The Horizon imager uses a laser to read barcode information on the
media cassettes. The laser module is a 650 – 670-nm device of
1.26 mW or less. As such it has been found to comply with the 21
CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 and IEC 60825 laser standards as a low
power Class 1 device.
For safety reasons, the laser is turned on only for a short time when
a cassette is inserted. Still, one should use caution and never stare
at the laser beam, should avoid exposure to the laser, and should

3UHIDFH
never override any of the interlocks and safety mechanisms. These
measures are taken for your protection.

The Horizon imager generates and uses radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to
radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to
comply with Class A emission limits for a computing device in
accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference when operating in a commercial environment.
Operation of the equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be
required to take whatever measures may be appropriate to correct
the interference. If your imager does cause interference to radio or

3UHIDFH
television reception, you are encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

‡ Reorient the receiving antenna

‡ Relocate the imager with respect to the receiver

If necessary, you should consult Codonics technical support or an

experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
You may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal
Communications Commission helpful: How to Identify and Resolve
Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the

‡ Many plastic components are used in the imager’s construction.

Coat flecking and deformation is likely to occur if the imager is
wiped with chemical dusters, benzene, thinners, insecticides, or
other solvents. Rubber and PVC materials left in contact with the
imager for extended times will cause damage. Never use
petroleum-based solutions or abrasive cleaners.
‡ To clean the imager cover, first power off the imager using the
(power) key at the control panel, then turn the rocker switch
in the backto the 0 (off) position, then unplug the imager. Clean
the cover with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap
and water solution. Allow the cover to completely dry before

‡ For ChromaVista® color prints, the consumed ribbon contains

facsimiles of any patient images printed to ChromaVista color
sheets. Therefore, you must properly dispose of or destroy
consumed ribbon to ensure the confidentiality of patient
images.
‡ The optical density of reflective and transmissive prints have a
nominal range of: Dmin = 0.10 OD (reflective), 0.11 OD
(transmissive) to Dmax = 2.10 OD (reflective), 3.0 OD
(transmissive). Actual optical densities may vary based on media
variations and on the instrument being used to measure density.
For example, DirectVista® Clear film may have a lower Dmin
and Dmax than DirectVista Blue film.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä [[[YLL
 ‡ The Horizon imager includes a built-in densitometer. The built-
in densitometer is designed to produce consistent prints by
compensating for variation from one film cassette to another
and one imager to another. For applications that require
absolute control of the maximum density, the results should be
checked against a bench-top commercial densitometer. The
internal densitometer can be calibrated to a desktop unit. Refer
to Chapter 19 for more information.
‡ DirectVista media is optimized for grayscale prints, while
ChromaVista is optimized for color prints. If ChromaVista is
not giving you satisfactory results with grayscale images, you
may want to consider using DirectVista media for those
applications.
‡ Media variations between different production lots may produce
subtle differences in image quality and color. These variations
most often occur in color ribbons and are characterized as a
slight color hue in grayscale images.
‡ Codonics film media is designed to be viewed using a light box
suitable for viewing medical diagnostic images.
‡ Codonics paper/white film media is designed to be viewed
under cool-white, fluorescent light. Spectral differences and
intensity variations in the viewing light sources can change the
apparent color of images printed on paper/white film.
‡ Printed images that are subject to prolonged exposure to
sunlight, ultraviolet light, or extreme heat may degrade in image
quality. (For example, printed sheets should not be stored in an
automobile on a sunny day.) Precautions should be used to
avoid prolonged direct exposure.

`çÇçåáÅë=m~éÉêLtÜáíÉ=cáäã=jÉÇá~

‡ Different users who share a user name when transferring files to

the imager may cause unpredictable and erroneous printed
output. The imager associates information with the user name.
Each user should have a unique user name when connecting to
the imager via FTP and LPR.

`çäçê=j~å~ÖÉãÉåí

‡ Image settings—including gamma, contrast, Dmax, saturation,

and MCM™ (Medical Color Matching™)—are intended to
compensate for differences that may occur between image
acquisition and image printing. These filters allow you to

3UHIDFH
accurately render the final printed image. You should use care
when applying these filters to avoid over compensation.
‡ The Default User Settings set at the control panel will potentially
affect prints made by all users. Use caution when changing the
default settings.

‡ Scaling an image will filter the original image data and add or
remove information, which may affect the accuracy of the final
printed image. The amount of information added or removed
will also vary with the magnitude of the scale factor applied.
This can also affect the accuracy of the final printed image. You
should be aware of the properties and limitations of each scaling
algorithm and select the appropriate algorithm for the task.

e~êÇï~êÉ=s~êá~íáçåë

‡ Components used in the imager may vary, causing differences in

image quality. The thermal process of producing a print utilizes
many components that are calibrated to provide consistency
between imagers. There are subtle differences between imagers
that can cause print variations. These differences usually apply
to thermal print head calibration. Other factors such as age,
usage, heat, mechanical wear, and shipping can affect image
color and quality.
‡ The type of media used to install software updates and to
backup imager configuration settings depends on hardware
variations. If the imager has a built-in Zip drive, installations and
backups are performed using 100-MB Zip disks. If the imager
does not have a built-in Zip drive, USB flash drives are used with
the USB ports on the rear panel. Throughout this manual, Zip
disks and USB flash drives are referred to as installation media
or backup media, depending on the operation being performed.

Codonics DirectVista grayscale paper/white film and film, and
ChromaVista color paper/white film, are state-of-the-art imaging
media that are ideally suited to CT (computed tomography), MRI
(magnetic resonance imaging), digital radiography, fluoroscopy,
PACS (picture archiving and communication system), ultrasound,
nuclear medicine, portable X-ray, mammography, dental, and other
imaging applications.
DirectVista grayscale direct thermal technology produces stunning,
diagnostic-quality grayscale prints without the need for chemicals
or ribbons.
The unique ChromaVista color dye-diffusion process transfers dyes
from a multi-patch color ribbon onto specially coated paper/white
film. Different levels of heat are used to regulate how much dye is
transferred. The paper/white film is precisely registered in the
imager so that it stays aligned during each pass, resulting in
diagnostic-quality color prints. As an added benefit, you do not have
to remove the color ribbon when printing to DirectVista grayscale
media.

This chapter explains how to configure the imager’s network

settings if it is going to be part of a complex network.

tÜ~í=fë=~=`çãéäÉñ=kÉíïçêâ\

This manual and the Horizon Imager User’s Manual refers to simple
and complex networks, as defined in the next two topics.

páãéäÉ=kÉíïçêâë
A simple network is a local-area network (LAN) that is not connected
to another LAN or wide-area network (WAN). A WAN would include
a connection to the Internet. (Connections to another LAN or a WAN
are typically done through a device called a gateway.)
A simple network typically comprises several devices connected by
Ethernet UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable through an Ethernet
hub. It could also be simpler yet—a workstation or imaging device
connected directly to the Horizon imager using an Ethernet
crossover cable.
1HWZRUN6HWWLQJV

Connecting the Horizon imager to a simple network is covered in

the Horizon Imager User’s Manual.

configurations:

‡ Multiple LANs, connected by routers or gateways

‡ One or more LANs connected to remote LANs (that is, a WAN)
‡ One or more LANs connected to the Internet via an Internet
service provider (ISP)

In addition to physically connecting an Ethernet cable to the imager,

you have to define an IP (Internet Protocol) address for the imager.
This address uniquely identifies the imager on the network.

For complex networks, there are advanced ways of setting up

networking schemes behind a firewall [such as NAT (Network
Address Translation)]. Consult with your network administrator to
see if your network has such a scheme.

d~íÉï~óë
A gateway (sometimes also referred to as a router) is a device that
interconnects two or more networks and passes data from one to
another.
Note that each gateway on a network is treated as a host, and so is
assigned its own unique IP address. For the Horizon imager to be
1HWZRUN6HWWLQJV

able to accept print jobs from other networks, the IP address for its
network gateway must be defined in the imager.
For information about how to define the gateway IP address for the
Horizon imager, refer to “Specifying the Imager’s IP Addresses” on
page 2-10.

 fm=^ÇÇêÉëëáåÖ=_~ëáÅë

fm=^ÇÇêÉëëÉë
IP addresses are used to uniquely identify hosts on a TCP/IP
network.
IP addresses are 32-bit binary numbers, consisting of four octets.
For example:

To make these addresses readable for us, they are typically
expressed in dotted decimal notation. For example, the dotted
decimal notation of the binary address shown above is:

The values in each of the four sections of the dotted decimal
address can range from 0 to 255, because that is the range of an
8-bit binary number.

aÉíÉêãáåáåÖ=tÜ~í=fm=^ÇÇêÉëëÉë=íç=rëÉ
Determining what IP addresses you can use for devices on your
network depends on the following conditions:

OJQ kÉíïçêâ=pÉííáåÖë
‡ Your network is not connected to any other network (for
example, another LAN or the Internet). If this is the case, it
does not matter what IP addresses are assigned to the devices,
as long as they are unique within your network. If you want to
follow the IP standard, the organization that controls assigning
IP addresses has designated that the first two numbers of the
address be 192.168 (for example, 192.168.1.200) for isolated
networks.
‡ Your network is connected to the Internet. In this case, your
IP addresses must be unique within the entire Internet. These
numbers are assigned to companies and Internet service
providers (ISPs). If your network is handled by a network
administrator at your organization, you should see the network
administrator for the IP address to use for the Horizon imager.
If you are handling the network and connecting to the Internet
through an ISP, the ISP will provide you with a block of IP
addresses to use for the devices on your network.
‡ Your network is part of a WAN (that is, there are multiple
LANs or subnets). In this case, unless your network is behind
a firewall, your IP addresses must be unique within the entire
WAN. If your network is behind a firewall, the IP addresses must
still be unique for all devices in the network behind the firewall.
These IP addresses are typically assigned by a network
administrator at your organization. You should see the network
administrator for the IP address to use for the Horizon imager.

 pìÄåÉíïçêâë=~åÇ=pìÄåÉí=j~ëâë
Many organizations with multiple LANs assign IP addresses
according to those physical networks. In such a configuration:

‡ A portion of the IP address represents the Internet part (for

example, the first two dotted decimal numbers) and the physical
network part (for example, the third dotted decimal number).
This is referred to as the subnetwork or subnet portion of the
address.
‡ A portion represents the host (for example, the fourth dotted
decimal number).

For example, say an organization has been assigned the IP network

address 95.200.0.0. This is the address that hosts on the Internet at
large would use. Internally, the organization assigns addresses
based on the physical network to which a host is connected. For
example, all hosts on one physical network would be assigned
addresses in the form 95.200.1.xxx, where xxx is the unique host
ID portion of the address. Hosts on another physical network would
be assigned addresses in the form 95.200.2.xxx, and so on.

The IP standard specifies that all devices have a subnet mask

defined. In the subnet mask, the bits that uniquely identify the
subnet are set to 1; the bits that correspond to the unique host ID
portion are set to 0. Referring to our previous example, the
organization’s subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0
(11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 in octet format).
1HWZRUN6HWWLQJV

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä OJT=
 To determine what subnet mask to use for the Horizon imager:

‡ If your network is maintained by a network administrator,

see the administrator for the subnet mask used at your site.
‡ If you are managing a network that is connected to the
Internet through an ISP, your ISP will provide you with the
subnet mask to use.
‡ If you are managing an isolated network not connected to
any others, use the Horizon default subnet mask
255.255.255.0.

For information about how to define the subnet mask for the
Horizon imager, refer to “Specifying the Imager’s IP Addresses” on
page 2-10.

qÜÉ=eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=~åÇ=ae`m
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet
protocol that allows the dynamic assignment of IP addresses from
a DHCP server. DHCP saves a network administrator from having to
manually configure an IP address to each host on a network. When
a host connects to the network, the DHCP server automatically
assigns it an IP address. When the host disconnects from the
network (for example, shuts down), the address is returned to the
pool of available addresses to be assigned to other hosts. With
DHCP, a host will typically get a different IP address each time it
connects to the network.
Since it is a printing device, the Horizon imager needs a static,
explicit address. This allows remote hosts to know exactly what
address to use to send print jobs. For this reason, the Horizon
imager does not support the DHCP protocol; its IP address must be
manually defined.

OJU kÉíïçêâ=pÉííáåÖë

One effective way to use the Horizon imager’s ability to print on
multiple media types and sizes is to configure the sending
workstation with several “virtual” printers with the Horizon imager’s
IP address. Each of these virtual printers can then be assigned to
use a different Horizon media type and size. Chapter 4 provides
detailed explanations of how to do this for DICOM.
Unfortunately, some systems do not allow multiple printers to be
defined with the same IP address. To address this limitation, the
Horizon imager includes a feature called IP Aliasing that allows the
imager to have up to five IP addresses assigned to it. This is done
by defining a base IP address and then the number of IP addresses
you want to assign. The imager will then be assigned a block of IP
addresses by incrementing the last octet of the base IP address by
one.
For example, if you define a base address of 192.168.1.1 and the
total number of IP addresses at 3, then the imager will assign itself
the IP addresses 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, and 192.168.1.3.
For more information about how to define a block of IP addresses,
refer to “Specifying the Imager’s IP Addresses” on page 2-10.

The Horizon imager supports three network speed/duplex settings:

‡ Auto-Sense. This setting will cause the imager to negotiate for

the fastest speed available on the network. The fastest possible
speed is 1000 Mbps (megabits per second) at full duplex.
‡ 10-Base T and 100-Base T. These two settings are optimized to
match the speed of 10- and 100-Mbps Ethernet networks,
running at half-duplex.

To set the network speed, first use the Auto-Sense setting. If this
setting does not work (some networks may have problems running
at 100 Mbps and/or full duplex), then try using the 100-Base T or
10-Base T setting, as appropriate for your network’s actual speed.

For each device in the network that will be sending print jobs to the
Horizon imager, you must:

‡ Define that device’s IP address, gateway IP address, subnet

mask, and so on
‡ Add the Horizon imager’s IP address to the list of IP hosts with
which the device will communicate

Just how you do this varies, depending on the device and its
operating system. For this reason, you will have to refer to the
documentation that comes with the device for specific instructions.

The Horizon imager supports features and settings that may not be
implemented in existing DICOM user applications. An example of
this is the wide variety of media type and size combinations
supported by the Horizon imager. In this topic, we examine some
of the possible implementations for selecting media type and size,
and present solutions for working within potential DICOM

&RQILJXULQJ',&203ULQWLQJ
application limitations.
For more information about the Horizon print parameters and how
they map to DICOM attributes, refer to “Horizon–DICOM Print
Information” on page 4-7.
The Horizon imager can receive print parameter values from a
variety of sources, including the DICOM attributes sent with the
print job, Horizon Job Settings files, and the Default Media and
Default User Settings menus at the control panel. To fully
understand how to implement Horizon printing solutions, you need
to understand how the imager determines which parameters to use
if they are coming from multiple sources. For more information
about this topic, refer to “Parameter Selection Process” on
page 6-28.

eçêáòçå=qóéÉë=~åÇ=páòÉë
If the DICOM application already supports selecting media types
and sizes (say, from drop-down lists), and they include the types
and sizes supported by the Horizon imager, no alternate
implementations are needed. Users would simply select the desired
Horizon media type and size from within the application.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä QJP=
 If the DICOM application allows you to define multiple printers, all
pointing to the Horizon imager, you could also:

‡ Create a printer for each combination of media type/size

supported by your Horizon imager, and set the defaults for
each printer accordingly. For example, let’s say your imager
supports 14 x 17-in. blue film and 8 x 10-in. clear film. You
could create two printers, name them “Horizon Blue Film
14x17” and Horizon Clear Film 8x10,” and set their media type
and size accordingly. Users would then know which printer to
use for both available media.
‡ Create a printer for each media type, but let users select the
size. For example, let’s say your imager supports all sizes of blue
and clear film. You could create two printers, name them
“Horizon Blue” and “Horizon Clear,” and set their default media
types accordingly. Users would then know which printer to use
for a given media type, but select the appropriate size
themselves.

If you are defining multiple printers that point to the Horizon

imager, you would have to configure the following parameters for
each printer:
‡ The Horizon imager’s IP address
‡ The Horizon imager’s TCP port number—104
‡ The Called AE Title (for the Horizon imager, the default Called
AE Title is Print_SCP)

If the application or operating system does not allow you to define

multiple printers with the same IP address, you could use the
Horizon imager’s IP Aliasing feature. This feature allows you to
assign multiple IP addresses for the same imager. For more
information, refer to “Assigning Multiple IP Addresses with IP
Aliasing” on page 2-9.

It is possible that the DICOM application allows users to choose a
media type and size, but one or more types or sizes supported by
the Horizon imager are not in the list of choices. The solution you
use to overcome this limitation depends on the type of user you are:

‡ If you are a developer [for example, for a value-added reseller

(VAR) or system integrator], you may be able to modify the
application’s properties or configuration file to add the Horizon
types and sizes to the list of choices. If this is not possible, you

&RQILJXULQJ',&203ULQWLQJ
would have to use one of the solutions suggested in the
following alternate solutions topics.
‡ If you are a site administrator or other type of power user
who is responsible for supporting use of the imager, you would
have to use one of the solutions suggested in the following
alternate solutions topics.

Job Settings files are sets of job, sheet, and image parameters—
including the media type and size—that are stored in the imager
and can be applied to a print job. With DICOM, a Job Settings file
can be specified using the name of the Job Settings file as the Called
AE Title. For a complete explanation of Job Settings files, refer to
Chapter 8.
Each imager is preloaded with system Job Settings files that define
each of the available Horizon media type/size combinations (but no
other job, sheet, or image parameters). A list of these system Job
Settings files is included in Appendix B. Note that the
media-specific type/size combinations supported by an imager
depend on the media options purchased for that imager.
rëáåÖ=gçÄ=pÉííáåÖë=cáäÉë=íç=péÉÅáÑó=jÉÇá~=qóéÉ=~åÇ=páòÉ

Following are some alternative solutions for using Job Settings files
to set the media type and size if the DICOM application allows
you to define multiple printers pointing to the same Horizon
imager:

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä QJR=
 ‡ You could create a printer for each of the media type/size
combinations supported by your Horizon imager, and use the
corresponding system Job Settings file name as the Called AE
Title. When the imager receives a DICOM print job, it will use
the media type and size specified in the Job Settings file whose
name matches the Called AE Title. For example, if you wanted
to support printing to 14 x 17-in. DirectVista paper/white film,
you would create a printer that used the Job Settings file name
14x17-dvp as its Called AE Title.
‡ There are two special system Job Settings files called
defaultgrayscale and defaultcolor. These Job Settings files
cause the imager to use the media type and size defined for
grayscale and color in the Default Media menu at the control
panel. So, for grayscale images, you could create a printer in the
DICOM application with the Called AE Title defaultgrayscale,
then set the media type and size you want to use for grayscale
images in the Default Media menu. When the imager receives a
DICOM print job with the Called AE Title defaultgrayscale, it
will use the media type and size specified for grayscale in the
Default Media menu.

If the DICOM application allows you to define only one printer

that points to the Horizon imager, possible media selection
solutions include the following:

‡ You could create a custom Job Settings file at the control panel
called Print_SCP (the default Called AE Title for the Horizon
imager), and set the desired media type and size in the Job
Settings file. However, that would be the only type and size that
could be used, since the Job Settings file overrides all other ways
of defining print job parameters, including the media type and
size settings selected in the Default Media menu.
‡ You could keep changing the printer’s Called AE Title to match
the Job Settings file that defines the media type and size you
want to use for each print job.

QJS `çåÑáÖìêáåÖ=af`lj=mêáåíáåÖ
 rëáåÖ=íÜÉ=aÉÑ~ìäí=jÉÇá~=jÉåì=íç=péÉÅáÑó=jÉÇá~=qóéÉ=~åÇ=páòÉ
As an alternative to using Job Settings files, you could use the
Default Media menu at the control panel to select the media type
and size. The Default Media menu allows you to specify the default
media type and size to use for grayscale images, and the default to
use for color images.
The limitation to this approach is that all grayscale images will be
printed on the same media type and size, and all color images on
the same type and size, unless and until they are manually changed
using the Default Media menu at the control panel.

The Horizon imager supports PostScript print jobs from any

Windows workstation running Windows 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, or
XP. The tasks required to support PostScript printing to the imager
are:

‡ Installing the Horizon imager PostScript driver and PPD file

&RQILJXULQJ3RVW6FULSW
onto the workstation. Instructions for downloading and
installing the Horizon PostScript driver for various versions of

3ULQWLQJ
Windows 98 or newer are described in Technical Briefs. The
Technical Briefs are available on the PostScript Driver CD-ROM
shipped with the imager and on the Codonics web site
(ZZZFRGRQLFVFRP).
‡ Adding the Horizon imager as a Windows desktop printer.
This is done using the standard Windows “Add a Printer” wizard,
or by a “Point and Print” connection as a network printer. When
adding the imager as a desktop printer, you will need to select
the Horizon imager’s PostScript driver and PPD file. For
information about adding the Horizon imager as a desktop
printer, refer to the appropriate Horizon PostScript Technical
Brief.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä RJN
 Once the imager has been added as a desktop printer, users can
print to it from any application using the standard Windows Print
function. For more information about sending PostScript print jobs
and setting Horizon PostScript parameters (such as media type and
size), refer to the Horizon Imager User’s Manual.

^ééäáÅ~íáçåë=qÜ~í=dÉåÉê~íÉ=kçåJpí~åÇ~êÇ=
mçëípÅêáéí
The Horizon imager uses Microsoft Windows print drivers that
generate PostScript commands to transfer page layout information
to the imager. These print drivers are primarily intended for use
with application programs that utilize standard Graphics Device
Interface (GDI) print driver interface calls to construct pages of
graphics and text for output to the imager.
When used with applications that conform to the standard GDI
methods of constructing a page, the advanced configuration
settings of the Horizon print drivers will control the media selection
and image processing capabilities of the imager. The advanced
configuration settings are communicated to the imager as DSC
(Document Structuring Conventions) comments embedded in the
PostScript job stream. These comments are unique to Horizon and
will not work on other imagers. The DSC comments are recognized
by the PostScript-compatible interpreter in the Horizon imager and
set the appropriate media and image processing settings to use for
that print job.
Some applications bypass the traditional GDI methods of
constructing pages. Although rare, these applications generate their
own PostScript commands, ignoring the usual print driver
mechanisms. The custom PostScript job stream is sent directly to the
imager using a special GDI print driver call. Applications using this
technique usually create print jobs that omit the PostScript DSC
comments used by Horizon to control media selection and image
processing. When a Horizon imager receives such a job, the imager
will not know which media to use or how to render the image on
that media. The most common problem when DSC comments are
missing from the PostScript job stream is printing on the wrong
media or rendering the image at the wrong size for the media.

RJO `çåÑáÖìêáåÖ=mçëípÅêáéí=mêáåíáåÖ
The best way to determine if the DSC comments are missing is to
print to a file from the application in question using the Horizon
print driver. After the file is saved, open it with a text editor and
look for a DSC comment in the first 500 lines of the file. Sample DSC
comments are shown in the following example:
IHDWXUHEHJLQ^
%HJLQ)HDWXUH &;0HGLD7\SH&93DSHU
&';)HDWXUH &;0HGLD7\SH&93DSHU
(QG)HDWXUH
`IHDWXUHFOHDQXS

IHDWXUHEHJLQ^
%HJLQ)HDWXUH &;0HGLD6L]H$
&';)HDWXUH &;0HGLD6L]H$
(QG)HDWXUH
`IHDWXUHFOHDQXS
All DSC comments describing Horizon advanced configuration
features begin with the letters “CX.” As shown in the previous
example, the entries CXMediaType and CXMediaSize would be
present if the application program used the Horizon print driver in
the usual manner. If these entries are not in the file, then the
application is probably using the print driver in a non-standard way.
It is important to make sure that non-standard applications are

&RQILJXULQJ3RVW6FULSW
generating proper PostScript output. It is outside of the scope of
this document to describe the PostScript language; however most

3ULQWLQJ
PostScript files are human-readable and have the string “%!PS” at
the beginning of one of the first lines of the file.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä RJP=
 pçäìíáçå=Ñçê=mêçÅÉëëáåÖ=kçåJpí~åÇ~êÇ=mçëípÅêáéí=cáäÉ

The workaround for this problem is to add Horizon Job Setting file
information to the LPR port on any Windows system that sends
print jobs to Horizon. The LPR port transfers PostScript print jobs
from the Windows operating system to Horizon logical device 7 on
the Horizon imager. (For more information on logical devices, refer
to “Horizon Logical Devices That Support PostScript Jobs” on
page 5-12.) Appending a Job Settings file name to logical device 7
will force the imager to use the print parameters set in the Job
Settings file. The parameters set in a Job Settings file provide the
same functionality as the missing DSC comments in the PostScript
print job. Parameters set in a Job Settings file take precedence over
parameters set in PostScript DSC comments.
The easiest way to select a specific media type or size is to use one
of the system Job Settings files that come preloaded with the
Horizon imager. These files define all of the media type/size
combinations supported by the Horizon imager (and only those
parameters). Alternately, you can create custom Job Settings files
that include other print parameters. For more information about Job
Settings files, refer to Chapter 8. A complete list of the system Job
Settings files is provided in Appendix B.
Once you have chosen a suitable Job Settings file, you need to run
the Windows Add a Printer wizard to create a new desktop printer
that points to the Horizon imager. When the wizard displays the
Port Settings, enter the number 7 (specifying Horizon logical device
7), followed by a period and the name of the Job Settings file in the
LPR Queue field. For example, entering 7.8x10-dvfb as the LPR
queue name will force a PostScript job sent to this desktop printer
(that is, the Horizon imager) to print on 8 x 10 DirectVista blue
film. The sample screen that follows shows the Port Settings tab in
the Add a Printer wizard for Windows 2000.

RJQ `çåÑáÖìêáåÖ=mçëípÅêáéí=mêáåíáåÖ
If more than one media type/size combination is required, then you
will have to create a separate desktop printer that points to the

&RQILJXULQJ3RVW6FULSW
Horizon imager for each combination, defining the Job Settings file
to use in the LPR Queue field as described in the previous

3ULQWLQJ
paragraph.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä RJR=
 A final step is to make sure the Advanced Configuration Settings of
the print driver are assigned to match the parameters set in the Job
Settings file you are specifying. This will ensure that application
programs that properly use the print drivers will work the same as
non-standard applications that rely on the Job Settings file. As stated
previously, parameters set in a Job Settings file take precedence
over parameters set in PostScript DSC comments. Since most
applications are well-behaved and will generate the appropriate
DSC comments, it is important to have the media type and size
consistently set for all applications. Refer to the Technical Brief for
the Horizon Windows PostScript driver that you are using for
information on how to set the default properties of the print driver.
It is also recommended that the Windows desktop printers be given
names that indicate what they will do. For example, the printer that
will always print on 8 x 10 DirectVista blue film would have a
name such as “8x10 Grayscale Blue Film.” For users, this will
simplify selecting the correct desktop printer to print to the desired
Horizon media.

The Horizon imager supports PostScript print jobs from any

Macintosh running OS 8, OS 9, or OS X. The tasks required to
support PostScript printing to the imager are:

‡ Installing or upgrading the Apple LaserWriter PostScript

driver (OS 8 and OS 9 only). The compatible version of the
LaserWriter driver is included on the Horizon PostScript Drivers
CD-ROM shipped with the imager.
‡ Installing the Horizon PPD file. Instructions for how to install
the PPD file are included in the Horizon Macintosh Drive
Installation Technical Briefs.
‡ Adding the Horizon imager as a Macintosh printer. This is
done using the standard Macintosh method—via Chooser in
OS 8 and OS 9, and the Printer Setup Utility in OS X.
Complete instructions for installing the necessary files and adding
the imager as a Macintosh printer are included in the Horizon

&RQILJXULQJ3RVW6FULSW
Macintosh Drive Installation Technical Briefs, PDF versions of
which are included on the driver CD-ROM and on the Codonics web

3ULQWLQJ
site (ZZZFRGRQLFVFRP).
Once the imager has been added as a desktop printer, users can
print to it from any application using the standard Macintosh Print
function. For more information about sending PostScript print jobs
and setting Horizon PostScript parameters (such as media type and
size), refer to the Horizon Imager User’s Manual.

UNIX users can send PostScript print jobs to the Horizon imager in
the following ways:
‡ Sending the PostScript file using FTP. With this method, users
specify one of the three Horizon logical devices that support
PostScript files as part of the password when logging in to a
Horizon FTP session. For more information about the logical
devices, refer to “Horizon Logical Devices That Support
PostScript Jobs” on page 5-12.
‡ Printing the PostScript file using LPR. The UNIX user would
pick the Horizon LPR printer that matches the set of Horizon
parameters to use for the print job. This method requires that
you create LPR printers that specify one of three Horizon logical
devices that support PostScript files in the LPR printer
definition.
Both of these methods require that you perform setup tasks so that
users can access Horizon imager parameters that are not included
in the generic set of PostScript parameters, including Horizon media
types and sizes. The available methods are discussed in “Methods
for Selecting Horizon Media Type and Size” on page 5-9. Additional
topics related to implementing PostScript printing are included in
other chapters in this manual:

‡ Because Horizon parameters can be set in a variety of places

(Job Settings files, the PostScript file, at the control panel, and
so on), there is a hierarchy that the imager uses to determine
which source takes precedence over the others. The parameter
source hierarchy is described in “Parameter Selection Process”
on page 6-28.
‡ Horizon logical devices are explained in Chapter 9.

RJU `çåÑáÖìêáåÖ=mçëípÅêáéí=mêáåíáåÖ
‡ Printing files using FTP is covered in Chapter 10.
‡ Printing files using LPR is covered in Chapter 11.

The Horizon imager supports print parameters that are not included
in typical PostScript parameter sets. An example of this is the wide
variety of media type and size combinations supported by the
Horizon imager.
When setting up the imager to support UNIX users, you will need
to determine how you want to allow those users to select
Horizon-specific print parameters such as media type and size,
which in turn determines how to implement the support for these
parameters.
Table 5-1 on page 5-10 describes the approaches you can take to
select the various Horizon media types and sizes. Selecting other
Horizon print parameters can be done using similar approaches.
Note that the suggested PostScript solutions described in this
chapter make a distinction as for which type of user of this
Technical Manual the solution is appropriate:

&RQILJXULQJ3RVW6FULSW
‡ A site administrator or other type of power user who is

3ULQWLQJ
responsible for supporting use of the imager
‡ A developer [for example, for a value-added reseller (VAR) or
system integrator] who is responsible for setting up the imager
for use by a customer

As an example of a media selection implementation using
PostScript, let’s say you want to allow users to print the following:

‡ Grayscale images on 14 x 17 DirectVista grayscale blue film

and A-size DirectVista grayscale paper/white film.
‡ Color images on A-size ChromaVista color paper/white film.

Table 5-2 explains how supporting these choices might be

implemented.

Generally, the Horizon imager is compatible with any PostScript file
that conforms to PostScript level 1, 2, or 3, and is tolerant enough
to process many jobs that do not completely conform.
When sending images to the Horizon imager using FTP or LPR, the
imager uses numbers—referred to as logical devices—to determine
how to process the print job (for more information about Horizon
logical devices, refer to Chapter 9).
There are three Horizon logical devices that support PostScript jobs
sent using FTP or LPR printing, as explained in the following two
topics.
içÖáÅ~ä=aÉîáÅÉë=N=~åÇ=O

The imager will process a PostScript file submitted to logical device

1 or 2 as a PostScript job as long as there is a line that begins with
the percent (%) character within the first 512 bytes of the file.

‡ PostScript files submitted to logical device 1 are rendered as

defined in the PostScript file with no additional scaling.
‡ PostScript files submitted to logical device 2 are rendered as
defined in the PostScript file, then scaled up or down by the
imager to the full printable area of the selected media.

Logical device 7 is reserved for processing PostScript files only.

Because it processes all submitted jobs as PostScript, it is the most
tolerant of the three logical devices in terms of conformance to
PostScript specifications. Marginally compliant or noncompliant
jobs that fail using logical devices 1 and 2 might print successfully
using logical device 7. Logical device 7 is also the only logical
device that can process PostScript files that include Horizon DSC
comments.
PostScript files submitted to logical device 7 are rendered as defined
in the PostScript file with no additional scaling.
Unlike logical devices 1 and 2, logical device 7 will print only the
marked area of the image. That is, any area outside the image is
cropped and will be printed using the specified background color.
For more information about this topic, refer to “Image Cropping
with PostScript Jobs” on page 5-14.

PostScript jobs generally define a white page that is the size of the
printable area of the media, then place text, graphics, or bit-mapped
images in the printable area.
When processing a PostScript file sent to Horizon logical device 1
or 2, the Horizon imager will crop the image data to the smallest
rectangle that still includes all marked pixels in the image (marked
pixels include white pixels, which will appear as no pixels). Unless
a background color has been specified, the margin between the
image area and the boundary of the printable area will print
white.This can be a problem if the image should be printed on a
black background, which is typically the case with film. The white
margin will print between the image and the black background, as
shown in Figure 5-1.

 To eliminate the white margins, use logical device 7. Unlike logical
devices 1 and 2, which will print the white margins, logical device
7 uses an automatic margin cropping feature that removes any
white margins outside the region of marked pixels.
In addition to using logical device 7, developers could use the
Horizon DSC comment CXCropMargin entry, which has the values
True or False.

To properly use the entire printable area on Horizon media, the
PostScript file should use the correct Horizon page size and
maximum printable area size measurements.
The correct page sizes are listed in Table 5-3. The largest printable
areas are specified in Table 5-4 on page 5-17. The printable area
offsets are illustrated in Figure 5-2 on page 5-18.
For an example of how to specify a Horizon media page size in a
PostScript file, refer to the first few lines of code in the “Sample
Horizon DSC Comments in a PostScript File” on page 5-25.

The information in this topic is provided if you want to implement
support for Horizon print job parameters that are not standard
PostScript and need to be implemented as DSC (Document
Structuring Conventions) comments.

Table 5-5 on page 5-20 lists the Horizon print parameters that can
be set only in DSC comments in a PostScript file.
Table 5-6 on page 5-21 lists the Horizon print parameters that can
be set in DSC comments, but can also be set by other means (for
example, Job Settings files).
For a complete description of the Horizon parameters, refer to
Chapter 6. To see a sample use of the Horizon DSC comments in an
actual PostScript file, refer to “Sample Horizon DSC Comments in a
PostScript File” on page 5-25.

&RQILJXULQJ3RVW6FULSW
Note that the sheet orientation, the number of copies to print, and
the layout of images on the sheet are handled using standard

3ULQWLQJ
PostScript commands (not DSC comments).

The sheet and image parameters are summarized in the Horizon

Imager User’s Manual. This chapter includes more detailed
information about all of the parameters, including the job
parameters.

The media types include DirectVista grayscale film and
paper/white film, and ChromaVista color paper/white film. If not
set elsewhere, the imager will default to the media type specified
for Grayscale and Color in the Default Media menu at the control
panel, depending on whether the received image is grayscale or
color.
Possible values are:
‡ DVPAPER
‡ PAPER (mapped to DVPAPER)
‡ DVFILMBLU
‡ BLUEFILM (mapped to DVFILMBLU)
‡ DVFILMCLR
‡ CLEARFILM (mapped to DVFILMCLR)
‡ CVPAPER
‡ COLORPAPER (mapped to CVPAPER)

For all print jobs except PostScript, the image file data (color or
grayscale) determines whether the Color or Grayscale default media
is chosen. For PostScript, the Grayscale default media is always
selected when the media type and size are not otherwise specified.

The Receive Tray parameter—1, 2, or 3—determines to which
receive tray to output sheets for the job. The default is to use the
receive tray that corresponds to the supply slot from which the
sheets are pulled.

To determine from which supply slot to pull sheets, the imager
looks in sequence from slots 1 to 3 for the media type/size specified
in the print job. Once it finds a cassette with the proper media
type/size, the imager pulls sheets from that cassette. The imager will
continue pulling from that cassette for that media type/size until the
cassette is empty, even if a similar cassette is subsequently loaded
in a slot above that one.

Figure 6-1 on page 6-7 shows the components of the Horizon sheet
layout, which are:

‡ Physical Media. The sheet of printed media with all perforated

leaders removed. With ChromaVista color media, the leaders
are not considered part of the physical media.
‡ Standard Image Area. The area inside the physical media that
should appear straight and centered with the worst-case offset
and skew (offset and skew caused by media picking and
transport). Note that this is independent of edge blanking,
explained in the note below.
‡ Full Bleed Image Area. The area within and without the
physical media that should have at least one pixel outside each
edge of the physical media with the worst-case offset and skew.
In other words, each edge of the image will bleed off the edges
of the physical media regardless of the skew or offset.
‡ Border Area. The space between the full bleed area and the

The Background parameter determines the color of areas on the
sheet that do not contain image data (that is, the areas between and
around images) and do not have the background color set in any
other way.
Values that can be set at the control panel are:

‡ White (for paper/white film; the factory default value for

paper/white film) or Clear (for film)
‡ Light Gray
‡ Medium Gray
‡ Dark Gray
‡ Black (the factory default value for film)

In addition, RGB values can be specified for the background in a

Job Settings file (refer to Chapter 8 and Appendix C), and in
command files used with Fixed Multiformatting (FMF) and Variable
Multiformatting (VMF) printing (refer to Chapter 9). RGB colors are
specified as rr/gg/bb where rr, gg, and bb are 2-digit hexadecimal
values from 00 (black) to FF (full color) representing red, green, and

If antialiasing is enabled, PostScript images are enhanced by

rendering them at high resolutions to improve the appearance of
text and vector graphics in the printed image.
The possible values are:

‡ None. No antialiasing is performed.

‡ Better (the factory default). A compromise between antialiasing
quality and overall print speed. Produces results that are visually
equivalent to 600 dpi.
‡ Best. Results in the highest antialiasing quality, but requires the
most processing time. Produces results that are visually
equivalent to 1200 dpi.

By smoothing the edges of text and vector graphics, antialiasing

makes the printed output appear to be better than the resolution of
the imager. PostScript vector and text commands produce excellent
image quality because they allow images to be scaled up or down
to any size with perfect precision. However, PostScript is limited by
the imager’s physical resolution of 320 dpi. Lines and text printed
on sheets may have noticeable “jaggies” or “aliasing” because the
image has to be pixelized prior to printing. As a result, edges will
not appear perfectly smooth when printed.

SJNQ gçÄI=pÜÉÉíI=~åÇ=fã~ÖÉ=m~ê~ãÉíÉêë
 With antialiasing enabled for an image, the imager renders the
image at several times the standard resolution. The rendered image
is then reduced to the standard resolution using a special
antialiasing algorithm. This helps retain more of the original image
information than would normally be included if the image were
rendered directly at the standard resolution. The result is that
jagged edges are replaced by smoother edges containing pixels of
various intensities.
A PostScript file can also contain bit-mapped components. This data
is not mathematically described and may or may not be improved
by antialiasing. The deciding factors are how big the original bit
map is and the final size of the image on the printed sheet. High
resolution bit maps, such as those at greater than 600 dpi, will often
be enhanced by antialiasing.

`çåíê~ëí
Contrast enhancement is an image parameter that allows you to
expand and contract the distribution of pixel densities within an
image. The level of adjustment is specified by a single value ranging
from –100 to +100.
Higher contrast makes light portions of an image lighter and dark
portions darker. Lower values make light and dark portions more
neutral.
Typical settings range from –10 (reduced contrast) to +25 (increased
contrast).

qÜÉ=`çåíê~ëí=`ìêîÉë -RE6KHHWDQG,PDJH

The imager adjusts image contrast by applying a contrast curve to

3DUDPHWHUV

the image prior to printing (refer to Figure 6-2). The shape of the
contrast curve is determined by the contrast setting, which is a
number ranging from -100 to 100. A setting of 0 results in no change
in the image. Settings less than 0 reduce contrast; settings greater
than 0 increase contrast.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä SJNR
 Increasing contrast increases the differences between light and dark
portions of an image so that light areas become lighter and dark
areas become darker. Decreasing contrast reduces these differences.
By manipulating contrast, you can highlight the most important
information within your images, thereby maximizing the usefulness
of your prints.

In Figure 6-2, the pixel values range from 0.0 (pure black) to 1.0
(pure white). As the figure demonstrates, positive contrast settings
increase contrast, while negative contrast settings reduce contrast.
The larger the contrast setting, the more pronounced the
adjustment. Note that, except for large negative settings (large
reductions in contrast), pure white and pure black are always left
unchanged so that the absolute density range of the image is
unaffected.

Gamma correction is an image parameter that allows you to adjust
the lightness/darkness level of printed images. The amount of
correction is specified by a single value ranging from 0.05 to 10.0.

tÜó=rëÉ=d~ãã~=`çêêÉÅíáçå\

Gamma correction allows you to better match the intensity of your

prints to what you see on your computer monitor. For instance, an
image that appears fine on the monitor might print out darker on
the imager. This is because the imager gamma (the characteristic
traversal from dark to light) is different from that of the monitor.
To fix this problem, you can select a gamma curve to be applied to
the image before printing that will lighten or darken the overall tone
of the image without affecting the dynamic range. The shape of the
gamma curve is determined by a number ranging from 0.05 to 10.0
known as the gamma value. Figure 6-3 shows several gamma
curves demonstrating the effect that the gamma value has on the
shape of the gamma curve.

 In Figure 6-3, the pixel values range from 0.0 (pure black) to 1.0
(pure white). As the figure shows, gamma values of less than 1.0
darken an image. Gamma values greater than 1.0 lighten an image,
and a gamma equal to 1.0 has no effect on an image.
The actual gamma function used within the imager is:

where xis the original pixel value and gammavalis the gamma
value ranging from 0.05 to 10.0.
This curve is valuable in maintaining the pure black and white parts
of the image, while adjusting the values in-between in a smooth
manner. The overall tone of an image can be lightened or darkened
depending on the gamma value used, while maintaining the
dynamic range of the image.
`ÜççëáåÖ=íÜÉ=_Éëí=d~ãã~=s~äìÉ

An easy approach for choosing the appropriate gamma value is to

use the imager’s Bracketing feature. Using this feature, an image is
printed in two 4 x 5 grids in which gamma and contrast are varied
on one sheet and, for ChromaVista media, gamma and saturation
are varied on a second sheet.
To determine the desired gamma value, you can use the Horizon
Bracketing function to examine printed images and see which one
looks best to you. For more information about the Bracketing
function, refer to Chapter 14.

Often, gamma correction and contrast enhancement are used
together on the imager to achieve the best results.

A fundamental property of contrast is that it splits the gray levels of

an image down the middle. When increasing contrast, for example,
pixels that are darker than 50% gray are made darker and pixels that
are lighter than 50% gray are made lighter. This works fine when
the image to be enhanced is already evenly distributed around the
50% gray level. If this is not the case, contrast will not have the
desired effect. For instance, if an image is already very dark, with
most pixels being darker than 50% gray, then increasing contrast
will tend to make the image even darker. Likewise, light images will
tend to be made lighter by an increase in contrast.
Gamma correction can be used to overcome this problem. On the
imager, gamma correction is applied to an image before contrast
enhancement. Because of this, gamma can be used to lighten or
darken the image so that it is evenly distributed around the 50%
gray level before contrast is applied, causing contrast enhancement
to produce the intended result. If a print turns out to be too dark or
too light following contrast enhancement, the user need only adjust
the gamma value on the imager until the desired output is achieved.
For more information, refer to “Gamma” on page 6-17.

Achieving a match between a monitor and printed output has long

been a challenge to makers of hardcopy output devices. The reason
for the difficulty lies in the physics of color, how it is created by
output devices, lighting conditions, and how it is perceived by the
human eye.
An image that is displayed on a monitor is composed of
combinations of three primary component colors: red, green, and
blue. Each primary imparts light of a different wavelength, or color,
to the system. A wide array of colors can be created by adding these
primaries together in various amounts. This is known as an additive
process.
Printed output is different in that it creates color by filtering out
specific colors from the white light that hits the print media. This is
known as a subtractive process. By combining the three subtractive
primary colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) in various amounts, a
large range of colors can be reproduced.
qÜÉ=`Ü~ääÉåÖÉ=çÑ=`çäçê=j~íÅÜáåÖ

The difference between the additive and subtractive modes of color

generation makes producing a visual match between the monitor
screen and the imager hardcopy difficult. Primarily, the screen is
able to impart energy to the color system, while the imager can only
take energy away. Because of this, monitors typically can produce
brighter and more vivid colors, with more dynamic range, than the
best hardcopy devices.
Secondly, because hardcopy processes are subtractive, they depend
on the outside world to provide a light source. Typically, this light
is the ambient light of the room, provided by fluorescent or
tungsten lighting. Because light sources vary dramatically in terms
of the wavelengths of light they emit, the perceived color or overall
-RE6KHHWDQG,PDJH

cast of a print will differ with changes from one light source to
3DUDPHWHUV

another, and even as the print is moved from room to room.

 `çÇçåáÅë=jÉÇáÅ~ä=`çäçê=j~íÅÜáåÖ

Despite these difficulties, the problem of monitor-to-imager color

matching is not insurmountable. An advanced set of algorithms has
been developed that transforms images between the monitor and
imager color spaces so that imager output more closely matches the
screen. No special calibration of the monitor is required, and no
processing need be done to the images being displayed. This is an
important benefit that the Codonics MCM has over other color
matching schemes.
qÜÉ=fã~ÖÉê=fë=`Ü~åÖÉÇI=kçí=íÜÉ=jçåáíçê
Traditional schemes, such as PANTONE and TRUMATCH, require
the screen and printer to be calibrated to some industry standard.
This means that images must be manipulated before being viewed
on the monitor. With MCM, this is not the case. The imager output
is adjusted to match the monitor, so that users will see on the screen
what they have always seen and will have no uncertainty about the
integrity of their screen image. This can be especially important in
certain disciplines, including ultrasound, nuclear medicine, PET
(Positive Emission Tomography), CT, and MR. In addition, because
all MCM processing is performed on the imager, the user’s imaging
equipment is free to perform more important tasks.
For medical users, MCM technology pays particularly close attention
to “medical blues,” producing images for the medical market that
traditional approaches cannot accomplish.

The Polarity parameter determines whether to invert (or reverse)
the image data, which is referred to as negative polarity. Negative
polarity can be useful in certain applications such as nuclear
medicine.
For grayscale images, negative polarity maps black to white, and
vice-versa. The negative polarity also applies to color images,
mapping colors to their complementary colors.
Note that negative polarity is applied before any other
image-enhancement changes, such as gamma, contrast, scaling
filters, and so on.
The possible values for Polarity are:

‡ Positive (the factory default). No polarity adjustment is made.

‡ Negative. Image polarity is reversed.

To accommodate NP series imager legacy support, image polarity
can also be specified using a negative gamma value from –10 to
–0.5. A negative gamma value indicates to the imager to reverse the
polarity of the image data and use the absolute value of the setting
value as the gamma setting. For example, the value –1 would make
the polarity negative and specify a gamma setting of 1.

Saturation is a property of color that specifies how far a color is

from a gray tone of the same density. Colors run the gamut from
highly saturated ones (such as pure red, green, and blue, which
have no gray in them at all) to completely unsaturated ones, which
are pure grays with no color hue in them.
The Saturation parameter is a feature that increases or decreases
saturation by removing or adding white to an image. A Saturation
value of 0 produces no change in the image, a 0% reduction in
saturation. A Saturation value of –100 removes all of the saturation
from the image, producing a grayscale output. A Saturation value of
100 adds the maximum amount of saturation to an image.

SJOQ gçÄI=pÜÉÉíI=~åÇ=fã~ÖÉ=m~ê~ãÉíÉêë
tÜó=rëÉ=p~íìê~íáçå\

Generally, dye-diffusion imagers have the ability to print a large

range of densities. This means that the imager can print very black
blacks (high Dmax). However, this feature can sometimes cause
highly saturated colors (that is, those that are very pure) to print
darker than they appear on a workstation monitor. The Saturation
parameter allows users to de-saturate and lighten the colors in their
prints so that they better match what they see on their monitor.
On the other hand, oversaturating can make colors appear more
vibrant, which is desirable in some imaging applications. For
example, extra saturation in photographs can bring out details and
vibrancy in the images. Note that if the saturation setting is too high,
the printed image can include artifacts (due to discontinuities in the
color mapping).
`ÜççëáåÖ=íÜÉ=p~íìê~íáçå=s~äìÉ

You can use the Horizon Bracketing feature (refer to Chapter 14) to
print representative images for your site at various Saturation
settings. You can then pick the image with the most desirable
appearance, and use that image’s Saturation setting when printing
images in your application.
Note that the default setting 0 is optimized for the smoothest
blending of color mapping and grayscale, the maximal number of
colors, and accurate sensitometry, but not necessarily for the most
vibrant color appearance. Typical settings to use to add vibrancy to
an image are 0 to 50.

Scaling refers to whether an image is printed at original size, or

Most computer images are stored as fixed collections of color dots

or “pixels.” These images are known as pixel-mapped, bit-mapped,
or raster images.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä SJOR
 Depending on how cell size is set up for an image, it is highly
unlikely that the image will fit exactly within that cell without doing
some scaling. When scaling is enabled, the imager will scale the
image to fit in its allotted cell area, applying the specified filter to
determine how to remap (interpolate/extrapolate) the image pixel
data. Note that certain filters will have advantages over others in
optimizing the final image quality, based on the type of image, the
application, and how the image is being scaled (up or down).
`ÜççëáåÖ=íÜÉ=oáÖÜí=pÅ~äáåÖ=cáäíÉê

The Horizon imager offers several choices of scaling filters,

described in Table 6-2. Each filter has unique traits that make it
appropriate for different types of images and applications.
For different types of common images used by a site, try using
different scaling filters to see which ones generates the best results
for your application.

When the Horizon imager receives a print job, it goes through a

predefined sequence of job, sheet, and image parameter sources to
determine what parameter settings to use for the job. This sequence
varies, depending on how the print job was sent, as shown in
Figure 6-4.

For example, say the Contrast parameter is set in a Job Settings file
specified for a DICOM print job (via the Called AE Title that is used).
As the imager processes the print job to assemble the parameters to
use, once it sees the Contrast setting in the Job Settings file, a
Contrast value in the DICOM attributes or in the Default User
Settings at the control panel are ignored.
Likewise, if the Contrast parameter was not set in the Job Settings
file, the imager would default to the Contrast value in the DICOM
print session information. If Contrast was not set in either the Job
Settings file or in DICOM, the value set in the Default User Settings
at the control panel would be used.

The methods available to Horizon imager users for selecting the
media type and size for a print job can vary widely, depending on
the application and operating system environment used to send the
print job. To implement the most flexible and efficient method for
specifying a Horizon media type and size, it is important that you
understand how the imager determines what media size and type
to use.
The following steps describe the algorithm used to select the media
for a job when it is received. The concept of “application settings”
applies to DICOM or PostScript jobs only. An application setting is
a parameter implicit in the protocol used to send the print job (such
as a DICOM field or a PostScript DSC comment).

1. The print job media type and size are initialized to those of the
Default Media settings, based on whether the current job is
grayscale or color. This guarantees that they start out with valid
values, since only valid media combinations are allowed for
Default Media settings.
-RE6KHHWDQG,PDJH

2. If the media type and/or media size are set by User Settings,
3DUDPHWHUV

then they overlay the current print job media type and/or size,
possibly altering their values. Note, however, that the use of
User Settings is not recommended.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä SJOV
 3. If the media type and/or media size are set by the application
for the current job, then they overlay the current print job media
type and/or size, possibly altering their values. If not provided
by the application, then the print job media type and/or size
retain their default value from step 1.
4. If the application indicates a Job Settings file (either system or
custom), then the media type and size are processed as follows:
‡ If the media type is specified in the Job Settings file, then it
overlays the imager default type and the type, if specified, by
the application.
‡ If the media size is specified in the Job Settings file, then it
overlays the imager default size and the size, if specified, by
the application.
This allows the Job Settings file to override both the imager
defaults and the values sent by the application.
5. Steps 1 through 3 yield a print job media size and type selection
for the current sheet, which is then compared to the imager’s
valid media list. The valid media list takes into account the
model designation and enabled Feature Keys of the current
imager.
‡ If the print job media combination is valid (supported) for
the current imager, then the selection is used, and the
current sheet is queued for that media.
‡ If the media combination is invalid (not supported) for the
current imager, then the values revert to the Default Media
settings, from step 1, since these are guaranteed to be valid.
(This also ensures that a print is always queued, regardless
of the media indicated by the job and its associated
parameters.)

SJPM gçÄI=pÜÉÉíI=~åÇ=fã~ÖÉ=m~ê~ãÉíÉêë
jÉÇá~=pÉäÉÅíáçå=mêçÅÉëë=Ñçê=af`lj

As an example, the protocol that the imager uses to determine the

media size and type for a DICOM print job is as follows:

‡ If a Job Settings file is specified, and it defines a media type

and/or size supported by the imager, then that type and/or size
are used.
‡ If no Job Settings file is specified, or if the media type and/or
size defined in it are not supported, and the print job data from
the application defines a supported type and/or size, then that
type and/or size is used.
‡ If the media type and/or size are not defined in the print job
data or in a specified Job Settings file, or if those specified are
not supported by the imager, the type and/or size defined in the
Default Media settings (set at the control panel) are used. There
are two sets of Default Media settings—one for grayscale
images, and one for color images.

Figure 6-5 shows a summary of the DICOM media selection

process.
Note that User Settings cannot be used with DICOM print jobs.

User Settings files are custom sets of sheet and image parameters
that can be stored in the imager and applied by using a specific user
name. User Settings are optional and used only when performing
single-image, Fixed Multiformatting (FMF), Variable Multiformatting
(VMF), or 35mm SlideMaker printing via FTP or LPR.

Custom User Settings files can contain any of the sheet or image
parameters set in the Default User Settings menu at the imager’s
control panel. However, there are important differences:
‡ You do not have to specify all parameters in a User Settings file.
Any parameters that are not specified in a User Settings file
automatically default to the imager’s Default User Settings.
‡ The imager’s Default User Settings values apply to every print
job, while a custom User Settings file applies only to
single-image, FMF, and VMF print jobs sent via FTP and LPR
when logged in using the associated user name.

For a complete listing of the sheet and image parameters, and how
parameters in custom User Settings files are applied relative to other
sources of parameters, refer to Chapter 6.

To create a User Settings file using text files, you:

1. Create an ASCII text file that contains one or more sheet and/or
image settings.
2. Use FTP or LPR to send the User Settings text file to the Horizon
imager. Both methods include a way for you to specify to which
User Settings file the text file applies.
The following topics explain how to create a User Settings text file,
and then transfer it to the Horizon imager.

`êÉ~íáåÖ=~=rëÉê=pÉííáåÖë=qÉñí=cáäÉ
Use a text editor on your workstation to open a new file for the User
Settings text file. Do not use a word processor that embeds control
characters and other non-ASCII bytes in the files.

 Use the following guidelines to create setting entries in the User
Settings text file:
‡ Enter one setting per text line.
‡ For each setting you want to specify, enter the setting name and
the setting value, separated by a space, a tab character, or an
equal sign (for example, *$00$  or *$00$ ).
‡ You can specify settings that would apply to all media types, or
specify settings that apply to specific media types.
 To enter User Settings that apply to all media types, enter
the heading >'HIDXOW@ (including the square brackets),
followed by the settings and their values. All the settings
following that heading and up to the next media type
heading will apply to all media types.
 To enter User Settings for a specific media type, enter the
media type heading (for example, >&93$3(5@), followed by
the desired settings and their values. All the settings
following that heading and up to the next media type
heading will apply to that media type.

‡ Parameters and values are not case sensitive (for example,

MEDIASIZE is equivalent to mediasize). Values need only be
specified with as many characters as required to ensure
uniqueness, although the minimum is 3 characters (for example,
BIL is equivalent to BILINEAR for the Scale parameter). The
exception is that the Mediasize values must be spelled out
completely. For a list of the sheet and image parameter names
that can be used in the text file, refer to Appendix C.
‡ You do not have to set all of the settings in the file, only the ones
that you want to force to be used when this User Settings file is
used. Any settings not set in the file will default those set in the
User Default Settings menu at the control panel.

To send a User Settings text file using LPR, the Horizon imager
logical device 0 must be set up as an LPR printer (for more
information, refer to Chapter 11). Once the logical device 0 LPR
printer is set up, log in as the user whose User Settings text file you
are about to send. Then, print the User Settings text file to that LPR
printer.
The imager will create a User Settings file—based on the parameters
included in the text file—for the user that you are logged in as.

Job Settings are sets of job, sheet, and image parameters that can be
stored as files in the imager and applied by using a specific Job
Settings file name. A Job Settings file can be specified in the
following ways:

‡ With DICOM, using the name of the desired Job Settings file as
the Called AE Title.
‡ With FTP, specifying an appropriate Horizon logical device
number and the Job Settings file in the FTP session password.
‡ With LPR, with the Horizon imager set up as an LPR printer
whose definition includes an appropriate logical device and Job
Settings file in an LPR printer definition. The Job Settings file
would also apply to PostScript jobs sent via LPR.

The Horizon imager includes predefined system Job Settings files,

which specify the various combinations of supported media types
and sizes. For more information, refer to “System Job Settings Files”
on page 8-3.
You can also create custom Job Settings files. For more information,
refer to “Custom Job Settings Files” on page 8-3.

 Although setting up and using custom Job Settings files may seem
complex, they offer significant power and flexibility in how sheets
can be printed.

Job Settings files can contain any of the parameters included in the
imager’s Default User Settings set at the control panel. However,
there are important differences:

‡ You do not have to specify all parameters in a Job Settings file.

Any parameters not set in the file will be selected according to
the parameter source hierarchy (for more information about the
parameter source hierarchy, refer to “Parameter Selection
Process” on page 6-28).
‡ You can specify the Media Type, Media Size, Receive Tray, and
Priority parameters in a Job Settings file, which you cannot do
in the Default User Settings menu.
‡ The imager’s Default User Settings values apply to every print
job (unless overridden by a value set above it in the parameter
source hierarchy), while the setting values in a Job Settings file
apply only if that Job Settings file is selected.

For a complete listing of the job, sheet, and image parameters, and
how Job Settings are applied relative to other sources of parameters,
refer to Chapter 6.

Your Horizon imager comes with predefined system Job Settings
files for every supported media size and type combination,
including the default Grayscale and Color media defined using the
Default Media menu at the control panel. There are also system Job
Settings files that set the print priority and specify which receive
tray to use. For a complete list of the system Job Settings files and
which parameters are included in each one, refer to Appendix B.
The system Job Settings files are typically used with DICOM
printing, if the DICOM user application does not support specifying
media type and size.

In addition to the system Job Settings files that come with your
Horizon imager, you can create custom Job Settings files to specify
any combination of custom job, sheet, and image parameters.
There are two ways to create custom Job Settings files:

‡ Using the Custom Job Settings menu function at the control

panel, as described in the next topic.
‡ From a workstation on the same network, creating an ASCII
text file that includes the parameters to be set and then sending
the file to the Horizon imager using FTP or LPR. This is
explained in “Custom Job Settings—Text Files” on page 8-11.

To create Job Settings files using text files, you:

1. Create an ASCII text file that contains one or more sheet and/or
image settings.
2. Use FTP or LPR to send the Job Settings text file to the Horizon
imager. Both methods include a way for you to specify to which

&XVWRP-RE6HWWLQJV
Job Settings file the text file applies.
The following topics explain how to create a Job Settings text file,
and then transfer it to the Horizon imager.

`êÉ~íáåÖ=~=gçÄ=pÉííáåÖë=qÉñí=cáäÉ
Use a text editor on your workstation to open a new file for the Job
Settings text file. Do not use a word processor that embeds control
characters and other non-ASCII bytes in the files.
Note that custom Job Settings files that you create using text files
will appear on the Job Settings control panel menu.

‡ Enter one setting per text line.

‡ For each setting you want to specify, enter the setting name and
the setting value, separated by a space, a tab character, or an
equal sign (for example, *$00$  or *$00$ ).
‡ Parameters and values are not case sensitive (for example,
MEDIASIZE is equivalent to mediasize). Values need only be
specified with as many characters as required to ensure
uniqueness, although the minimum is 3 characters (for example,
BIL is equivalent to BILINEAR for the Scale parameter). The
exception is that the Mediasize values must be spelled out
completely. For a list of the parameter names and values that can
be used in the text file, refer to Appendix C.
‡ To conserve Job Settings files storage on the SmartCard, it is
recommended that you do not include parameters for which you
simply want to use default settings. Any settings not set in the
Job Settings file will be set according to the parameter selection
hierarchy.

‡ When the imager processes a Job Settings text file, any invalid
lines in the file are ignored. For example, if an invalid media
type and media size combination is specified, the media type
and size are ignored (but other valid entries in the Job Settings
file would be processed).

For example, suppose you have determined that certain image

parameters—gamma of 1.3, contrast of 5, and saturation of –10—
produce images that are satisfactory to a user called Joe. Also, the
media type and size will be determined elsewhere (for example,
from the DICOM user interface). The entries in the custom Job
Settings text file called JoesPrefs.txt would have the following
entries:
*$00$ 
&2175$67 
6$785$7,21 

&XVWRP-RE6HWWLQJV
Now suppose that Joe’s DICOM user interface does not support
selecting the media type and size, and that Joe typically prints to
A-size ChromaVista color paper/white film. You could then create
a custom Job Settings text file called JoesASizeCVP.txt that would
have the following entries:
0(',$7<3( &93$3(5
0(',$6,=( $
*$00$ 
&2175$67 
6$785$7,21 
Let’s say you then transfer the text file, specifying the corresponding
Job Settings file name as JOESASIZECVP. Any time Joe wanted to
print to A-size ChromaVista color paper/white film, he would
specify the Job Settings file called JOESASIZECVP by choosing the
Called AE Title of the same name as the destination.

8 1. From your computer workstation, initiate an FTP session with

the Horizon imager.
7RVHQGD-RE
6HWWLQJVILOHWR For example, from a command line interface, you would enter

You are prompted for a user login.
2. Enter any user login name (it does not matter what the name is).
You are prompted for a password.
3. Enter 0 (the number zero), followed by a period, then the name
of the Job Settings file you want to create.
For example:
-2(6$6,=(&93
The combination of the 0 and the name in the password tells the
Horizon imager that you are going to be working with the Job
Settings file called JOESASIZECVP, and to create the file if it
does not already exist. (The 0 specifies the Horizon
configuration logical device; for more information about logical
devices, refer to Chapter 9.)
When the FTP session starts, the FTP prompt (IWS!) is displayed.

Before attempting to use LPR to send a Job Settings text file to the
imager, an LPR printer must be created that specifies the Horizon
imager’s logical device 0 with the name of the Job Settings file
appended to it. For more information on Horizon logical devices,
refer to Chapter 9. For information on how to specify a Horizon
logical device with a Job Settings file name appended to it in an LPR
printer definition, refer to Chapter 11.

want to use, called JOESASIZECVP. The definition for this LPR
printer would specify the logical device (in the /etc/printcap
file, the rp parameter) as 0.JOESASIZECVP.
If the text file for this Job Settings file is called
JoesASizeCVP.txt, you would enter the following lpr command:

The Horizon imager allows you to specify the following sheet
format options when printing using FTP and LPR:

‡ Printing single-image sheets, both scaled and unscaled.

‡ Fixed Multiformatting (FMF), using preset fixed layouts of image
cells on the sheet.
‡ Variable Multiformatting (VMF), allowing you to specify the
number, size, and layout of image cells on the sheet.
‡ 35mm SlideMaker, allowing you to print multiple images in a

/RJLFDO'HYLFHVDQG6KHHW
format identical to 35mm slide film. Slides are arranged as six
filmstrips of four slides each.

)RUPDWWLQJ
You choose the sheet format option to be used by specifying a
Horizon imager logical device number that corresponds to the
format option. Logical devices are explained in “Understanding
Logical Devices” on page 9-2.
If you are going to print using FTP or LPR and logical devices, you
may want to consider using FMF first. FMF is easier to use than VMF.
However, both methods offer significant power and flexibility in
how sheets can be printed.

When sending images to the Horizon imager using FTP or LPR, the
imager uses numbers—referred to as logical devices—to determine
what sheet format option to use. Typically, the number represents
the layout of the images on a sheet. For example, an FMF 6-up sheet
using a 2-column by 3-row image matrix would be designated by
the logical device 23. There are also other logical device numbers
reserved for special uses, such as scaling or not scaling images
printed to 1-up sheets.
The following table describes the available logical devices and how
they are used.

You specify a logical device by one of the following methods:

‡ For FTP, entering the logical device number as the password

when logging in to the FTP session. For more information, refer
to Chapter 10.

/RJLFDO'HYLFHVDQG6KHHW
‡ For LPR, using an LPR printer that has been set up for the
Horizon imager, defining the printer’s logical device setting

Logical device 2 (Scaled device) enables you to print a single image
at the largest size that will fit in the imageable area of the sheet.
Typically, you will want to send all single images to this logical
device.
The image is proportionally scaled and, if the Rotate parameter is
set to Auto, automatically rotated if necessary, to ensure that the
image prints at the largest possible size. Sheet and image settings
are applied to the image and used for the scaling and rotation
values. The image is centered on the imageable area of the sheet,
accounting for captions if they are used.

To print single scaled images using FTP, you need to log in to the
FTP session using logical device number 2 in the password. You can
also specify a Job Settings file by appending the logical device
number with a period (.) and the Job Settings name. For example:

To print single scaled images using LPR, you need to create an LPR
printer for each logical device 2/Job Settings pair that you anticipate
using. For more information on how to do this, refer to Chapter 11.
Once an LPR printer entry exists, you can send images to it. For
example:

Logical device 1 (Unscaled) is used to print a single, unscaled image
on a sheet.
The image is printed using the same number of lines and pixels as
the original image. Therefore, the size of the printed image is
determined by the Horizon imager’s 320-dpi resolution. For
example, a 640 x 480 pixel image will print at 2 x 1.5 in. (The image
as viewed at a monitor or printed on a different device might be a
different size, depending on the device’s resolution.).
You should send any one-sheet images that you do not want scaled
to the imager using this logical device. All sheet and image settings
are applied, except that the image is not scaled.

 Raster images that are too large in a given dimension to fit on the

To print single unscaled images using LPR, you need to create an

LPR printer for each logical device 1/Job Settings file pair that you
anticipate using. For more information on how to do this, refer to
Chapter 11.
Once an LPR printer entry exists, you can send images to it. For

Logical devices 11 through 99 enable you to print sheets using

preset fixed layouts, referred to as Fixed Multiformatting (FMF). If
needed, you can customize certain sheet, cell, and fill values to
override the imager defaults. The following figure shows the
components of a fixed format sheet.

You can also specify custom sheet and image settings, including
image orientation, border and fill colors, and number of copies,
among others.
Any custom values you specify using FMF logical devices override
settings specified by other means (for example, Job Settings or the
imager default settings).
To use custom sheet, cell, and fill values with FMF, you create ASCII
text files that contain control commands, then send the command
files to the imager prior to sending the images.

 eçï=fã~ÖÉë=^êÉ=mä~ÅÉÇ=çå=íÜÉ=pÜÉÉí
A sheet is divided into equal-sized cells and a single image is scaled
to fit inside each cell. The first digit in the logical device specifies
the number of images across the sheet, and the second digit
specifies the number of images down the sheet. For example,
logical device 23 generates a 2 x 3 image sheet; logical device 34
generates a 3 x 4 image sheet.

 

 

 

)LJXUH  6KHHW)RUPDW&RUUHVSRQGLQJWR/RJLFDO'HYLFH

Images are tracked by your login name/host name combination to

keep all images received from a user together on the same sheet.
This allows multiple users to print fixed format sheets at the same
time.
Images are processed in the order they are received, and placed in
the appropriate cells. The sheet is printed automatically when all
the cells are filled, or if the user sends a Print command file.

VJNM içÖáÅ~ä=aÉîáÅÉë=~åÇ=pÜÉÉí=cçêã~ííáåÖ

Fixed layouts orient the cells so the side of the matrix with the
greater number of cells is placed along the longest edge of the
paper/white film. If the number of cells on both sides of the matrix
is the same, portrait orientation is used. Refer to the following
figures.

When the Horizon imager receives a text file during an FTP print
session or via LPR, it knows to treat it as a command file and
execute the command specified in it.
cjc=`çãã~åÇ=cáäÉ=`çåîÉåíáçåë

When creating FMF command files, use the following guidelines:

‡ You can use any name you want for the command file, as long
as it is an ASCII text file. Of course, you will probably want to
use names that indicate the purpose of the file. For example, if
you create a Setup command file for a 6-up sheet format, you
might name the Setup command file setup_6up.txt.
‡ Each command file must have only one command.
‡ The first line of the file must contain the command name.
‡ The contents of the command files are case-insensitive—you can
use upper- or lowercase letters.
‡ You can use the following delimiters between parameter entries
in the file: space characters, tabs, or newline characters (CR or
LF).

VJNO içÖáÅ~ä=aÉîáÅÉë=~åÇ=pÜÉÉí=cçêã~ííáåÖ
pÉíìé=`çãã~åÇ=cáäÉ=`çåíÉåíë

The format of a Setup command file is:

VHWXS
>ODQGVFDSH_SRUWUDLW@
>FRSLHVF@
>JDSJ@
>PDUJLQP@
>EDFNJURXQG_FRORUUUJJEE@
>FHOOUUJJEE@
>HPSW\UUJJEE@
>VFDOHILOWHU@
>DVSHFW[\@
If you do not include an entry for a particular parameter, the default
value for that parameter will be used, as set in the custom Job
Settings file (if used) or the User Default Settings menu at the
control panel.
The following table describes the parameters that can be specified
in the Setup command file.

would cause the sheet to be printed as follows:

‡ Force landscape orientation

‡ Make 5 copies
‡ Use 2-pixel wide lines to frame images, and make the lines 50%
gray in color
‡ Use bicubic scaling for images, if scaling is performed

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä VJNR=
 mêáåí=`çãã~åÇ=cáäÉ=`çåíÉåíë

The entry in the Print command file should be:

SULQW
or
SULQWFRSLHVF
where c is the number of copies, from 1 to 99. If the number of
copies is not specified, one sheet is printed.
`~åÅÉä=`çãã~åÇ=cáäÉ=`çåíÉåíë

The only entry in the Cancel command file should be:

To use FMF during an FTP session, you need to log in to the FTP
session using the FMF logical device number in the password that
corresponds to the desired sheet format. You can also specify a Job
Settings file by appending the logical device number with a period
(.) and the Job Settings file name. For example:
0<6(77,1*6
You can then send FMF commands at any time during an FTP
session. The command will apply to the sheet currently being
assembled. The Setup command will affect all subsequent sheets,
until another Setup command is sent.

To use FMF with LPR, you need to create an LPR printer for each
FMF logical device/Job Settings pair that you anticipate using. For
more information on how to do this, refer to Chapter 11.
Once an LPR printer entry exists, you can send images to it for
printing. You can also use the FMF commands to control the image
and sheet settings, and manually force a sheet to print.
To send an FMF command file to the imager using LPR, you simply
specify the command file in the lpr command. For example:
OSU3K]QIPIXSVHWXSXSW[W

/RJLFDO'HYLFHVDQG6KHHW

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä VJNT=

Logical device 10 is the Variable Multiformatting (VMF) device,

which enables you to print multiple images on a sheet using
arbitrary positioning. That is, you can position images anywhere
you want on the sheet. The following figure shows the components
of a variable format sheet.
,0$*(6

&$19$6




),//5(*,21


)LJXUH  &RPSRQHQWVRID6KHHW8VLQJ90)

You can also specify custom sheet and image settings, such as
orientation, fill colors, scaling, and color enhancements, among
others.
Any custom settings you specify using VMF logical device 10
override settings specified by other means (for example, a Job
Settings file or in the User Default Setting menu at the control
panel).

VJNU içÖáÅ~ä=aÉîáÅÉë=~åÇ=pÜÉÉí=cçêã~ííáåÖ
To print a sheet using arbitrary positioning and image values, you:

1. Send a Canvas command file to create a “canvas” on which to

place the images.
2. Optionally, send Fill command files to specify fill regions on the
sheet whose colors are different than the background color (for
example, to create frames around an image).
3. For each image on the sheet, send a Place command to specify
how to place the image on the sheet and process the image, then
send the image file.
4. Print the sheet.
The VMF command files are ASCII text files that contain control
commands. These command files are explained in the next topic.

`êÉ~íáåÖ=sjc=`çãã~åÇ=cáäÉë
The types of VMF command files that can be sent to the Horizon
imager are described in Table 9-4.

When the Horizon imager receives a text file during an FTP or LPR
print session, it knows to treat it as a command file and execute the
command specified in it.
sjc=`çãã~åÇ=cáäÉ=`çåîÉåíáçåë

When creating VMF command files, use the following guidelines:

‡ You can use any name you want for the command file, as long
as it is an ASCII text file. Of course, you will probably want to
use names that indicate the purpose of the file. For example, if
you create a Canvas command file specifying an A-size printable
area with a black background, you might name the file
canvas_A_black.txt.
‡ Each command file must have only one command.
‡ The first line of the file must contain the command name.
‡ The contents of the command files are case-insensitive—you can
use upper or lower case letters.

VJOM içÖáÅ~ä=aÉîáÅÉë=~åÇ=pÜÉÉí=cçêã~ííáåÖ
‡ You can use the following delimiters between parameter entries
in the file: space characters, tabs, or newline characters (CR or
LF).
`~åî~ë=`çãã~åÇ=cáäÉ=`çåíÉåíë

The format of a Canvas command file is:

FDQYDVZLGWKKHLJKW
>FRORUUUJJEE@
>VFDOHIILOWHU@
>DVSHFW[\@
>ODQGVFDSH_SRUWUDLW@
If you do not include an entry for a particular parameter, the default
value for that parameter will be used, as set in the custom Job
Settings file (if used) or the User Default Settings menu at the
control panel.
Table 9-5 describes the parameters that can be specified in the
Canvas command file.

After you create the command files, you can start the FTP session
and print the sheet.
To print using VMF, use the following general steps:

1. Use the logical device 10 as the FTP password. This tells the
Horizon imager that the FTP session should print sheets using
VMF. You can also specify a Job Settings file by appending the
logical device number with a period (.) and the Job Settings
name. For example:
0<6(77,1*6

3. Send a Canvas command file to set up the sheet for printing.

4. Optionally, send Fill commands to create colored blocks on the
sheet (for example, to create a frame around an image’s clip
region).
5. For each image, send its corresponding Place command, then
send the image file.
6. When you are ready to print the sheet, send the Print command.

VJPO içÖáÅ~ä=aÉîáÅÉë=~åÇ=pÜÉÉí=cçêã~ííáåÖ
Note that you must send a Canvas command for each sheet to be

printed.
For detailed information on how to use FTP to send files to the
imager, refer to Chapter 10.

To use VMF with LPR, you need to create an LPR printer for each
VMF/Job Settings file pair that you anticipate using.
Once an appropriate LPR printer exists, configured to specify the
VMF logical device (10) and the desired Job Settings file, you can
send images to it for printing using the following general steps:

1. Print a Canvas command file to set up the sheet for printing. For
example:

2. Optionally, print Fill command files to create colored blocks on
the sheet (for example, to create a frame around an image’s clip

Logical device 135 is the 35mm SlideMaker device, which allows

you to print multiple images in a format identical to 35mm slide
film. The 35mm SlideMaker fits 24 slides, or cells, on a sheet. The
slides are arranged as six filmstrips of four slides each. The slides
can then be cut out of the film, mounted in standard 35mm slide
mounts, and projected using a standard 35mm slide projector.

eçï=fã~ÖÉë=^êÉ=mä~ÅÉÇ=çå=íÜÉ=pÜÉÉí
Images sent for printing using the SlideMaker format are scaled and
rotated, if necessary, to produce the largest possible image in each
cell.
Images are tracked by your login name/host name combination to
keep all images received from a user together on the same sheet.
This allows multiple users to print 35 mm sheets at the same time.
The sheet and image parameters are determined using the Horizon
imager’s parameter source hierarchy, just as with FMF and VMF.
(The parameter source hierarchy is described in “Parameter
Selection Process” on page 6-28.) The images are scaled using the
Lanczos method, which is used because it give the best results for
downscaled images. The sheet is printed automatically when all
cells on the sheet have been filled, or if you send a Print command
file.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol that enables you to login
to the Horizon imager from your workstation and send image files
for printing. You can also send text files containing custom
commands and parameters used to set up your sheets and process
images.
FTP uses the TCP/IP networking protocol and is available for most
computer platforms, including UNIX, Linux, MS-DOS/Windows,
and Macintosh.
The procedures in this chapter explain how to FTP image files from
a command window on your workstation. If you are using a
GUI-based FTP application, you will likely click buttons and drag
files from one window to another instead of entering commands.
While the user interface may vary between implementations of FTP,
the information required to connect to the imager and send files is
the same.

To print single-image or Fixed Multiformatting (FMF) sheets, you

start an FTP session with the imager, login to the FTP session using
a logical device as the password to indicate what format to use, then
send one or more images to be printed on the sheet.

8 1. From your computer workstation, open a command window.

FTP connects with the imager and you are prompted to log in.
3. At the login prompt, enter your user name.
If you are not using User Settings, login as root to ensure that print
jobs will use only the settings defined in the Default User
Settings menu at the control panel (and not those of another
user).

number that represents the sheet format you want to use:
‡ To print a single image, enter 1 (unscaled) or 2 (scaled).
‡ To print multiple images on a sheet using FMF, enter the
number from 11 to 99 that corresponds to the sheet format
you want to use. For more information about FMF, refer to
Chapter 9.
‡ To specify a Job Settings file, append a period (.) and the Job
Settings file name after the logical device number. For
example:

 7. Use the FTP put command to send one or more images to the
imager; for example:
IWS!SXWLPDJHWLI
IWS!SXWLPDJHWLI
You can also specify multiple files in one FTP mput command.
For example:
IWS!PSXWLPDJHWLILPDJHWLI
Multiple files are placed sequentially in the cells on the sheet,
moving from left to right, top to bottom.
Once a sheet is full, it is automatically printed. To force an
unfilled sheet to print, send a Print command.
8. After a sheet is filled (and automatically printed) or forced to be
printed with a Print command, send a Cancel command file to
clear out any data from the previous sheet.
9. To send another print job using the same sheet format, use the
put command to send the image(s) to the imager.
10. When you are finished sending images to be printed and want
to close the FTP session, enter TXLW.
There are some other common operations that you may want to
perform during an FTP session. These are described in the
following table.

LPR (named for line printer) is a printing tool that enables you to
send files to the Horizon imager.
LPR utilizes the TCP/IP networking protocol and is most commonly
used in UNIX and Linux, and to a lesser extent in MS-DOS/Windows
and other platforms. Most LPR implementations have easy-to-use
print commands for sending files to the imager. However, LPR
typically requires configuration by a system administrator.
The LPR printing function is configured in different ways,
depending on the operating system used. This chapter includes
separate topics to explain how to configure and use LPR from some
of these platforms.

 imoI=içÖáÅ~ä=aÉîáÅÉëI=~åÇ=gçÄ=pÉííáåÖë

When sending images to the Horizon imager using FTP or LPR, the
imager uses numbers—referred to as logical devices—to determine
what sheet format to use. Typically, the number represents the
layout of the images on a sheet. For example, a 6-up sheet using a
2-column by 3-row image matrix would be designated by the logical
device 23. There are also other logical devices reserved for special
uses, such as printing scaled or unscaled to 1-up sheets.
For a complete explanation of Horizon logical devices, refer to
“Understanding Logical Devices” on page 9-2.
Optionally, you can specify a Job Settings file as part of the logical
device. The Job Settings file contains one or more job, sheet, and
image parameters to use for the print job. For more information on
Job Settings files, refer to Chapter 8.

As mentioned in the previous topic, the Horizon imager uses logical
devices to determine the sheet format. Optionally, Job Settings files
can be used to specify print job parameters. When using LPR, you
need to configure a unique LPR printer for each logical device/Job
Settings file combination that you anticipate using.
Some UNIX and Linux systems use the /etc/printcap method for
defining LPR printers. Each LPR printer is defined in the LPR printer
database file /etc/printcap. Therefore, for these systems, you need
to create an entry in the /etc/printcap file for each Horizon logical
device/Job Settings file combination.

Once the Horizon logical devices/Job Settings printers have been

added to the LPR printer database, the last step is to create the
spooling directories. The spooling directories are specified by the
sd= entries in the /etc/printcap file. You can create the directories
in the appropriate locations using the mkdir command.
The previous example shows that all Horizon spool directories
should be under the /usr/spool directory.

Once you have found an area to put the spool directories, issue the
following UNIX/Linux commands:
PNGLUGLUGLU

FKRZQURRWGLUGLU

Where GLU, GLU, and so on are the names of the spool directories
referenced in the /etc/printcap file.

Some UNIX-based systems—such as Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, and SGI
IRIX—use administrative utilities instead of /etc/printcap for
creating LPR interfaces to remote network output devices. Consult
with your system administrator and system documentation for
details about how to create an LPR interface.
The rules for Horizon logical devices and Job Settings files are the
same if using an administrative utility as with the LPR /etc/printcap
file, even though the method for defining an LPR printer may vary.

The Horizon imager supports printing images from backup media.
This chapter explains how to set up the image files on the backup
media, and how to print them.

`êÉ~íáåÖ=fã~ÖÉ=cáäÉ=mêáåí=pÉíë
You organize image files into print sets according to the sheet
formatting and print job settings to use for the images. All files of
the set must be stored in the same directory, with one directory for
each print set.
The print set includes:

‡ The image files. They can be in any of the supported image file
formats, including PostScript.
‡ A file called device.txt that includes a Horizon logical device
number as its only content. The logical device number specifies
the sheet formatting to use. Supported logical devices are 1
(unscaled single image), 2 (scaled single image), 7 (PostScript),
11 to 99 [Fixed Multiformatting (FMF)], 100 to 104 (captions),
and 135 (35mm SlideMaker).For more information about logical
devices, refer to “Understanding Logical Devices” on page 9-2.

eçêáòçå=fã~ÖÉê=qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=j~åì~ä NOJN=
 If no device.txt file is in the directory, images will print one to
a sheet and be scaled to fill the imageable area of the sheet.
(This corresponds to logical device 2.)
‡ Optionally, a file called settings.txt that contains entries
defining print job parameters. Any print job parameters not
defined for the set (that is, the parameters are not defined in the
settings.txt or no file is present) will use the parameter settings
defined in the Default Media and Default User Settings menu at
the control panel. The format of the settings.txt is the same as
for Job Settings files.
For information about the print job parameters, refer to
Chapter 6. For information about how to make parameter
entries in the settings.txt file, refer to Chapter 8, which covers
Job Settings files.

Note that a device.txt or settings.txt file applies only to the images

in the directory (that is, the print set) in which the images are
located.

_~Åâìé=jÉÇá~=cáäÉ=póëíÉã=píêìÅíìêÉ=oÉèìáêÉãÉåíë
The backup media file system must be set up as follows:

‡ The backup media must be formatted with Windows FAT file

system.
‡ All print set directories must be at the first level below the root
directory.

The imager processes the images on the backup media as follows:

‡ All images in the root directory or in any first-level

subdirectories on the backup media will be printed (interactive
selection of which images on the backup media to print is not
supported).
‡ Images and directories with the following naming characteristics
will be ignored:
 Images or directories starting with a period (.)

3ULQWLQJIURP%DFNXS0HGLD
 Directories with the names logs or configs
 Known nonimage files such as *.exe, *.com, and *.bat files
 Horizon log and software installation files
The imager assumes that all other files, other than device.txt
and settings.txt, are image files and attempts to process them.
Only files in supported image formats will actually be processed
and queued for printing.
‡ Directories and image files are processed in alphanumeric order.
Therefore, the image placement order on the sheet can be
controlled by using prefixes to the image files such as “1, 2, 3,
...” or “a, b, c, ...”.
‡ As many sheets as necessary will be printed to print all images
in the root and first-level directories. Partial FMF sheets will be
printed with the remaining image cells blank when the last
image in a print set has been read and added to a sheet. (For
more information about FMF, refer to Chapter 9.)
‡ The number of copies specified at the control panel applies to
each sheet being printed. Multiple copies of the same sheet are
printed together (that is, sheets are not collated).

For FTP and LPR printing, the Horizon imager allows you to place
up to four captions around a single sheet (for example, the site
name or date, which would have to be changed every day). There
are five Horizon caption logical devices, one each for specifying the
four caption positions—top (101), bottom (102), left (103), and right
(104) sheet edges—and one (100) for deleting the currently stored
caption files. Captions can be in any of the image formats supported
by the Horizon imager except PostScript.
To install and use a caption, you:

,QVWDOOLQJDQG0DLQWDLQLQJ
1. Send the caption image file to the imager. Using FTP or LPR,
you send the caption image file to the Horizon caption logical

&DSWLRQV
devices—101 through 104—that corresponds to the desired
sheet edge location.
2. Turn captions on for print jobs. You can turn captions on by
setting the sheet parameter Caption to ON for the Default User
Settings at the control panel, in a custom Job Settings file, or in
a User Settings file.

When captions are stored on the imager and turned on, they are
added to images at the appropriate locations. Captions are ignored
if you turn them off. You can delete all stored captions by sending
any file to logical device 100.

Before an image is converted and printed, the imager’s hard disk is
searched for caption images. If any are found and the Captions
function is turned on (refer to “Turning Captions On and Off” on
page 13-8), they are added to the sheet at the appropriate location.
Then, the remaining area is considered the imageable area in which
the image can be placed. This ensures that the caption does not
overlap the image.
The orientation is assumed to be from the perspective of the
physical page and not the image being printed. In other words, the
top of a physical page is always the physical top edge of the
paper/white film in portrait orientation, and not the top of the
image being printed.
Color captions are automatically converted to grayscale if printing
to DirectVista grayscale media.

råëÅ~äÉÇ=páåÖäÉJfã~ÖÉ=pÜÉÉíë
If an image is sent to logical device 1 (unscaled single-image
sheets), each caption (if any) is added to the image prior to
processing. The resulting combined image is handled as if it were
received as a single image from the host. This is important to
consider because:

‡ The size of the printed image includes the original image and
any captions, possibly affecting whether the combined image
will fit in its imageable area or be cropped.
‡ The same image settings (gamma, contrast, and so on) being
applied to the original image will also be applied to the
captions.

If an image is sent to logical device 2 (scaled single-image sheet),
the same image settings (gamma, contrast, and so on) being applied
to the image will also be applied to the captions.

`çåëáÇÉê~íáçåë=tÜÉå=rëáåÖ=`~éíáçåë
Captions can be in any of the image formats supported by the
Horizon imager except PostScript.
An image used as a caption should be appropriately sized and
oriented to have the least amount of impact on space the original
image. Figure 13-1 shows appropriate placement of captions
around an image.

 The imager does not rotate captions. So, if you are using a
landscape-oriented caption that is to be placed on the side of an
image, you have to rotate the caption in a graphics application
before sending it to the imager. Also, if a large caption is being
placed at the top or bottom of a sheet, a portion of an unscaled
image may be pushed out of the imageable area to accommodate
the caption. For examples of these, refer to Figure 13-2.

You store captions in the imager by sending an image file of the

caption using FTP or LPR. You use logical devices reserved for

To store captions in the imager using FTP, you would run an FTP
session as described in Chapter 10, with the following exceptions:
‡ Use the logical device corresponding to the position of the
caption as the FTP login password (you can use any name for
the FTP login user name). This tells the Horizon imager that the
FTP session will be sending a caption image, and where to place
that image relative to an image.
‡ Use the FTP put command to send the caption image file.

To replace a caption stored on the imager, simply send another

caption image file, using the appropriate logical device as the FTP
login password.

To store captions in the imager using LPR, you need to set up the
five caption-related Horizon logical devices (refer to Table 13-1 on
page 13-5) as LPR printers. For more information about how to do
this, refer to Chapter 11.
Then, to store the caption image file on the imager, you use the lpr
command to print the caption’s image file to the LPR printer that
includes the appropriate caption logical device in its printer
definition.
To replace a caption stored on the imager, simply use the lpr
command to print another caption image file to the appropriate
“caption” LPR printer.

and LPR, except you would:
‡ Use the caption-related logical device 100.
‡ Send any file to the imager (for example, a text file that has only
a space character in it). The contents of the file are ignored by
the imager. The receipt of the file alone indicates to the imager
to delete all stored caption files.

Horizon Bracketing enables you to print multiple versions of the
same image on a test sheet using different image parameter values
for each version. You can then view these images, determine which
one looks best, and use the corresponding image parameter values
when printing images.
The Horizon imager allows you to print a gamma/contrast
bracketing sheet and—for ChromaVista color paper/white film—a
gamma/saturation bracketing sheet. The bracketed images are
printed using different gamma, contrast, and saturation values. The
imager also allows you to print a Medical Color Matching (MCM)
bracketing sheet, for matching printed images to a monitor.
This chapter explains how to print a bracketing sheet using FTP and
LPR. For instructions on how to print a bracketing sheet using
DICOM or PostScript, and how to analyze the bracketing sheet to
determine the parameter values that produce the desired image
appearance, refer to the Horizon Imager User’s Manual.

To print bracketing sheets using FTP, you would conduct the FTP
session as described in Chapter 10, with the following exceptions:

‡ Use the appropriate logical device number (9 for

gamma/contrast/saturation bracketing sheets, 8 for an MCM
bracketing sheet), and, optionally, a Job Settings file name as the
FTP password. This tells the Horizon imager that the FTP
session will be sending a bracketing image. (You can use any
name as the FTP user login name, unless you want to use a User
Settings file with the bracketing sheet.)
‡ Use the FTP put command to send the image to be used on the
bracketing sheet.

After executing the put command, the imager prints a bracketing

sheet. If the printing parameters specify ChromaVista color as the
media type and you specified logical device 9, a gamma/saturation
bracketing sheet is also printed.

To print bracketing sheets using LPR, you need to create an LPR

printer whose definition includes logical device 9 (for
gamma/contrast/saturation bracketing sheets) or logical device 8
(for MCM bracketing sheets). For more information about how to do
this, refer to Chapter 11.
Then, to send the image to be used on the bracketing sheet, use the
lpr command to print the image file to that printer.
After executing the lpr command, the image prints the bracketing
sheet. If the printing parameters specify ChromaVista color as the
media type and the printer’s definition specified logical device 9, a

The Horizon Smart Card is the main storage device for the
following:

‡ Horizon Software License Code. This is the serial number for

the Horizon software. All keyed features are keyed off of the
License Code.
‡ Feature Keys. Keys for each purchased imager feature.
‡ Imager Configuration. This includes network settings, imager
preference settings, Default Media settings, Default User
Settings, Job Settings files, and logging settings. It does not
include caption files or User Settings files.

When swapping imagers for service reasons, the swap imager does
not come with a Smart Card. You have to move the imager’s Smart
Card, with all its unique information—that is, its license code,
configuration data, and so on—to the swap Horizon imager.

8 1. Power off both imagers.

The Horizon imager maintains log files and status information to
assist you and Codonics in determining the state of the imager and
for troubleshooting problems. This chapter explains how to view
some of the log and status information.
For standard troubleshooting information, refer to the Horizon
Imager User’s Manual.

You can use any Telnet or SSH application on your workstation to

open a Telnet session or an SSH session with the Horizon imager.
Once you have successfully started a Telnet or SSH session,
specifying imager’s IP address, the Horizon imager’s login prompt
will be displayed. Use the appropriate Horizon imager login, as
explained in the following topics.

You can access the imager’s current status information in two ways:
‡ Logging in to the remote session as status. After logging in, the
status information is displayed. The default settings that are
displayed are the Default User Settings set at the control panel.
To exit the status listing and log out of the session, press the
Enter key at your workstation.
‡ Logging in to the remote session as service. After logging in,
enter the stat command to display the status information. To
display a custom User Settings file information, include the user
login name as an argument to the stat command. For example:

There are several calibrations that are performed to optimize the
image quality on printed sheets given variations in media and
operating conditions:

‡ Film calibration is performed automatically by the imager when

a DirectVista grayscale film cassette is inserted into the imager
for the first time. You can also perform this calibration manually.
‡ Internal densitometer calibration allows you to recalibrate the
imager’s internal densitometer, which is used to read optical
densities when a DirectVista grayscale film calibration is
performed.
‡ Thermal print head calibration creates a characterization of the
thermal print head to compensate for non-uniformities in the
imaging properties of the print head.
‡ Print length calibration corrects for images running off or
printing short of the bottom of a sheet.

All of calibration procedures are covered in this chapter except the

film calibration procedure, which is covered in the Horizon Imager
User’s Manual. At the end of this chapter there is also a topic about
the automatic compensations made by the imager.

The Horizon imager includes an internal densitometer that is used

to read optical densities when a DirectVista grayscale film
calibration is performed. The internal densitometer is
factory-calibrated to match industry standards. However, you can
recalibrate it to match an external reference, such as a bench-top
medical densitometer, by performing a simple, three-step
procedure.

1. Print a calibration test print.

2. Read and record the density values of the blocks on the print,
using the external reference.
3. Enter the readings into the imager at the imager control panel.

The imager stores separate calibration data for blue and clear
DirectVista grayscale film. If you use both types of film, you should
calibrate the densitometer twice—once for each film type. If you use
only one film type, then you need to calibrate only once, using that
type.

As shown in the sample test print in Figure 19-1 on page 19-4, there
are two redundant sets of eight density blocks. After you enter the
density readings, the imager averages the two readings from
corresponding pairs of blocks to determine the new calibration
values.

The Horizon imager compensates for non-uniformities in the

imaging properties of the thermal print head. The imager has
built-in software and hardware to characterize the thermal print
head to perform this compensation.
At the factory, high- and low-frequency thermal print head
calibrations are performed, and the results are saved internally in
the imager.
You can also perform the high-frequency calibration from the
control panel. The thermal print head calibration, which can take
up to 45 minutes, automatically pauses printing and takes the
imager offline.
You should perform the thermal print head calibration every 5000
sheets or 12 months, whichever comes first.You also might want to
perform the thermal print head calibration if prints have vertical
streaks or bands, and cleaning the thermal print head does not fix
the problem.

the system will rise slightly during the printing process.

pÉåëáíçãÉíêó=`çãéÉåë~íáçå
The imager compensates for the sensitometry of the media, ribbon,
and characteristics of the print engine. The imager automatically
identifies (via the supply cassette and ribbon barcodes) the media
version to allow for different emulsion formulations and applies the
appropriate sensitometry table.
If the LUT parameter is set to Visual (which is the normal setting),
the imager will try to produce prints that, with nominal gamma and
contrast settings, will produce a visually uniform output. That is, a
ramp of steps in the original image that has linearly-spaced digital
values will produce densities that visually appear to be uniformly
spaced by a “standard observer.”

The table on the following pages lists the valid names for the job,
sheet, and image parameters—and their possible setting values—
that you use to specify the parameters in the Job Settings text files.
For a complete explanation of the parameters, refer to Chapter 6.
Note that parameters and values are not case sensitive (for example,
MEDIASIZE is equivalent to mediasize). Values need only be
specified with as many characters as required to ensure uniqueness,
although the minimum is 3 characters (for example, BIL is
equivalent to BILINEAR for the Scale parameter). The exception is
that the Mediasize values must be spelled out completely.
