DIGITAL LASER CAMERA INTERFACE
The Laser Camera Interface system uses specially designed software and circuitry
which enables the operator to print multiple X-ray images with a laser camera. The Xray
images print out in a selected matrix format determined by the type of laser camera.
The Interface system supports the following laser cameras:
• 3M Laser Imager (P831) with Protocol MMU920
• 3M Laser Imager Plus (M952) restricted to Protocol MMU920
• Kodak Ektascan Laser Printer, with KCL protocol supports models 100, 100-XLP,
1120 and 2180
• Kodak Ektascan Image Manager (KEIM)
The user selects the number of images and their printed format. Each film sheet
contains the images in a specified number of rows and columns.
Note that selecting fewer images than the total number of slots on a film sheet results in
blank frames. Selecting more images than number of slots results in extra images, and
blank frames, printed on the last sheet of film.
Before printing X-ray images, ensure proper cable connections. The 37-pin D-sub
parallel connector, labeled LASER CAMERA INTERFACE, and the 9-pin serial
connector, labeled COM 1, are located on the rear of the Workstation panel as shown in
Figure 12.
