1 Overview
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, including imaging for full field
digital mammography
• Referral, sharing, or educational purposes
The system receives and prints from qualified 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.

1 Top cover. Covers the processor rollers. The top cover is interlocked.

2 Display screen. Provides an interface to the imager, with status and error information.

3 Right cover. Protects sensitive electronic equipment. The right cover is only accessed by
service personnel.

4 Film supply door. Covers the upper and lower film supplies.

5 Left cover. Covers the left side of the imager. You might remove the left cover to clear
an occasional film jam. The left cover is interlocked.

AD3435_en | 2016-03-31 1–1

Overview

6 Filter door. Covers the replaceable filter.

7 Exit tray. Holds multiple sheets of processed film. Extend the exit tray to hold large film
(35 x 43 cm/14 x 17 in. and 35 x 35 cm/14 x 14 in.) as it finishes printing.

 Overview

1 Airflow manifold. Removes heat and processing odors from the processor assembly.

2 Exit rollers. Move the film from the processor area to the exit tray.

3 Optics module. Writes the image onto the film while the film is moved through the
exposure transport.

4 Deodorant filter. Absorbs potential odors that may be caused by heat processing.

5 Accumulator. Receives the film before it is imaged. The film is sent from the accumula-
tor up to the optics module, and then to the processor assembly where the heat is
applied to process the image.

6 Rollback assemblies (upper and lower). Roll the film cartridge cover back so the
pickup assembly can lift the film. When the imager is not printing, the cover is closed
over the film cartridge to protect the film from light.

7 Feed rollers. Move the film through the imager.

8 Pickup assemblies (upper and lower). Lift a single sheet of film from the supply car-
tridge and feed it into the rollers.

9 Transport guides. Orient the film while moving it (the film) from the supply to the
imaging portion of the imager.

10 Exposure transport. Moves the film past the scanning laser beam.

11 Processor drum. Provides the heat that processes the image on the film.

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 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.

AD3435_en | 2016-03-31 1–3

Overview

Print Sequence

Each time the imager receives a print request, the following print sequence occurs. The
arrows show the film path.
1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of one of the supply
cartridges and feed the film into the transport rollers.
2. The transport rollers move the film down to the accumulator area.
3. The film reverses direction and moves up during imaging (as the optics module writes
the image onto film). Then the film moves up to the processor.
4. As the film passes over the processor drum, the heat generated by the drum develops
the film.
5. The exit rollers move the developed film to the exit tray.

1–4 AD3435_en | 2016-03-31

 Overview

Supported Film Sizes

The imager is available in different configurations; the following film sizes can be
supported:
• 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.)
Blue and mammography film types may be available.

Mammography Imaging
To manage and support mammography imaging, the imager provides these features.
• You can load mammography film in one or both film supplies.
• The imager can be configured to print mammography images exclusively on
mammography film. If a mammography image request is received, and:
– a cartridge with mammography film is not loaded,
and/or
– the requested mammography film size is not loaded,
then the imager will request the appropriate film size and type. You must load the
requested size and type to print the mammography job.
• Several mammography-specific test prints are provided, including a test print for the
routine calibration of mammography film (for example, a density wedge print). The
default mammography test print is configured during installation and can be
changed from the Web Portal.

Note
See the Mammography Quality Control Manual for more information. Requirements for
mammography quality control vary by region.

Automatic Image Quality and Processing

An internal densitometer enables the imager to automatically adjust image processing
parameters using Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) to produce an optimal image.
The imager adjusts these parameters each time it prints a calibration film.
A calibration film is printed when:
• A film cartridge 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.
• A film cartridge is inserted into the imager for which a current calibration is not
stored.

 Basic Operating Tasks

Calibrate the Imager for the Loaded Film

Automatic vs. Manual Calibration

The imager automatically calibrates film with a new media lot number.
The calibration initiates a test print with a step wedge pattern. The pattern has a series
of 21 step wedges of increasing optical density.
Occasionally, it will be necessary to manually calibrate the imager for the film. Run a
calibration manually when:
• A calibration error occurred, indicated by codes 624, 631, or 632 on the display screen.
The imager will continue to print with a 631 or 632 error. A 624 error requires you to
retry calibration and/or replace the film cartridge.
• A Not Calibrated message appears on the Web Portal Home screen.

Manual Calibration

1. Press the Calibrate symbol for the film cartridge (upper or lower).

Figure 10: In this example, the imager is running a calibration on the lower cartridge. The
Calibration and Power symbols both flash while the calibration is in progress.

2. When the symbols stop flashing, the calibration is complete.

Note
If the Calibration symbol turns from blue to amber, there was a problem with the calibration
process. An error code will display, and the indicator light associates the error code to the film
cartridge. When a calibration error occurs, it might be necessary to address the error before you
can continue printing to that film cartridge.

About Mammography Quality Control

There are several options for mammography calibration prints, for example, QC wedges,
multipurpose QC, TG18-PQC or QC, TG18-UN10 or 80, or TG18-UNL10 or 80. The default
is configured during installation, and you can change it any time from the Web Portal.
The QC step wedge test print provides density feedback at the conclusion of the test print
cycle, letting you track and record density variations on mammography film. Four
nominal output densities have been selected for control charting purposes:
• Step 1—Low density, not less than 0.45
• Step 2—High density, approximately 2.20
• Step 3—Minimum density (DMin) (Base + Fog)
• Step 4—Mid density, not less than 1.20

2–14 AD3435_en | 2016-03-31

Basic Operating Tasks

Open or Remove a Cover

You can open or remove the imager’s top cover, left cover, film supply door, and filter
cover. The covers are protected with an interlock mechanism to keep the imager from
printing when they are open. The imager is not operational when an interlock is open.
Code 701 alerts you that a cover and an interlock are open, and internal power has been
removed from the operator accessible areas.

Figure 13: The 701 error indicates that a cover is open.

You might need to remove the:

• Film supply door, top cover, or left cover to search for film jams
• Filter cover to replace the filter

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Overview: Status and Error Messages and Codes

The imager detects errors and other conditions and reports them to you in multiple ways.
Some conditions require your action. This section provides a list of the codes, explains the
condition, and provides recommended actions when appropriate. View the codes:
• At the imager’s display screen, on the center right. The display screen reports
3-digit codes.
Some codes are associated with symbols on the display screen, such as the Film Jam
symbol, to help you quickly understand the condition.
• At the Web Portal. Access the Web Portal using your personal computer, keyboard,
and mouse to gain more information about the errors and conditions. Using the Web
Portal is optional, but you may find it useful. The Web Portal can report more
information than the imager’s display screen due to the limited size of the display
screen.

About the Filter

Caution
In the U.S., exhausted filters are considered to be non-hazardous waste according to the US
Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA). Municipality
owned and licensed solid waste management facilities are an appropriate disposal option.
Contact your local or state solid waste authorities to determine if additional disposal requirements
apply. In other regions, contact local or regional solid waste authorities for proper disposal
guidance.
The filter traps potential odors that are generated in the imager during film processing.
The filter must be replaced after 7500 prints. Keep at least one new filter available to
replace the used filter when needed.

AD3435_en | 2016-03-31 3–3

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Replace the Filter

When the filter must be replaced, the display screen shows the 449 error code and the
Maintenance symbol.

1. Open the film supply door (1).

2. Remove the filter cover (2) by pulling out from the bottom of the cover.

4. Install a new filter.

5. Re-install the filter cover.
6. To reset the imager for the new filter and to clear the Maintenance symbol, press and
then release the illuminated Maintenance and Calibrate symbols at the same time.

550 Code and Maintenance Symbol

If the imager needs a preventive maintenance service call, the 550 code and Maintenance
symbol appear:

When the 550 code displays, contact a qualified service provider.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Error Indicators on the Display Screen

The imager can detect errors and other conditions that require a response. Some errors
or abnormal conditions are reported on the display screen in the form of condition codes
and symbols.

Note
These errors are also reported at the Web Portal.

Recognize and Handle a Calibration Error

When the calibration has failed, the display screen shows a 624, 631, or 632 error and the
Calibrate symbol is amber.

Figure 14: In this example, the amber indicator light and Calibration symbol indicate that
calibration of the film in the lower cartridge has failed.

The most common cause is a film-related problem. Depending on the cause, you may be
able to keep printing, but the imager may not be optimally calibrated for this film lot.
Attempt a manual calibration. If the calibration fails again, load a new film cartridge.

 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Handle a Required Restart

When the Restart symbol appears, you must restart the imager.

Figure 15: The amber Power symbol, together with the Restart symbol, indicates that you must
restart the imager to continue printing.

1. Press the power switch on the back of the imager off.

2. Press the power switch on.

If the error does not clear after the restart, it might be necessary to contact a qualified
service provider.

Recognize and Handle a Film Jam

When the Film Jam symbol appears, you must clear the jam before the imager can
continue to print. After the jam has been cleared, the imager will reprint the image on a
new sheet of film.

Figure 16: In this example, the red jam symbol alerts you to the jam, and the amber indicator
light shows you that the jam is related to the upper film cartridge. The error code also indicates a
film jam.

4 Film Technical Information
This section describes the characteristics of Laser Imaging Film, not the operation of the
imager. The Laser Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive,
photothermographic film designed specifically for the imager.

Spectral Sensitivity of the Film

The Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to the infrared laser
diode of the imagers. When handled according to instructions on the daylight-load film
package, safelights are not needed. If you remove undeveloped film from the
daylight-load package, you will need a darkroom setting and a green safelight.

AD3435_en | 2016-03-31 4–1

Film Technical Information

Film Image Quality

The Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone images along with
sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This high-quality, silver-based film provides
health care providers with the same diagnostic information they are accustomed to
viewing—including spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels. Because it is a totally dry
imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to wet chemistry.

Environmental Impact
Tests show that the Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous to the environment.
As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of film with less impact on the
environment than if you were using wet-developed silver halide films.

 Film Technical Information

Undeveloped Film Handling and Storage

To achieve consistent results up to the expiration date indicated on the film package, the
Laser Imaging Film must be stored in a cool, dry place (4–24 °C, or 39–75 °F) and properly
shielded from x-rays, gamma rays, or other penetrating radiation.
The film can withstand short-term temperature spikes (up to 35 °C, or 95 °F) for several
hours without any significant effect on film quality or performance. Temperatures above
35 °C (95 °F) will gradually diminish shelf life.
Hands must be clean, dry, and free of lotions. Handle film carefully by the edges to avoid
physical strains such as pressure, creasing, or buckling.

Developed Film Handling and Archival

Handling the Laser Imaging Film requires reasonable care. Spills, humidity, and other
moisture typically have no significant effect on developed films. However, prolonged
exposure to intense light or excessive heat (equal to or greater than 54.4 °C or 130.0 °F)
for more than three hours may cause some gradual darkening of images. Leaving films
in vehicles in hot climates for extended periods of time is not recommended.
For best results, store the film in sleeves when not being reviewed. The Laser Imaging
Film can be left on a light box for more than 24 hours. In extreme cases in which the light
boxes are exceptionally hot (equal to or greater than 49 °C or 120 °F), the manufacturer
recommends removing them prior to eight hours of continuous exposure.
Take care when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds because temperatures
near the light source may exceed 82.2 °C (180.0 °F). Use in slide projectors is not
recommended due to the high temperatures generally found in these devices.
With dry technology, a small amount of final development occurs when the film exits the
imager and is initially exposed to ambient or view-box lighting. This is virtually
undetectable and has no effect on image quality (typically 0.02 change in density). This
small density increase is uniform and permanent upon full exposure of the film under
normal handling conditions (room light or view box).
The Laser Imaging Film has been tested and can be archived for more than 100 years
when stored at American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recommended storage
conditions (equal to or less than 25 °C or 77 °F). Processing film should be stored within
the temperature range of 16–27 °C, or 60–80 °F, and at 30–50 % RH. Developed films may
be stored at higher temperatures; however, that will reduce the number of years the film
can be stored. For example, storing films at a constant elevated temperature of 32.2 °C
(90.0 °F) may reduce archive capability to 30 years.

AD3435_en | 2016-03-31 4–3

Film Technical Information

Exposing Film to Moisture

The Laser Imaging Films typically withstand humidity, spills, and other forms of water
without any significant effect on image quality or film integrity. If needed, film can be
cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.

Odor Dissipation
Dry technology eliminates nearly all processing odors. While some low-level odors are
produced during the development process, they pose no known adverse health risks.
Processing odor levels are further reduced by non-hazardous, disposable filters in the
imager. The filters trap most low-level odors and prevent them from dissipating into the
work environment. To help maintain optimum performance, the filters require periodic
replacement. The imager requires no special venting.

Heat Dissipation
The imager uses controlled heat to develop the Laser Imaging Film. The heat has virtually
no effect on the air temperature of the work area. The amount of heat dissipated into
an area during a day is typically less than the heat generated by two to four 100-watt
light bulbs.

Film Recycling
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, the Laser
Imaging Film is not considered hazardous and requires no special disposal procedures.
However, the film does contain silver and polyester that may be recovered by using one
of several recycling processes.

Caution
Lithium batteries should only be replaced by an authorized service provider. The laser imager uses
a lithium battery to power the clock and calendar circuitry. THERE IS A DANGER OF EXPLOSION
IF THE BATTERY IS REPLACED INCORRECTLY. The battery must be replaced only with the same or
equivalent type. The U.S. EPA’s RCRA does not regulate disposal of this lithium battery. Users
should discard spent batteries in municipal trash unless their community offers a battery collection
program. In other regions, contact local or regional solid waste authorities for proper disposal
guidance.

Laser Warning
The equipment uses an invisible laser beam with a maximum power of 120 milliwatts. Laser
radiation may be present when the machine operates without the rear cover installed. Covers
with this label may only be removed by an authorized service provider. USE OF CONTROLS OR
ADJUSTMENTS, OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN,
MAY RESULT IN EYE DAMAGE.

magnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field
strength in the location in which the laser imager is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the laser imager
should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
as reorienting or relocating the laser imager.

Recommended Separation Distance Between Portable and Mobile RF

Communications Equipment and the System

The equipment is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated

RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the equipment can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communication equipment (transmitters) and the equipment as
recommended below, according to the maximum output of the communications
equipment.
