Agreement
Read the following terms and conditions carefully before using
this Software. Use of this Software indicates your acceptance of
these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with them, you
should promptly return the package in its entirety for a full
refund.
License Grant of License. Subject to payment of any fees set forth in any related
Quotation or Invoice, Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak") grants to
Customer a nonexclusive license to use one copy of the software on the
equipment (the "Software"). Kodak represents that it has title to or has the
right to license the Software. Customer agrees to use the Software only in
conjunction with the normal operation of the equipment, but not to use any
of the diagnostic software included with the Software to perform
maintenance service or for any other purpose without entering into a
separate license agreement with Kodak. Customer may not transfer the
Software, or any of their rights in the Software, to any other party without
the prior written consent of Kodak. The term Software as used in this
Agreement does not include, and this license does not apply to, any
Microsoft operating system software provided with the equipment. Any
Microsoft operating system software provided with the equipment is
governed by a separate software end user license agreement.
Improved or Modified Versions. This license also applies to any improved
or modified versions of the Software supplied to the Customer by Kodak
during the term of this Agreement.
Copying and Nondisclosure. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to
grant the Customer any proprietary rights in the computer program or any
other work embodied in the Software. Customer may not copy or alter, and
must take reasonable care to ensure that others do not copy or alter, the
Software, in whole or in part, in any media for any purpose, except that
Customer may make a copy as an essential step in the use of the Software
with their CPU. To every copy (whether in whole or in part) made by the
October 4, 2004 7F3319 3
Customer for the purposes stated above, the Customer must affix the same
copyright or other proprietary rights notice as was originally affixed to the
Software when delivered by Kodak. Customer may not otherwise reverse
engineer, decompile, or otherwise derive the source code for the Software
program.
Copyright. The Software is owned by Kodak or its suppliers and protected
by copyright laws and international treaties. You may not copy the Software
other than as expressly provided in this license. You may not reverse
engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software. If this Software is used
within a country of the European Union, nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as restricting any rights available under the European
Community Software Directive (91/250/EEC).
Term and Termination. This Software license will remain in effect for as
long as the Customer rightfully retains possession of the Software as
delivered by Kodak. However, this license will terminate immediately (i) if
the Customer transfers or modifies the Software except as provided under
this Agreement, (ii) upon an uncured default by the Customer of this
Agreement, or (iii) if the Customer becomes insolvent, makes an
arrangement for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to bankruptcy
proceedings. Within thirty (30) days after any expiration or termination of
this license, in whole or in part, the Customer agrees to deliver to Kodak all
copies of the Software or media (whether in whole or in part) in the
Customer's possession, or as to any copy not in the Customer's possession,
Customer agrees to certify in writing that the copy is either lost or has been
destroyed.
Software Upgrades. Enhancements and/or upgrades will be made available
to the Customer at a price not greater than the said item's list price and
may or may not be discounted according to Kodak's pricing structure at the
time of purchase.
Limited Warranty For a period of one year from and after installation of Software, Kodak
warrants that the Software will substantially conform to Kodak's
specifications and that the media on which the software is furnished will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
Kodak's sole obligation under this warranty will be limited to using
reasonable efforts to ensure such conformity and to supply Customer with a
corrected version of the Software as soon as practical after Customer has
notified Kodak of any non-conformity. Kodak does not warrant that: (i)
4 7F3319 October 4, 2004
operation of any of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free, or (ii)
functions contained in the Software will operate in the combinations which
may be selected for use by, or meet Customer's requirements. This
warranty will be void if the Software is modified without the written consent
of Kodak.
Subject to any applicable legislation which prohibits the following
exclusions, KODAK MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some
states and countries, including Australia, do not allow the exclusion of
implied warranties, or have legislation that imposes certain statutory
warranties that cannot be excluded, so the above exclusion may not apply
to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have
other rights.
Limitation of Remedies The remedies set forth above are Kodak's only obligation under the
warranty. IN NO EVENT WILL KODAK OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR DEALERS BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS, DOWNTIME COSTS, COST
OF SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE OR OTHER DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE EVEN IF
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some states and
countries, including Australia, do not allow the limitation or exclusion of
liability for incidental or consequential damages, or have legislation which
restricts the limitation or exclusion of liability, so the above limitation may
not apply to you.

governed by the laws of the State of New York. If purchased outside the
United States, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the country in
which it was purchased.

1 Introduction
Kodak DryView 8150
Laser Imager
The Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager is a continuous-tone laser imager
with an internal photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather than
photo chemicals, is used to develop the film. The Imager receives digital
images from medical image source devices (modalities) over a network.
The format that the Imager accepts is DICOM.
The Imager prints images on Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film that is
packed in 125-sheet cartridges. The Imager can accept blue or clear base
film in any of the following sizes:
11 x 14 in. DryView Film (28 x 35 cm)
Only one film size can be loaded in the Imager at a time.

Introduction
October 4, 2004 7F3319 1-3
How the Laser Imager
Works
The Imager is a network printer connected on a network along with one or
more medical imaging devices. It prints images sent over the network from
up to twelve medical imaging devices or workstations sending images
concurrently.
The Imager has hard-disk storage for a large number of digital images. As
images arrive, they are stored on the hard disk and placed in a print queue
(sequenced for printing) based on time of receipt and priority.
Because the Imager can store images, it can continue to accept incoming
print jobs even when the film cartridge is empty or the Imager is
temporarily unable to print.
Images that require a different film size or film type than is currently in the
Imager are placed in a separate "waiting for media" queue and a message
on the Local Panel reminds the operator to change film.

Introduction
During normal operation the Imager requires very little operator attention.
The Imager prints automatically in response to print requests from the
associated image devices. Information sent along with images by the
modalities, such as film size, density and priority, control the print
operations. Main operator responsibilities are loading film and monitoring
for malfunctions.
Print Sequence Each time the Imager prints a film, the following sequence occurs. (Refer to
the diagram on the following page.)
1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the
supply cartridge and feed the film into the film feed rollers.
2. The film feed rollers move the film down to the film platen (exposure
module).
3. The platen rollers move the film into the film platen.
4. The platen holds the film stationary while a scanning laser beam
exposes the film (writes the image onto the film).
5. After exposure, the platen rollers reverse direction and move the film
up to the transport rollers. These rollers then move the film up into
the film processor.
6. As the film passes over the rotating processor drum, heat from the
drum develops the film.
7. Rollers move the developed film from the processor drum, through
the densitometer and on to the receive tray.

2 Operation and Maintenance
Operator Control of the Imager
During normal operation, the Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager receives
and automatically prints images sent by modalities over a network. Very
little operator control is required. The main operator responsibilities are:
Turn Imager power ON or OFF.
Load film cartridges.
Monitor the number of prints remaining until preventive maintenance is
required.
Monitor and control some Imager functions using the Local Panel.

Operation and Maintenance
Turning Imager Power ON and OFF
Power ON The power switch is located on the back of the Laser Imager. To turn ON the
Imager, set the power switch to the "|" position. The Imager performs a
power-up self test that takes about five minutes. After some initial boot-up
screens, the Local Panel Home screen appears.
Local Panel Home Screen
After the power-up test, the Imager begins a warm-up period that lasts up to
25 minutes. The warm-up period varies depending on how long the Imager
has been turned OFF. During warm-up the Imager can receive and store
images but cannot print films. When the Imager reaches operating
temperature, it starts printing any images that have accumulated during the
warm-up period.
During warm-up you can use the Local Panel to check the contents of the
film cartridge and to open the front door to load a new film cartridge, if
necessary.
Power OFF Turn the Imager OFF if you do not expect to use it for an extended period of
time or to conserve electrical power.
1. Touch the Power Off button on the Home screen.

Power Failures In the event of a power loss, the Laser Imager shuts down. Any films in
process will not be completed.
To restart the Imager after power is restored, turn OFF the power switch on
the back of the Imager and then turn it ON. After warming up, the Imager
automatically reprints any films that were in process when power was
interrupted.

Using the Touch Screen Local Panel
The Local Panel displays a collection of screens that you can use to monitor
Imager operations and to control some Imager functions. You make menu
selections and navigate between Local Panel screens by lightly touching
buttons on the touch screen. There is a beep sound each time you touch a
button. This sound can be disabled if you wish.
CAUTION:
Use only your finger when selecting buttons on the screen. Using hard
objects, such as pens or pencils, can damage the surface of the touch
screen.
Home Screen The Home screen appears after the initial startup screens. It provides status
information about the current Imager operation and shows the contents of
the film tray. From this screen you can navigate to all other Local Panel
screens.
The Local Panel automatically returns to the Home screen from any other
screen after a few minutes if there is no operator input to the touch screen.

Image Resizing If the image sent from the modality is too large for the size of film in the
Imager, the Imager can resize the image to fit on the film by either of two
methods:
Minify - To reduce the image to fit on the selected film size.
Crop - To remove the edges of the image to allow it to fit on the
selected page size.
The resizing method is selected separately for each connected modality
when the Imager is setup. Refer to Selecting the Type of Image Resizing
on page 4-14.
Resizing is required when:
An image is too large to fit on the film currently loaded in the
Imager.
The modality sends an image with a requested image size
that the Imager cannot print.
When the Imager resizes an image, it prints an icon on the film to notify that
the image has been resized.
Refer to the following table for more information on the resizing methods.
2-46 7F3319 October 4, 2004
Image Resizing Methods
Resizing Method Icon Printed

Minify
The image file is reduced by the removal of
pixel data.
If the Minify choice was selected when the
Imager was setup, the Imager will minify an
image if:
1. The modality sends an image that is too large for
the film in the Imager. In this case the Minify icon
is printed on the film.
2. The modality requests an image size that the
Imager cannot print. In this case the Scale icon is
printed on the film.
Minify Icon
or
Scale Icon
Crop
The image perimeter is removed to allow the
image to print on the available film and at the
same scale as the anatomical area of interest.
To fit the image on the printable area of the
media, equal portions of the perimeter are
removed from the sides of the image and/or the
top and bottom of the image.
Cropping may be appropriate if the image is too
large to print on the available film, and the size
of the area of interest is important to retain.
NOTE:
If anatomical areas of interest are near an
outer edge of the image, they might be
removed from the image when it is printed.
Continued
Crop Icon
October 4, 2004 7F3319 2-47
Crop (continued)
Cropping allows true size printing for larger
images. True size printing provides a common
scale between images captured on analog
systems (those which use medical x-ray film
exposed by phosphor screens in cassettes)
and printed digital images. The anatomical area
of interest is printed at the same size that it is
captured on the analog system. Measurements
and comparisons between printed analog and
digital images are simplified.
For example, you request a CR image to print
35x43 cm on a laser imager which supports a
maximum print size of 33x41 cm. To make the
area of interest the same size as the captured
image, enable cropping.

Recycling Empty Film
Cartridges
In some regions you can return your empty Kodak DryView Film Cartridges
to Kodak for reuse and recycling. Contact your Kodak sales representative
to determine the availability of the film cartridge recycling program in your
region.
Returned cartridges are carefully inspected. Only components that meet
strict quality standards are reused. Components that do not meet the
standards are sent to recycling centers for reclamation.
This program is part of Kodaks commitment to reduce the environmental
impact of our products.
For additional information on the Kodak Recycling Program in the U.S. and
Canada, visit the Kodak Web site: www.kodak.com/go/KES
Running a Calibration
Print
You may occasionally have to request that the Imager print a calibration
print to calibrate the Imager. You may be asked to do this if you call for
service. You should also run a calibration print if a Not Calibrated status
message appears on the Home screen.
Calibration Prints Imager calibration is performed by printing a calibration print. The Imager
prints a calibration print when:
A film cartridge containing film with new sensitometric characteristics
(speed, contrast) is loaded.
The Imager has not printed film for 7 days.
The Dpatch (density patch) printed on the film is out of range. Applies to
35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.) film only.
You can also request a calibration print from the Local Panel.
A calibration print has a step wedge pattern, a series of 26 stripes of
increasing optical density. The only purpose of a calibration print is to
calibrate the Imager. You can discard all calibration prints.
Calibration Failure Occasionally, the Imager may fail calibration and will notify the operator
with an error message on the Local Panel. The most common cause is a film
problem. Depending on the cause, the Imager may be able to continue
operating after you acknowledge the error message. For more information
on calibration failure refer to Calibration Failure on page 3-6.

Operator Maintenance
Cleaning the
Laser Imager
Clean the outside surfaces of the Laser Imager as necessary. Use a soft cloth with warm
water and mild soap.
CAUTION:
Do not use isopropyl alcohol to clean the exterior surfaces of the
Laser Imager. Isopropyl alcohol can dissolve the exterior paint on the
Laser Imager.
Replacing the
Charcoal Filter
Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film emits a slight odor when it is heated during the
developing process. A charcoal filter in the Imager absorbs and neutralizes this odor.
The filter has a limited life and should be replaced periodically.
You can monitor the number of prints remaining until Preventive Maintenance (PM)
is due by viewing the Print Counts screen. (See Print Counts Screen on
page 2-28.) When the print count reaches the preset value, Preventive Maintenance
appears on the Home screen.
Home Screen
Kodak Field Engineers routinely install a new filter during the Preventive Maintenance
procedure. If your Laser Imager is covered by the Kodak Preventive
Maintenance Plan, you do not have to change the charcoal filter. (See
Preventive Maintenance on page 2-69.)
If you do not have the Kodak Preventive Maintenance Plan, replace the charcoal filter
Preventive Maintenance
Notice
2-68 7F3319 October 4, 2004
if the odor becomes noticeable or when "Preventive Maintenance" appears on the
Home screen.
CAUTION:
The charcoal filter is considered non-hazardous waste by the US EPA
Resource Recovery Act. Under RCRA, you may dispose of filters in a
landfill or incinerator with energy recovery in a municipal,

Troubleshooting
Calibration Failure
Periodically the Imager must be calibrated to ensure that internal settings
match the characteristics of the film in the Imager. Calibration is performed
by running a calibration print. The Imager runs a calibration print when:
A film cartridge containing film with new sensitometric characteristics
(speed, contrast) is loaded.
The Imager has not printed film for 7 days.
The Dpatch (density patch) printed on the film is out of range.
The operator can also request a calibration print from the Local Panel.
For more information on calibration, see Running a Calibration Print on
page 2-53.
Occasionally, the Imager may fail calibration. When this occurs, the Local
Panel displays an error message screen. Depending on the cause of the
calibration failure, the Imager may or may not be able to continue
operating.
There are four conditions that cause calibration failure. The four error
message screens, below and on the next page, describe these error
conditions and show recommended operator actions.
These two errors indicate possible film aging. You can elect to continue
operation with the current film by touching Yes on the error screen.
Troubleshooting
October 4, 2004 7F3319 3-7
These two calibration errors indicate a major machine or film fault. The
Imager cannot continue to operate with the current film.
If you cannot restore normal operation by following the recommended
action on the error message screen, call for service. (See Calling for
Support on page 3-17.)

4 Adding a Modality
After the Imager has been placed into service, you can later configure the
Imager to print images from additional modalities. The Imager is capable of
receiving images from twelve DICOM-compatible modalities concurrently.
Adding a modality involves adjusting some of the image quality settings in
the Imager to match the new modality. The following procedure explains
how to add one new modality.
NOTE: You must have the Service Passcode to perform this
procedure.
Preparing to Add a Modality
Before you begin, make sure that the new modality has been set up to
print to the Imager. The Imager must be available as a print destination
in the modality print command.
You will need the following information about the modality:
The modality manufacturer
The modality type (CT, MR, etc.)
The modality model designation
The type and size of film to be used
Is the modality GSDF-compliant?
If GSDF-compliant, does the modality use PLUTs for all images it
sends or only for some images?
You should also decide on a screen name for the modality. This name
will be used only on the Imager Local Panel to identify the modality
4-2 7F3319 October 4, 2004
Adding a Modality
Modality-Related Parameters
The Imager must be configured to print from each connected modality. In
the Imager a set of modality-specific parameters must be created for each
modality that will print to the Imager.
For many modalities, the required parameters can be taken from the
"Modality Preferences Database" (MPDB). This internal database, within
the Imager, contains tested parameter sets for many commonly used
modalities.
Modality configuration is accomplished in three ways:
First Print - When a modality prints to the Imager for the first time, the
Imager automatically attempts to identify the type of modality from
information included in the print job. If the Imager identifies the
modality, it searches for a parameter set in the MPDB. If an appropriate
parameter set is not found, the Imager assigns a universal set of
parameters to the modality. If the parameter set does not produce
acceptable prints, the installer can go on to the
"Manufacturer/Model/Type" procedure.
Manufacturer/Model/Type - If the automatic search in the MPDB is
not successful, the installer can enter the Manufacturer, Model and Type
of the modality on the Local Panel. The Imager uses this information to
search the MPDB again for a set of parameters. A universal parameter
set is applied if an approprialte parameter set is not found. If the
parameter set is not acceptable, the Installer must use the Manual Entry
method.
Manual Entry - The installer can enter or adjust individual modality
parameter values on several modality configuration screens.
For each of the above methods, the user must print a clinical image and
check image quality to determine if the parameter set is acceptable.
The user can use a combination of manual entry and one of the other two
methods. For example, the user may accept the "First Print" parameter set
but adjust one or two of the parameters manually to suit local preferences.
The parameter set selected using the above methods is placed in a
"Connection Database" in the Imager and used to print all images from the
modality. The Connection Database contains a separate parameter set for
each modality associated with the Imager.

5 Optimizing Image Quality
Image Quality Parameters
If the quality of an image printed by the Imager is not acceptable, you will
have to enter new values for the parameters shown on the "Image quality"
screen. This section provides basic information that will help you select and
enter values for these parameters that are appropriate to the type of
modality that sent the image.
The "Image quality" parameters include:
Image Density - A setting that determines the maximum density
(Dmax) that will be used in printing.
Border density - The density of the border of the film.
TFT Set - A group of 15 Transfer Function Tables (TFTs) used in Kodak
Imagers. Each TFT in the set is a grayscale curve that relates each digital
input (pixel) value to a target value of perceived brightness and a
corresponding target value of printed optical density.
Table number - A number (1- 15) which specifies a particular TFT
(contrast curve) in the TFT Set selected for printing.
The Advanced Parameters
are "Polarity" and "Smoothing
Type."
5-2 7F3319 October 4, 2004
Optimizing Image Quality
Advanced - Includes two parameters:
Polarity - In general, indicates whether an image is black on a
white background or the reverse. In this case, specifies whether the
Imager will print images with the same polarity as the images sent
from the modality (Positive), or the reverse (Negative).
Smoothing Type - A value (1 - 15) that specifies a level of
smoothness/sharpness in transition between density differences.
Selecting the Image Quality Parameter Values
Use Table 1 (on page 5-4) and Table 2(on page Page 5-8) to select the
image quality parameters. The parameter selections are based on modality
type. They also depend on whether the modality is GSDF-compliant. (GSDF
stands for Grayscale Standard Display Function.)
To select the parameters:
If the modality is not GSDF-compliant, go to Non-GSDF Modalities
below.
If the modality is GSDF-compliant and does not use PLUTs or uses PLUTs
for only some images, go to GSDF-Compliant Modalities on page 5-9.
(PLUT stands for Presentation Look-Up Table.)
If the modality is GSDF-compliant and uses PLUTs for all images, it is not
necessary to change the image quality values in the Imager. Continue
with Setting the Advanced Parameters on page 4-11.
Non-GSDF Modalities Use this procedure to select parameters for modalities that are not GSDF-
Compliant.
Write down the parameter values you select.
1. Refer to Table 1 and find the Modality Type for which the Imager is
being configured.
2. Choose the TFT Set recommended in the table for this type of
modality. If more than one TFT Set is listed, read the Notes in the table
for guidance in selecting the appropriate set.
3. Choose the Table No. (contrast setting) recommended for the chosen
TFT Set. If a number is in boldface type, choose this number first. (You
may have to try more than one Table Number.)
October 4, 2004 7F3319 5-3
4. Choose the Image Density associated with the Table No. you chose.
If there is a range of density values:
Choose the density value indicated in bold if there is one.
If there is no bold value, choose the middle value. For example, if
the range is 2.7 to 3.1, choose 2.9.
If there are only 2 density values, choose either one.
5. Choose the Smoothing Type from Table 1.
6. For Border Density on the film, choose a low density for a clear
border and a high density for a black border. Typically this density is
matched to the Image Density. (This parameter is not included in
Table 1.)
7. For Polarity of the film, choose either Positive or Negative. Positive is
used for most applications. Negative is used by Nuclear Medicine
modalities. (This parameter is not included in Table 1.)
8. Continue with Entering the Image Quality Parameters on page 5-10.

7 Film Technical Information
General Description
This section describes the characteristics of Kodak DryView Laser Imaging
Film, not the operation of the Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager. DryView
Laser Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive,
photothermographic film designed specifically for the family of Kodak
DryView Laser Imagers. DryView Laser Imaging Film is packaged in
daylight load packages, available in blue or clear, 7-mil polyester base.
The 8150 Laser Imager accepts three film sizes:
(28 x 35 cm) 11 x 14 in.
(35 x 35 cm) 14 x 14 in.
(35 x 43 cm) 14 x 17 in.
Spectral Sensitivity DryView Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to
the infrared laser diode of DryView Laser Imagers. When handled
according to instructions on the daylight-load film package, safelights are
not needed. If you remove undeveloped film from the daylight load
package, you will need a darkroom setting and a green safelight.

Film Technical Information
Relative Log Exposure (Example)
Image Quality DryView Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone
images along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This
high-quality, silver-based film provides radiologists with the same diagnostic
information they are accustomed to viewing - including the spatial
resolution, contrast and grey levels. Because it is a totally dry imaging
process, there is no image quality variability due to wet chemistry.
Automatic Image Quality
Control
DryView Laser Imaging Film is system-matched for the Kodak patented
Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) technology. This fully automated
system, which is a standard feature of DryView Laser Imagers, is designed
to ensure that image quality parameters meet preset user preferences,
film-to-film, lot-to-lot.
Environmental Impact Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous to
the environment. As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of film
with less impact on the environment than if you were using wet-developed
silver halide films.

Recycling Film According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards,
DryView Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous and requires no
special disposal procedures. However, the film does contain silver and
polyester that may be recovered by using one of several recycling processes.

Refer to Publication J700 and see End of Life Management' section.
Storing and Handling
Undeveloped Film
To achieve consistent results up to the expiration date indicated on the film
package, DryView Laser Imaging Film must be stored in a cool, dry place
(41 F/5 C to 77 F/25 C) and protected from radiation and chemistry
fumes.
The film can withstand short-term temperature spikes (up to 95 F/35 C)
for several hours during transit without any significant effect on film quality
or performance. Transit temperatures above 95 F/35 C will gradually
diminish shelf life. If the AIQC encounters film that has been damaged by
improper handling, the AIQC will automatically alert system operators.

Handling Developed Film Handling DryView Laser Imaging Film requires reasonable care.
Prolonged exposure to intense light or excessive heat (130 F/54.4 C) for
more than 3 hours may cause some gradual darkening of images. Leaving
films in vehicles in hot climates for extended periods of time is not
recommended.
Spills, humidity and other forms of water typically have no significant effect
on image quality or film integrity. If necessary, film can be cleaned with a
clean, damp cloth.
For best results, store film in sleeves when not being reviewed. DryView
Laser Imaging Film can be left on a light box for more than 24 hours. In
extreme cases in which light boxes are exceptionally hot (120 F/49 C),
Kodak recommends removing them prior to 8 hours of continuous
exposure.
Take care when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds because
temperatures near the light source may exceed 180 F/82.2 C. Use in slide
projectors is not recommended due to the high temperatures generally
found in these devices.
With DryView technology, a small amount of final development occurs
when the film exits the Laser Imager and is initially exposed to ambient or
view-box lighting. This is virtually undetectable and has no effect on image
quality (i.e., typically 0.02 change in density). This small density increase is
uniform and permanent upon full exposure of the film under normal
handling conditions (i.e., room light or view box).
Archiving Developed Film DryView Laser Imaging Film has been tested and can be archived for more
than 100 years when stored at American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
recommended storage conditions (77 F/25 C). Developed films may be
stored at higher temperatures; however, that may reduce the number of
years the film can be stored. For example, storing films at a constant
elevated temperature of 90 F/32.2 C may reduce archive capability to 30
years.
Dissipating Odor DryView technology eliminates virtually all unpleasant odors. While some
low-level odors are produced during the development process, they pose
no known adverse health risks. Processing odor levels are further reduced
by a non-hazardous, recyclable filter in the Laser Imager. This filter traps
most low-level odors and prevents them from dissipating into the work
October 4, 2004 7F3319 7-5
environment. To help maintain optimum performance, the filter requires
periodic replacement. DryView Laser Imagers require no special venting.
Dissipating Heat DryView Laser Imagers use controlled heat to develop DryView Laser
Imaging Film. The heat has virtually no effect on the air temperature of the
work area. The amount of heat dissipated into an area during a day is
typically less than the heat generated by four 100-watt light bulbs.
