1 Touch screen local panel. The local panel is the interface
between the user and the laser imager. The panel accepts
commands from the user and provides status information to the
user about imager functions.
2 Film drawers. Each of the three film drawers can hold any of five
different sizes of DryView film. You can select the film cartridge in
any drawer for printing.

How the Laser Imager
Works When the laser imager receives a print request and image data from the
modality (image capturing device), the system determines the requested
film size from the information included with the image data. The system
then selects the appropriate film cartridge.
Each time a print request occurs by a modality, the following print
sequence occurs.
1. Suction cups in the pickup areas lift a single sheet of film out of the
supply cartridge and feed the film into the vertical transport rollers.
2. The vertical transport rollers move the film down to the film platen
(exposure area).
3. The platen rollers move the film into the film platen.
4. The platen holds the film in a stationary position while the scanner
writes the image onto the film.
5. The platen rollers move the film into the vertical transport rollers,
3Film transport. The film transport moves the film through the
laser imager from the film cartridge to the film platen, then to the
film processor and to the film sorter.
4Film platen. The film platen positions the film and holds the film
stationary for imaging.
5Optics module. The optics module writes (exposes) the image
onto the film while the film is positioned on the film platen.
6 Film processor. The film processor uses heat to develop the
image exposed onto the film by the laser in the optics module.
7 Densitometer. The densitometer receives the film after it passes
through the processor and performs a density check to confirm
image quality. The densitometer is the key component of the
Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) system.
8AIQC. The AIQC system ensures that contrast, density, and other
image-quality parameters meet preset user preferences.
9 Film sorter. The film sorter receives the processed film after the
film passes through the densitometer and transports the film to the
selected film bin on top of the laser imager. The bottom bin holds
125 sheets of film. Each of the top five bins holds 30 sheets of film.

which move the film up into the film processor.
6. As the film passes over the processor drum, the heat generated by the
drum develops the film.
7. The film transport rollers move the exposed film through the
densitometer and out to one of the six bins.

Operation and Maintenance
System Power Up and Power Down
Power Up To power up the laser imager, push and hold the power switch to the ON
position for about 2 seconds.
The power up process takes approximately 3 minutes. After power up, the
laser imager begins accepting and queueing print jobs. At this point, you
can determine cartridge status and load new cartridges if necessary.
Film will not begin processing until the laser imager is completely warmed
up (approximately 45 minutes).
Power Switch (press for two seconds)

Shut Down To shut down the laser imager:
1. Touch the Power icon on the local panel.
2. Touch the Shut Down button.
NOTE: If the laser imager is not expected to be used for an extended
period of time (three days or longer), shut down the laser imager.
Levels of Operation The laser imager has four levels of operation:
NOTE: The reprint capability of the laser imager enables Levels 2, 3, and
4 users to command reprinting of images that may contain
patient-identifiable data. Therefore, operation of the system by
users at these levels is controlled by a login procedure that can
assist users in meeting requirements to control access to such
information.
Level 1 Operator Activities include printing, clearing of some errors,
and removing film jams.
Operation and Maintenance
June 12, 2003 5E6155 3-3
Power Failures In the event of a power loss, the laser imager shuts down. To restore power,
push and hold the power switch to the ON position for about 2 seconds.
Level 2 Operator
(Key Operator) Activities include printing, clearing of some errors,
and removing film jams. Also perform minor setup,
deleting, and reprinting jobs. Access to Level 2
requires a Key Operator ID and passcode. Refer to
“Key Operator Information” on page 3-22 for Key
Operator information.
Level 3 First Call First Call providers are Kodak-trained and certified
self-maintenance customers. Level 3 First Call
provides access to all Level 1 and 2 features and
functions. Activities include Preventive
Maintenance with the ability to reset some of the
parameters. Access to Level 3 requires a Level 3 ID
and passcode.
Level 4 Full
Service Full Service providers are Kodak Health Imaging
Field Engineers and Kodak Technical Support staff.
Level 4 Full Service requires licensing for a
specified time interval. Full Service providers have
access to all Level 1, 2, and 3 service features. The
providers can also access the laser imager through
a service computer or through a remote computer
connected to the network. Access to Level 4
requires a Service ID and passcode.
