Note:
Filmer DICOM AE (Application Entity) Title may be site specific. Make sure that you check with the
Filming Device Service Representative and the hospital network administrator to ensure you are us-
ing the correct AE Title for the destination Filming Device.

D Medium Type:
Select the appropriate Medium Type parameter. Check with the radiology department and the
Filming Device Service Representative to determine whether the department is using BLUE
FILM, CLEAR FILM, or PAPER.

D Film Orientation:
Select PORTRAIT or LANDSCAPE. If you change this parameter, you might also change the Film For-
mat. Consult the manufacturer of a DICOM printer for proper Film Format settings.

D Destination:
Select the appropriate Destination parameter. Check with the radiology department and the Filming De-
vice Service Representative to determine whether to use MAGAZINE or PROCESSOR.

D Magnification Type:
Select the appropriate Magnification Type parameter. This parameter selects the algorithm used to inter-
polate pixels to provide desired film resolution. Check with the Filming Device Service Representative to
ensure the best Image Quality film presentation. For most Filming Device manufacturers, the preferred
selection is CUBIC.

Magnification Type Selection Descriptions:

–NONE: No interpolation. This selection is available for camera types that do not support Magnification
Type algorithms.
– REPLICATE: Adjacent pixels are interpolated which results in images described as “pixelly”. This algo-
rithm is not usually preferred.
–BILINEAR: A first order interpolation of pixels is used which results in images described as blurred. This
algorithm is not usually preferred.
–CUBIC: A third order interpolation is used with a large number of possible formulations. Filming Device
manufacturers define parameters called smoothing type to set coefficients used in the algorithm. The im-
plementation of these coefficients is Filming Device manufacturer dependent.

D Film Format:
Use the default values. However, if you change Film Orientation, you might also change the Film Format.
Consult the manufacturer of a DICOM printer for proper Film Format settings.

3-19-2 DICOM Print Troubleshooting Tips

The following is a summary of troubleshooting information for DICOM Print that was gathered during software testing
and validation of the DICOM Print feature.

ERROR BRINGING UP THE CAMERA INSTALLATION/FILMING APPLICATION

D Symptom: After creating/modifying the DICOM Print Camera the install camera interface does not come
up and the filming application indicates it cannot bring up the film composer.
Cause: The configuration field contains invalid information such as a backslash (\) as the final character
in the field or brackets ({}).

D Solution: The camera.dev file in “~ctuser/app–defaults/devices” must be manually edited to remove the
offending characters in the set configuration line. Invalid characters include \{}

CONFIGURATION INFORMATION FIELD

D Symptom: Cannot view the entire configuration field (> 25 characters)

D Solution: Hold down the middle mouse button and move the field contents

NEED TO SET DICOM PRINT ATTRIBUTES NOT SUPPORTED BY SOFTWARE

D Symptom: User wants the white border around each image box ON/OFF permanently for this system
and it cannot be set as the default for the camera.

D Solution: Using your favorite editor, add the following line to the camera.dev file located in “~ctuser/app–
defaults/devices” after the DICOM Print device has been otherwise configured.
For Trim Off – set TRIM NO
For Trim On – set TRIM YES

D Symptom: DICOM Print Camera supports multiple film sizes and the User only wants to print if the Film
Size is correct for [14x17]. [Otherwise the camera will queue the films or return an error causing the queue
to pause (based upon the DICOM Print Camera specifications).]

D Solution: Using your favorite editor, add the following line to the camera.dev file located in “~ctuser/app–
defaults/devices” after the DICOM Print device has been otherwise configured.
To force a 14x17 film size – set filmSize 14INX17IN

a. Click on Service icon to display the Service Menu desktop, then select Application Shutdown –>
OK.

b. Click on Shell.

3-19-2 DICOM Print Troubleshooting Tips (Continued)

c. Type as follows:

> cd /usr/g/ctuser/app–defaults/devices <Enter>

> ls *.dev <Enter>
camera.dev (This is the file for a laser imager.)
di3.dev (Example; This is the file for DICOM printer.)
xxx.dev (Example; another DICOM printer)
> nedit di3.dev <Enter> (Example; the current DICOM printer is “di3.dev”.)

d. Add the following line to the dev file for the current DICOM printer.

#first the obligatory fields

set dName ”di3”

set dPort 104
set dComment ””
set dType digital
set dColour greyscale
set dQueueType DICM
set dQueueName dicom
set dAppTitle ”di3”
set dIPAddress X.XX.XXX.XXX
set dHostName di3
set filmSize 14INX17IN (Add this line here!)

#then the optional fields

e. Select File –> Save.

f. Type exit <Enter> to terminate the shell window.

NEED TO PREVENT DICOM PRINT ATTRIBUTES FROM BEING SENT TO DICOM PRINT CAMERA
D Symptom: Some DICOM Print attributes are optional, and may result in fatal errors. For example, the
Fuji camera does not support the Empty Image Density parameter for the film box.

D Solution: Using your favorite editor, add the following line(s) to the camera.dev file located in “~ctuser/
app–defaults/devices” after the DICOM Print device has been otherwise configured.
– To prevent sending the Smoothing Parameter set FB_Smooth FALSE
– To prevent sending the Border Density set FB_Border FALSE
– To prevent sending the Empty Image Density set FB_EID FALSE
– To prevent sending the Minimum Density set FB_MinD FALSE
– To prevent sending the Trim Parameter set FB_Trim FALSE

3-19-2 DICOM Print Troubleshooting Tips (Continued)

ERROR TRYING TO CONNECT TO THE DICOM PRINT CAMERA

D Symptom: DICOM Print server can be reached (ping), but Application error indicates “Unable to start film-
ing interface” and the help message talks about running the install.dasm (Association Error)

D Solution: The system is unable to complete the association. Check the AE Title and the Port number of
the DICOM Print Server and correct them using reconfiguration, CT Camera setting screen.

FILM COMPOSER ERROR NOT USABLE

D Symptom: Film Composer error says ”unrecognized status – code 0”

D Solution: Review the log file, the attention and status windows. These areas have the correct filming sta-
tus (e.g. film jam, supply empty)

DEBUGGING CONNECTION ISSUES DIFFICULT

D Symptom: The timeouts for the DICOM Print are very long, which means one needs to wait a long time
before you know the application is not working.

D Solution: The timeouts for the DICOM Print were setup to ensure that the system would work regardless
of whether the DICOM Print Camera was on a LAN or a WAN halfway around the world. The DICOM Print
timeouts for the association and DIMSE classes (e.g. N–GET, N–DELETE) can be modified within the
DICOM Print camera installation. They can be reduced down to 90 seconds.

DICOM PRINT ERROR ON N–GET TIMEOUT CONFUSING

D Symptom: When the N–GET timeout goes off, the error message in the prslog file will be “Could not get
printer status, invalid command sequence for N–GET”.

D Solution: When the User sees the above error they may want to consider that the issue may be an inactiv-
ity timer on the N–GET DIMSE Service.

DICOM PRINT CAMERA SLIDE SUPPORT

D Symptom: Current implementation of DICOM Print does not allow selection of slide format.

D Solution: Feature not currently supported. Possibly in future releases.

CONFUSION ON FILM FORMAT NOTATION

D Symptom: GEMS Laser Camera and DICOM Print film format notations are opposite.

D Solution: GEMS Laser Camera film format notation has always been
– row x col (e.g. 12 on 1 = 4x3)
– DICOM Print Standard film format notation is
– col x row (e.g. 12 on 1 = 3x4)
