Troubleshooting
Correcting Errors
Occasionally errors (malfunctions), such as film jams, may occur in the
imager during print operations. You can easily correct minor problems. If
more serious malfunctions occur, you should contact a trained Authorized
Service Provider of Kodak products (see “Calling for Support” on
page 3-17).
Error and Alarm
Indications
The Imager can detect malfunctions and other conditions that require
operator action. The Local Panel reports the presence of these errors or
abnormal conditions in several ways:
• Error Message screen
• Current Errors screen
• Current Errors notice on the Home screen
• Home screen status messages
Home Screen Status
Messages
For a description of the status information reported on the Home screen,
see “Home Screen Status Line” on page 2-14. Most of these status messages
do not report errors or abnormal conditions, but they do give information
about the current state of the Imager that may be useful for troubleshooting.
Status information about the film supply and film tray is displayed within the
Film Tray button on the Home screen. For a description, refer to “Film
Supply Button Status Information” on page 2-12.

Calibration Failure
Periodically the Imager must be calibrated to ensure that internal settings
match the characteristics of the film in the Imager. Calibration is performed
by running a calibration print. The Imager runs a calibration print when:
• A film cartridge containing film with new sensitometric characteristics
(speed, contrast) is loaded.
• The Imager has not printed film for 7 days.
• The Dpatch (density patch) printed on the film is out of range.
The operator can also request a calibration print from the Local Panel.
For more information on calibration, see “Running a Calibration Print” on
page 2-53.
Occasionally, the Imager may fail calibration. When this occurs, the Local
Panel displays an error message screen. Depending on the cause of the
calibration failure, the Imager may or may not be able to continue
operating.
There are four conditions that cause calibration failure. The four error
message screens, below and on the next page, describe these error
conditions and show recommended operator actions.
These two errors indicate possible film aging. You can elect to continue
operation with the current film by touching Yes on the error screen.

These two calibration errors indicate a major machine or film fault. The
Imager cannot continue to operate with the current film.
If you cannot restore normal operation by following the recommended
action on the error message screen, call for service. (See “Calling for

Film Transport Problems
The illustration below shows the path that film travels through the Imager
after the operator requests a print. The numbers in the illustration identify
key areas on the path through the five major areas in the Imager:
Area 1 – Film pickup from the cartridge
Area 2 – Film feed into the exposure area
Area 3 – Film feed out of the exposure area
Area 4 – Film feed into the processor
Area 5 – Film feed out of the processor and into the film tray

Films may occasionally jam at various points along the film path. When a
film jam or film feed error occurs, an error message appears. The error
message identifies the area where a jam has occurred and recommends a
corrective action. The following information supplements the advice given
in the error messages for film feed problems.
Manually Closing the Film Cartridge
When clearing film jams you may have to close the film cartridge manually.
Normally the Imager automatically closes the film cartridge when you press
the Open Front Door button. When a film jam occurs, the Imager may be
unable to close the cartridge. The front door then will not open.
When the film cartridge fails to close, an error message appears. Press the
Door Open button on the Error Message screen to unlock the front
door.
NOTE: If you open the front door when the film cartridge is open, the top
sheets of film in the cartridge are exposed. Before opening the

Adding a Modality
After the Imager has been placed into service, you can later configure the
Imager to print images from additional modalities. The Imager is capable of
receiving images from twelve DICOM-compatible modalities concurrently.
Adding a modality involves adjusting some of the image quality settings in
the Imager to match the new modality. The following procedure explains
how to add one new modality.
NOTE: You must have the Service Passcode to perform this
procedure.
Preparing to Add a Modality
• Before you begin, make sure that the new modality has been set up to
print to the Imager. The Imager must be available as a print destination
in the modality print command.
• You will need the following information about the modality:
– The modality manufacturer
– The modality type (CT, MR, etc.)
– The modality model designation
– The type and size of film to be used
– Is the modality GSDF-compliant?
– If GSDF-compliant, does the modality use PLUTs for all images it
sends or only for some images?
• You should also decide on a screen name for the modality. This name
will be used only on the Imager Local Panel to identify the modality
September 30, 2004
7F3319
4-1
Adding a Modality
Modality-Related Parameters
The Imager must be configured to print from each connected modality. In
the Imager a set of modality-specific parameters must be created for each
modality that will print to the Imager.
For many modalities, the required parameters can be taken from the
"Modality Preferences Database" (MPDB). This internal database, within
the Imager, contains tested parameter sets for many commonly used
modalities.
Modality configuration is accomplished in three ways:
• First Print - When a modality prints to the Imager for the first time, the
Imager automatically attempts to identify the type of modality from
information included in the print job. If the Imager identifies the
modality, it searches for a parameter set in the MPDB. If an appropriate
parameter set is not found, the Imager assigns a universal set of
parameters to the modality. If the parameter set does not produce
acceptable prints, the installer can go on to the
"Manufacturer/Model/Type" procedure.
• Manufacturer/Model/Type - If the automatic search in the MPDB is
not successful, the installer can enter the Manufacturer, Model and Type
of the modality on the Local Panel. The Imager uses this information to
search the MPDB again for a set of parameters. A universal parameter
set is applied if an approprialte parameter set is not found. If the
parameter set is not acceptable, the Installer must use the Manual Entry
method.
• Manual Entry - The installer can enter or adjust individual modality
parameter values on several modality configuration screens.
For each of the above methods, the user must print a clinical image and
check image quality to determine if the parameter set is acceptable.
The user can use a combination of manual entry and one of the other two
methods. For example, the user may accept the "First Print" parameter set
but adjust one or two of the parameters manually to suit local preferences.
The parameter set selected using the above methods is placed in a
"Connection Database" in the Imager and used to print all images from the
modality. The Connection Database contains a separate parameter set for
each modality associated with the Imager.

10. Wait for the Imager to print the image sent from the modality.
• The imager will attempt to find an appropriate set of parameters for
the modality in its internal database of modality parameters.
• If no parameter set is found for the modality, the Imager uses a
universal set of parameters to print the test image.
11. Examine the quality of the print. Determine if it is acceptable.
12. On the Select Modality screen (page 4-4), select the modality that
printed the image.
13. Is the quality of the print acceptable?
• If acceptable, touch No (do not use the modality installation

Optimizing Image Quality
Image Quality Parameters
If the quality of an image printed by the Imager is not acceptable, you will
have to enter new values for the parameters shown on the "Image quality"
screen. This section provides basic information that will help you select and
enter values for these parameters that are appropriate to the type of
modality that sent the image.
The Advanced Parameters
are "Polarity" and "Smoothing
Type."
The "Image quality" parameters include:
• Image Density - A setting that determines the maximum density
(Dmax) that will be used in printing.
• Border density - The density of the border of the film.
• TFT Set - A group of 15 Transfer Function Tables (TFTs) used in Kodak
Imagers. Each TFT in the set is a grayscale curve that relates each digital
input (pixel) value to a target value of perceived brightness and a
corresponding target value of printed optical density.
• Table number - A number (1- 15) which specifies a particular TFT
(contrast curve) in the TFT Set selected for printing.
September 30, 2004
7F3319
5-1
Optimizing Image Quality
• Advanced - Includes two parameters:
– Polarity - In general, indicates whether an image is black on a
white background or the reverse. In this case, specifies whether the
Imager will print images with the same polarity as the images sent
from the modality (Positive), or the reverse (Negative).
– Smoothing Type - A value (1 - 15) that specifies a level of
smoothness/sharpness in transition between density differences.
Selecting the Image Quality Parameter Values
Use Table 1 (on page 5-4) and Table 2(on page Page 5-8) to select the
image quality parameters. The parameter selections are based on modality
type. They also depend on whether the modality is GSDF-compliant. (GSDF
stands for Grayscale Standard Display Function.)
To select the parameters:
• If the modality is not GSDF-compliant, go to “Non-GSDF Modalities”
below.
• If the modality is GSDF-compliant and does not use PLUTs or uses PLUTs
for only some images, go to “GSDF-Compliant Modalities” on page 5-9.
(PLUT stands for Presentation Look-Up Table.)
• If the modality is GSDF-compliant and uses PLUTs for all images, it is not
necessary to change the image quality values in the Imager. Continue
with “Setting the Advanced Parameters” on page 4-11.
Non-GSDF Modalities
5-2
Use this procedure to select parameters for modalities that are not GSDFCompliant.
Write down the parameter values you select.
1. Refer to Table 1 and find the Modality Type for which the Imager is
being configured.
2. Choose the TFT Set recommended in the table for this type of
modality. If more than one TFT Set is listed, read the Notes in the table
for guidance in selecting the appropriate set.
3. Choose the Table No. (contrast setting) recommended for the chosen
TFT Set. If a number is in boldface type, choose this number first. (You
may have to try more than one Table Number.)
7F3319

Optimizing Image Quality
4. Choose the Image Density associated with the Table No. you chose.
If there is a range of density values:
• Choose the density value indicated in bold if there is one.
• If there is no bold value, choose the middle value. For example, if
the range is 2.7 to 3.1, choose 2.9.
• If there are only 2 density values, choose either one.
5. Choose the Smoothing Type from Table 1.
6. For Border Density on the film, choose a low density for a clear
border and a high density for a black border. Typically this density is
matched to the Image Density. (This parameter is not included in
Table 1.)
7. For Polarity of the film, choose either Positive or Negative. Positive is
used for most applications. Negative is used by Nuclear Medicine
modalities. (This parameter is not included in Table 1.)

Film Technical Information
General Description
This section describes the characteristics of Kodak DryView Laser Imaging
Film, not the operation of the Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager. DryView
Laser Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive,
photothermographic film designed specifically for the family of Kodak
DryView Laser Imagers. DryView Laser Imaging Film is packaged in
daylight load packages, available in blue or clear, 7-mil polyester base.
The 8150 Laser Imager accepts three film sizes:
• (28 x 35 cm) 11 x 14 in.
• (35 x 35 cm) 14 x 14 in.
• (35 x 43 cm) 14 x 17 in.
Spectral Sensitivity
September 30, 2004
DryView Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to
the infrared laser diode of DryView Laser Imagers. When handled
according to instructions on the daylight-load film package, safelights are
not needed. If you remove undeveloped film from the daylight load
package, you will need a darkroom setting and a green safelight.

Image Quality
DryView Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone
images along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This
high-quality, silver-based film provides radiologists with the same diagnostic
information they are accustomed to viewing - including the spatial
resolution, contrast and grey levels. Because it is a totally dry imaging
process, there is no image quality variability due to “wet” chemistry.
Automatic Image Quality DryView Laser Imaging Film is system-matched for the Kodak patented
Control
Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) technology. This fully automated
system, which is a standard feature of DryView Laser Imagers, is designed
to ensure that image quality parameters meet preset user preferences,
film-to-film, lot-to-lot.
Environmental Impact
7-2
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.

* State and local laws vary. Consult appropriate regulations or authorities prior to disposal.
Recycling Film
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards,
DryView Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous and requires no
special disposal procedures. However, the film does contain silver and
polyester that may be recovered by using one of several recycling processes.
Call your local Kodak sales representative or go to the Kodak web site

Refer to Publication J700 and see “End of Life Management' section.
Storing and Handling
Undeveloped Film
To achieve consistent results up to the expiration date indicated on the film
package, DryView Laser Imaging Film must be stored in a cool, dry place
(41° F/5° C to 77° F/25° C) and protected from radiation and chemistry
fumes.
The film can withstand short-term temperature spikes (up to 95° F/35° C)
for several hours during transit without any significant effect on film quality
or performance. Transit temperatures above 95° F/35° C will gradually
diminish shelf life. If the AIQC encounters film that has been damaged by
improper handling, the AIQC will automatically alert system operators.

Film Technical Information
Handling Developed Film Handling DryView Laser Imaging Film requires reasonable care.
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.
Spills, humidity and other forms of water typically have no significant effect
on image quality or film integrity. If necessary, film can be cleaned with a
clean, damp cloth.
For best results, store film in sleeves when not being reviewed. DryView
Laser Imaging Film can be left on a light box for more than 24 hours. In
extreme cases in which light boxes are exceptionally hot (120° F/49° C),
Kodak recommends removing them prior to 8 hours of continuous
exposure.
Take care when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds because
temperatures near the light source may exceed 180° F/82.2° C. Use in slide
projectors is not recommended due to the high temperatures generally
found in these devices.
With DryView technology, a small amount of final development occurs
when the film exits the Laser Imager and is initially exposed to ambient or
view-box lighting. This is virtually undetectable and has no effect on image
quality (i.e., typically 0.02 change in density). This small density increase is
uniform and permanent upon full exposure of the film under normal
handling conditions (i.e., room light or view box).
Archiving Developed Film DryView Laser Imaging Film has been tested and can be archived for more
than 100 years when stored at American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
recommended storage conditions (77° F/25° C). Developed films may be
stored at higher temperatures; however, that may reduce the number of
years the film can be stored. For example, storing films at a constant
elevated temperature of 90° F/32.2° C may reduce archive capability to 30
years.
Dissipating Odor
7-4
DryView technology eliminates virtually all unpleasant odors. While some
low-level odors are produced during the development process, they pose
no known adverse health risks. Processing odor levels are further reduced
by a non-hazardous, recyclable filter in the Laser Imager. This filter traps
most low-level odors and prevents them from dissipating into the work

environment. To help maintain optimum performance, the filter requires
periodic replacement. DryView Laser Imagers require no special venting.
Dissipating Heat
September 30, 2004
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.
