The Drystar 2000 may be installed and used in operating, examination, treat-
ment and other rooms where flammable anesthetic mixtures are present on
condition that the following rules are followed:
■ Install and use the printer and its accessory equipment at a distance of at least
30 cm / 1 foot away from any device or source which might discharge flamma-
ble anesthetic mixtures or from which such mixtures may leak. Ensure that this
clearance is maintained over the entire circumference and under any operating
condition of either equipment.
■ Consult your regulatory body/safety officer responsible for the safety within the
room to designate suitable locations within the room. Do not install the printer in
case of uncertainty.
■ Never relocate the printer when a safe operating position has been established.
■ The mixture of the vapor of flammable disinfection or cleaning agent with air is
considered a flammable anesthetic mixture. In this case, the same safety instruc-
tions apply.
Using the Drystar 2000 near flammable anesthetic mixtures while not
complying with the above safety instructions may lead to explosion!
The person installing the printer is responsible for observing the safety
instructions.

In a network configuration, the Drystar 2000 is fully compatible with Agfa’s mod-
ular acquisition, imaging and image retrieval systems, including the Impax MG
3000 Medical Gateway, the Scopix LR 3300 Laser Imager and the entire Drystar
2000 line of review systems, storage stations and transmitting stations. In this
way, diagnostic images can be acquired, stored, retrieved, reviewed and trans-
mitted within departments and printed at any location on the network.
In a network environment, the Drystar 2000 can either serve as a standard net-
work printer or be configured for gateway functionality, e.g. for the acquisition of
black & white images to be printed on a Drystar 3000. Network protocols can be
the standard Agfa protocol or the optional DICOM 3.0 protocol.

Operating modes
The Drystar 2000 supports four operating modes: B&W only, color only, dual
mode and consecutive mode.
■ In B&W mode, only black and white images can be acquired, stored and
printed. Combined processing of black and white and color images is not possi-
ble.
■ In color mode, only color images can be acquired, stored and printed. As in
B&W mode, you cannot combine black and white and color image processing.
2601A GB 19990825 11
2601 A GB RM Drystar 2000 OR 26-08-99 11:27 Page 12
■ In dual mode, both B&W and color images can be acquired, stored and printed.
The images are grouped on a separate B&W and color frame layout. Once the
frame is completed, or upon request of the user, frames are stored in folders in
the print queue. The B&W films are printed on a B&W printer (e.g. to an LR 3300
or to a Drystar 2000), while the color films are printed on a color printer (e.g. a
Drystar 2000).
■ Consecutive mode supports, just like dual mode, both black and white and
color image acquisition. However, in this mode, all images are grouped in the
order they are taken in, on one and the same frame layout. After completion of
the frame, or upon request of the user, the frames are stored in folders in the
print queue. If a folder contains one or more color images, the film is printed on
a color printer. If the folder contains black and white images only, the film is
printed on a B&W printer (e.g. to an LR 3300 or to a Drystar 2000).
12 2601A GB 19990825
2601 A GB RM Drystar 2000 OR 26-08-99 11:27 Page 13
■ A folder is a collective term used for any collection of images. Newly acquired
images are gathered in a folder. Folders are digital means of managing images.
■ A film is the physical sheet on which images are actually printed. Two types of
film are available for the Drystar 2000:
– For printing high-quality color images, Drystar ‘Thermo-Sublimation’ film (‘TS’) should
be used. Thermo-sublimation film can be opaque, or either blue-based or clear-based.
– For printing high-density grayscale images, Drystar ‘Thermo-Monochrome’ film (‘TM’)
should be used. Thermo-monochrome film is blue-based.
❖ Always make sure that the Drystar 2000 is loaded with the appropriate consumables
before printing:
• Film should be loaded in a film tray that is encoded specifically for that type of film.
For information on how to encode a film tray, refer to page 97.
• After inserting a tray with thermo-sublimation film, make sure that a donor ribbon is
present. If you are using thermo-monochrome film, make sure that the donor ribbon
is removed. For detailed information, refer to page 104.
2601A GB 19990825 13
2601 A GB RM Drystar 2000 OR 26-08-99 11:27 Page 14
The Drystar 2000 features two types of folders: ‘film-based’ folders and ‘study-
based’ folders.
■ Film-based folders are folders which contain the images of one film. This means
you can acquire as many images as there are locations available on the cur-
rently selected frame on the display. When the frame is completed, it is printed
automatically on a single film.
■ Study-based folders are folders which can contain the images of one or more
films. This means that before your films are printed, you can continue acquiring
images regardless of the number of locations available on the selected frame on
the display. When a frame is completed, a new frame is presented belonging to
the same folder. After finishing the ‘study’, the folder is printed on as many films
as there are frames in the folder.
❖ In this manual, when referred to ‘printing’, this means that processing of the frame is
started, or in other words that the frame is being prepared for print-out. Remember
that actual printing can only take place if the Drystar is loaded with the appropriate
consumables. Refer to chapter 7, ‘Consumables’, for detailed information.

2601 A GB RM Drystar 2000 OR 26-08-99 11:27 Page 16
The Drystar 2000 features over 50 parameters, all of which can be defined for
optimal image quality in relation to the specificity of the image. Film format,
color separation, polarity, minimum and maximum background density are a few
examples of such parameters.
Exam settings
The values of more than 50 image quality parameters can be correctly set
according to the specific requirements of a particular examination. The term
‘Exam Settings’ is used when referring to pre-defined values of the image qual-
ity parameters.
Exam sets
A unit of exam settings, with image quality parameters optimally tailored for the
needs of one specific examination, is called an ‘Exam Set’. By using exam sets,
such a unit can be given a recognizable name, e.g. ‘8x10 4/0 Abdomen’. In this
exam set, up to four images can be acquired on an 8x10” frame. The word
Abdomen reminds the user that this exam set has the appropriate exam settings
for Abdomen examinations.
Exam groups
Exam Groups are a practical means of grouping related exam sets. An exam
group can be given an appropriate name, reminding the user of the type of
exam sets in the group. Exam group names, for example, can refer to particular
examinations (such as ‘Abdomen’ or ‘Thorax’) or to examinations carried out by
a particular user (such as ‘Dr. Patterson’ or ‘Dr. Jones’).
However, regardless of their name and initial purpose, all exam groups and
exam sets can be used at any time by any user.
❖ When the Drystar 2000 is installed, the printer is configured according to user prefer-
ences, but exam groups, exam sets and exam settings can always be redefined. Refer
to chapter 5, ‘Customizing the Drystar 2000’.

Introduction
This section focuses on the basic operating principles of the Drystar 2000. It will
explain how to acquire images and store them in a folder, and how to perform
some basic management of images and folders.
The difference between basic and advanced operation merely depends on your
printer configuration. You should therefore read only one of the chapters. Read
this introduction page carefully to decide what procedures are best suited to
your needs.
■ This chapter describes the acquisition of images in B&W mode and in color
mode, as those are the two most commonly used modes. If your printer is con-
figured for B&W mode or for color mode, read the acquisition procedure in this
chapter. If your printer is configured for working in either dual mode or consecu-
tive mode, refer to chapter 4, ‘Advanced operation’.
■ This chapter also describes the following basic operating procedures that are
valid regardless of your printer configuration:
• assigning emergency priority,
• deleting images,
• changing the frame layout,
• changing the number of copies,
• managing the print queue.
2601A GB 19990825 27
2601 A GB RM Drystar 2000 OR 26-08-99 11:28 Page 28
When you work in B&W mode, you can acquire and print black and white
images only. In color mode, only color images can be acquired and printed. The
acquisition procedure is identical for both modes.
The Exam group screen is the starting point for image acquisition.

In some countries, the donor ribbon itself is considered as chemical waste and
must be taken away by an authorized company for waste treatment.
All users of the Drystar 2000 should be aware that the donor ribbon contains
patient information.
Important ! Two types of film are available for the Drystar 2000, which are to be loaded in
an appropriately encoded film tray. Refer to ‘Encoding a film tray’ in this chap-
ter for detailed information.
❖ When a film tray is empty, always load a complete package of 100 films. Do not
remove any sheets from a film tray in use. Do not add sheets to a film tray before it is
empty.
2601A GB 19990825 93
2601 A GB RM Drystar 2000 OR 26-08-99 11:28 Page 94
❖ If your Drystar 2000 is not provided with these options, refer to the separate loading
procedures for film and donor ribbon, described in this chapter.
■ The film tray holder contains an extra tray which can be filled in advance. If the
printer film tray becomes empty, it can simply be replaced by the preloaded
one.
■ The donor frame storage box holds a donor frame which can be loaded before-
hand. When the donor ribbon is completely used, you can replace the donor
frame in a few moments.
Push the film tray to open it. Slide the tray out of the printer.
If a film tray is removed from the printer, you should check that there are no sheets left in
the prefeed section. Remove any sheets to avoid film jams or the use of inappropriate film
when re-inserting the tray. Once the film tray is removed, protect it as much as possible
from dust infiltration.
❖ Always take care that the preloaded tray is encoded correctly for the type of film used.
Consult the stickers on the front, the back and the inside of the tray.

❖ Each film tray is to be encoded only once, for a specific type of film. It is therefore rec-
ommended to keep in stock as many film trays as there are types of film that will be
used.
Encoding pins
Three encoding pins are provided with each tray: the pins are inserted in spare
slots [1] on the underside of the tray [2].

General troubleshooting
This section lists techniques to help you identify and solve common problems,
including how to:
The LEDs on the front panel indicate the Drystar 2000’s operating status. Use
the following table to determine the status of your printer.
If you are unable to get the printer to respond, the problem may be caused by a
fault in the connections. In this case, check that all connectors and cables are
firmly attached to the printer.
❖ Regularly check all electrical connections. When interference occurs with other
devices, consult your local service organization.
2 In the Exam group, Exam set or Work screen, press QUEUE (3).
The Queue screen appears:
The Queue screen is divided into two sections. On the left you see the items in the job
queue identified by a job number followed by the folder reference. On the right informa-
tion is displayed concerning the highlighted item in the job queue.
For the highlighted item in the queue, the information on the first line can be: processing,
waiting, warning or error. The latter two indicate that there is a print queue problem. If
such is the case, proceed with the following step.
3 Make sure that the printer is loaded with the appropriate consumables.
Check the information as displayed on the right hand side of the screen and compare this
to the actually loaded consumables (e.g. the printer may need thermo-sublimation film
while thermo-monochrome film is loaded).
Refer to chapter 7, ‘Consumables’, for detailed information.
1 Remove the film tray to see whether the jam is situated in the film feed area. If
so, gently pull out the jammed sheet.
❖ If it is absolutely not possible to remove the sheet, try the procedure below.
3 Slide out the film feed assembly and check the interior of the printer.
1 Check the exit area on top of the printer to see whether the jammed film is com-
ing out of the printer. Gently pull the jammed film out.
❖ If it is absolutely not possible to remove the jammed sheet or if the sheet is not visible,
try the procedure below.
3 Open the printer top cover and press the switch to release the transport
rollers and slide out the jammed film.
4 Tilt the de-curl unit over to the front, to slide out the jammed film.
❖ If the printer has been in use, the de-curl unit can be hot ! Be careful !
2 If the film is entangled in the donor ribbon, carefully remove the film, and stretch
the donor ribbon.
3 If the jam occurred in the drum section, use switch to activate the drum and
remove the sheet.
If fine white dots and one or more fine white lines, or colored lines appear in the
transport direction (mostly due to dust infiltration), try the following remedies.
2 Print a few test sheets using the ‘Print test image’ function.
Refer to chapter 6, ‘Front panel functions’, for the detailed procedure.
3 If the problem is not yet solved, repeat steps 1 and 2 a few times.
4 If the white lines do not disappear, carry out a thermal head re-calibration.
Refer to chapter 10, ‘Thermal head’, for the detailed procedure.
5 If the calibration process results in a ‘Thermal head out of range’ message, con-
tact your local service organization.
6 If the calibration ends up successfully, print a few test sheets using the ‘Print
test image’ function.
Refer to chapter 6, ‘Front panel functions’, for the detailed procedure.
7 If the white lines are still visible, contact your local service organization.
It might happen that a film is printed, but that (almost) no images are visible on a
printed film.
If a full package of 100 films was loaded, the internal counter of the Drystar can
detect the last sheet and the last but one. Those two sheets will pass through
the printer without being used.
If the blank film is not the last (or last but one) sheet of the tray, try the following
remedies (if the problem is solved by one of the actions, you do not need to
continue the procedure).
1 Check that the donor ribbon is present or removed according to the film on
which printing takes place.
Refer to chapter 7, ‘Consumables’, for the detailed procedure.
2 Check that the appropriate film is correctly loaded on the Drystar 2000.
Refer to chapter 7, ‘Consumables’, for detailed procedures.
3 With Cawo screencleaner liquid, clean the thermal head resistor line.
Refer to chapter 10, ‘Thermal head’, for the detailed procedure.

Maintenance
Safety first
The de-curl unit in the Drystar 2000 operates at high temperature. Allow the
roller to cool down before performing maintenance and troubleshooting.
2 Wipe the exterior of the printer with a clean, soft, damp cloth.
Use a mild soap or detergent if required but never use an ammonia–based cleaner. Be
careful not to get any liquid in the power cord port.
Do the following:
2 If 1000 print passes have been reached since the last cleaning of the thermal
head resistor line, perform the thermal head cleaning procedure.
Refer to chapter 10, ‘Thermal head’, for the detailed thermal head cleaning procedure.

Make sure to store the floppy in a safe place. The service technician will need
the information on the floppy if the thermal head must be replaced. A replaced
thermal head must be returned to your local service organization with the corre-
sponding floppy.
❖ The thermal head floppy is not DOS formatted. Do not attempt to use this floppy in a
personal computer.
2 Open the printer top cover and remove the donor frame.
The donor frame should be stored in a dust–free place (e.g. in the donor frame storage
box).
3 Gently pass over the resistor line a few times with isopropanol or CAWO screen-
cleaner liquid, using a dust-free and fibre-free cloth. Do this only in one direc-
tion, i.e. from left to right, without lifting the cloth.
Only use isopropanol or Cawo screencleaner liquid to remove dirt from the resistor line.
Only these two products are tested and approved. Refer to page 132 for the appropriate
order code.
