This procedure is required after replacing the processor assembly, processor drum, or
the DRE board, or if you expect that drum temperatures are causing image quality
problems.
Important:
A temperature meter and probe with a bar type element must be used for this procedure.
Probes with circular type elements will not provide correct readings.
The temperature meter and probe must be calibrated together, at least once per year. If the
probe breaks, a new probe and the existing meter must be calibrated again.
The temperature meter must be at room temperature during this procedure. If the meter has
been in a hot or cold vehicle, allow it to adjust to room temperature before using.

• Every 15,000 cycles, the display screen displays a message prompting the user to schedule
preventive maintenance. The procedures should be performed as soon as possible after the
message appears.
• A charcoal filter change is required every 15,000 prints.
Note:
In 2018, the default settings for both PM and filter change have been revised to 15,000 prints.
If the PM and filter count settings have been manually changed for a specific customer need,
you must re-enter the customized settings after you have updated the software; otherwise,
both settings will be at 15,000.
Important:
Check the modification status of the imager at each PM call. If any Type 1 modifications
(required or selective) are outstanding, install them during the call. It is important to fit
modifications promptly at scheduled maintenance times to improve and maintain imager
performance to corporate and customer expectations.

Important:
This air flow meter should be used to check how effectively a Preventive Maintenance was
performed. Do the tool readings prior to and then after performing a PM—in this way, you can
confirm that the PM was done correctly by confirming the air flow readings.
Use of the air flow meter is NOT intended to determine if a PM needs to be done. PMs must be
scheduled and performed per the required print counts or date being reached as established by
the site, based on factors such as environmental operating conditions. The PM must be
performed per all the procedures stated in the Service Manual.
Specifications
Set the air flow meter to m/s.
1.5 meters per second (minimum) 1.8 meters per second (minimum)
Tools
Tube – PVC, 1.25 in. diameter thin wall, 5 in. long

LINUX
Note:
You may need to click Run again if the fan stops running.
7. Record the reading.
» If the reading is 1.5 or above, the air flow is acceptable.
» If the reading is below 1.5, continue with the next step.
8. Remove the tube and flow meter.
Note:
Block the hole on the meter with a thumb or tape to get more accurate readings.
» If the reading is 1.8 or above, the filter and fan are acceptable, but the left
panel is clogged or the gaskets are not sealing the left panel.
» If the reading is below 1.8, the filter is not seated properly, or the filter needs to
be replaced, or the fan is not operating. Resolve the fan or filter issue, then
return to step 1 to recheck the left panel.
Postrequisites:
Return to the PM procedure and continue.
Complete the PM
1. Wait while the processor warms to Ready.
2. Check the drum temperature.
3. If necessary, adjust the drum temperature.
4. Make a flat-field gray test print.
5. Compare the test print with the test print made before the PM.

Important:
As site conditions / the imager runtime experience warrants, use best judgment for to
change the default setting of the PM Time Expiration Interval and/or the PM/Filter Print
Count to a setting other than the recommendations if needed. If you need to reduce time
between PMs or filter change, you still can do this. Just remember that changing filters
without proper air flow may not reduce the odor.
Factors to consider are:
• Environment/location where the imager is installed
• Temperature and humidity
• How quickly the air filters and the inside of the imager gets dirty
• How often/quickly the processor drum surface gets dirty
• Does the imager occasionally have 26-543 errors/film jams not due to a failed part?
• Are site personnel sensitive to processing odors? (This may warrant a reduced filter
replacement interval.)
• Are there PM call commitments in the site warranty or service agreements? (If yes, you
may need to apply a specific PM time interval to accommodate site agreements.)
• Any other customer and/or business expectations?
4. Log off from the service tool and close the window.

* This table describes general behavior—there are exceptions to these generalizations, predominantly in the MIM Core
Conditions Section. See the individual errors for specific information about Web Portal and Display Screen notification and
alarms.
† The display screen is limited to very simple communication scheme (codes and lights), and so it makes use of the auxiliary
codes; the Web Portal's more sophisticated user interface does not require auxiliary codes in order to detect and
communicate the same conditions.

Note:
Rationale for not reporting to user: This is a DICOM SCU configuration
problem, not an operational error. The user cannot correct this from the
imager.
Additional DICOM information: There is a specific result/reason code
available for this circumstance: 1-Rejected permanent/7-Called AE title
not recognized.
Description An association request was rejected for one or more of the following
reasons:
• The Service Class User (SCU) did not specify an implementation UID.
• The SCU did not specify an application context name.
• The protocol version is a two-byte field; bit zero (0) must be one (1).
• The SCU did not specify any presentation context items to be
negotiated.
• None of the proposed presentation context items were successfully
negotiated. This may happen, for example, when a DICOM Store SCU
tries to communicate with a DICOM Print SCP.
System Impact The SCU will not be able to open an association and, therefore, will not
be able to deliver a print job.
Show at DS False
Description The partition of the disk where studies are stored is full.
User Action Load the requested film type for jobs waiting to be printed.
If the error persists, call for service.

FE Actions
Perform the actions below in sequence. If an action provides a resolution, do not
continue with the other actions.
1. Review the Error History File (EHF). The EHF logs the errors and warnings that have
occurred on the imager and when.
2. Check for films lying in the film path and remove any that you find.
3. Based on the area of the jammed film, determine which components to check:
Film left the Check the film • rollers and • feed roller sensor
cartridge but did transport gears • belts
not reach the components
• transport • SOP sensor
SOP sensor
motor
4. See Known Issues that Cause Film Pickup Issues (below) for the relevant
components.
5. Check for any e-rings that may have come off the roller assemblies, causing
misalignment of rollers.
6. Reseat the pickup assembly connectors.
7. Check the exposure transport sensor and replace if needed.
8. Replace the pickup assembly.
See the Adjustments and Replacements for replacement procedures as needed.
Known Issues that Cause Film Pickup Failures
Worm gear: Some pickup assembly worm gears are too short, allowing too much play in the
pickup height. The resulting gap between the worm gear and E-ring lets the gear slide along
the motor shaft and affect the pickup height accuracy.
Worm gear screws: Some of the pickup assemblies have an issue where the two screws for
the blue worm gear and the one screw for the brown worm gear have not been tightened
properly. If the screws are not tightened, the worm gears will not rotate properly, which can
cause 2x-116 and/or film to be stuck to the cartridge.
Solution: Tighten the one accessible screw on the blue worm gear and the
one screw for the brown worm gear.
Note:
The second screw on the blue worm gear is not easily accessible
but it should not be necessary to tighten it.
Suction cups: Typically, suction cups will not cause 2X-116 errors. But if a suction cup is not
made correctly, it may be part of what is causing the film not to be picked up properly.
How to check: Visually examine the suction cups with a magnifying glass. Look
at the rim of the suction cups for notches or extruding material.
Solution: Replace the faulty suction cup (SP5F2826). See Adjustments and
Replacements.
Finger tubing (wave generator): The finger tubing is the hose material located between the
suction cups. Its purpose is to separate sheets of film by creating a wave effect on the film. If
the finger tubing is too stiff, it will not allow the suction cups to compress and make a good
seal on the film. This will especially occur if the suction cup also has a flaw.
How to check: Try to compress the finger tubing. Removal of the two finger
tubing units can be used as a troubleshooting technique, but the
finger tubing needs to be installed on film pickups. Also, if
removing the finger tubing allows the film to be picked up, the
suction cups could still be part of the problem.
Tubing: Any kinks or binds in the vacuum hoses will cause less vacuum or restrict the
movement of the film pickup assembly.
How to check: With the film pickup out of the machine, hold a piece of film
under the suction cups and select the appropriate film tray to
apply vacuum to the film pickup. If no or little vacuum, look for
any binding of the vacuum tubing.
Vacuum pump: Debris in the diaphragm of the vacuum pump will cause the vacuum to leak
out and not provide a good suction to the film.
How to check: With the film pickup out of the machine, hold a piece of film
under the suction cups and select the appropriate film tray to
apply vacuum to the film pickup. If no or little vacuum,
disassemble the vacuum pump and look for any debris on the
diaphragm – remove it and recheck.
Vacuum pump: Debris in the diaphragm of the vacuum pump will cause the vacuum to leak
out and not provide a good suction to the film.
Note:
Position the pump with the 4 screws up to prevent loss of the
small plastic valves.
3. Carefully separate the pieces. Inspect the area for small
pieces of debris. Remove any debris.
4. Lift off the 2 valves. Inspect this area for small pieces of
debris. Remove any debris.
Film cartridge handling: Issues only occur after a cartridge is opened (when the vacuum is
removed). Once the vacuum is removed, the lid’s ability to keep the film from moving
around in the cartridge and sliding under the lid into the adhesive is greatly reduced. Also,
improper handling and storing of the film cartridge can cause the sheets of film to move
within the cartridge.
How to check: In the event of an EC116 where a film is found in the adhesive,
you can determine if film handling is the cause by the timing of
the error. The error will occur with the first or second sheet of a
new cartridge, or in the first few sheets of a previously used
cartridge.
Plastic roller in rollback assembly: Imagers with a plastic roller (implemented in 2016-10) in the rollback
assembly can experience a 2x-116 error due to the failure of the rollback motor to initially open the
cartridge. The belt going to the plastic roller can jump when trying to peel back the cartridge’s foil lid.
How to check: Check if the roller is plastic. If the roller is aluminum, then this is not the
cause of the 2x-116 error. Serial number effectivity for imagers with the
plastic roller:
• 5700: 57137999, 57041464,57331448,57830050
• 5950: 59137734,59540358,59830098,59331179
Also – see step 8 below. Check for a mark on the frame. If you see the
mark, the tension has already been adjusted.
Plastic roller in rollback assembly: Imagers with a plastic roller (implemented in 2016-10) in the rollback
assembly can experience a 2x-116 error due to the failure of the rollback motor to initially open the
cartridge. The belt going to the plastic roller can jump when trying to peel back the cartridge’s foil lid.
Solution: Adjust the belt tensioner to provide more tension on the plastic roller. The
belt tension is set in the factory using test fixture. The fixture aligns the
tensioner-securing screw position in the frame slot by setting the bottom
of the screw to a predetermined position.
1. With the right cover removed, use a short ruler marked in millimeters
to measure from the bottom of the slot in the frame to the bottom of
the screw (between the 2 lines):

On the Failure log, the imager never reached the 130 °C and started lowering the
temperature. Duty remains at 100. Suspect the Thermal Switch or the Lamp Heater
element opened.
If the imager detects a 28-551, 554, or 509, check the 4 resistors (R119, R120, R136, and
R137) for damage (see R136 and R137 in the picture). If damaged, replace the MCS
board.
If the MCS board revision level is below P (5700/TX40) or H (5950/TX55), check the
appropriate resistor(s) for 1K ohms +/- 0.1% (see resistor(s) location below).
Note:
Always unplug the connector(s) for the drum when reading resistances on the MCS board or
the drum. This will prevent reading resistance from other circuits.
Lamp heater drums have an automatic resetting thermal switch. If the thermal switch
opens, it resets itself once the drum has cooled. Always allow the lamp heater drum to
cool to room temperature before measuring the lamp heater/thermal switch circuit
resistance.
If you read an open circuit on the heater circuit wires after the drum has cooled,
replace the drum.
Description This error can occur for many electromechanical reasons: The Resistance

How to Filter Logs
Event Type Provides the same information in the Level column—the level
provided for the event. The levels from highest to lowest are: Trace
(Level 6), Debug (5), Diag (4), Info (3), Warning (2), Error (1), and
Fatal Error (0).
Time Provides the time of the event, down to 1/100th of a second. The
time is used to locate events in the log.
Log Filtering
Filtering narrows the amount of data that displays in a log.
Filtering decreases the amount of log data according to criteria that you select. An
example of when you might need to filter a log would be if modalities are unable to
select the imager because the current number of SCP associations has reached the limit
(12). Use filtering to search for key words and numbers in the log to locate the
information to solve the problem.
5. In the Text Contains box, type the words and numbers that you want to search on.
In this example, scp assoc was entered so that it appears in the events in the log
you want to view.
6. Click OK to search the log for the specified text.
The search retrieves only log items that include the words “scp assoc.” If the log
includes too many records, decrease the data by applying additional filtering.
7. Click Display Filter.
The log is filtered to show SCP associations that went down during the specified time
period.
3. Click Display to show the log data from the selected range.
4. Filter any of the columns. For example, to filter for words or numbers that are part
of the event message:
