Overview
6800 Laser Imager
The Kodak DryView 6800 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 Laser Imager prints images on
Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film which is packed in 125-sheet cartridges.
You can load three cartridges into the Laser Imager simultaneously.

Overview
1 Film drawers. Your Imager may be configured for one, two, or three
film drawers. Each film drawer can hold any of six different sizes of
DryView Laser Imaging Film. You can select the film cartridge in any
drawer for printing.
2 Film registration. The film registration orients and centers the film
while moving the film from the film drawers to the imaging portion of
the Imager.
3 Film imaging. The optics module scans the image onto the film while
the film is moved through the exposure transport.
4 Film processor. The film processor uses heat to develop the image
exposed onto the film by the laser in the optics module.
5 Densitometer. The densitometer receives the film after it passes
through the processor and performs a density check to confirm image
quality.
6 Film sorter. Your Imager may be configured without a sorter. The
film sorter receives the processed film and transports the film to the
selected film bin on top of the Laser Imager. The first bin holds 125
sheets of film. Each of the other four bins holds 30 sheets of film.
7 Local panel. The local panel contains the power button used to turn
power ON/OFF for the Imager during normal operations. It also
contains the touch screen.
8 Touch screen. The touch screen is your interface to the Laser
Imager. The screen accepts your commands and gives you status
information about Imager functions.

How the Laser Imager Works
When the Laser Imager receives a print request, it determines the requested
film size then selects the appropriate film cartridge.
Each time the Imager receives a print request, the following print sequence
occurs.

Print Sequence
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 down into the registration transport
area, where film registration takes place.

Specifications
3. The film registration transport then moves the film into the exposure
transport.
4. As the film moves through the exposure transport, the optics module
scans 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 through the
densitometer to the sorter and out to one of the bins.
Prints up to 160 films per hour.

Using and Maintaining the Imager
Operator Control of the Imager
During normal operation, the 6800 Laser 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.
• loading film cartridges.
• taking recommended actions when preventive maintenance (PM) is
indicated on the touch screen.
• monitoring and controlling some Imager functions using the touch
screen.
Turning Imager Power ON and OFF
Power button
Power switch
There is a power switch and a power button on the 6800 Laser Imager. The
switch should only be used the first time the Imager is powered ON or when
an immediate shutdown is required. For normal operations, use the power
button.
August 16, 2006 8F2927 2-1
Using and Maintaining the Imager
Power ON If this is the first time the Imager has been powered ON, set the power switch
to the "|" position. Otherwise, press the power button on the local panel. The
Imager performs a power -up self test that takes about 5 minutes. After the self
test, there are some initial boot-up screens before the local panel Main
Screen appears.
After the power-up test, the Imager begins a warm-up period that lasts up to
35 minutes. The warm-up period varies depending on how long the Imager
has been turned OFF. During warm-up, the Imager can receive and store
images, but cannot print films. When the Imager reaches operating
temperature, it starts printing any images accumulated during the warm-up
period.
During warm-up, you can use the touch screen to check the contents of the
film drawers and to open the film drawers to load new film cartridges if
necessary.
Normal Power OFF IMPORTANT: The local panel should be used to turn off power to the
imager, except in an emergency. Using the main power
switch could cause the imager to shutdown incorrectly and
possibly cause some corruption of the operating system.
Turn the Imager OFF if you do not expect to use it for an extended period of
time.
1. On the local panel, press the power button.
2. On the touch screen, touch:
• Power OFF
• OK
The Imager will perform a controlled shutdown.
Emergency Power OFF If an emergency arises that requires the immediate shutdown of the Imager,
press the power switch located at the lower right front of the Imager. The
Imager will be shut down. Films in process will not be completed and will
remain where they are until power is restored.
To restart the Imager turn ON the power switch. After warming up, the Imager
automatically reprints any films that were in process when power was
interrupted.
Power Failures In the event of a power loss, the 6800 Laser Imager shuts down. Films in
process will not be completed and will remain where they are until power is
restored.
To restart the Imager after power is restored, turn OFF the power switch on
the Imager and then turn it ON. After warming up, the Imager automatically
reprints any films that were in process when power was interrupted.

Using and Maintaining the Imager
Power Save The Imager has a Power Save option, which lets you reduce the power
consumption of the Imager during periods of inactivity. To learn more about
the Power Save option, see the general help information on the touch screen
(see “General Help” on page 2-5).
