PLEASE NOTEThe information contained herein is based on the experience and knowledge relating to the
subject matter gained by Eastman Kodak Company prior to publication.
No patent license is granted by this information.
Eastman Kodak Company reserves the right to change this information without notice, and
makes no warranty, express or implied, with respect to this information. Kodak shall not be liable
for any loss or damage, including consequential or special damages, resulting from any use of
this information, even if loss or damage is caused by Kodak’s negligence or other fault.
This equipment includes parts and assemblies sensitive to damage from electrostatic
discharge. Use caution to prevent damage during all service procedures.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a primary source of
• product downtime
• lost productivity
• costly repairs
While you cannot feel a static charge of less than 3,500 volts, as few as 30 volts can damage or destroy
essential components in electronic equipment.
Preventive Measures
• Always look for an ESD warning label before doing any procedure involving static-sensitive
components such as CIRCUIT BOARDS. All static-sensitive components are marked with bright
graphic labels, which frequently include instructions. Follow all label instructions.
• Wear a grounding strap whenhandling static-sensitive components. Alwaysmake certain that the
clip remains attached to a properly grounded, unpainted, clean surface.
• Repair static-sensitive components at an ESD-protected work station or use a portable grounding
mat. For help in setting up an ESD-protected work station, contact your Kodak representative
• When you move static-sensitive components from one area to another, insert and transport the
components in ESD-protective packaging.

Description
The
Kodak X-Omatic
CAMERA), records patient identification data onto x-ray film in lighttight cassettes.
The camera provides:
• Dual lenses for use with C-1 and C-1N windows for MODELS 4 and 4L
• Excellent image quality with high-quality lenses
• Operation in normal room illumination
• The exact time anddate of the exposurerecorded on the film witha variety of customizeddate and time formats
available
• The serial number of the camera is recorded on the film for all models and lens positions except the C-1N lens
position in the MODEL 4L.
• Choice of both anterior-posterior and posterior-anterior imaging
• MODEL 4 records patient data on the upper corner of the film
• MODELS 4L and 4SL record patient data on the lower corner of the film
When you insert a CASSETTE correctly into the SLOT above the BASE, and a patient ID CARD is in either the PA or A-P SLOT, the camera automatically:
[1] Actuates a mechanical ARM to open a WINDOW in the CASSETTE.
[2] Illuminates the LAMP to record the identification data, time, and date on the film.
[3] Closes the WINDOW in the CASSETTE.
This entire operation takes approximately 2 seconds.

Section 5: Performing the Density Step Test Procedure
Density Step Test Procedure
The purpose of the Density Step Test Procedure is to choose the preferred density exposure for the customer. It is
important that the customer be involved in this procedure.
This is a good opportunity for you to instruct the customer in the operation of the ID CAMERA. As you perform the
StepTest, allow the customer to help prepare CASSETTES and ID CARDS, and to make a few of the test exposures.
Afterward, give the Operator Manual to the customer and answer any questions.
[1] Prepare 10 ID CARDS bynumbering each from 1 to 10. Prepare 10 CASSETTES by loading with unexposed
film. Use the smallest CASSETTE available.
[2] Exposeeach CASSETTE to an increasing density,making sure to changethe ID CARD foreach exposure. Use
the ID CARD marked “1” for DENSITY SETTING 1, and use the ID CARD marked “2” for DENSITY SETTING
2, and so on. Make the exposures with the CASSETTES used most often.
[3] Process the film. Choose the best exposure. Check the density with a densitometer if one is available. The
background density from a bright white card should be 1.2. Record the preferred exposure for the customer.
Note
If you cannot get satisfactory results, see the Service Manual section “Adjusting Potentiometers” for instructions on
adjusting the LAMP POTENTIOMETERS.
