1.6 Precautions for Storing or Handling the DI-HL, DI-HLc, and
DI-ML Films for the Fuji Medical Dry Laser Imager

1.6.1 Precautions for Storing or Handling Unused Films

1 Use only the "Fuji Medical Dry Laser Imager Film DI-HL, DI-HLc, or DI-ML" that is
compatible with this equipment. If a film other than DI-HL, DI-HLc, or DI-ML is used, a
malfunction may be caused to the equipment.
2 Be sure to store unused films contained in the film pack in a cool, dry and dark place of
low temperature and low humidity (temperature: 10 to 23°C, relative humidity:
45±15%), avoiding radioactivity and reactive gases, same as for the conventional wet-
type film.
3 The DI-HL, DI-HLc, or DI-ML films are light-sensitive. Do not open a film pack before it is
loaded properly in the equipment.
4 Do not touch unused films with bare hands, otherwise adverse effects can appear on
recorded images.
5 Do not take unused films out of the film pack that has once been loaded into the
equipment and opened or add films to the film pack loaded, which will result in
misoperation or failure of the equipment.
6
The film pack contains a protective sheet that is a film, in addition to specified number of
recording films. This protective sheet will remain in the film pack even after those
recording films have been printed and it cannot be used for image recording. Discard it
together with unused films.
7
Because this system allows film loading in illuminated room, the film pack can be loaded
under the illuminated environment. For how to load the film pack in the machine, see
page 3-7 in this manual, or refer to the operation panel display.

1.6.2 Precautions for Storing or Handling Recorded Films

1 Store recorded films in a cool, dry and dark place of low temperature and low humidity.
The higher the temperature and humidity, the more the density of recorded images will
increase. Long-term storage at high temperature, high humidity and/or daylight
conditions, such as in car or in room during summer, may cause discoloration. Using
films in the slide projector or in the overhead projector will also cause discoloration.
2 For the long-term storage performance of recorded films, we assume based on the result
of the acceleration test that it will be over 30 years at the storage temperature of 25°C
and over 25 years at 30°C, until the portion on an image of density (D) = 1.2 at time of
output to change 10% (∆D=0.12).

1.6.3 Other

1 After an image has been recorded, the film immediately after it was ejected from the
machine is still in the process of image development and the room illumination or light
emanating from the viewing box will cause slight changes in the optical density. Due to
such optical effect, traces of overlapped films or transferred images can be visually
recognized temporarily, which will disappear when those films are left under the normal
light condition.
2 Note that lucid surfaces of recorded films can be lost or traces of contact with any
chemicals that contain water, alcohol, developer, etc., and with other objects that contain
a large amount of salt may appear on images, if they are handled under high-humidity
environment or due to such undesirable contacts.
3 Do not store films with its image recording faces attached with each other.
