Overview
How the Laser Imager Works
The imager is a network printer connected on a network along with one or
more medical imaging devices. It prints images sent over the network from
medical imaging devices or workstations sending images concurrently.
The imager has hard-disk storage for a large number of digital images. As
images arrive, they are stored on the hard disk and placed in a print queue
(sequenced for printing) based on time of receipt and priority. Because the
imager can store images, it can continue to accept incoming print jobs even
when the film cartridge is empty or the imager is temporarily unable to
print. Images that require a different film size or film type than is currently
in the imager are placed in a separate “waiting for media” queue and a code
on the local panel reminds the operator to change film.
During normal operation, the imager requires very little operator attention.
The imager prints automatically in response to print requests from the
associated image devices. Information sent along with print requests, such
as film size, density and priority, control the print operations. Main operator
responsibilities include loading film and monitoring for malfunctions.
