1 Overview
The Laser Imaging System is a continuous-tone laser imager with an
internal photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather than photo
chemicals, is used to develop the film. This easy-to-use and reliable laser
imager provides high quality prints. Use the prints from this system for:
• Diagnostic purposes to determine patient treatments
• Referral, sharing, or educational purposes
The system receives and prints from image sources such as medical
electrical equipment (modalities) and workstations over the network.
You can send print jobs simultaneously from multiple image sources.
The open design lets you connect to modalities of all types and vendors.
IMPORTANT: Install the printing system in a secure location to protect
patient privacy rights if required by local regulations.
1Topcover. Covers the processor rollers. The top cover is interlocked.
2 Display screen. Your interface to the laser imager. Provides status and
error information.
3Rightcover. Protects sensitive electronic equipment. The right cover
is interlocked and is only accessed by service personnel.
4 Film supply. Install film cartridges here. Supports four film sizes.
5 Left cover. You might remove the left cover to clear an occasional
film jam. The left cover is interlocked.
6 Power switch. The power switch is on the back.
7 Exit tray. Extend the exit tray to hold large film (35 x 43 cm, or
14 x 17 in.) as it finishes printing. It can hold up to 50 processed sheets
of film.

Overview
Major internal assemblies
1Exposure transport. Moves the film past the scanning laser beam.
2Transport guides. Orient and center the film while moving the film from the supply to the imaging
portion of the laser imager.
3DICOM Raster Engine (DRE). A computer board that receives, processes, and manages the images.
4Feed rollers. Move the film through the laser imager.
5Processor rollers. The processor uses heat to develop the image written onto the film by the laser in the
optics module. The rollers move the film through the processor assembly, holding the film against the
processor drum.
6Processor drum. Provides the heat that processes the image on the film.
7Airflow manifolds. Remove heat and processing odors from the processor assembly.
8Pickup assembly. Lifts a single sheet of film from the supply cartridge and feeds it into the rollers.
9Exit rollers. Moves the film from the processor area to the exit tray.
10 Rollback assembly. Rolls the film cartridge cover back so the pickup assembly can lift the film. When
the laser imager is not printing, the cover is closed over the film cartridge to protect the film from light.
11 Charcoal filter. Absorbs the odors caused by heat processing.
12 Optics module. Writes the image onto the film while the film is moved through the exposure transport.
13 Accumulator. The film feeds into the accumulator as it is imaged. When imaging is complete, the film
is sent from the accumulator up to the processor assembly where the heat is applied to process the image.

How the laser imager works
The laser imager receives, processes, manages, and prints the images on
film. The laser imager has limited storage to hold a small number of
digital images. As images are received for printing, they are stored in
memory, placed in a sequential print queue, and are printed in order. The
laser imager can continue to accept incoming print jobs even if
temporarily unable to print (if the film supply is empty, etc).
During normal operation, the laser imager requires very little attention. It
prints automatically in response to print requests from the configured
image sources. Information sent with the images by the image source,
such as film type and size and image quality settings, is applied unless
you set the laser imager to override information that comes from the
image source.
Print sequence
Each time the laser imager receives a print request, the following print
sequence occurs. The blue arrows show the film path.
1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the
supply cartridge and feed the film into the transport rollers.
2. The transport rollers move the film down into the exposure transport
area.
3. The film moves down during imaging (as the optics module writes
the image onto film), reverses direction at the conclusion of
imaging, and then the film moves up into the processor.
4. As the film passes over the processor drum, the heat generated by
the drum develops the film.
5. The exit rollers move the developed film to the exit tray.

Overview
Film sizes
The laser imager supports four sizes:
• 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.)
• 28 x 35 cm (11 x 14 in.)
• 25 x 30 cm (10 x 12 in.)
• 20 x 25 cm (8 x 10 in.)
For the specific films that are supported, see the Publications Cover
Page.
Automatic image quality and processing
An internal densitometer enables the laser imager to automatically adjust
image processing parameters (Automatic Image Quality Control, or
AIQC) to produce an optimal image. The laser imager adjusts these
parameters each time it prints a calibration film.
A calibration film is printed when:
• The film tray is inserted in the laser imager with film of a new lot
number.
• You request a calibration film at the display screen or the Web
Portal. For more information, see “Calibrating the laser imager for
the installed film” on page 2-9.
• A film cartridge is inserted into the laser imager for which a current
calibration is not stored.
Configuring and monitoring the system (using the Web
Portal)
The Web Portal is your interface to additional features. In addition to
the installation and setup of your system, you can view and manage the
laser imager's connections over the network, configure features, view
error messages, and access general status information at the Web Portal.
You can also check film count, film size, and film type.
For more information, see “Accessing the Web Portal” on page 2-10.

Enhancing serviceability with remote monitoring
Remote Management Services is set up through the Web Portal, and is
designed to enhance efficient system serviceability and simplify
analytical and service processes through the monitoring of your
equipment. Additionally, this simplifies the service process by providing
qualified service personnel with faster, easier, and more complete access
to the operational history of each system.
Remote Management Services provides the following for the laser
imager:
• Ability to monitor and diagnose error conditions without
introducing “downtime”
• Firewall-safe, Internet transmission of machine data, while
complying with patient confidentiality regulations
• Minimal effort to set up communication
• Flexibility to facilitate specific configurations at each site
Agency compliance
