Dry technology for printing diagnostic quality hard copies in full daylight offers
tremendous advantages: no chemistry, no processors, simple cleaning procedures, no time-consuming adjustments, no darkroom and no chemical disposal
costs.
The direct thermal printing system provides grayscale images (B&W) with laserlike quality, 300 DPI resolution, 256 gray levels and an average optical density
of 3.
The built-in image spooling on hard disk assures a high throughput. Printing
time is kept to a minimum.
The Drystar 2000 allows to choose from working in four different print modes:
black & white mode, color mode, dual mode and consecutive mode.
With its compact design, the Drystar 2000 is easy to maintain and requires little
work space.

The Drystar 2000 may be installed and used in operating, examination, treatment and other rooms where flammable anesthetic mixtures are present on
condition that the following rules are followed:
Install and use the printer and its accessory equipment at a distance of at least
30 cm / 1 foot away from any device or source which might discharge flammable anesthetic mixtures or from which such mixtures may leak. Ensure that this
clearance is maintained over the entire circumference and under any operating
condition of either equipment.
Consult your regulatory body/safety officer responsible for the safety within the
room to designate suitable locations within the room. Do not install the printer in
case of uncertainty.
Never relocate the printer when a safe operating position has been established.
The mixture of the vapor of flammable disinfection or cleaning agent with air is
considered a flammable anesthetic mixture. In this case, the same safety instructions apply.
Using the Drystar 2000 near flammable anesthetic mixtures while not
complying with the above safety instructions may lead to explosion!
The person installing the printer is responsible for observing the safety
instructions.

Operating modes
The Drystar 2000 supports four operating modes: B&W only, color only, dual
mode and consecutive mode.
In B&W mode, only black and white images can be acquired, stored and
printed. Combined processing of black and white and color images is not possible.
In color mode, only color images can be acquired, stored and printed. As in
B&W mode, you cannot combine black and white and color image processing.
B&W MODE
2601A GB 19990825
COLOR MODE

26-08-99 11:27
In dual mode, both B&W and color images can be acquired, stored and printed.
The images are grouped on a separate B&W and color frame layout. Once the
frame is completed, or upon request of the user, frames are stored in folders in
the print queue. The B&W films are printed on a B&W printer (e.g. to an LR 3300
or to a Drystar 2000), while the color films are printed on a color printer (e.g. a
Drystar 2000).
Consecutive mode supports, just like dual mode, both black and white and
color image acquisition. However, in this mode, all images are grouped in the
order they are taken in, on one and the same frame layout. After completion of
the frame, or upon request of the user, the frames are stored in folders in the
print queue. If a folder contains one or more color images, the film is printed on
a color printer. If the folder contains black and white images only, the film is
printed on a B&W printer (e.g. to an LR 3300 or to a Drystar 2000).

A folder is a collective term used for any collection of images. Newly acquired
images are gathered in a folder. Folders are digital means of managing images.
A film is the physical sheet on which images are actually printed. Two types of
film are available for the Drystar 2000:
For printing high-quality color images, Drystar Thermo-Sublimation film (TS) should
be used. Thermo-sublimation film can be opaque, or either blue-based or clear-based.
For printing high-density grayscale images, Drystar Thermo-Monochrome film (TM)
should be used. Thermo-monochrome film is blue-based.
Always make sure that the Drystar 2000 is loaded with the appropriate consumables
before printing:
Film should be loaded in a film tray that is encoded specifically for that type of film.
For information on how to encode a film tray, refer to page 97.
After inserting a tray with thermo-sublimation film, make sure that a donor ribbon is
present. If you are using thermo-monochrome film, make sure that the donor ribbon
is removed. For detailed information, refer to page 104.

Film-based folders are folders which contain the images of one film. This means
you can acquire as many images as there are locations available on the currently selected frame on the display. When the frame is completed, it is printed
automatically on a single film.
Study-based folders are folders which can contain the images of one or more
films. This means that before your films are printed, you can continue acquiring
images regardless of the number of locations available on the selected frame on
the display. When a frame is completed, a new frame is presented belonging to
the same folder. After finishing the study, the folder is printed on as many films
as there are frames in the folder.
Although working with film-based folders or study-based folders is an element
of the printer configuration, it may affect the behavior of the Drystar 2000:
Pressing p in a film-based folder terminates image acquisition in the current folder.
The folder is printed.
Pressing p in a study-based folder continues image acquisition on an empty frame
in the same folder. The folder is not printed until the study is finished.
Folders are identified by a random folder reference that is generated automatically by the Drystar 2000. Nonetheless, the Drystar 2000 can be configured to
prompt for a custom folder identification (e.g. a patient name). Refer to page 47.
In this manual, when referred to printing, this means that processing of the frame is
started, or in other words that the frame is being prepared for print-out. Remember
that actual printing can only take place if the Drystar is loaded with the appropriate
consumables. Refer to chapter 7, Consumables, for detailed information.

The Drystar 2000 features over 50 parameters, all of which can be defined for
optimal image quality in relation to the specificity of the image. Film format,
color separation, polarity, minimum and maximum background density are a few
examples of such parameters.
Exam settings
The values of more than 50 image quality parameters can be correctly set
according to the specific requirements of a particular examination. The term
Exam Settings is used when referring to pre-defined values of the image quality parameters.
Exam sets
A unit of exam settings, with image quality parameters optimally tailored for the
needs of one specific examination, is called an Exam Set. By using exam sets,
such a unit can be given a recognizable name, e.g. 8x10 4/0 Abdomen. In this
exam set, up to four images can be acquired on an 8x10 frame. The word
Abdomen reminds the user that this exam set has the appropriate exam settings
for Abdomen examinations.
Exam groups
Exam Groups are a practical means of grouping related exam sets. An exam
group can be given an appropriate name, reminding the user of the type of
exam sets in the group. Exam group names, for example, can refer to particular
examinations (such as Abdomen or Thorax) or to examinations carried out by
a particular user (such as Dr. Patterson or Dr. Jones).
However, regardless of their name and initial purpose, all exam groups and
exam sets can be used at any time by any user.
When the Drystar 2000 is installed, the printer is configured according to user preferences, but exam groups, exam sets and exam settings can always be redefined. Refer
to chapter 5, Customizing the Drystar 2000.

Make sure that the Drystar 2000 is loaded with the appropriate consumables.
The film tray must be encoded according to the type of film to be used. The presence of
the donor ribbon is essential for color printing, but the donor ribbon must be removed for
B&W printing. Refer to chapter 7, Consumables, for detailed information.
Check that the power cord is plugged in and then switch on the Drystar 2000.
The socket end of the power cord should be plugged into the receptacle on the back of
the printer, and the other end into a grounded AC outlet. Press on the on/off switch to
switch the printer on.
The Drystar 2000 is intended to be electrically grounded. Do not defeat the purpose of
the grounding plug. Contact a licensed electrician in case no grounded AC outlet is
provided.
Check the status LEDs and the messages on the keypad and on the front panel
display.
The printer takes a few minutes to initialize. At startup, the power status LED lights up, all
other LEDs should be off. If any other status LED is on, see Chapter 8, Troubleshooting.

Introduction
This section focuses on the basic operating principles of the Drystar 2000. It will
explain how to acquire images and store them in a folder, and how to perform
some basic management of images and folders.
The difference between basic and advanced operation merely depends on your
printer configuration. You should therefore read only one of the chapters. Read
this introduction page carefully to decide what procedures are best suited to
your needs.
This chapter describes the acquisition of images in B&W mode and in color
mode, as those are the two most commonly used modes. If your printer is configured for B&W mode or for color mode, read the acquisition procedure in this
chapter. If your printer is configured for working in either dual mode or consecutive mode, refer to chapter 4, Advanced operation.
This chapter also describes the following basic operating procedures that are
valid regardless of your printer configuration:
assigning emergency priority,
deleting images,
changing the frame layout,
changing the number of copies,
managing the print queue.
2601A GB 19990825

26-08-99 11:28
Page 28
When you work in B&W mode, you can acquire and print black and white
images only. In color mode, only color images can be acquired and printed. The
acquisition procedure is identical for both modes.
The Exam group screen is the starting point for image acquisition.

printed. The other folders remain in the print queue until the right consumables
are available.

The film tray holder contains an extra tray which can be filled in advance. If the
printer film tray becomes empty, it can simply be replaced by the preloaded
one.
The donor frame storage box holds a donor frame which can be loaded beforehand. When the donor ribbon is completely used, you can replace the donor
frame in a few moments.
Push the film tray to open it. Slide the tray out of the printer.
If a film tray is removed from the printer, you should check that there are no sheets left in
the prefeed section. Remove any sheets to avoid film jams or the use of inappropriate film
when re-inserting the tray. Once the film tray is removed, protect it as much as possible
from dust infiltration.

By inserting pins in appropriate encoding slots [3] on the bottom edge of the tray, a tray
can be encoded to be used only with a specific film type.
A pin should click firmly into position when inserted. Make sure the base of the pin is
aligned as shown in the figure.

many encoding pins are to be inserted and in which slots according to the type of film
that will be used. Refer to the instructions on the following pages to determine how to
encode a tray correctly and uniquely for a specific type of Drystar 2000 film.
When a new film tray is to be encoded, the following stickers should be applied
according to the type of film that will be used in the tray.
The sticker holds 4 labels, one of which should be applied to the front of the tray. Refer to
the instructions on the following pages to select the appropriate label according to the
type of film that will be used in the tray.
Four stickers are included, one of which should be applied to the inside of the tray as a
warning that the tray only should be loaded with the appropriate film type.
Use one of the red background stickers (the one with your language) if thermo-sublimation film is to be used.
Use one of the white background stickers (the one with your language) if thermomonochrome film is to be used.

Push the film tray to open it. Slide the tray out of the printer.
If the film tray is removed before it is completely empty, check that there are no sheets
left in the prefeed section. Remove any sheets to avoid film jams when re-inserting the
tray. Once the film tray is removed, protect it as much as possible from dust infiltration.
Open a film pack, making sure that the tray you are using is correctly encoded
for the film type to be used.
The lower film is a protection sheet. It will be detected by the printer and automatically
fed through. DO NOT remove the protection sheet!
Place the film sheets with the hole in the corresponding notch against the back
of the tray.
To avoid jams, align the sheets correctly in the film tray. Always load a complete package
of 100 films in a film tray (no more, no less).

The Queue screen is divided into two sections. On the left you see the items in the job
queue identified by a job number followed by the folder reference. On the right information is displayed concerning the highlighted item in the job queue.
For the highlighted item in the queue, the information on the first line can be: processing,
waiting, warning or error. The latter two indicate that there is a print queue problem. If
such is the case, proceed with the following step.
Make sure that the printer is loaded with the appropriate consumables.
Check the information as displayed on the right hand side of the screen and compare this
to the actually loaded consumables (e.g. the printer may need thermo-sublimation film
while thermo-monochrome film is loaded).
Refer to chapter 7, Consumables, for detailed information.

If a full package of 100 films was loaded, the internal counter of the Drystar can
detect the last sheet and the last but one. Those two sheets will pass through
the printer without being used.
If the blank film is not the last (or last but one) sheet of the tray, try the following
remedies (if the problem is solved by one of the actions, you do not need to
continue the procedure).
Check that the donor ribbon is present or removed according to the film on
which printing takes place.
Refer to chapter 7, Consumables, for the detailed procedure.
Check that the appropriate film is correctly loaded on the Drystar 2000.
Refer to chapter 7, Consumables, for detailed procedures.

Open the printer top cover and remove the donor frame.
The donor frame should be stored in a dustfree place (e.g. in the donor frame storage
box).
Gently pass over the resistor line a few times with isopropanol or CAWO screencleaner liquid, using a dust-free and fibre-free cloth. Do this only in one direction, i.e. from left to right, without lifting the cloth.
Only use isopropanol or Cawo screencleaner liquid to remove dirt from the resistor line.
Only these two products are tested and approved. Refer to page 132 for the appropriate
order code.
