1 General Information on "Printer Definition Files" (P.D.F.)

Via the "printer definition files" non AGFA DICOM printers can be integrated into an ADC
System. Each “printer definition file” contains information about one certain printer type and
model. Parameters maybe supported film sizes, used media type or pixels per millimeter. The
evaluation and release of these files is done by headquarter people. Thus, no manipulation of
that files should be necessary in the field.

The printer definition files will be distributed independently from VIPS / CCM software
releases in the future. They will be distributed when new connectivity to printers has been
released (normally on a floppy with a version number (current version:PRN.A.3.0.02) or via
MedNet. (MedNet path: Computed Radiology / ADC System Components / CSO Freeware /
Printer Definition Files PRN.A.3.0.02) The current version of that “printer definition files” will be
included in the upgrade package for the VIPS.1.2.00.

From VIPS.1.1.09 and CCM.1.1.05 on, there is a possibility provided to download the newly
released “printer definition files”. Please note that the current version PRN.A.3.0.02 of the
"printer definition files" is not integrated as default in the printer list of CCM 1.1.06. It still has to
be downloaded to the CCM.1.1.06. The procedure is described below.

The "printer definition files" have already been introduced with VIPS 1.1.05 to send to non
AGFA DICOM Printers and increase the number of print layouts for the SmartPrint option.
However, we did not yet have the flexibility there to update the “known printer” database in the
CCM and VIPS software respectively, without upgrading the software. This is now possible in
an easy manner.

2 Description of the Printer Definition Floppy

The release of P.D.F. is managed by Integration Engineering, whereas the distribution is done
by HE GSO. Each set of P.D.F release has a version encoded as
The contents is:

· Multiple PRINTER-ID.txt printer definition files for VIPS, containing date and
version for IE version management

· PRINTERS.prd listing file for VIPS Maintenance menu procedures. This file contains
for each printer definition file on the floppy a line with these fields:

# printer file comment

PRINTER-ID PRINTER-ID.txt Free text

· Printers.mdb file for CCM tool, containing tables for printers and film sizes,
containing the version PRN.X.n.n.nn and date

· VERSION file, containing version PRN.X.n.n.nn and date
