To move a field (i.e. give it another position on the picture printed on the film) press the
PLACE soft-key. This will bring up another window where the selected field is displayed
as a white box representing the size of the field, and all other fields are displayed as
other strings of characters selected to represent the type of the field (D for date field N for
name field). The current field can now be moved by the four arrow keys. If shift+arrow
key is pressed the field will step 6 pixels left/right and 8 pixels up/down. When a good
position is found just press the enter key to leave the window. Experience has shown that
this is a good method of finding out where to place the field. It is, however, difficult to find
the exact position, as the fields are often placed one or two pixels off. Therefore, the
optimal procedure is to place all fields using this method, and then to check all positions
manually and correct them by entering their positions by numbers as described below
under "Editing a field".

tells what kind of information is displayed in this field. The following types are
available.
Name - The name of the patient. The user may enter any information. This
field must not be empty.
PID - The PID number of the patient. When entering the PID number, only
the format that is used in the country for which the camera is configured is
allowed. Also the check-digit is checked, and the user is forced to either
correct the PID number or explicitly tell that the number is not valid by
pressing the Shift-F1 key.
Number - An integer. Allows only numeric characters to entered.
Text - Any text in any format.
AP/PA - Anterior or Posterior. This tells, whether the X-ray picture is taken
with the X-ray tube in front or behind the patient. Apart from displaying it in
the film, the information is used by the KODAK Network ID Camera to mirror
the picture when the picture is taken PA.
Menu - A menu allows the user a selection from a number of predefined
text strings. Five different menues can be defined, and each of them can
have 16 alternatives. In this window you only have to chose which of the five
menues you will use. When you leave the type field (press enter) a new field
will appear in the window, called menu. Here the number of the menu to use
can be entered.
