Safety precautions
When operating or maintaining the Drystar 5302, always observe the
following safety guidelines:
•Have electrical or mechanical defects repaired by qualified personnel only!
•Do not override or disconnect the integrated safety features.
•Ventilation openings should not be covered.
•Always switch off the Drystar 5302 and disconnect the power cord from
the outlet before carrying out any maintenance work.
Always take into account the markings provided on the inside and outside of
the printer. A brief overview of these markings and their meaning is given
below.
The Drystar 5302 must only be operated according to its specifications and its
intended use. Any operation not corresponding to the specifications or intended use
may result in hazards, which in turn may lead to serious injuries or fatal accidents
(for example electric shocks). AGFA will not assume any liability whatsoever in
these cases.
All images created using any image technology can show artifacts, which could be
mixed up with diagnostic relevant information. If there is any doubt that the
diagnostic information could not be absolutely true, additional investigations must
be performed to get a clear diagnostic.
Film jam removal or cleaning the printer thermal head can be done without
switching the power off. Nevertheless, care should be taken and the following
instructions should be respected:
Safety warning, indicating that the Drystar 5302 manuals should be
consulted before making any connections to other equipment. The
use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety
requirements of this printer may lead to a reduced level of safety of
the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice of
accessory equipment shall include:
• Use of the accessory equipment in the patient vicinity,
• Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory equipment
has been performed in accordance with the appropriate IEC 601-1
and IEC 601-1-2 harmonized national standard.
In addition all configurations must comply with the medical
electrical systems standard IEC 601-1-2. The party that makes the
connections acts as system configurator and is responsible for
complying with the systems standard.

Indicates that the Drystar 5302 complies with the limits for type B
equipment.
Supplementary protective earth connector:
Provides a connection between the Drystar 5302 and the potential
equalization bus bar of the electrical system as found in medical
environments. This plug should never be unplugged before the
power is turned off and the power plug has been removed.
Intergrounding connector:
Provides a connection between the printer and other equipment,
which might exhibit minor ground potential differences. These
differences may degrade the quality of communication between
different equipment. Never remove connections to this terminal.
Protective earth (ground):
Provides a connection between the printer and the protective earth
of the mains. Do not remove this connection, because this will have a
negative influence on the leakage current.
Power button:
Note that the power cord has to be disconnected from the wall outlet
in order to disconnect the unit entirely from the mains.
Precautions for use in USA only:
Make sure that the circuit is single-phase center-tapped, if the printer
is connected to a 240 V/60 Hz source instead of a 120 V/60 Hz
source.

ventilation and cause overheating. The printer must only be transported with
all covers closed. The appliance may not be transported continuously from
one location to the other. Do not lift the printer by the output tray.
Waste disposal and environmental regulations
In most countries Drystar film is considered industrial waste and
consequently it is not allowed to be disposed as household waste.
Please consult your local waste disposal regulations. Agfa
recommends having waste Drystar film collected by a licensed
company.
After its life span, do not dispose of the Drystar 5302 without
consideration of local waste disposal legislation and regulations.
Please consult your local service organization.

Privacy and security
Within the health care industry, several standardization efforts are ongoing as
a response to Privacy and Security legislation and regulations. The purpose of
this standardization for hospitals and vendors is to enable information
sharing, interoperability and to support the workflow of hospitals in a
multiple vendor environment.
In order to allow hospitals to comply with HIPAA regulations (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and to meet the IHE standards
(Integrated Healthcare Enterprise) some security features are included in the
user interface of the Drystar 5302 (available via the web pages only: under
‘Security tools’. Refer to the chapter ‘Controlling the Drystar 5302 via a remote
PC (with browser)’):
•User authentication. The administrator can configure different user
accounts. Each account consists of a user name and a password.
•Audit logging. This implies logging to a central log server of specific
Drystar 5302 ‘actions’, e.g. start-up/shut down, user authentication
(failures), received print job ID information, etc.
•Node authentication, using certificates. Working with SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) allows secure communications over an insecure network. SSL is the
security layer on top of TCP/IP.
The first two functions are available when access to the Administrator is
granted (i.e. when the Administrator password has been correctly entered).
To activate the SSL, please contact your Agfa representative.

18 2830A EN 20050526Introducing the Drystar 5302
DRYSTAR 5302 REFERENCE MANUAL
Node authentication, certificates and Certification Authority
Each device - connected to a network - will receive a unique identifier: the
X.509 certificate, a digital passport. Any device on the network is only
allowed to communicate with another node of which it is holding the
certificate in a ‘communication allowed’ table.
A Certification Authority (CA) is responsible for creating a certificate. The CA
can be the hospital, Agfa or a third party.
This CA distributes the certificate to the hospital security responsible or
service technician, who for his part:
•Imports the device certificate, created by the CA.
•Imports the certificates of all peer devices with which communication is
authorized, i.e. creates the list of ‘communication allowed’ device
certificates.
