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 imager provides high-quality prints. Use
the prints from this system for:
• Diagnostic purposes to determine patient treatments, including imaging for full field
digital mammography
• Referral, sharing, or educational purposes
The system receives and prints from qualified 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.
1Top cover. Covers the processor rollers. The top cover is interlocked.
2Display screen. Provides an interface to the imager, with status and error information.
3Right cover. Protects sensitive electronic equipment. The right cover is only accessed by
service personnel.
4Film supply door. Covers the upper and lower film supplies.
5Left cover. Covers the left side of the imager. You might remove the left cover to clear
an occasional film jam. The left cover is interlocked.

How the Imager Works
The imager receives, processes, manages, and prints the images on film. The 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 printed in
order. The 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 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 imager to override information that comes from the image
source.
1Airflow manifold. Removes heat and processing odors from the processor assembly.
2Exit rollers. Move the film from the processor area to the exit tray.
3Optics module. Writes the image onto the film while the film is moved through the
exposure transport.
4Deodorant filter. Absorbs potential odors that may be caused by heat processing.
5Accumulator. Receives the film before it is imaged. The film is sent from the accumula-
tor up to the optics module, and then to the processor assembly where the heat is
applied to process the image.
6Rollback assemblies (upper and lower). Roll the film cartridge cover back so the
pickup assembly can lift the film. When the imager is not printing, the cover is closed
over the film cartridge to protect the film from light.
7Feed rollers. Move the film through the imager.
8Pickup assemblies (upper and lower). Lift a single sheet of film from the supply car-
tridge and feed it into the rollers.
9Transport guides. Orient the film while moving it (the film) from the supply to the
imaging portion of the imager.
10 Exposure transport. Moves the film past the scanning laser beam.
11 Processor drum. Provides the heat that processes the image on the film.

Overview
1–4 AD3435_en | 2017-11-17
Print Sequence
Each time the imager receives a print request, the following print sequence occurs. The
arrows show the film path.
1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of one of the supply
cartridges and feed the film into the transport rollers.
2. The transport rollers move the film down to the accumulator area.
3. The film reverses direction and moves up during imaging (as the optics module writes
the image onto film). Then the film moves up to 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
AD3435_en | 2017-11-17 1–5
Supported Film Sizes
The imager is available in different configurations; the following film sizes can be
supported:
• 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.)
Blue and mammography film types may be available.
Mammography Imaging
To manage and support mammography imaging, the imager provides these features.
• You can load mammography film in one or both film supplies.
• The imager can be configured to print mammography images exclusively on
mammography film. If a mammography image request is received, and:
– a cartridge with mammography film is not loaded,
and/or
– the requested mammography film size is not loaded,
then the imager will request the appropriate film size and type. You must load the
requested size and type to print the mammography job.
• Several mammography-specific test prints are provided, including a test print for the
routine calibration of mammography film (for example, a density wedge print). The
default mammography test print is configured during installation and can be
changed from the Web Portal.
Note
See the Mammography Quality Control Manual for more information. Requirements for
mammography quality control vary by region.
Automatic Image Quality and Processing
An internal densitometer enables the imager to automatically adjust image processing
parameters using Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) to produce an optimal image.
The imager adjusts these parameters each time it prints a calibration film.
A calibration film is printed when:
• A film cartridge is inserted in the imager with film of a new lot number.
• You request a calibration film at the display screen or the Web Portal.
• A film cartridge is inserted into the imager for which a current calibration is not
stored.

The Display Screen
The display screen communicates the status of the imager.
Figure 1: Display screen: normal state, processing a print job from the upper supply. In this
example, there are 86 sheets of film in the upper cartridge and 113 sheets in the lower cartridge.
Symbol or code Description
Upper and lower
left side
Film counts. Displays the number of films that are remaining in the upper and
lower film cartridges.
If a blue number does not display while the imager is powered on, the associated
film cartridge is not inserted (or not fully inserted) into the imager.
Center right Error or status code. The 3-digit code displays when the error or status condition is
present. If the imager is on and a 3-digit code does not display, the imager is oper-
ating normally.
• If a print job requires a different film size and/or type from the loaded films, the
requested size and type displays along with the Film size symbol. For mammog-
raphy film, an Mdisplays in front of the film size, and Bindicates the blue base
film. Load the requested film size and type.
• When the imager is starting, a countdown displays the number of minutes until
the imager will be ready to print (for example, -4 means 4 minutes until the
imager will be ready to print).
Indicator light The light indicates the active cartridge. For example, when printing from the upper
supply, the indicator light appears next to the upper film count.
• When green, operation is normal.
• When amber, the light indicates that there is an issue with the film supply, such
as a jammed film.

Basic Operating Tasks
AD3435_en | 2017-11-17 2–3
Power When the symbol is green, the power is on and the imager is ready to print.
• The symbol flashes while the imager is processing, calibrating, or making a test
print.
•When the symbol is amber, the imager is not ready to print. Examples are when
the imager has just been started, when a film cartridge is empty or jammed, and
when a cover is removed.
Calibrate and Test
Print
Calibration might be needed if the symbol is on and code 624, 631, or 632
appears. Press the symbol to calibrate the upper or lower film cartridge.
• The symbol flashes while the calibration is in process, when making a test print
(upper or lower), and when you initiate a filter reset.
• When amber, there is an error such as a failed calibration. The indicator light
associates the error code to the film cartridge. Depending on the issue, you may
be able to keep printing (631 or 632 error), or it might be necessary to load a
different film cartridge (624 error).
To make a test print, press and hold the Calibrate symbol for three seconds until
the imager beeps twice. The test print varies depending on the type of film.
Pause
Important
To avoid exposing the film to light, do not open the film supply door until the Pause
symbol is off. Wait until the symbol is off to replace a cartridge.
• During most normal operation, including when the imager is idle, the symbol is
off.
•The symbol is on while the imager is processing images, test prints, and during
calibration.
•The symbol flashes when a film cartridge cover is in the process of being opened
(rolled back) or closed.
If the Pause symbol is on, you can press the symbol to temporarily pause printing.
Any jobs in progress finish printing, then the film cartridge cover closes. When the
Pause symbol turns off, you can open the film supply door.
Film Size When this symbol appears, the requested print job requires a different film size
and/or type. The required film size/type flashes in the location of the error or status
code.
You can also press this symbol for three seconds, until the imager beeps twice, to
cancel all pending print jobs that require an unavailable media size and/or type.
