4-4 Printing from DICOM Applications
The Horizon imager supports multiple Job Settings files, each of
which can define unique sets of sheet and image settings. A Job
Settings file can specify values for some or all sheet and image
settings. Settings include the media size and type, border color,
Dmax or Dmin, etc.
Categories of Job Settings
There are two categories of Job Settings:
•
System Job Settings.
These Job Settings files come
preconfigured in the Horizon imager. They include a Job Setting
for each media type and size combination, for the three receive
trays, and for the three job priorities. For a complete list of the
system Job Settings files, refer to Appendix B.
•
Custom Job Settings.
These Job Settings are created at the user
site. They can be entered at the control panel, or by sending a
text file to the imager via FTP or LPR protocols. The procedures
for creating custom Job Settings files are described in the
Horizon
Imager Technical Manual
.
Specifying a Job Settings File from a
DICOM User Application
Since the Horizon imager supports multiple Job Settings files, and
since those files are controlled by entering special Called AE Titles,
it is common to have several printer configurations set up in a
DICOM user application all pointing to a single Horizon imager. A
typical setup strategy creates separate profiles by media size and
type.
For example, the System Job Settings file that specifies
DirectVista
8 x 10 blue film is
8x10-dvfb
. To specify
DirectVista
8 x 10 blue
film for a print job, the DICOM user application would use
8x10-dvfb
as the Called AE Title when starting a Print Service Class
session with the Horizon imager. The DICOM user application may
also print color. Therefore, there will be a second printer setup on
the SCU with the AE title
a-cvp
.
