Overview

January 14, 2008

The KODAK DRYVIEW 5800 Laser Imager is a continuous-tone laser

imager with an internal photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather

than photo chemicals, is used to develop the film. The Imager receives

digital images from medical image source devices (modalities) over a

network. The format that the Imager accepts is DICOM.

The Laser Imager prints images on DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film.

Each film package contains 100 sheets of film. The Imager can accept

any type and size of film as described in Chapter 5 of this manual.

The Imager is a network printer connected on a network along with one

or more medical imaging devices. It prints images sent over the network

from medical imaging devices or workstations sending images

concurrently.

5800 Laser Imager

The Imager has hard-disk storage for a large number of digital images.

As images arrive, they are stored on the hard disk and placed in a print

queue (sequenced for printing) based on time of receipt and priority.

Because the Imager can store images, it can continue to accept

incoming print jobs even when the film cartridge is empty or the Imager

is temporarily unable to print. Images that require a different film size

or film type than is currently in the Imager are placed in a separate

"waiting for media" queue and a code on the Local Panel reminds the

operator to change film.
