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 high
quality: 508 pixels per inch resolution, each pixel with 14 bit contrast
resolution.
• 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 input trays. The input trays can use
multiple format films.
• Number of output trays
The printer is delivered with one output tray, which is suitable for the
multiple formats without any adjustment.
• 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 NEMA Standards Publication XR 23-2006.
• Integrated A#sharp technology
A#sharp is a technology that enhances image sharpness. An A#sharp label
on the lower tray shows that the imager is equipped with this technology.
