6-4 Points of Consideration
6-4-1 Pixel Depth
Raw images taken by the Senographe system are in 14-bits. The pixel depth in the DICOM printer
parameters page defines the number of bits per pixel that are sent to the printer.
• When no pixel depth (10 or 12) is selected, the default value of 8-bits per pixel are sent to the printer.
• When the 10 pixel depth check box is selected, 10-bits per pixel are sent to the printer.
• When the 12 pixel depth check box is selected, 12-bits per pixel are sent to the printer.
Note:
If the pixel depth is set to 10-bits per pixel or 12-bits per pixel, there may be problems with images
printed from the Scrapbook. The recommended pixel depth setting is 8-bits per pixel.
6-4-2 Other Printer Parameters
If you witness problems with printing, check with the printer manufacturer field engineer that the other
printer parameters on the printer (i.e. port number, pixel size, configuration information, density, magnifi-
cation type, and smoothing factor) match the parameters set on the GE system.
