SOPfflSnCATED
Konica Minolta technology pursues the ultimate performance in dry medical laser imagers. With the DRYPRO 832,
superior image quality, ultra-high speed printing and increased cost effectiveness are all included in this very compact laser imager.
I World's fastest
first printing time^^
Time to first print, a major speed and pro­
ductivity parameter, has been greatiy im­
proved to a short 50 seconds, dramatical­
ly enhancing productivity and workflow.

Five film sizes and two trays^^
Five film sizes are available (14X17 in.,
14X14 in., 11X14 in., 10X12 in., and 8X
10 in.,) And by installing an additional film
supply tray, two film sizes can be used at
the same time, for example, 14 XI7 in.
and 11X14 in., or 14X17 in. and 8x10 in..

User-friendly
The DRYPRO 832 is very user friendly.
It is easy to use, warms up quickly, and
is very quiet.
A ciearly visible status light changes
color to indicate "Ready", "Printing",
and "Film Empty" conditions.

Stable operation with no HDD
Hard drives store system software and
data and, with that, there is always a risk
that the disc will crash, bringing operation
to a standstiii. With the DRYPRO 832,
we have eliminated the hard drive and
introduced a design where the essential
system software is run from compact
fiash memory and image data is man­
aged by an external computer (CS-2/3 or
Printlink5-IN), thereby contributing to
stable operation.

Networking by Printiink
With its flexible networking capability, the
Printiink print management system pro­
vides the ideal output solution in a variety
of environments, enabling output from
multiple Regius consoles (CS-2/3) and
printing from DICOM modalities. By using
Printiink IV/ID (sold separately), you can
also connect to non-DICOM modalities.

design
The excellent low-noise design assures a
pleasant environment. The actuai running
noise has been tuned to a low tone with a
reduced high-temperature range, so that
it gives the impression of being quieter
than it actualiy is. While the overall noise

for ciinics where standby operation
accounts for most of the usage time.
Storing and Handling Dry Film
Dry image recording fiim SD-Q/SD-QC does not
require a WET process. When storing and han-
diing film, be sure to observe the following.
1. Storing and handling unused film
After confirming that fiim is packaged, store
unused fiim, iike ordinary fiim, in a cool, dark
piace (recommended temperature:10-23°C (SO­
TS °F)) where it wiii not be affected by radiation,
if film Is stored in a place where temperature is
more than 30°C (86°F) for a iong period of time,
the quaiity of the fiim may change. When storing
fiim in a fiim storage, it shouid be stored in a
piace where temperature is not likeiy to rise.
2. Storing and handling processed film
(image)
(1) As heat-processed-type fiim is susceptible to
high temperature or strong sunlight even after it's
processed, it should be stored in a cool, dark
place. When storing film for a long period of time,
be sure to place it in a film bag and store it in a
place where temperature is 25°C (77°F) or below.
The rise in density or discoloration may occur
more frequently as the temperature rises.
(2) If the film Is stored at a temperature of 40°C
(104°F) or higher, this may cause density
changes or discoloration even over a short
period of storage. Avoid leaving the film in a car
in daytime, or using it with a hot lamp etc.
(3) As the film is susceptible to strong sunlight as
well as temperature, avoid exposing it to direct
sunlight, or leaving it on a viewing screen for a
long time.
Dry film should not be cleaned with alcohol or
cleaning agents that may cause density
blotching and other defects. The film is resistant
to water, so it may be cleaned with a soft cloth
dampened with water.

High-quality images
A semiconductor laser and precision
optics are merged to produce 78.6//m
pixel size resulting in sharp, high-defini-
tion films.
The DRYPRO 832 accepts 8-bit or 12-
bit data and outputs with 14-bit density
resolution to accurately reproduce the
highest resolution images such as those
from Regius CR.
I
Stable finished quality
The DRYPRO 832's density control
function maintains the output density by
automatically measuring a small density
patch on every film.
The system also automatically calibrates
itself whenever a new box of film is
loaded.
