DIGITAL LASER CAMERA INTERFACE PRINTING
Follow the steps beginning on the next page to print X-ray images on a laser camera.
NOTE: The screen displays shown here may vary slightly from those displayed on
your Workstation depending on your system. The following example uses
a 3M laser camera.
1. Switch on the main power to the Workstation with the keyswitch and wait for the
OEC logo to display on the right monitor.
2. Press the CUSTOMIZE key on the Workstation keyboard to display the
CUSTOMIZE OPERATION menu.
3. Press the down arrow key to select DEFINE PRINTER, then press ENTER to
display the DEFINE PRINTERS menu.
4. Enter data for each of the four DEFINE PRINTERS parameters. The following
example uses configuration #1 for a 3M laser camera (printer) with a 3x2 film matrix.
CONFIGURATION = 1
This is the designated number for one set of printing configurations; note that #1 is the
default. The system supports a total of 4 different configurations, hence the
configuration can only be 1, 2, 3, or 4. Pressing the right arrow key toggles to each
consecutive number. Select the desired configuration, then press the down arrow key.
NAME = 3M 3X2
The name will be used later when you’re asked to select the configuration for printing the
X-ray images (in step 11). You should create a name that you recognize as designating
the configuration parameters of the previously selected configuration (in this case, #1).
Type in an appropriate name, then press ENTER.
PRINTER TYPE = 3M
Press the right arrow key as many times as necessary to select the correct printer type,
then press the down arrow key.
FILM MATRIX = 3X2
The film matrix determines the printed format for the X-ray images in rows x columns.
The matrix choices are limited to those available from the selected printer. The total
number of images printed on one film sheet is the product of the two numbers. In this
example, the 3M printer will print a sheet with 6 images, in 3 rows and 2 columns, 2
images per row, 3 images per column. Press the right arrow key as many times as
necessary to select the desired matrix, then press ENTER.
5. Press ENTER again to store the previously entered data into configuration #1 (or
BACKSPACE to delete), then press ESC to get out of the DEFINE PRINTERS
menu and back to CUSTOMIZE OPERATION.
