The EasyVision is delivered without any cables (data & control) for imager interfacing.
Only for imagers connected to the Ethernet (DICOM, FTP or HSTP protocol) the network kits are available.
One of these is normally always present.
The maximum total SCSI cable length is 3 meter. With EasyVision system R4.2 a maximum configuration of 2.9
meter is used (without the CD recordable option 1.7 meter). Depending on the SUN system installed a SCSI
wide (68 pins) or SCSI narrow (50 pins) connector is used.
The correct cables including a SCSI booster are supplied with the Codonics printer (if ordered via Philips). In
case you connect an other type of SCSI printer you must never exceed the maximum of 3 meter. The following
cables can be ordered:
• 4522 163 15581: 0.15 meter (50P - 50P), to connect from the CD recordable to the SCSI booster.
• 2422 076 00278: 1.0 meter (68P - 50P), to connect from the peripheral 4 enclosure (used in the SUN
ULTRA) to the SCSI booster.
• 4522 090 02811: 1.0 meter (50P - 50P), to connect from the peripheral 4 enclosure (used in the SUN SS-5)
to the SCSI booster.
• 4522 500 36841: SCSI booster 110V
• 4522 500 36831: SCSI booster 230V
• 4522 500 36821: SCSI cable 15 feet
1.4.1. EasyPrint
The EasyVision print function is called 'EasyPrint'. EasyPrint takes a quite different approach to printing than
most medical modalities. Traditional systems send single images to the camera and depend on the camera to
layout the images on the sheet. This leads to duplication of demographic data on every image, resulting in films
cluttered with text. EasyVision on the contrary composes the entire layout itself, giving unparalleled control over
image quality and excellent flexibility in sheet composition, while at the same time minimizing the area taken up
by text. Site and sheet specific data are contained in headers and footers, while image text is only printed if
necessary and if desired. As the entire film sheet is prepared by EasyPrint and the laser camera is only used to
print it, the film layout does not depend on the layouts offered by the various imager manufacturers. EasyPrint
may print using predefined layout protocols, but manual composition of a layout is also possible. That is why
EasyPrint offers, for any imager, such a wide variety of layouts, including combinations of large and small
images and non-square layouts for shuttered studies.
The printing of an entire film set can be initiated from EasyVision itself by selecting a study and placing it in the
EasyVision internal hardcopy spooler. All processing will be performed in the background by EasyVision.
If the imager allows film size and/or type selection the user may select film size and/or type to print on. If the
film size or type is not currently and the imager supports film size and/or type detection, the print will be held in
the queue of the EasyVision.
EasyVision may be configured to allow only selection of the film size and type locally used. The locally not
available film sizes and film types must be deselected. If these are not deselected the operator / user is may
erroneously specify them, but they will be put in the queue and never printed unless the required film becomes
available.
On a Server or a Single user workstation a point to pint connection to a printer can be present. Required for this
is a Sbus / PCI HCU control board. The data and control cables are not delivered with the EasyVision, but are
part of the imager.
1.4.3.2. SCSI
On a Server, Workspot or Single user workstation a SCSI printer can be connected. The maximum distance of
the SCSI chain is 3 meter. Depending on the configuration special SCSI cables and hardware are required.
See the specific SCSI printers for the possibilities.
1.4.3.3. Ethernet
On a Server or a Single user workstation a network printer can be connected. Depending on the printer the
following protocols are used:
• R4.2.x.x
− DICOM
− HSTP (Sterling Helios)
On a Server, Workspot or Single user workstation (Depending on the release) a post script printer can be
connected.
1.4.4. Resolution
EasyVision internal image data calculations are 12 bits wide. Depending on the connected printer and the
protocol the images are sent to the printer in:
• 8 Bits Grey
• 12 Bits Grey
• Color
• HiRes 8 Bits Grey
• HiRes 12 Bits Grey
Note: Color printing can be done in Pixel Interleaved (RGB_PI) or Band Interleaved (RGB_BI)
The memory size required in the imager depends on the used film resolution and pixel depth.
Calculation is as follows:
• 8 bit Grey
Matrix size: e.g. 4256 * 5174 (14 * 17”)
Required memory 4256 * 5174 = 22MB
• 12 bit Grey
Matrix size: e.g. 4256 * 5174 (14 * 17”)
Required memory 4256 * 5174 * 2= 44MB
The memory size as calculated is most of the times not the standard available. Each printer supplier has
different building blocks e.g. 16MB or 32MB. The installed memory must be larger than the calculated memory
required.
Because EasyVision is film-oriented, it will compose an entire film sheet and send it to the imager as one sheet-
filling image (a one on one format).
EasyVision does all image data calculations, including LUT operations itself. Before an imager is used with
EasyVision a calibration must be performed. EasyVision uses this calibration data. There is some disadvantage
in doing all image data calculations in EasyVision:
• The actual response of the camera is measured and entered as a reference used by EasyVision. Changes
or re-calibration of the laser will require a re-calibration of EasyVision.
Previously EasyVision lookup operations were 8-bit, causing holes in the histogram. With the introduction of
Release 4.2 all calculations are 12 Bit wide.
When multiple EasyVisions are connected in a cluster / network, the density calibration must be performed on
the EasyVision which is connected to the imager.
All laser imagers that are released within PMS have a lookup table that can print a linear perception step
pattern. If this lookup table is applied, there is no need for calibration in the host. However, fluctuations in film
and processor chemicals will influence the output. The first step to be taken is to calibrate the laser imager.
Procedure:
1. Calibrate the laser camera for a maximum density of 3.0
2. Print a linear test pattern from the host in 16 steps.
3. Measure the 16 values.
4. If the 16 measured values are within the limits below, make sure that the host uses a linear lookup table.
5. If the 16 values are outside the range, first check the film, the processor and the lookup table in the
camera, before calibrating the host
The true size calibration for point to point (PCI) and network imagers must be performed on the EasyVision
Server or Single user workstation.
The true size calibration for SCSI imagers must be performed on the EasyVision Server, Workspot or Single
user workstation.
NOTE
If the laser imager is re-adjusted, you must verify the density and the true size film calibration.
________________
This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
1.6.1. PCI
1. Symptom
Images printed directly from the MR or CT do not have the same look as images printed via the EasyVision.
Cause
The MR and CT system do not have calibration possibilities and use the lookup table in the printer.
The images printed via EasyVision are calibrated to the target curve. The two input channels of the printer
use the same lookup table. Although the target curve for the EasyVision equals the lookup table curve of
the printer input, there will still be a difference in density between the two channels.
Remedy
Calibrate the EasyVision with the default values instead of the measured values and fill in the minimum and
maximum density values in the EasyVision menu. The EasyVision is now calibrated linear.
Now both channels will have the same density values.
2. Symptom
EasyVision cannot contact the imager.
Cause
Bad communication for some reason.
Remedy
Try to diagnose the control line for a PCI connected imager. Verify the network connection for a Ethernet
connected imager.
3. Symptom
Application does not start up and returns to the start-up menu.
Cause
The printer connected interferes with the application.
Remedy
Disconnect the data and control line and verify if the application works properly. The problem also occurred
with a DuPont imager and was reproducible.
4. Symptom
A black screen with the copyright panel is visible on the CRT and the system is in a hang-up situation.
Cause
The printer connected interferes with the application.
Remedy
Disconnect the data and control line and verify if the application works properly. If so, the AGFA input board
is probably defect. The problem is reproducible.
5. Symptom
Some times bad communication.
Cause
The data and control cable can not make proper contact with the EasyVision split box due to too long fixing
nuts.
Remedy
Replace the split box with a splitable 12NC: 4522 106 05441.
1.6.2. DICOM
1. Symptom
Bad image quality on DICOM printers.
Cause
An EV DICOM print does not give a proper Image Quality (byte swap).
The problem occurs with Agfa DICOM printers when Explicit Big Endian has been configured. If done with
Automatic configuration Explicit Big Endian is enabled.
Remedy
Use Implicit Little Endian ONLY!!!!!!!. Solved in R4.2.
The Printer Test program tests the combination of the software (which is configured for a specific printer) and
the Printer connected to EasyVision. The test runs as a 'stand-alone' program (separate from the Application)
but uses the same imager protocol handlers as the Application does.

The printer does not give the correct logout response after a correct data transfer.
Remedy
Is introduced by Agfa with MEGA 3.32 and solved with R4.2. and onwards by increasing the timeout to 1
minute. If no EasyVision R4.2 the only solution is swap the DAVID CPU board for a GEMINI CPU board
which did solve the problem.
2. Symptom
Only one film sheet printed and the printer is in a hang-up situation and displays on the keypad error B019.
Cause
Incorrect software loaded at the Agfa printer side.
Remedy
Agfa must install correct software.
3. Symptom
Film size 14*14” not printed.
Cause
The matrix size is not correct implemented, landscape instead of portrait.
Remedy
Deselect the 14*14” film format. Solved in release 4.2.
1. Symptom
Film size 14*14” not printed.
Cause
The matrix size is not correct implemented, landscape instead of portrait.
Remedy
Deselect the 14*14” film format. Solved in release 4.2.
2. Symptom
No film is printed.
Cause
The maximum density, sent by DICOM is not within the calibrated range of the film (DICOM warning
0x0116).
Remedy
Make sure that the maximum density sent by EasyVision is 3.00 OD and Agfa must put the setting for
maximum OD to at least 3.20 OD.
3. Symptom
The print job goes into ERROR on the keypad of the imager. On the engine display, the error FOI_EFI_DU
can appear (derived error) and the engine will reset.
Cause
Not enough RAM memory for the pixel matrix on the imager (ICM problem).
Remedy
None. The job will never be printed.
Cause
Not enough workspace for NIP (nve NIPxxx11)
Remedy
Set the workspace to 245760 on the imager and the job will be printed.
4. Symptom
DICOM communication fails. EasyVision print queue remains unchanged.
Cause
Insufficient disk quota on the imager side.
Remedy
Pause the printer on the EasyVision user interface until a number of films are printed.
5. Symptom
Print job on opaque remains in the queue of the LR5200.
Cause
EasyVision sends a print job with dbmax defaulted at 3.00 on opaque film type.
Remedy
Upload the opaque dispenser until the DICOM job is sent. The default dbmax (3.50) will be used. The film
will be printed after inserting the dispenser in the imager.
6. Symptom
Auto configure on the EasyVision does not work.
Cause
EasyVision uses the DICOM node system name as AE title for the auto-configuring.
Remedy
Enter the AE title in the DICOM node system name filed on the EasyVision and restart auto-configuring.

The printer does not give the correct logout response after a correct data transfer.
Remedy
Is introduced by Agfa with MEGA 3.32 and solved with R4.2. and onwards by increasing the timeout to 1
minute. If no R4.2 EasyVision the only solution is to swap the DAVID CPU board for a GEMINI CPU board
which did solve the problem.
2. Symptom
Only one film sheet printed and the printer is in a hang-up situation and displays on the keypad error B019.
Cause
Incorrect software loaded at the Agfa printer side.
Remedy
Agfa must install correct software.
3. Symptom
Film size 14*14” not printed.
Cause
The matrix size is not correct implemented, landscape instead of portrait.
Remedy
Deselect the 14*14” film format. Solved in release 4.2.
4. Symptom
Maximum density cannot be reached.
Cause
The MG3000 / LR3300 software release OEMMG016 which is loaded on the MG3000 selects default menu
1 up to 7. These menus are set for slides with a Dmax of 1.5. Host systems (V3000, DSI & EasyVision)
select one of these menus; hence they are not able to reach a maximum density of 3.0.
Remedy
Ask AGFA to delete the default menus which are loaded on the C drive on the MG3000 and are *.A00 files.
AGFA service is informed via AGFA’s own internal channels.
5. Symptom
No communication between MG3000 and the host system.
Cause
With all MRFI-1 boards, a specially adapted flat cable is required between the 15-pin connector on the
MFRI board and the connector plate at the rear of the MG3000. This special flat cable (recognizable by a
grey plastic connector cap) reverses the polarity of the hardware handshake lines. On MFRI-2 boards, the
polarity of the hardware handshake has been corrected, removing the need for the special flat cable. A
simple one-to-one flat cable is required.
Remedy
Ensure that the correct combination of MFRI board and flat cable is being used. Order codes for the MFRI
cables are as follows:
2.6.7. DICOM
1. Symptom
Film size 14*14” not printed.
Cause
The matrix size is not correct implemented, landscape instead of portrait.
Remedy
Deselect the 14*14” film format. Solved in release 4.2.
2. Symptom
No film is printed.
Cause
The maximum density, sent by DICOM is not within the calibrated range of the film (DICOM warning
0x0116).
Remedy
Make sure that the maximum density sent by EasyVision is 3.00 OD and Agfa must put the setting for the
maximum OD to at least 3.20 OD.
3. Symptom
The print job goes into ERROR on the keypad of the imager. On the engine display, the error FOI_EFI_DU
can appear (derived error) and the engine will reset.
Cause
Not enough RAM memory for the pixel matrix on the imager (ICM problem).
Remedy
None. The job will never be printed.
Cause
Not enough workspace for NIP (nve NIPxxx11)
Remedy
Set the workspace to 245760 on the imager and the job will be printed.
4. Symptom
DICOM communication fails. EasyVision print queue remains unchanged.
Cause
Insufficient disk quota on the imager side.
Remedy
Pause the printer on the EasyVision user interface until a number of films are printed.
5. Symptom
Print job on opaque remains in the queue of the LR3300.
Cause
EasyVision sends a print job with dbmax defaulted at 3.00 on opaque film type.
Remedy
Upload the opaque dispenser until the DICOM job is sent. The default dbmax (3.50) will be used. The film
will be printed after inserting the dispenser in the imager.
6. Symptom
Auto configure on the EasyVision does not work.
Cause
EasyVision uses the DICOM node system name as AE title for the auto-configuring.
Remedy
Enter the AE title in the DICOM node system name filed on the EasyVision and restart auto-configuring.

EasyVision RAD R4.2: AGFA MCL Bitmap
2.7.3.2. AGFA
1. The MIN/MCL must first be installed as a stand alone system, in accordance with the service
documentation.
4. In the Novtab, the time out for the input image must be increased to 10 Minutes ( Offset 7 changed to
E6AO).
NOTE
The EasyVision can only be connected to an MFRI board and not to an MIR board, because of the limited line
size.
If the EasyVision is connected to an MCL via MIR, the Novtab offset D (Copy to buffer size) must be increased
from 1000 Hex to 1100 Hex in the MCL.
________________
The AGFA imager has the possibility for two dispensers in which different magazines (film sizes) can be
mounted by the user.
Keypad control
There is no manual keypad control possible.
This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
1. Symptom
Other host systems are not able to print.
Cause
The EasyVision images sent are very large, they cause annoyingly long lock out times for other MIN users.
For situations in which multiple inputs need to be connected via MIN to an MCL, this is a problem. Users
operating exclusively in background remote control with AMDI-C are not affected by this situation.
Remedy
It is recommended to use an extra MIN, exclusively for EasyVision, and to cross-link this with other MINs.
This paragraph provides a history of all software releases relevant to this interface, together with points to
watch out for when using a particular release.

3.1. INTRODUCTION
This section describes various aspects of the connection / interfacing of a Philips EasyVision RAD to Codonics
laser imagers. For the installation and configuration procedures refer to the corresponding service and
release manuals. This document contains information for service engineers (Philips & Codonics) to verify if the
set-up is identical to that tested and released by the PMG.
The Codonics EP1600 is able to print in black & white or in color. The paper is equal for black & white and
color. When using a color ribbon both black & white and color images may be printed. When using a black &
white ribbon only black & white printing is possible and the printer may hang the entire system if color images
are sent. Printing on transparencies is also possible.

The EP1600 is delivered via Philips channels. All required interface cables are shipped with the unit.
The SCSI interface maximum distance is 3 meters from the SUN Sparcstation upto the SCSI booster. The
additional distance is achieved with a SCSI booster, which is part of the delivery.
For SCSI booster parts and cables to order refer to section EasyVision RAD 4.X connectivity chapter: SCSI
connection.
NOTE
A reflection densitometer is required for the density calibration, e.g., Xrite 400.
________________
3.2.3. Configuration
This section describes which parameters must be configured by the different parties. During configuration both
Philips and CODONICS service engineers must be present.
3.2.3.1. Philips
For the configuration procedure of the EasyVision RAD refer to the release document.
Configuration parameters per release:
• SCSI
EasyVision RAD R4.X: CODONICS EP1600
Settings:
SCSI interface address R4.X is depending on the SUN hardware. The correct settings are in the system
manual-section programming for the correct SCSI address.
SCSI-ID: 4
It is strongly recommended to use paper with a monochrome ribbon. Tests have indicated that transparency
films have coating problems. It is possible to print black & white with a color ribbon, but the throughput is only a
third of that reached with a monochrome ribbon.
This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
4. Symptom
Film is not printed and message CHECK RIBBON.
Cause
New media GEN 1.5 introduced by CODONICS which is not supported.
Remedy
Call Helpdesk EVM and ask for the new LED circuit board upgrade kit.

The Imation Kodak/Imation MIM 8800 has the possibility to connect two different Imation imagers to one
EasyVision RAD output. Depending on the connected Imation imager certain flimsizes are available. There are
two major differences if certain imagers are connected to the MIM 8800:
1. Imagers with different film sizes
Possibilities are:
3M 8300 and 3M 8500
3M 8500 and 3M 8700
3M 8300 and 3M 8700
In this case the EasyVision RAD treats the combination as one DryView imager with 2 film sizes. Only one
imager should be configured: 3M MIM or 3M MIM Superset
Keypad control
There is no manual keypad control possible.
This paragraph provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.

This paragraph provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
1. Symptom
EasyVision RAD hangs-up.
Cause
An image has been sent to the 8300 imager within the first 40 seconds of the 8300 being switched on.
Remedy
Wait 1 minute before you switch on the EasyVision RAD.
2. Symptom
EasyVision RAD message: Printing sheet restarted.
Cause
EasyVision RAD uses the PTY command to find whether an imager supports the extended 952 protocol. If
a response “INV,PTY” is received, the EasyVision RAD knows that the imager only understands the
standard 952 protocol. The Kodak/Imation Kodak/Imation 8300 unfortunately raises an alarm 72 condition
when a response of “INV,PTY” has been sent more than three times.
Remedy
Switch the imager Off/On to overcome this problem. The problem will be solved by Kodak/Imation
Kodak/Imation in a new firmware release of the Kodak/Imation Kodak/Imation 8300 .
3. Symptom
EasyVision RAD printer test error: line time-out error message.
Cause
During the printer test the EasyVision RAD generates a line time-out error. The reason is a too short line
time-out setting in the firmware of the Kodak/Imation Kodak/Imation 8300 . This problem will be solved by
Kodak/Imation, but can occur in very extreme application conditions.
Remedy
None, until Kodak/Imation updates the firmware; but the problem will rarely show up during application.
Solved in Dryview R4.1.1.
4. Symptom
Kodak/Imation Kodak/Imation 8300 printer performance slow.
Cause
The Kodak/Imation Kodak/Imation 8300 starts a new print session after the previous one when the sheet is
also developed and after the memory is cleared. The new session cannot start before this memory has
been cleared. The performance of the Kodak/Imation Kodak/Imation 8300 would increase if the memory is
cleared directly after the image is printed, which is before the sheet is developed.
Remedy
None, until Kodak/Imation updates the firmware.
5. Symptom
EasyVision RAD is not able to print.
Cause
The Kodak/Imation Kodak/Imation 8300 firmware V4.06 is not compatible with the EasyVision RAD due to
an incorrect implementation of the Kodak/Imation Kodak/Imation952 protocol.
Remedy
None, not compatible.

1. Symptom
Images printed directly from the MR or CT do not have the same appearance as images printed via the
EasyVision RAD.
Cause
The MR and CT system do not have calibration possibilities and use the lookup table in the printer. The
images printed via EasyVision RAD are calibrated to the target curve. The two input channels of the printer
use the same lookup table. Although the target curve for the EasyVision RAD equals the lookup table curve
of the printer input, there will still be a difference in density between the two channels.
Remedy
Calibrate the EasyVision RAD with the default values instead of the measured values end enter the
minimum as well as the maximum density values in the EasyVision RAD menu. The EasyVision RAD is
now calibrated linearly.
Both channels will now have the same density values.

There is no manual keypad control possible.
This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
Symptom
Film size selection not possible.
Cause
The Kodak 2180 has the possibility to select different film formats. If the settings Pixel per line and Lines
per image are set for the large format, it is not possible to select small formats.
Remedy
Select the minimum values, which are the settings for the smallest film size.
Symptom
No image printed.
Cause
The EasyVision RAD gives an HCU error with a Kodak KELP 100 XLP or 2180 or 1120. The problem
occurs most likely during installation.
Remedy
The EasyVision RAD sends a complete matrix to the laser imager. In the test mode the control path is
correct and the data path gives an error. Switch OFF the COMMON TEXT (DISABLE) in the laser imager,
ask the Kodak engineer to do this.
Symptom
EasyVision RAD gives an error message after several printed pages.
Cause
The Kodak 2180 can be configured for study reprinting. All incoming images are copied to the hard disc
and then printed. If, for example, 2 * 500MB hard discs are installed and 80% is configured for study reprint,
and more inputs are hooked up to the Kodak 2180, there is a possibility that a hang-up occurs after several
prints from EasyVision RAD.
Remedy
Re-configure the study reprint in the imager to give more disc space or switch the study reprint OFF.

9.1. INTRODUCTION
This section describes various aspects of the connection / interfacing of a Philips EasyVision to Sterling
(formerly DuPont and Polaroid) laser imagers. For the installation and configuration procedures refer to the
corresponding service and release manuals. This document contains information for service engineers (Philips,
& Sterling) to verify if the set-up is identical to that tested and released by the PMG.
9.2.2.1. Ethernet
The network connection is always present at the modality side. No special items have to be ordered.
9.2.3. Configuration
9.2.3.1. Philips
For the configuration procedure of the EasyVision refer to the release document.
Configuration parameters per release:
• Ethernet DICOM
EasyVision R4.X: Agfa Drystar 3000
9.2.3.2. Sterling
The system and configuration software of the Contact 400 is already loaded before delivery.
The STERLING imager has the possibility for one dispenser in which the user can mount one magazine. During
installation STERLING defines the film size. The customer is not able to change the film size. The STERLING
imager has one film size and EasyVision supports film type selection. However, since Sterling imagers do not
report film type, images are only printed when the selected film type matches that available in the imager. If the
types do not match, the image is accepted by the imager but stored on a hard disk in the imager.
Keypad control
There is no manual keypad control possible.
This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
1. Symptom
No film is printed.
Cause
The maximum density, sent by DICOM is not within the calibrated range of the film (DICOM warning
0x0116).
Remedy
Make sure that the maximum density sent by EasyVision is 3.00 OD. STERLING should set this DMAX
value on 3.20 OD.
2. Symptom
The print job goes into ERROR on the keypad of the imager. On the engine display, the error FOI_EFI_DU
can appear (derived error) and the engine will reset.
Cause
Not enough RAM memory for the pixel matrix on the imager (ICM problem).
Remedy
None. The job will never be printed.
Cause
Not enough workspace for NIP (nve NIPxxx11)
Remedy
Set the workspace to 245760 on the imager and the job will be printed.
3. Symptom
DICOM communication fails. EasyVision print queue remains unchanged.
Cause
Insufficient disk quota on the imager side.
Remedy
Pause the printer on the EasyVision user interface until a number of films are printed.
4. Symptom
Print job on opaque remains in the queue of the Contact 400.
Cause
EasyVision sends a print job with dbmax defaulted at 3.00 on opaque film type.
Remedy
Upload the opaque dispenser until the DICOM job is sent. The default dbmax (3.50) will be used. The film
will be printed after inserting the dispenser in the imager.
5. Symptom
Auto configure on the EasyVision does not work.
Cause
EasyVision uses the DICOM node system name as AE title for the auto-configuring.
Remedy
Enter the AE title in the DICOM node system name filed on the EasyVision and restart auto-configuring.

Keypad control
There is no manual keypad control possible.
This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
1. Symptom
The border is too wide on a 14 * 17” film.
Cause
Incorrectly configured imager.
Remedy
Select SHORT HOSE in the keypad set-up menu of the NS400.
2. Symptom
No images printed and no error indication on the EasyVision.
Cause
The NS400 internal faults are translated to error 19, which does not give an error message to the
EasyVision, hence no indication is present for the user.
Remedy
Ask Sterling to configure the NS400 such that the internal messages are translated to error 71, which will
give a “Printer Error” on the EasyVision and more detailed information on the imager keypad.

1. Symptom
Error messages from the imager (e.g., no film, supply magazine missing, etc) on the EasyVision.
Cause
During synchronous alarm handling, a problem occurred with the new software release 2.6.0 for the SID of
the NS400 network.
Remedy
Sterling must edit the configuration file to disable the sending of synchronous alarms (change 10 up to 18
from A to X).
This section provides a history of all software releases relevant to this interface, together with points to watch
out for when using a particular release.

This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
1. Symptom
Images printed directly from the MR or CT do not have the same appearance as images printed via the
EasyVision.
Cause
The MR and CT system do not have calibration possibilities and use the look up table in the printer. The
images printed via EasyVision are calibrated to the target curve. The two input channels of the printer use
the same look up table. Although the target curve for the EasyVision equals the look up table curve of the
printer input, there will still be a difference in density between the two channels.
Remedy
Calibrate the EasyVision with the default values instead of the measured and enter the minimum and
maximum density values in the EasyVision menu. The EasyVision is now calibrated linearly.
Both channels will now have the same density values.

Preferences:
The preference choice is controlled be the Easyvision. A special custom curve for easyvision has to be
entered in the DPS. This preference must be called 038 because the easyvison is configured to ask for
this preference. If, for any reason, the preference 038 was not entered in the DPS, then the DPS would
use the preference 122 which has been selected as default in the DPS sij400 channel (see section 2).
This preference 122 is the LUT soc variable contrast 11 which is a good alternative for the Easyvision.
Dicom Policy :

This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring
and/or operating this installation.
1. Symptom
configured as a DICOM printer the SIJ400 will be operated with a DICOM print server (Sun Sparc4). If
this DICOM print server has been switched off this will be clearly indicated on the EasyVision.
If just the printer has been switched off the images will be intermediately stored on the DICOM print
server until the printer becomes operational again.

10.1. INTRODUCTION
This section describes various aspects of the connection / interfacing of a Philips EasyVision RAD to printers
connected to the parallel port and file printing. For the installation and configuration procedures refer to the
corresponding service and release manuals. This document contains information for service engineers (Philips)
to verify if the set-up is identical to that tested and released by the PMG.
The postscript printer is connected to the parallel port of the EasyVision RAD. The maximum cable length is 3
meters.
10.2.3. Configuration
This section describes which parameters must be configured.
For the configuration procedure of EasyVision RAD refer to the release document.
Configuration parameters per release:
• File
EasyVision RAD R4.X.: Paper print A4 or Letter
This section provides information on solving problems that may be encountered when configuring and/or
operating this installation.
1. Symptom
The LaserJet 4 sometimes outputs only white sheets of paper, one after the other, and stops only after the
EVRad has been rebooted and the printer has been switched off/on.
Cause
The system controls the HP laserjet printer with Unix print commands. If a laserjet printer has been
switched off the Unix system doesn’t detect this status with the command lpstat.
Remedy
None.
2. Symptom
A HP Laserjet prints numerous almost blanc pages.
Cause
The printer must have been switched OFF and ON while receiving image data.
Remedy
None. Breaks such as switching power OFF/ON or diconnecting the data line while image data are being
transmitted cannot be recovered by the Centronics interface using PCL protocol or postscript protocol.
