to the table below). • The second line shows how many films are to be printed for the current job and also which film from that total is currently being printed. • The progress indicator keeps the user informed of the progress of a process (e.g., calculation of a bitmap, printing of a film). The line is gradually filled from left to right, from 0% to 100% as the process proceeds. • The last line (reachable by using the down arrow key) displays the number (xx) of print jobs that are in the Waiting (WA) status. These jobs have been loaded into the print queue and they are waiting to be printed. 2831A EN 20041201 Basic operation (Operator mode) 35 DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL A description of the possible status of the jobs is listed in the table below: Status Description PR Printing Printing of this job is in progress. CA Calculating The necessary calculations are already being made before printing of the job can be started. WA Waiting Jobs are queued in the printer memory. On the print queue screen the modality name defined during installation will be used to refer to the corresponding modality. If there is also a nickname (daily used name) defined during installation, the nickname is used. 36 Basic operation (Operator mode) 2831A EN 20041201 DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL About Drystar 5302 consumables The Drystar 5302 can handle blue-transparent and clear-transparent films.

The Drystar 5302 can be loaded with 8x10”, 10x12”, 11x14”, 14x14” and 14x17” films. The Drystar 5302 can be loaded with new films in full daylight. Loading films is easy and can be done very quickly. Follow the procedures as described in this section. The Drystar 5302 will inform you in several ways when a film tray is empty: • an audible signal, • the status indicator LED is flashing (red color), • the display screen shows a message informing you that the input tray is empty. The procedure is slightly different, depending on the fact whether the Drystar 5302 is printing/calculating or in the ready state. When the printer is in the ready state, go to Step 3. Make sure not to load more than one film pack in an input tray. Loading more than one film pack in the input tray may damage the Drystar 5302. When the Drystar 5302 is printing or calculating and an input tray is empty: The display shows the following message: Lower input tray empty DO NOT OPEN TRAY YET Get new film pack Wait while the printer finishes printing any current jobs. When the film path is cleared, proceed with step 3. 38 Basic operation (Operator mode) 2831A EN 20041201 DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL When the Drystar 5302 is in the ready state and an input tray is empty: The display shows the following message: Lower input tray empty OK to Open the INPUT TRAY Open the empty input tray. To avoid possible film jams, make sure to open input tray all the way. The printer is ready to receive a new film when the following message appears: Remove cover sheet from tray Load new film Close tray 2831A EN 20041201 Basic operation (Operator mode) 39 DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL Remove the white (protective) film sheet. Take film pack, and open it. Verify that the film type on the film pack corresponds with the sticker on the tray! If you do use an other film type, you are advised to change the label on the tray. You can put the film pack onto a table to make manipulation easier. Before you do this, make sure that the table is dust-free! 40 Remove the sticker from the film pack. Basic operation (Operator mode) 2831A EN 20041201 DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL Remove the plastic film bag partially. 10 Slide the film pack into the input tray, and remove the plastic film bag completely. 2831A EN 20041201 Basic operation (Operator mode) 41 DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL 11 Tear the plastic tape from around the film pack. 12 Close the input tray. The Drystar 5302 resumes printing as soon as the tray is closed. Loading instructions are also available on the input tray cover. Never reuse a jammed film. Refer to ‘Clearing of film jams’ on page 161 of the Drystar 5302 Reference manual. 42 Basic operation (Operator mode) 2831A EN 20041201 DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL Checking the correct position of a film in the input tray You can verify that the film is properly loaded by watching the lower right corner of the films in the input tray. The rounding of this corner should be smaller than the other three corners. This is also indicated on the sticker at the right side of the input tray cover. When a new film is loaded, the Film Identification tag is read and the printer settings are automatically adjusted. The Film Identification tag is located on the protective sheet on the backside of the film pack. The figure below shows the film pack upside down. 2831A EN 20041201 Basic operation (Operator mode) 43 DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL 44 Basic operation (Operator mode) 2831A EN 20041201
