  15. Connecting To Current Philips Nuclear Medicine Workstations • 4 Different Scenarios: • Pegasys 5.0 with Horizon • Pegasys 5.0 with EP-1000 • JETStream with Horizon • JETStream with EP-1000 • Why? • Pegasys and JETStream have different operating systems and applications software • Horizon and EP-1000 have different architectures and compatibilities

  16. Pegasys 5.0 to HorizonRecommended Configuration • Small Format Printing (on all Horizons) • Codonics Printer Driver version 7 installed on host system • EP Emulation on printer – license required • Large Format Printing • DICOM 4.24 or 4.25 on Host • DICOM on printer – license required • DICOM Connectivity: • Use custom AE Titles • Limited print layouts (1x1 and 2x2) are supported in the Pegasys DICOM interface. • Will also support small format printing • Quick Start Guide available • Note: Codonics Printer Driver does not support 14x17 printing

  17. Pegasys 5.0 to EP-1000Recommended Configuration • Codonics Printer Driver version 7 must be installed on host system • Quick Start Guide available • Most significant / difficult issue is setting IP address of parallel to network interface

  18. Connecting to the EP-1000 • EP-1000 printer has 2 interfaces (USB and parallel) • Codonics Printer Driver on Pegasys and Codonics Windows Printer Drivers (on JETStream) only support network printing. • The solution … an external parallel to network interface. • The only way to print to the EP-1000 • Requires a separate power supply • For JETStream --- Must have it’s IP address set via a DOS utility Note: The JETStream will find the printer if you connect via the USB interface and search for it, but there are no compatible drivers and the application software will not print to it.

  19. JETStream 2.5.1 to HorizonRecommended Configuration • DICOM required for all Horizon models • Must be purchased separately for Philips Nuclear Medicine Horizon SF configuration • Use custom AE Titles • Supports all media types and sizes • PostScript is required for Add-on programs such as AutoQuant • Must be purchased separately for Philips Nuclear Medicine Horizon SF and Ci configurations • Must install Codonics printer driver included in Horizon box • Follow Codonics directions for installing printer driver … does not install like a standard Windows printer • Quick Start Guide available

  20. JETStream 2.5.1 to EP-1000Recommended Configuration • Must install Codonics printer driver • Included in EP-1000 box • Follow Codonics directions for installing printer driver … does not install like a standard Windows printer • Quick Start Guide available • Most significant / difficult issue is setting IP address of parallel to network interface

  21. What is MCM? • MCM stands for Medical Color Matching, Codonics’ exclusive method of matching color printed output to the monitor. • This setting is designed only for color images and has no effect on grayscale prints. • We have designed several MCM profiles for Philips Nuclear Medicine products.Make sure that you have Color selected in the DICOM or Printer Driver setup.

  34. FAQ What is the EP emulation key? • The EP emulation key allows Horizon to receive images from Pegasys using the Codonics print driver provided on the Pegasys. • This key is required for non-DICOM printer installations. Most Pegasys printer installations use this driver and therefore require this key. • If you are replacing an NP series or EP series printer with a Horizon SF, you will very likely need this key.

  35. FAQ Horizon prints using the printer driver are consistently dark, regardless of the settings in the printer’s KDU (front panel). Create a Custom Job Setting in the Horizon called RAW_JS and change the LUT setting to Visual: 1. Press and hold the left arrow button (  ) while pressing the Menu button. Release both buttons. 2. Press the down arrow (  ) to the Custom Job Settings menu and press Enter. 3. Select New… 4. Select Name 5. Press the left ( ) and right arrows simultaneously to blank out the MYSETTINGS name. 6. Using the up and down arrows, (   ) enter the name RAW_JS and press Enter. 7. Arrow down to LUT and press Enter. 8. Change LUT to Visual and press Enter. 9. Press Menu to exit. The rest of the image settings (gamma, contrast, saturation…) may also be controlled from this menu.

  36. FAQ Where are the larger page size formats in the printer driver setup? • The Codonics Printer Driver supports small-format (8x10 and A-size) printing only. • Large format printing must be done using DICOM.

  37. FAQ The Horizon is prompting for 8x10 CV Paper. Where can I get this? • This is not a valid media combination. • Check the Codonics configuration screen (either through DICOM or the driver, depending on your installation.) • Make sure that both the media size and the media type are set up correctly. • Additionally, through DICOM make sure the AE Title is a-cvp or a4-cvp, as appropriate.

  38. FAQ The Print Preview screen refuses to activate when using DICOM. Turn Print Preview off and re-start. • Go into the DICOM configuration • Turn off Print Preview. • Exit Configuration. • Re-enter configuration • Turn Print Preview back on • Save & Exit. • Restart Printer Daemon

  39. FAQ Color printing is not working through DICOM. • Make sure you have DICOM software 4.24 or 4.25. • Make sure that you have Color selected in the DICOM or Printer Driver setup.
