Classification, Warnings, and Cautions
for DryView 8600 Laser Imager (continued)
Avoid touching the developer drum when removing film jams from the imager. The
developer drum may become hot during extended imager operation.
!CAUTION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. Those limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
!CAUTION
Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics, oxygen or nitrous oxide. This
equipment does not have a gas sealed electronics enclosure and could ignite any
flammable or explosive gases present in its environment.

Section 1 –Introduction
1-1
1999 June Rev. A 8186546
Introduction
The Kodak DryView 8600 Laser Imaging System / for Mammography
The Kodak DryView 8600 Laser Imager / for Mammography is a continuous tone
laser imager with an integrated photothermographic film developer. The imager
produces high-quality monochrome images, using an optical laser scanning system,
a data control system that manages external data flow, and a film developer.
The imager uses 8 by 10-inch (20.3 by 25.4 cm) Kodak DryView Mammography
Laser Imaging Film. Each film package contains 100 sheets of film.
The imager produces the first print in approximately 185 seconds, and subsequent
prints at approximately 25 prints per hour. It can produce output from more than one
modality.
The imager acquires, formats and prints images under control of a host modality.
The operator uses a local panel on the imager for control of various local functions.
No machine maintenance is required of the operator.

DryView 8600 User Guide

How the DryView 8600 Laser Imager Works
Each time it receives a print command, the imager prints an image using the
following sequence.
Note
The circled numbers in Figure 1-2 match the sequence steps. Dashed lines
show the film path.
1. Feed film –The feed area drives a sheet of film from the supply tray and feeds it
into the separation rollers.
2. Separate film –The separation rollers check for more than one sheet, then drive
a single sheet of film into the exposure module.
3. Expose film –A laser beam exposes the film. The film is then guided into the
film developer.
4. Develop film –The film develops as it passes over the heated developer drum.
5. Check image quality –The film is routed from the film developer, through the
densitometer, and out to the receive tray.
Figure 1-2. Print Sequence

Section 1 –Introduction
1-3
1999 June Rev. A 8186546
Automatic Image Quality Control
The built-in densitometer is a key element in the Automatic Image Quality Control
(AIQC) process. It enables the imager to automatically adjust image processing
parameters to produce the best image. The imager adjusts these parameters each
time it prints a calibration film. A calibration film is printed when:
The DryView 8600 Laser Imager is powered on.
The film tray is inserted in the imager.
A calibration film is requested from the setup menu.
The imager has not been used for 8 hours, and any type of print is
requested.
The imager reactivates from Energy Saver mode.
Note
If the Energy Saver mode is activated, the DryView 8600 Laser Imager shuts
down its heaters and motors after 3 hours of inactivity. Any button pressed
reactivates the imager to automatically warm up to operating temperature.
Also, the imager reactivates if it is sent an image. A calibration film prints once
the imager reaches operating temperature.
Systems Connecting to the DryView 8600 Laser Imager
The DryView 8600 Laser Imager is used in full-field digital mammography (and in
other digital mammography applications) to reproduce digitized radiograph images
received from a digital radiography modality.
!Warning
J1 (input/output) is intended for interconnection to equipment that complies
with the appropriate IEC 601-1/IEC 601-1-1 harmonized national standards
when interconnected.
Service and Installation
U.S. Connection: 120 volts Line to Neutral
Only factory-trained personnel are authorized to install and service the DryView
8600 Laser Imager. Circuit drawings are made available to the service technician.

USAGE OF TRADE.
The express warranty does not apply to the following: expendable parts; defects or
damage incurred in transportation to the end-user; defects or damage due to
neglect, misuse, operator error, improper installation or alteration of the DryView
8600 Laser Imager; or operation of the DryView 8600 Laser Imager out of
specification.
EXCEPT FOR THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY STATED ABOVE, KODAK IS NOT
LIABLE FOR DIRECT DAMAGES. KODAK WILL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE

Controls and Indicators
DryView 8600 Laser Imager Controls –Main
The imager uses the following controls. The numbered descriptions below
correspond to the numbered callouts in Figure 2-1.
1. Local Panel –Uses a two-line display with 40 characters per line to provide
status, setup, and test information. The panel contains six function buttons and a
numeric keypad. (See page 2-2 for details.)
2. Power Switch –Controls power to the imager.
3. Film Saver –Protects film from exposure when the film tray is temporarily
removed from the DryView 8600.
4. Remote Keypad –Displays control settings for the imager and allows you to
adjust these settings. (See page 2-3 for details.) This keypad is an option and
will not be used in all applications.
5. Manual Film Tray Release button –Allows the film tray to be removed without
the DryView 8600 Imager being powered on. Insert the film saver before using
this button or the film will be exposed.
