Loading/Unloading the Film Tray

Note
Leave the DryView 8600 Laser Imager on while loading or unloading the film
tray. If you remove power from the imager while the system is in use, any
previously acquired images stored in memory will be lost.
1. When 100 sheets of Kodak DryView Mammography Laser Imaging Film have
been used, the tray unlocks automatically, and instructions for tray removal are
displayed on the local panel. (See Figure 3-5.)
2. Swing open the handle of the film tray.
3. Important: Remove the old film insert and any unused "liner" sheet of film from
the tray and dispose of them per local disposal regulations. (The liner sheet
contains a trace of silver.)
Note
Before loading a new package of film, clean the inside surface of the film tray,
including the ramp and top edge of the tray. Use an alcohol soaked pad such
as TexPad TX801.
4. Press the film package down in the tray as follows: Press the film package to the
left, against the soft guide, with the black plastic bag tail lapping through the
handle, and the label up. Press down firmly using both hands so the film
package sits flat against the bottom of the tray.
5. Swing the handle of the film tray back in place.
6. Remove the tear strip from the black plastic bag.
7. Slide the tray back into the imager slot.
8. To remove the black plastic bag so the imager can access the Kodak DryView
Mammography Laser Imaging Film, pull the black plastic bag tail firmly and
smoothly. The entire film bag should slide out.
9. Dispose of the black plastic bag.
10. To continue processing images, press
3-8
on the local panel.
