Printer Overview
Keypad Overview
The following information explains the basic functions of the Keypad that can be used
with the Laser Printer.
The Keypad is a device that allows the user to enter commands which control the storing
of images and the subsequent printing of those images. Each Keypad is independent and
may be used to select parameters that are specific to that imaging device. There can be
up to eight Keypads on a system, and they can be located up to 60 meters (197 feet) away
from the Laser Printer or Processor. With an optional cable extension, the Keypad may
be located up to 280 meters (919 feet) from the Laser Printer.
There is a Keypad for each input, except inputs using an autofilming link. With an
autofilming link, commands are sent from the imaging device.
Note
Some autofilming links do not accommodate all features available on the Keypad. These
features may be implemented by using the optional Control Terminal or the Auxiliary
Keypad. (The operation of the Control Terminal is explained in the user information
shipped with the Control Terminal.)
The fold-out “Quick Reference Guide” illustration of the Control Panel and Keypad may
be extended and positioned beside this information to help locate specific items being
described. See Section 9 for this Guide.
The Keypad consists of a message display, a numeric keypad (which also functions as
an indicator of image store positions), four function keys (F1 through F4), a number of
dedicated function keys for such activities as printing and deleting, a [Store] bar, and
[▲]and [▼] keys to increase and decrease the number of copies and format selections.

Dmin is the calibration test page Dmin. The Dmin can be set to zero. When a page has
a clear border, the trim is dark. When there is a black border, the trim is white.
You should understand the relationship between image density restriction and contrast
adjustment. If you reduce both Image Dmax (restrict) and contrast (negative contrast),
the density will be reduced more than you might expect.
The 2180 Laser Printer allows each imaging device to select Image Dmin, Image Dmax,

study allows you to print pages 1, 2, 3,... from imaging device A, then
pages 1, 2, 3,... from imaging device B so that the pages are printed in order and are not
intermixed. The study feature can be turned on or off.
Note
When operating in Study mode, you must select the number of copies before you close
the study.

Rotation Option
This option allows you to have all images of a format rotate 90° clockwise. A rotation
type (ON or OFF) is saved for each format. The default setting for each format is OFF.
Note
• The time required to store an image will increase when the rotation option is ON.
• The common text will not rotate. In other words, the common text will appear in the
same position on the film with images rotation ON or OFF. See the example on the
opposite page. Common text is defined on page 5–12.
• If the rotation option is not valid for a specific format because of the image size, the
system will not allow that format to have rotation ON. The keypad will beep when
you try to select rotation ON, indicating that you have pressed an invalid key.
To change the rotation status, press the [Format] [▲] or [▼] arrow keys until the desired
format is displayed.
To display the current rotation setting, press:
[Program]
[F4]
[F4]
To change the current setting, press [F1]. The setting will toggle between OFF and ON.
To store the new setting, press [E] on the numeric keypad. To store the new setting and
exit from the Program Mode, press [Program].
The following is an example of a 12-up format. The diagram at the left indicates the
arrangement of the images on the film with rotation OFF. The diagram at the right
indicates the arrangement with rotation ON. Note that the position of the common text
on the film is the same in both cases.
The illumination pattern of the LEDs on the keypad is the same as the arrangement of
the images on the film. However, if the format and rotation options you select cannot be
represented by the 4 x 6 LED matrix on the keypad (for example, a 24-up format with
rotation ON), the LEDs and their associated store keys are disabled. This means that the
LEDs do not illuminate when you press the keys. In this case, the images can be stored
only in their default positions by pressing the Store bar. The keypad displays a status
message as each image is stored.

Troubleshooting the Control Terminal
Blank Display Screen
If a terminal is not used for several minutes, the screen will become blank to protect the
screen from “burning in” the characters. When the screen is blank, use the following
sequence to refresh the screen:
1. Press any key.
2. If the screen did not refresh, turn the Control Terminal off and then on.
3. Check that the Laser Printer is functioning properly.
4. Check that the imaging device is communicating successfully with the Laser Printer.
This will indicate whether or not the interface is responding.
5. If none of the above steps refresh the screen, contact your Service Representative.
Garbled Screen
If the user indicates a WYSE terminal specification when it is not a WYSE terminal, and
makes a selection from the “Mode Selection Menu” with the non-WYSE terminal, the
Control Terminal display may show a garbled message.
If the user presses [Esc] and the system returns to the “Mode Selection Menu,” nothing
further needs to be done.
If the terminal does not respond to the [Esc] key, the terminal parameters may have been
changed by the error. Reset the parameters to their original values, and press [Esc]. At
the “Terminal Selection Menu,” select the correct specification.

Locked Screen
If the user inadvertently presses [Ctrl and the letter “S,” the display terminal will appear
to “lock” and not respond. This is a command that stops the screen from scrolling to
allow a user to see a single screen of information. If this happens, press [Ctrl] and the
letter “Q” to resume scrolling. The screen will “unlock” and respond normally.
Vertical Misalignment of Display Screen
The WYSE Set Up Menu may have been accessed and the Terminal characteristics were
changed. To re-establish the WYSE terminal as a Control Terminal:
1. Press the [Set Up] key.
2. Press [F2].
3. Use the Space Bar until “WYSE 50+” is displayed in the upper-left corner.
4. Press the [Set Up] key.
5. Press the Space Bar until “Yes” is displayed.
6. Press the [Set Up] key.
7. The next menu item selected will re-align the Display Screen.
Error Codes
If a fatal interface error occurs, all Control Terminal activities will stop and will be
replaced by a request for a Service Personnel password. If this occurs, turn the Laser
Printer on and off. If the Control Terminal continues to request the Service Personnel
password, contact your Service Representative.

Overview
General Information
Calibration is a method of ensuring consistent image appearance, despite differences in
film emulsions and variations in Processor chemistry.
Images can be stored and printed at any time during calibration. If calibration takes
place while the Laser Printer is printing, the new calibration takes effect only when all
copies of the current page have finished printing.
It is important to understand the difference between calibrating the Printer and
calibrating the Densitometer. Calibration of the Densitometer will be discussed in
“Maintaining the Densitometer” in Section 8.
You should also understand the difference between the Calibration Test Film
(see page 6–5) and the Calibration Results Film (see page 6–10).

In This Section
This section provides information for reprinting studies. You can execute the Study
Reprinting feature from the:
• Control Panel All systems have this capability. See “Study Reprinting from the
Main Control Panel,” page 7–4.
• Keypad This is an option that may be purchased separately. Please contact your
Kodak Sales Representative for further details. See “Study Reprinting From the
Keypad,” page 7–10.
For detailed information on study reprinting, see the “KEYPAD Study Reprinting”
Quick Reference Guide.
General Information
Study Reprinting provides the capability to reprint original patient studies that are stored
on the 2180 Laser Printer image buffer disks. A study is a logical grouping of one or
more pages which are to be printed together. Studies are created by an imaging device
and are stored by the Printer. Once a study enters the print queue, it is known as a job;
however, after the job is printed, the study remains on disk until it is deleted.
Protected vs Unprotected Studies
Studies may be protected or unprotected (see “Protected and Unprotected Studies,” page
7–8.
• Protected studies remain on the system until they are manually deleted. To prevent
a study from being deleted, protect the study.
• Unprotected studies remain on the system as long as there is space on the buffer
disks. When the disks are full the oldest studies are deleted. The number of studies
that are on disk depends on the total size of all the stored studies and the number of
disks installed with the system.
How Studies Are Stored
When a page is completed, it is automatically given a date and time stamp regardless of
the method of filming (keypad mode or autofilming). See “Storing Images and Printing
Pages,” page 4–5. Additionally, each study is identified by the “source” where the image
or images were generated.
Optionally, if “Keypad Study Reprinting” is installed, studies may be identified by a
unique “study number.” See “Storing Studies at the Keypad,” page 7–10.

Study Reprinting
To select studies for reprinting from the:
• Control Panel First select the source and then the particular study by date and time.
• If a single source has been selected, only the studies from that source will be
available.
• Keypad If you have the Keypad Option installed, you may select a study based on
a single source or all sources, date and time, or study number, depending on the
study and sorting options that have been set up in advance or that you specify from
the keypad at the time the study is reprinted.

Study Mode vs Page Mode
By selecting the “Study Mode” at the Keypad, you can reference studies for printing. If
you select the “Page Mode” of operation, each page will be referenced as a study.
If the Study Reprint feature is used often, it is recommended that the “Study Mode”
versus the “Page Mode” be selected at the Keypad to reduce the number of studies
needing to be referenced.
Storing Studies at the Keypad
Optionally, if “Keypad Study Reprinting” is installed, studies may be identified by a
unique “study number.” When a study is generated and stored, it is assigned a number

Study Reprinting
which may be a patient’s Social Security number or any unique number. The study
number must be numerical and not exceed 11 characters. The form of the study number
is determined by the hospital and configured by the service provider when the system is
installed.
Study numbers are assigned at the Keypad when the study is stored.
• If the Keypad is in Page Mode, you will be prompted to accept or change the study
number after each page.
• If the Keypad is in Study Mode, each page of the study will have the same number.
With the Keypad Option installed, in addition to date and time and source, you will have
the added convenience of reprinting studies based on the study number. Additionally
you will be able to change the order of the display so that either date and time or study
number displays at the top right of the screen.

Overview
The Transport Films function can be selected from the Other Functions Screen to move
film through the Printer and Processor without printing on the film. This may be used for

Film Transport with a Kodak X-Omat 180 LP or 180 LPS Processor
The Picker Assembly picks up a piece of film from one of the two Supply Magazines,
and the Elevator lifts the Picker and the film up to the Registration Assembly. The film
is squared on the Registration Table and pushed to the left. The Slow Scan Assembly
moves the film smoothly and holds it in focus while the film is being exposed by a laser.
The laser is located in the Fast Scan Assembly. Next, the piece of unprocessed film goes
down a chute in the Exposed Film Path Assembly and onto the Receive Magazine, or
exits the Laser Printer through the Processor Docking Assembly to the docked
180 LP or 180 LPS Processor.

Introduction
General Information
The Kodak X-Omat 180 LP or 180 LPS Processor is a self-threading roller-type film
processor that is designed only to be integrated with the Kodak Ektascan 2180 Laser
Printer. The Kodak Ektascan 2180 Laser Printer can operate without the Kodak X-Omat
180 LP or 180 LPS Processor, but the Processor cannot operate without the 2180 Laser
Printer. The Processor must be connected to the Printer to receive information and film
from the Printer.
The 180 LP or 180 LPS Processor uses a single-speed Film Transport Motor and has four
racks. They are the Developer, Fixer, Wash, and Dryer Racks. The Processor operates at
the speed of 63 inches per minute. The Receive Magazine in the 2180 Laser Printer can
be used in addition to the 180 LP or 180 LPS Processor, or instead of the Processor. For
example, if two different types of film are loaded in the two Supply Magazines of the
Laser Printer, the Processor could be set up with chemistry to process one type film
while the other type of film could be collected in the Receive Magazine to be processed
in a remote Processor.
The Kodak X-Omat 180 LPS Processor has a 9 Bin Film Sorter installed at the factory.
To improve productivity, each Sorter Bin usually receives films from a particular
imaging device connected to the Laser Printer.
Kodak RP chemicals and Kodak Ektascan HN or HNC laser imaging films
(code EHN-10 and EHNC-10) are recommended for use with the 180 LP or 180 LPS
Processor.

Automatic Replenishment Mode
This is the standard replenishment mode of the Processor. In this mode, replenishment
will occur under 2 conditions:
• The replenishment cycle is activated each time approximately 1500 cm2 (238 in.2)
of film has been processed. This is equivalent to one 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.) sheet
of film. The amount of replenisher that is added for each 1500 cm2 (238 in.2) of
processed film can be adjusted by the operator within a certain range. The default
amounts are 60 mL of developer and 85 mL of fixer.
• The Processor will replenish to compensate for low film usage. Low-volume
applications are those processors that process less than 75 sheets of film in 24 hours
(for continuous-run applications) or over 2 power-up cycles (where the last cycle is
more than 3.5 hours on the replenishment timer). A low-volume application is
further divided, and different replenishment volumes are added accordingly for
proper control:
Sheets on Current Film Count
less than 55 sheets
Replenishment Added over 4 Hours
1 L (125 mL/1⁄2 hour)
56 - 65 sheets
750 mL (93 mL/1⁄2 hour)
66 - 74 sheets
400 mL (50 mL/1⁄2 hour)
Note
The Replenishment Pumps will automatically turn on every1⁄2 hour during the 4-hour
period when extra replenisher is added. This is the normal operating procedure. Do not
be alarmed.

Calibrating the Replenishment System
Procedure
Important
Calibrate the replenisher pumps every 3 months.
Calibration of the replenishment system will determine the actual rate of solution flow
through the Replenishment Pumps for a given period of time.
Measure the volume of solution that is delivered by the system, then use the Display
Panel to enter the measurement into the microprocessor. The microprocessor computes
the rate of solution flow through the Pump, then adjusts the period of time that the Pump
must operate to deliver the replenishment volume that was set.
Note
The volume actually measured during this procedure is not the volume that is delivered
for a 35 x 43 cm sheet of film during normal equipment operation.
[1] To calibrate the replenishment system, press [F4] at the Other Functions Screen to
see the Control Processor Screen.

• the developer is maintained at setpoint temperature. The fixer is maintained at
setpoint temperature or higher, since it is not cooled.
• the Dryer Heater and Blower turn on and off at a fixed interval of 45 seconds. The
Blower is turned on and the temperature is checked. If necessary, the Heater turns
on until the setpoint temperature is reached. Once the proper temperature is reached,
the Blower and Heater turn off and stay off for 45 seconds when the cycle is
repeated.
• the Drive Motor and water supply will turn on and off every 8 minutes for 11⁄2
minutes to keep the Rollers wet.
The Processor will come out of standby mode and operate when a film is printed and sent
to the Processor.
Display Units
When your system is installed and configured, the installer can select the temperature
display format for English (°F), or metric (°C) temperature units. If you need to change

Establishing the Baseline
[1] Check the following:
• The Processor is thoroughly cleaned and functioning correctly.
• The Processor is filled with correctly mixed fresh chemicals.
• The correct developer temperature and replenishment rates have been set.
[2] Set aside a fresh box of Kodak Ektascan HN Laser Film. Designate it as the Quality
Control (“QC”) film and record the emulsion number.
Note
If the film used in the 2180 Laser Printer is used as the “QC” film, then the emulsion
number must be tracked. Each time the emulsion number changes, it will be necessary
to perform a crossover procedure. This procedure is defined on page 16–10.
[3] Calibrate the Printer using the normal procedure.
[4] On 5 consecutive days, expose the “QC” film using the 21-step gray scale test
pattern as described on page 16–2.
[5] After the 5 strips have been exposed and processed, use a Densitometer to read the
density steps on each strip by taking the density readings from the middle of each
of the 21-steps.
[6] Average the density values of the 21-steps for the 5 strips.
Note
For users of the Kodak Process Control Densitometer, the reference values for the
Processor can be entered automatically. Refer to the “Automatic Reference Entry”
section in the Operation Manual for the Kodak Process Control Densitometer
(Publication Part Number 635933).

this step as the Speed Index for all future Speed Index determinations.
[2] Record the step number on the control chart.
[3] Record the average Speed Index value on the control chart.
Determining the Base+Fog Value
[1] Use the 5 day average of gray scale step number 1 (the least exposed step) for the
Base+Fog value.
[2] Record the average Base+Fog value on the control chart.
Determining the Customer Upper Density Point
[1] Determine which gray scale step has an average density closest to 2.90. Designate
this step as the Customer Upper Density Point (CUDP) for all future CUDP
determinations.
[2] Record the step number on the control chart.
[3] Record the average CUDP value on the control chart.
Note
For users of the Kodak Process Control Densitometer, it is recommended that the preset
value of “Dmax” be changed to the CUDP value to more accurately describe the variable
being monitored. Refer to the “Field Editor” section in the Operation Manual,
Publication Part Number 635933, to change the field name and enter the step number
(closest to 2.90 in value) referencing the CUDP.

the same gray scale step numbers recorded on the control chart:
• Speed Index
• Customer Upper Density Point
• Base+Fog
[3] Plot the values and the measured temperature on the control chart.
[4] Evaluate the results and make the necessary adjustments before processing any
film.
5B9615
16–9
User’s Manual
Evaluating the Control Chart
[1] Differences of less than 0.15 should be considered to be normal process variations.
[2] Differences greater than 0.15 require immediate attention.
[3] Differences greater than 0.03 for Base+Fog require immediate attention.
[4] If any points on the control chart reach or exceed the limits, expose and process
another sensitometric strip for comparison. If the same results occur, determine and
correct the cause.
[5] A trend exists if a series of consecutive points (3 or more) progress steadily upward
or downward. Such a trend may be a shift taking place slowly and visibly with
respect to time. Monitor the Processor closely.
[6] Trends or gross fluctuations should be noted and evaluated. Take appropriate
action as necessary.
[7] Record the reasons for fluctuations, such as:
• routine preventive maintenance
• fresh chemicals
• developer starter added
Crossover Procedure
[1] Perform a crossover procedure when the new Kodak Ektascan HN Laser Film used
has an emulsion number different from that of the previously used “QC” film.
[2] On the same day, at the same time, expose the 21-step gray scale and process 5
films from the existing box of “QC” film and 5 films from the box with the new
emulsion number.
[3] Using the same gray scale step numbers, determine the average values for the 2
groups of film for:
• Speed Index
• Customer Upper Density Point
• Base+Fog
[4] Record the average values from the new box of “QC” film on the control chart.
[5] Record the new emulsion number.

General Information
The Kodak X-Omat 180 LP or 180 LPS Sorter Kit is installed onto an existing
Kodak X-Omat 180 LP or 180 LPS Processor. The Kodak X-Omat 180 LPS Processor is
a Processor that has the Sorter installed at the factory. The Sorter has 9 Bins with a
capacity to hold 50 films each and accepts all film sizes, including mixed film sizes.
Each Bin is identified with a number and a customer-written label naming the imaging
device assigned to it. Assignment of Bins is done at the Assign Processor Sorter Bins
Screen on the Printer by the operator or automatically by the Laser Printer.
Films are stacked in each Bin in the order they are printed.
H126_0730AA
17–2
5B9615
Kodak X-Omat 180 LP or 180 LPS Sorter Kit
The operator can sort by Bin or by Study. Sort by Bin allows the operator to assign a
separate Bin for each imaging device. Sort by Study allows the operator to assign a
separate Bin for each Study.
Note
In order to sort by Study, the keypad must be set up for Study Mode. See page 4–25.
Do not allow more than 50 films to accumulate in a Bin. Overfilling the Bins causes the
films to jam in the Sorter film path.
Assign more than one Bin to any imaging device that will accumulate more than 50 films
at one time. If it is not possible to assign multiple Bins, retrieve the films before the Bin
collects more than 50 films.
The Printer will automatically assign the unassigned Bin with the lowest number to a
source when it prints a study for that source if the source is not assigned a Bin by the
operator.

Appendix A - Setting Up Supply Magazines
Overview
There are two film types (blue base and clear base), and four film sizes (8 x 10 inch,
11 x 14 inch, 35 x 35 cm, and 35 x 43 cm) for the 2180 Laser Printer.
A different Supply Magazine setup is required for each film size and type. The Supply
Magazines are set up at the factory for 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 inch) film. If a Supply
Magazine needs to be changed, it can be changed by the Service Representative at the
customer’s site.
When changing film size or type, there are 3 adjustments that need to be made to the
Supply Magazine:
• change the Film Guides
• change the Rear Film Stop Assemblies
• change the Encoding Screws
18–2

Appendix
Changing Film Guides
To change the Supply Magazine Film Guides for different film sizes, you will need a
Torx T10 driver.
• For 11 x 14 inch film, insert Guides in locations, A, A, and C of the Supply
Magazine. Remove the Film Guides from any other locations in the Supply
Magazine.
• For 8 x 10 inch film, insert the Guides in locations B, B, and D of the Supply
Magazine.
• For 35 x 35 cm (14 x 14 inch) film, insert the Guides in locations A and A only.
