• Excellent image quality due to high-quality lenses
• Operation in normal room illumination
• The exact time and date of the exposure recorded on the film with customizable date and time formats
• The serial number of the camera is recorded on the film by all models in all lens positions except the C-1N lens
position on the MODEL 4SL.
• Choice of both anterior-posterior (A-P) and posterior-anterior (P-A) imaging
• MODEL 4 records patient data on the upper corner of the film
• MODELS 4L and 4SL records patient data on the lower corner of the film
Environmental Requirements
The ID CAMERA will operate in the ambient room conditions normally encountered in an x-ray department:
• 15˚C to 30˚C (59˚F to 86˚F)
• 15% to 76% Relative Humidity
IDENTIFICATION CAMERA, MODELS 4, 4L, and 4SL (referred to as the ID CAMERA from
Cassettes
The ID CAMERA will function with the following CASSETTES:

Setting the Date and Time
Note
The date and timeformatsfor your country aresetby the installer at timeof installation. Changesto the date or time
formats require you to contact Kodak service.
[1] Check that the date and time are displayed correctly on the LCD PANEL on the ID CAMERA. See Figure 3.
[2] If necessary, change the date and time.
(a) Press the DENSITY INCREASE andDENSITY DECREASE BUTTONS at the same time. The values in
the DATE and TIME DISPLAYS will flash.
(b) Press the DATE BUTTONS to select the date you want. The DATE BUTTONS are programmed to the
date format for your country.
• For example, if your date format is month/day/year, the left BUTTON controls the month, the middle
BUTTON controls the day, and the right BUTTON controls the year.
• If your date format is day/month/year, the left BUTTON controls the day, the middle BUTTON controls
the month, and the right BUTTON controls the year.
• Ifyourdateformatisyear/month/day,the left BUTTON controls theyear,the middle BUTTON controls
the month, and the right BUTTON controls the day.
(c) Continue to press the appropriate DATE BUTTONS until thecorrect date is displayed on theLCD PANEL.
(d) PresstheTIME BUTTONStoselectthe time you want.TheTIMEBUTTONS areprogrammedto your time
format, either a 12- or 24-hour clock. In both the 12- and 24-hour time formats, the left TIME BUTTON
controls the hour, and the right TIME BUTTON controls the minutes.
(e) Continue to press the TIME BUTTONS until the correct time is displayed on the LCD PANEL.
(f) Press the DENSITY INCREASE BUTTON only, approximately 2 - 3 seconds, until the DATE and TIME
DISPLAYS stop flashing.
Note
• The DENSITY BUTTONS are deactuated while the DATE and TIME DISPLAYS are flashing.
• The time or date cannot be changed if a PATIENT ID CARD is in either the P-A or A-P CARD SLOT.
(g) Check that the density setting is correct. If necessary, change the density setting.
Clearing the Date and Time
To clear the date and time, or set the date and time to “0”, de-energize the CAMERA, press the DENSITY
DECREASE BUTTON, and then press the POWER BUTTON. This clears, or resets, the microprocessor.
Recording Patient Data
[1] Prepare a patient IDENTIFICATION CARD for a CASSETTE that has exposed but unprocessed x-ray film.
[2] See the following list and illustration for the specifications of the IDENTIFICATION CARD.
• Minimum size: 15.24 x 5.72 cm (6 x 21⁄4 in.)

Important
Do not move the CASSETTE during the exposure.
[5] Insert the CASSETTE fully into the SLOT above the BASE.
Note
The entire exposure cycle takes approximately 2 seconds. When you insert a CASSETTE correctly into the SLOT
above the BASE, the ID CAMERA automatically:
• Actuates a mechanical ARM to open the WINDOW in the CASSETTE.
• Illuminates a LAMP to record the identification data, time, date, serial number, and A-P/P-A data on the film.
