Introduction

Introducing the Kodak DryView 8700 and 8500 Laser Imagers

The Kodak DryView 8700 Laser Imager (8700 Laser Imager) and the Kodak DryView 8500 Laser Imager (8500 Laser Imager) are continuous–tone laser

imagers with an integrated photothermographic film developer. The two imagers are nearly identical except for film size. The 8700 Laser Imager

uses only 14” x 17” (35 x 43 cm) Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film (DryView film). The 8500 Laser Imager also uses DryView film but accepts only 11 in. x 14 in. (28 x 35 cm) film sheets.

Both film sizes are available in clear or blue base, packaged in 125-sheet Kodak Instant Daylight Load Film Cartridges.

The 8700/8500 Laser Imagers are both available in three different configurations, with two different remote keypads, described later in this manual.

How the 8700/8500 Laser Imager Works

The following sequence occurs each time the 8700/8500 Laser Imager receives a print command. The circled numbers in Figure 1-2 correspond to the numbered steps below. Dashed lines indicate the film path.

1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the supply cartridge and feed it into the film transport rollers.

2. The film transport drives the film down into the exposure module.

3. The film is exposed by a laser beam and then fed back into the film transport.

4. The film transport drives the film up into the film developer.

5. As the film passes over the film developer drum, the heat generated by the drum develops the film.

6. The film transport drives the film out of the film developer, through the densitometer, and out to the receive tray. The densitometer is a key element in the Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) process, which allows the imager to automatically adjust image processing parameters to ensure optimum image quality.

Local Panel and Keypad Message Types

The local panel and keypads display three types of messages.

Status

Status messages are strictly informational and require no operator action.

Note

The DryView 8700/8500 Laser Imager displays a local panel status message (P550) when preventive maintenance and cleaning are recommended. Preventive maintenance and cleaning ensure optimum imager performance. The P550 message will not interfere with normal operation. The intent is to let the operator schedule a convenient time for preventive maintenance and cleaning by a certified technician.

Action

Action messages indicate that operator action is required before imager operation can continue. If an action message does not clear after performing the indicated action, call for service.

Error

Error messages indicate an error condition within the imager. In some cases, error messages can be cleared by operator action, but in most cases a service call will be required.

Error message tables list error messages (for the DryView 8700/8500 Keypad) or error message numbers (for the local panel and Kodak Keypad), along with the operator action that may clear the error.

T echnical Information

Technical Information

Description

Kodak DryView Laser Imaging (DryView Laser Imaging) film is a high-resolution,

infrared-sensitive, photothermographic film designed specifically for the family of

DryView Laser Imaging systems. DryView Laser Imaging film delivers the same diagnostic image quality you get with

your current silver halide laser films – but it requires no “wet” chemistry, no “wet” film processors, and no darkroom procedures. This means there is no need for special plumbing, wet chemistry disposal procedures, or modifications to your facility. DryView Laser Imaging film is packaged in daylight load packages and is available in 14” x 17”, 11” x 14”, and 8” x 10” sizes. All sizes are available in blue or clear, 7 mil polyester base.

Spectral Sensitivity

DryView Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to the

infrared laser diode of DryView Laser Imaging systems. When handled according to instructions on the film package, safelights are not needed. It is not recommended, but if you remove undeveloped film from the daylight load package, you will need a darkroom setting and a green safelight, such as the Kodak IR Safelight.

Image Quality

DryView Laser Imaging film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone images

along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This high-quality silver-based film provides radiologists with the same diagnostic information they are accustomed to viewing – including the spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels. Plus, because it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to “wet” chemistry.

Automatic Image Quality Control

DryView Laser Imaging film is system-matched for Kodak’s unique Automatic Image

Quality Control (AIQC) technology. This fully automated system, which is a standard feature of DryView Laser Imaging systems, is designed to ensure that contrast, density, and other image quality parameters meet preset user preferences, film-to-film, lot-to-lot.

When using the Kodak DryView 8700/8500 Laser Imager, information on each film cartridge will allow the system to automatically determine film type, the number of sheets remaining, and the film manufacturing lot. The AIQC uses this information to automatically calibrate the imager’s electronics and optimize image quality without operator intervention.

The AIQC also reads a special density patch printed on each 14” x 17” or 11” x 14” sheet of DryView Laser Imaging film as it passes through a built-in densitometer. Slight density variations are corrected automatically.

Less Impact on the Environment

Disposal regulations and procedures for “wet” processing chemistry are time-consuming and expensive. And even with the most exacting procedures, the potential to discharge hazardous materials into the environment exists.

Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging film is not considered hazardous to the environment. As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of films with less impact on the environment than if you were using wet developed silver halide films.

Storage and Handling of Undeveloped Film

As with other laser imaging films, to achieve consistent results up to the expiration date indicated on the film

77°F 41°F

25°C

5°C

package, DryView Laser Imaging film must be stored in a cool, dry place (41°F/5°C to 77°F/25°C) and protected from radiation and chemistry fumes.

TEMP

The film can also withstand short-term temperature spikes (up to 95°F/35°C for several hours) during transit without any significant effect on film quality or performance. Transit temperatures above 95°F/35°C will gradually diminish shelf life. If the Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control system (AIQC) encounters film that has been damaged by improper handling, it will automatically alert system operators before the film is developed.

Handling of Developed Film

Like other photographic films or data storage materials, the handling of DryView Laser Imaging film requires reasonable care. Spills, humidity, and other moisture typically have no significant effect on developed films. Prolonged exposure to intense light or excessive heat (130°F/54.4°C for more than three hours) may cause some gradual darkening of images. Leaving films in vehicles in hot climates for extended periods of time is not recommended.

Under typical working conditions, DryView Laser Imaging film will maintain diagnostic quality for over 30 years. For best results, store film in sleeves when not being reviewed. DryView Laser Imaging film can be left on a light box for more than 24 hours; in extreme cases in which light boxes are exceptionally hot (120°F/49°C), we recommend removing them prior to eight hours of continuous exposure.

Care should be taken when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds, because temperatures near the light source may exceed 180°F/82.2°C. Use in slide projectors is not recommended due to the high temperatures generally found in these devices.

With Kodak DryView technology, a small amount of final development occurs when the film exits the DryView Laser Imager and is initially exposed to ambient or view box lighting. This is virtually undetectable and has no effect on image quality (i.e., less than 0.02 change in density). This small density increase is uniform and permanent upon full exposure of the film under normal handling conditions (i.e., room light or view box).

T echnical Information

Archivability of Developed Film

DryView Laser Imaging film has been tested and can be archived for more than 100

years when stored at American National standards Institute (ANSI) recommended storage conditions (77°F/25°C). Developed films may be stored at higher temperatures, however, that may reduce the number of years the film can be stored. For example, storing films at a constant elevated temperature of 90°F/32.2°C may reduce archive capability to 30 years.

Exposure to Moisture

While moisture can damage traditional wet processed silver halide films, DryView Laser Imaging films typically withstand humidity, spills, and other forms of water without any significant effect on image quality or film integrity. If needed, films can be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.

Odor Dissipation

The “wet” chemistry associated with the development of silver halide film creates strong, unpleasant odors. By eliminating “wet” chemistry, Kodak DryView technology eliminates virtually all of these odors. While some low-level odors are produced during the development process, they pose no known adverse health risks. Processing odor levels are further reduced by a non-hazardous, recyclable filter in DryView Laser Imaging systems. This filter traps most low-level odors and prevents them from dissipating into the work environment. To help maintain optimum performance, the filter requires periodic replacement as specified in the DryView Laser Imager User’s Manual. Unlike silver halide systems, DryView Laser Imagers require no special venting.

Heat Dissipation

DryView Laser Imaging systems use a controlled amount of heat to develop DryView Laser Imaging films. The heat has virtually no effect on the air temperature

of the work area. The amount of heat dissipated into an area during a day is typically less than the heat generated by four 100-watt light bulbs.

Film Recycling

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, DryView Laser Imaging film is not considered hazardous – so unlike typical “wet” films, it requires no special disposal procedures. DryView Laser Imaging film does contain silver and polyester that may be recovered by using one of several recycling processes.

If you are interested in recycling and silver recovery, Kodak can provide your local recyclers with the information they need to get started. In some countries, Kodak has established national contracts with recycling firms. Call your local Kodak sales representative for more information about these contracts.
