• Automatic filming sends an entire study to the laser printer.
Filming is performed in background mode so that other
scanner and image processing functions can be performed
without interruption or delay.
• When T-mode is used, related information items displayed
together with an image (surrounding the image, in a small
font) are displayed in the footer area using a larger font,
permitting not only easier reading but also simpler film
management.
Note: To use T-mode, the laser imager must support
2048 × 2404 pixels for a 1 × 1 frame layout.
