1 How it works

To give the needed flexibility to Users, Resellers, and OPCO’s in creating a Logo or a front and back page, the best solution is to allow usage of whatever Computer editing software they own for text/graphics edition.

Mixing this graphic work with the DICOM printout is based on PostScript forms.

Creation/design can be made with whatever software you want using the standard PS printer driver and asking for form creation in the advanced setting. Refer to the standard printer manual.

The created files can be packaged and downloaded to the printer with OKI free software: “Storage Device Manager” or “Configuration Tool”.

2 Recommendations

Resolution of the Artwor k: Each time a printout is made using the “Header Logo” function, the header

Logo file is computed in addition to the DICOM printing. Therefore, be careful not to put a too high resolution Logo in the Header. It is very easy to resize a high resolution logo to the adequate size in any

page publishing program, but resizing doesn’t resample the image to remove the useless details. Sometimes, just resizing will p roduce a very high resolu tion lo go file whic h wi ll be pro cess or cons umi ng a t prin to ut ti me . If you notice a sensible loss in performance when you print with Logo Heade r op ti on, you certainly produced a too high resolution file for the purpose.

We recommend using Graphics at a resolution between 200 and 300dpi at 1:1 scale.

3 Limitations

You need to use a MS Windows computer as the Storage Device Manager and Configuration Tool are only available for this platform.

You need to install the PostScript diver for you r p rint er.

Only one form for the header or for the booklet is available for one paper format in one printer.

4 Header Page Layout

Space for text header

Additional space that is Unprintable area

Printable area when Logo

A space for text header is reserved at the top of the page. This space is increased in case of use of graphical “Logo Header”.

taken for graphica l header you will create.

Header is selected.

The reserved space on the DICOM page for the logo is always at the top of the A4/Letter or A3/Tabloid format.

The DICOM print area begins one inch (25.4mm) below the paper edge. The unprintable area is 5mm around the page thus the remaining space is

20.4mm for the Logo and/or text. If you want to have an equilibrated spacing with the DICOM maximum area printout, we recommend creating a 15 to 16mm height artwork starting at 5mm from top of page.

5 Booklet Page Layout

Front Page is at the right side.

Unprintable area

The Space for booklet cover and back page is a whole A4 or A3 page. The medical image is printed on the other side. Once folded, you get A5 or

A4 booklet.

The unprintable area is 5mm around the page and all the remaining space is free for customization.

6 Using MS Wo rdP ad or MS Wo rd for Headers

Open a new document in MS WordPad or MS Word. First step is to select the paper format you want to produce accordingly

with the format you want to DICOM print with the header.

1) Set the paper format to desired size A4, Letter, A3 or Tabloid.

2) Keep the page orientation in Portrait even if you intend to produce Landscape DICOM pri ntouts.

3) Adjust the margins for the printer printable area to 5 mm each side.

Page format margins

4) Type text and/or paste your logo in the upper part of the page. Tips:

Reduce the MS Word window to show only the available area (align with the 2cm rule graduation). Use the 0.75cm sub graduation to visualize the horizontal axis of the free area.

5) You have completed your Header creation.

You can check it by printing on paper. Once OK, you will need to produce the form file for the printer.

You may get diffi culti es in creating A4/Letter document with the latest MS Word. The reason is that Office changes the print format automatically up to your computer regional settings.

A simple way of checking is to print for real the document on the destination printer.

If the print is OK, then you o nly need t o adjust yo ur docum ent. If the printer asks for Letter when you print an A4 document (or vice versa), you need to proceed through the following steps.

Open: File/options

Deselect “Scale content for A4 or 8.5x11” paper sizes”.
