5800 Laser Imager
The KODAK DRYVIEW 5800 Laser Imager is a continuous-tone laser
imager with an internal photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather
than photo chemicals, is used to develop the film. The Imager receives
digital images from medical image source devices (modalities) over a
network. The format that the Imager accepts is DICOM.
The Laser Imager prints images on DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film.
Each film package contains 100 sheets of film. The Imager can accept
any type and size of film as described in Chapter 5 of this manual.
How the Laser Imager Works
The Imager is a network printer connected on a network along with one
or more medical imaging devices. It prints images sent over the network
from medical imaging devices or workstations sending images
concurrently.
January 14, 2008 2G0733 1-1
The Imager has 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 Imager can store images, it 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.
Overview

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.
System Components
1 Film supply. Your Imager is configured with two film supplies.
Each film supply holds a different size of DRYVIEW Laser
Imaging Film. Both film supplies must be installed in order for
the Imager to operate.
2 Film feed transport. The film feed transport orients and centers
the film while moving the film from the film supply to the imaging portion of the Imager.
3 Film imaging. The optics module writes the image onto the film
1-2 2G0733 January 14, 2008
while the film is moved through the exposure transport area.
4 Film processor. The film processor uses heat to develop the
image written onto the film by the laser in the optics module.
5 Local panel. The local panel contains the display screen.

Overview
When the Imager receives a print request, it determines the requested film
size and type and then it selects the appropriate film cartridge.
Each time the Imager receives a print request, the following print sequence
occurs:
1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the
supply cartridge and feed the film into the transport rollers.
2. The transport rollers move the film up into the registration transport
area, where film registration takes place.
3. The film registration transport then moves the film into the exposure
transport area.
4. As the film moves through the exposure transport, the optics module
January 14, 2008 2G0733 1-3
writes the image onto the film, then moves the film into the film
processor.
5. As the film passes over the processor drum, the heat generated by the
drum develops the film.
6. The film transport rollers move the exposed film to the exit area.
Overview
CAUTION:
LASER WARNING:
Automatic Image Quality Control
An internal densitometer is a key element in the Automatic Image Quality
Control (AIQC) process. The densitometer enables the Imager to
automatically adjust image processing parameters to produce the best image.
The Imager adjusts these parameters each time it prints a calibration film.
A calibration film is printed when:
• The film tray is inserted in the Imager with film of a new lot number.
• A calibration film is requested from the local panel or web portal.
• A film tray is inserted into the Imager for which a current calibration
is not stored.

2 Using and Maintaining the
Power switch
Imager
Operator Control of the Imager
During normal operation, the Imager receives and automatically prints
images sent by modalities over a network. Very little operator control is
required. The main responsibilities of the operator are:
Turning Imager Power ON and OFF
There is a power switch located at the back right of the Imager.
In the event of a power loss, the Imager shuts down. Films in process
will not be completed and will remain where they are located in the
Imager.
The Imager will restart after power is restored. After self-test, the
Imager clears any films in process and automatically reprints any films
that were in process when power was interrupted.

Calibration Prints Imager calibration is performed by printing a calibration print. A calibration
print has a step wedge pattern with a series of 26 stripes of increasing
optical density. The only purpose of a calibration print is to calibrate the
Imager. The Imager prints a calibration print when:
• A manual film calibration is requested.
• A film cartridge containing film with new sensitometric
characteristics (speed, contrast) is loaded.
• A film tray for which a current calibration is not stored is inserted into
the Imager.
You can discard all calibration prints.

Using and Maintaining the Imager
Running a Calibration Print
You may occasionally have to request that the Imager print a calibration
print to calibrate the Imager. You may be asked to do this if you call for
service. You should also run a calibration print if a "Not Calibrated" status
message appears on the Web Portal Home screen, or if a calibration error
code (2x-624, 2x-631, or 2x-632) appears on the display screen.
To request a calibration print from the local panel, press the calibration
button for the applicable film tray (see “Local Panel Layout”).
To request a calibration print from the Web Portal:
1. Access the Web Portal (see “Accessing the Web Portal”).
2. Click Calibrate, for the applicable film supply.
Calibration Failure Occasionally, the Imager may fail calibration and will notify the operator
with an error code on the display screen and a code and message on the Web
Portal. The most common cause is a film related problem. Depending on the
cause, the Imager may be able to continue operating, but would display the
"manual mode" icon.
Requesting a Density Test
The Imager can print an internally generated density test print with a
SMPTE pattern. Density test prints are often used as a quality assurance tool
to verify the uniformity of films printed by the Imager.
To request a density test print:
1. Access the Web Portal (see “Accessing the Web Portal”).
2. Select Diagnostics>Test Print.
3. For "Select Test", use the drop-down menu to select Density Test.
4. Enter an optional label to be printed on the test film.
