Safety precautions
The Drystar 5302 must only be operated according to its specifications and its
intended use. Any operation not corresponding to the specifications or intended use
may result in hazards, which in turn may lead to serious injuries or fatal accidents
(for example electric shocks). AGFA will not assume any liability whatsoever in
these cases.
All images created using any image technology can show artifacts which could be
mixed up with diagnostic relevant information. If there is any doubt that the
diagnostic information could not be absolutely true, additional investigations must
be performed to get a clear diagnostic.
When operating or maintaining the Drystar 5302, always observe the
following safety guidelines:
•
•
•
•
Have electrical or mechanical defects repaired by qualified personnel only!
Do not override or disconnect the integrated safety features.
Ventilation openings should not be covered.
Always switch off the Drystar 5302 and disconnect the power cord from
the outlet before carrying out any maintenance work.
Film jam removal or cleaning the printer thermal head can be done without
switching the power off. Nevertheless, care should be taken and the following
instructions should be respected:
Always take into account the markings provided on the inside and outside of
the printer. A brief overview of these markings and their meaning is given
below.
Safety warning, indicating that the Drystar 5302 manuals should be
consulted before making any connections to other equipment. The
use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety
requirements of this printer may lead to a reduced level of safety of
the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice of
accessory equipment shall include:
• Use of the accessory equipment in the patient vicinity,
• Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory equipment
has been performed in accordance with the appropriate IEC 601-1
and IEC 601-1-2 harmonized national standard.

DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL
Privacy and security
Within the healthcare industry, several standardization efforts are ongoing as
a response to Privacy and Security legislation and regulations. The purpose of
this standardization for hospitals and vendors is to enable information
sharing, interoperability and to support the workflow of hospitals in a
multiple vendor environment.
In order to allow hospitals to comply with HIPAA regulations (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and to meet the IHE standards
(Integrated Healthcare Enterprise) some security features are included in the
user interface of the Drystar 5302 (available via the web pages only: under
‘Security tools’. Refer to Chapter 4, ‘Controlling the Drystar 5302 via a remote
PC (with browser)’ of the Drystar 5302 Reference manual):
• User authentication. The administrator can configure different user
accounts. Each account consists of a user name and a password.
• Audit logging. This implies logging to a central log server of specific
Drystar 5302 ‘actions’, e.g. startup/shutdown, user authentication
(failures), received print job ID information, etc.
• Node authentication, using certificates. Working with SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) allows secure communications over an insecure network. SSL is the
security layer on top of TCP/IP.
The first two functions are available when access to the Administrator is
granted (i.e. when the Administrator password has been correctly entered).
To activate the SSL, please contact your Agfa representative.
Node authentication, certificates and Certification Authority
Each device - connected to a network - will receive a unique identifier: the
X.509 certificate, a digital passport. Any device on the network is only
allowed to communicate with another node of which it is holding the
certificate in a ‘communication allowed’ table.
A Certification Authority (CA) is responsible for creating a certificate. The CA
can be the hospital, Agfa or a third party.
2831A EN 20041201
Introducing the Drystar 5302
15
DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL
This CA distributes the certificate to the hospital security responsible or
service technician, who for his part:
• Imports the device certificate, created by the CA.
• Imports the certificates of all peer devices with which communication is
authorized, i.e. creates the list of ‘communication allowed’ device
certificates.

Managing the print queue
You can always check the status of the print jobs.
Keep in mind that one print job can hold several films to be printed. In accordance
with the acquisition modality used and with the actual settings, films can be
grouped in a folder to be submitted as one print job for the Drystar 5302. Refer to
the User manual of the acquisition modality for more information.
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:

• 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.

Loading films
This section describes how to load the Drystar 5302 with appropriate 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.

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.
