Intended use
The DRY 3.4 is a dry digital printer for producing medical diagnostic images.
It can print multiple formats of blue-based CDF-B (8x10 inch, 10x12 inch,
11x14 inch, 14x14 inch and 14x17 inch) or CDF-M Mammo film (8x10 inch,
10x12 inch, 11x14 inch) and offers crisp, dense grayscale images. The DRY 3.4
can be used for general radiography and optionally for the mammography
application. It is designed for high-throughput and for use as a central printer.

Features
Note: The printer is a DICOM-only network printer.
The printer offers the following features:
• Dry technology for printing diagnostic quality hard copies in full daylight
offers important advantages: no chemistry, no wet processing, simple
cleaning procedures, no time-consuming adjustments, no darkroom and
no chemical disposal costs. The consumables can be loaded in full
daylight.
• With its compact design, the printer needs little work space and allows
easy customer access. Maintenance and service activities are reduced to
the minimum.
• The direct thermal printing system provides grayscale images with laser-
like quality: 508 dots per inch resolution, each pixel with a 14 bit contrast
resolution.
• The built-in image spooling on hard disk assures a high throughput.
Printing time is kept to a minimum.
• Multiple film formats can be used. Any combination of two film formats
can be used “on line”. Both input trays can be adjusted for all film formats.
• The input trays are equipped with an RF-tag reader, which automatically
traces the films used in the printer and protects the printer when detecting
non-identified media.
• Number of input trays.
The printer is delivered with two or three input trays. The input trays can
use multiple format films.
• Number of output trays
The printer is delivered with 4 output trays, which can be assigned to
modalities in any combination.
• A Quality Control software module is available for the Key-operator. The
QC procedure for general radiography applications has been designed to
comply with the grayscale reproduction constancy test, according to the
international standard IEC 1223-2-4. The QC procedure for the optional
mammography application has been designed to comply with the
Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) of the FDA.
• Integrated A#sharp technology
A#sharp is a technology that enhances image sharpness. An A#sharp label
on the upper tray shows that the imager has been upgraded with this
technology.
