Kodak DryView 8300 Service Bulletins page 49

The parameter Film Count Enable allows you to enable or disable the counting of films fed from the
film tray. Film for the 8600 is packaged with 101 sheets per pack. When Film Count is enabled, the
8600 will instruct the operator to load a new pack of film, even though one film may be left in the tray.
The purpose is to keep that last sheet, which is suspected of carrying large amounts of debris, from
being fed through the imager. Debris that is introduced into the imager is responsible for image
artifacts, which are unacceptable in mammography applications. Preventive Maintenance (PM) for the
8600 is also more involved and critical than it is in the 8300. See the PM procedure in Section 5,
Additional Information section.
Since the 9410 converts the DICOM images to 952 host protocol and sends them to the 8600, the
following "interface" Installation menu items need to be set in the 8600 to allow communication
between the two. These values are significant for communication only between the 9410 and the
8600. They will always be the same, regardless of which OEM modality is sending images to the
9410.
