The KODAK EKTASCAN 160 Laser Imager (Laser Imager) is a
high quality di gital laser image r intended for diagnost ic hardcopy
applications. The Laser Imager can be used as a stand-alone
unit (as illustrated above) or with direct docking to a KODAK XOMAT 2000 Processor. The Laser Ima ger use s EIR- 23 (blu ebase) IR film in roomlight loadable 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.) cartridges. The dig ital image d ata for the Las er Imager are prov ided
by a dedicated network connection to the KODAK PACS Link
Medical Image Manager (MIM).

The diagram above illustrates the stand-alone Laser
Imager in a Single Input configuration. In the Single Input
configuration only one Imaging Device is connected to the
KODAK PACS Link Medical Image Manager (MIM). Using
either an internal digital or video interface the MIM
acquires medical images from the Imaging Device.
The MIM formats the input signal (digitizes the video
input, for example) and transfers the data over a
100BaseT Ethernet Network. The operator sends printing
commands to the Laser Imager from the MIM keypad, or
if autofilming is supported, from the Imaging Device.

DICOM medical images directly from the Imaging Device
over the network or directly connected through a medical
Imaging Device.
2-4 5E2234 June 2000
In the Multiple Input configuration, up to 2 Imaging
Devices and a DICOM Network can be connected to a single MIM. Using an internal video or digital interface, the
MIM formats the input signal (digitizes the video input signal, for example) and transfers the data over a dedicated
100BaseT Ethernet network.
Remote service access may be provided through a
modem in any MIM on the network.

IMPORTANT: To avoid poor image quality, do
not send images to the Laser Imager until the
Processor has warmed up. The Processor takes
approximately 30 minutes to warm up.
1. Turn on the Processor. Wait approximately 30 min-
utes for the Processor to warm up.
2. Turn on the Laser Imager.
NOTE: The Laser Imager, as a stand-alone unit,
takes le ss than 10 minu tes to initia lize. When the

Calibration
Introduction
Calibration is the method of ensuring consistent image
appearance by compensating for variations in laser
power, differences between film emulsions and other
process variables .
IMPORTANT: When the Laser Imager is docked
to a 2000 Processor, separate calibration is
required for the docked 2000 Processor and the
Receive Magazine.
You will do the following during calibration:
1. If the 2000 Processor is docked to the Laser Imager,
2. Print and process the calibration film.
3. Read the densities of the film and enter the density
4. Compute the Calibration.

When to Calibrate
For optimum image quality, the Laser Imager should be
re-calibrated whenever there is any change in the following conditions:

Overview
This chapter will provide suggestions for what to do if
problems arise. After an overview of the path that the film
takes through the Laser Imager, this chapter will give you
guidance for clearing film jams.
In order to clear f ilm jams, you must ope n the Film D oor of
the Laser Imager.
Before opening the Film Door, read the Safety Information
that is provided at the beginning of this User Guide and
note the location of the laser beam in the Laser Imager.

Clearing a Film Jam in the Laser Imager
If a film jam occurs during normal operation, the Laser
Imager will stop printing. An Error Message will be displayed on the Control Panel. Follow the instructions on

5. Check the film path to locate the jam.
6. Carefully remove the film and check that all the films
are removed from the Laser Imager.
7. Empty all the film from the Receive Magazine before
inserting the empty Magazine into the Laser Imager.
This will ensure a correct film count in the Receive
