Introduction
Introducing the Kodak DryView 8700 and 8500 Laser Imagers
The Kodak DryView 8700 Laser Imager (8700 Laser Imager) and the Kodak
DryView 8500 Laser Imager (8500 Laser Imager) are continuous–tone laser
imagers with an integrated photothermographic film developer.
The two imagers are nearly identical except for film size. The 8700 Laser Imager
uses only 14” x 17” (35 x 43 cm) Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film (DryView film).
The 8500 Laser Imager also uses DryView film but accepts only 11 in. x 14 in.
(28 x 35 cm) film sheets.
Both film sizes are available in clear or blue base, packaged in 125-sheet Kodak
Instant Daylight Load Film Cartridges.
The 8700/8500 Laser Imagers are both available in three different configurations,
with two different remote keypads, described later in this manual.

How the 8700/8500 Laser Imager Works
The following sequence occurs each time the 8700/8500 Laser Imager receives a
print command. The circled numbers in Figure 1-2 correspond to the numbered
steps below. Dashed lines indicate the film path.
1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the supply
cartridge and feed it into the film transport rollers.
2. The film transport drives the film down into the exposure module.
3. The film is exposed by a laser beam and then fed back into the film transport.
4. The film transport drives the film up into the film developer.
5. As the film passes over the film developer drum, the heat generated by the drum
develops the film.
6. The film transport drives the film out of the film developer, through the
densitometer, and out to the receive tray. The densitometer is a key element in
the Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) process, which allows the
imager to automatically adjust image processing parameters to ensure optimum
image quality.

Local Panel and Keypad Message Types
The local panel and keypads display three types of messages.
Status
Status messages are strictly informational and require no operator action.
Note
The DryView 8700/8500 Laser Imager displays a local panel status message (P550)
when preventive maintenance and cleaning are recommended. Preventive
maintenance and cleaning ensure optimum imager performance. The P550
message will not interfere with normal operation. The intent is to let the operator
schedule a convenient time for preventive maintenance and cleaning by a certified
technician.
Action
Action messages indicate that operator action is required before imager operation
can continue. If an action message does not clear after performing the indicated
action, call for service.
Error
Error messages indicate an error condition within the imager. In some cases, error
messages can be cleared by operator action, but in most cases a service call will be
required.
Error message tables list error messages (for the DryView 8700/8500 Keypad) or
error message numbers (for the local panel and Kodak Keypad), along with the
operator action that may clear the error.

Technical Information
Description
Kodak DryView Laser Imaging (DryView Laser Imaging) film is a high-resolution,
infrared-sensitive, photothermographic film designed specifically for the family of
DryView Laser Imaging systems.
DryView Laser Imaging film delivers the same diagnostic image quality you get with
your current silver halide laser films – but it requires no “wet” chemistry, no “wet” film
processors, and no darkroom procedures. This means there is no need for special
plumbing, wet chemistry disposal procedures, or modifications to your facility.
DryView Laser Imaging film is packaged in daylight load packages and is available
in 14” x 17”, 11” x 14”, and 8” x 10” sizes. All sizes are available in blue or clear, 7 mil
polyester base.
Spectral Sensitivity
DryView Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to the
infrared laser diode of DryView Laser Imaging systems. When handled according to
instructions on the film package, safelights are not needed. It is not recommended,
but if you remove undeveloped film from the daylight load package, you will need a
darkroom setting and a green safelight, such as the Kodak IR 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 gray levels. Plus, because
it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to “wet”
chemistry.
Automatic Image Quality Control
DryView Laser Imaging film is system-matched for Kodak’s unique Automatic Image
Quality Control (AIQC) technology. This fully automated system, which is a standard
feature of DryView Laser Imaging systems, is designed to ensure that contrast,
density, and other image quality parameters meet preset user preferences,
film-to-film, lot-to-lot.
When using the Kodak DryView 8700/8500 Laser Imager, information on each film
cartridge will allow the system to automatically determine film type, the number of
sheets remaining, and the film manufacturing lot. The AIQC uses this information to
automatically calibrate the imager’s electronics and optimize image quality without
operator intervention.
The AIQC also reads a special density patch printed on each 14” x 17” or 11” x 14”
sheet of DryView Laser Imaging film as it passes through a built-in densitometer.
Slight density variations are corrected automatically.

Less Impact on the Environment
Disposal regulations and procedures for “wet” processing chemistry are
time-consuming and expensive. And even with the most exacting procedures, the
potential to discharge hazardous materials into the environment exists.
Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging film is not considered hazardous to the
environment. As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of films with less
impact on the environment than if you were using wet developed silver halide films.

Storage and Handling of Undeveloped Film
As with other laser imaging films, 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 also 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 Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control system (AIQC) encounters film that
has been damaged by improper handling, it will automatically alert system operators
before the film is developed.
Handling of Developed Film
Like other photographic films or data storage materials, the handling of DryView
Laser Imaging film requires reasonable care. Spills, humidity, and other moisture
typically have no significant effect on developed films. Prolonged exposure to
intense light or excessive heat (130°F/54.4°C for more than three hours) may cause
some gradual darkening of images. Leaving films in vehicles in hot climates for
extended periods of time is not recommended.
Under typical working conditions, DryView Laser Imaging film will maintain
diagnostic quality for over 30 years. 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),
we recommend removing them prior to eight hours of continuous exposure.
Care should be taken 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 Kodak DryView technology, a small amount of final development occurs when
the film exits the DryView 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.,
less than 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).
Technical Information
6-5
2001 March Rev. B 8599110
Archivability of 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.
Exposure to Moisture
While moisture can damage traditional wet processed silver halide films, DryView
Laser Imaging films typically withstand humidity, spills, and other forms of water
without any significant effect on image quality or film integrity. If needed, films can be
cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.
Odor Dissipation
The “wet” chemistry associated with the development of silver halide film creates
strong, unpleasant odors. By eliminating “wet” chemistry, Kodak DryView
technology eliminates virtually all of these 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 DryView Laser Imaging systems. 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 as specified in the DryView
Laser Imager User’s Manual. Unlike silver halide systems, DryView Laser Imagers
require no special venting.
Heat Dissipation
DryView Laser Imaging systems use a controlled amount of heat to develop
DryView Laser Imaging films. 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.
User Guide
6-6 8599110 2001 March Rev. B
Film Recycling
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, DryView Laser
Imaging film is not considered hazardous – so unlike typical “wet” films, it requires no
special disposal procedures. DryView Laser Imaging film does contain silver and
polyester that may be recovered by using one of several recycling processes.
If you are interested in recycling and silver recovery, Kodak can provide your local
recyclers with the information they need to get started. In some countries, Kodak has
established national contracts with recycling firms. Call your local Kodak sales
representative for more information about these contracts.
