Overview
How the Laser Imagers Work
1-2
The Imagers are network printers connected on a network along with one or
more medical imaging devices. They print images sent over the network
from medical imaging devices or workstations sending images concurrently.
5800 or 5850 Laser Imager
The Imagers have 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
Imagers can store images, they 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.
During normal operation, the Imager requires very little operator attention.
The Imager prints automatically in response to print requests from the
associated image devices. Information sent along with print requests, such
as film size, density and priority, control the print operations. Main operator
responsibilities include loading film and monitoring for malfunctions.
