The DRYPRO SIGMA Laser Imager prints on KONICA MINOLTA Medical Imaging Film.
Intended Use
The DRYPRO SIGMA Laser Imaging System is intended to provide hard copy images
from digital imaging source output signals onto KONICA MINOLTA MEDICAL IMAGING
FILM SD-S. The device is intended for use with a variety of digital modalities,
including, but not limited to, CR (Computed Radiology), DR (Digital Radiology), CT
(Computerized Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The images
are to be used for medical diagnosis and referral to physicians and their patients.
This device is not intended to be used with Full Field Digital Mammography units or
Computed Radiography units supporting digital mammography.
Getting Started
Your laser imager comes with several publications to help you get started quickly and
safely. Locate the following publications:

1Overview
How the Imager Works ................................................................................................................. 1-4
The Laser Imaging System is a continuous-tone laser imager with an internal
photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather than photo chemicals, is used to
develop the film. This easy-to-use and reliable imager provides high quality prints. Use
the prints from this system for:
•Diagnostic purposes to determine patient treatments
•Referral, sharing, or educational purposes
The system receives and prints from image sources such as medical electrical equipment
(modalities) and workstations over the network. You can send print jobs simultaneously
from multiple image sources. The open design lets you connect to modalities of all types
and vendors.
Install the printing system in a secure location to protect patient privacy rights if required by local
regulations.

12Optics module. Writes the image onto the film while the film is moved through the

complete, the film is sent from the accumulator up to the processor assembly where the
heat is applied to process the image.

Overview
How the Imager Works
The imager receives, processes, manages, and prints the images on film. The imager has
limited storage to hold a small number of digital images. As images are received for
printing, they are stored in memory, placed in a sequential print queue, and are printed
in order. The imager can continue to accept incoming print jobs even if temporarily
unable to print (if the film supply is empty, etc.).
During normal operation, the imager requires very little attention. It prints automatically
in response to print requests from the configured image sources. Information sent with
the images by the image source, such as film type and size and image quality settings, is
applied unless you set the imager to override information that comes from the image
source.
Print Sequence
Each time the imager receives a print request, the following print sequence occurs. The
blue arrows show the film path.
1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the supply ca
and
feed the film into the transport rollers.
2. The transport rollers move the film down into the exposure transport area.
3. The film moves down during imaging (as the optics module writes the image on
film),
reverses direction at the conclusion of imaging, and then the film moves up
the processor.
4.
As the film passes over the processor drum, the heat generate
the film.
5.
The exit rollers move the developed film to the

exit tray.
Film Sizes
The imager supports four sizes:
•35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.)
•28 x 35 cm (11 x 14 in.)
•25 x 30 cm (10 x 12 in.)
•20 x 25 cm (8 x 10 in.)
For the specific films that are supported, see the Publications Cover Page.
Automatic Image Quality and Processing
An internal densitometer enables the imager to automatically adjust image processing
parameters (Automatic Image Quality Control, or AIQC) to produce an optimal image.
The imager adjusts these parameters each time it prints a calibration film.
A calibration film is printed when:
•The film tray is inserted in the imager with film of a new lot number.
•You request a calibration film at the display screen or the Web Portal.
Overview
•A film cartridge is inserted into the imager for which a current calibrat
stored.

Basic Operating Tasks
During normal operation, the imager receives and automatically prints images sent by
modalities over a network. Very little interaction is required. You may do the following:
•Turn the power on (|) and off (0).
•Load film cartridges.
•Monitor the display screen for status and operating conditions.
Sometimes it will be necessary to perform preventive maintenance, filter replacement,
and other corrective actions such as a restart.
You also may access the Web Portal to perform additional configuration, optimize image
quality, or do troubleshooting tasks.

Note
Understanding the Display Screen
The display screen communicates the status of the imager.
Symbol or codeDescription
Top left of the
display screen:
Error or status code. The 3-digit code displays when the error or status condition is present. If the imager is on and a 3-digit code does not display, the
imager is operating normally.
If a different film size has been requested than what is installed, the
requested film size displays.
When the imager is starting, a countdown displays the number of minutes
until the imager will be ready to print (for example, -4 means 4 minutes
until the imager will be ready to print).
Lower left of
the display
screen:
Film count. Displays the number of films that are remaining in the film cartridge.
The loaded film size also displays in this location.
If a blue number does not display while the imager is powered on, the film
cartridge is not inserted (or not fully inserted) into the imager.
PowerWhen the symbol is green, the power is on and the imager is ready to print.
The symbol flashes while the imager is while processing, calibrating, or
making a test print.
When the symbol is yellow, the imager is not ready to print. Examples are
when the imager is warming up or when the film cartridge is empty.
CalibratePress to initiate film calibration. The symbol flashes while the calibration is
in process.
Calibration might be needed if the symbol is on and code 624, 631, or 632
appears.
PauseDuring normal operation, the symbol is off. (See exceptions in the note
below.) When the film cartridge cover is open, the symbol is on. To avoid
exposing the film to light, do not open the film supply until the symbol is
off.
If the Pause symbol is on, you can press the symbol to temporarily pause
printing. Any jobs in progress finish printing, then the film cartridge cover
closes.
Wait until the Pause symbol is off for cartridge replacement, etc.
The Pause symbol is on while the imager is processing images or test prints
and during calibration.
Film SizeWhen the symbol appears, the requested job requires a different film size.
You can also cancel all pending print jobs that require an unavailable media
size.
