What is Horizon? Horizon is a family of medical imagers.
Horizon couples the color capability of the Codonics NP-1660 with the 14”x17” film capability of a traditional 14”x17” film imager. Horizon also prints 8”x10” film (like the NP-1660). Horizon also prints on low cost black and white paper in both A/A4 and 14”x17” sizes. Horizon is the world’s first and only 14”x17” multi-media dry imager with auto switching capability. Horizon is the world’s first and only color imager supporting DICOM and PostScript printing. Horizon is Codonics’ first imager that is capable of printing greater than A and A4 size images.

4 Different Scenarios: Pegasys 5.0 with Horizon Pegasys 5.0 with EP-1000 JETStream with Horizon JETStream with EP-1000 Why? Pegasys and JETStream have different operating systems and applications software Horizon and EP-1000 have different architectures and compatibilities
16
Pegasys 5.0 to Horizon Recommended Configuration
Small Format Printing (on all Horizons) Codonics Printer Driver version 7 installed on host system EP Emulation on printer – license required Large Format Printing DICOM 4.24 or 4.25 on Host DICOM on printer – license required DICOM Connectivity: Use custom AE Titles Limited print layouts (1x1 and 2x2) are supported in the Pegasys DICOM interface. Will also support small format printing Quick Start Guide available Note: Codonics Printer Driver does not support 14x17 printing
17
Pegasys 5.0 to EP-1000 Recommended Configuration
Codonics Printer Driver version 7 must be installed on host system Quick Start Guide available Most significant / difficult issue is setting IP address of parallel to network interface
18
Connecting to the EP-1000 EP-1000 printer has 2 interfaces (USB and parallel) Codonics Printer Driver on Pegasys and Codonics Windows Printer Drivers (on JETStream) only support network printing. The solution … an external parallel to network interface. The only way to print to the EP-1000 Requires a separate power supply For JETStream --- Must have it’s IP address set via a DOS utility Note: The JETStream will find the printer if you connect via the USB interface and search for it, but there are no compatible drivers and the application software will not print to it.
19
JETStream 2.5.1 to Horizon Recommended Configuration
DICOM required for all Horizon models Must be purchased separately for Philips Nuclear Medicine Horizon SF configuration Use custom AE Titles Supports all media types and sizes PostScript is required for Add-on programs such as AutoQuant Must be purchased separately for Philips Nuclear Medicine Horizon SF and Ci configurations Must install Codonics printer driver included in Horizon box Follow Codonics directions for installing printer driver … does not install like a standard Windows printer Quick Start Guide available
20
JETStream 2.5.1 to EP-1000 Recommended Configuration
Must install Codonics printer driver Included in EP-1000 box Follow Codonics directions for installing printer driver … does not install like a standard Windows printer Quick Start Guide available Most significant / difficult issue is setting IP address of parallel to network interface
21
What is MCM? MCM stands for Medical Color Matching, Codonics’ exclusive method of matching color printed output to the monitor. This setting is designed only for color images and has no effect on grayscale prints. We have designed several MCM profiles for Philips Nuclear Medicine products.Make sure that you have Color selected in the DICOM or Printer Driver setup.

33
What is the EP emulation key?
FAQ What is the EP emulation key? The EP emulation key allows Horizon to receive images from Pegasys using the Codonics print driver provided on the Pegasys. This key is required for non-DICOM printer installations. Most Pegasys printer installations use this driver and therefore require this key. If you are replacing an NP series or EP series printer with a Horizon SF, you will very likely need this key.
34
FAQ Horizon prints using the printer driver are consistently dark, regardless of the settings in the printer’s KDU (front panel). Create a Custom Job Setting in the Horizon called RAW_JS and change the LUT setting to Visual: 1. Press and hold the left arrow button ( ) while pressing the Menu button. Release both buttons. 2. Press the down arrow ( ) to the Custom Job Settings menu and press Enter. 3. Select New… 4. Select Name 5. Press the left ( ) and right arrows simultaneously to blank out the MYSETTINGS name. 6. Using the up and down arrows, ( ) enter the name RAW_JS and press Enter. 7. Arrow down to LUT and press Enter. 8. Change LUT to Visual and press Enter. 9. Press Menu to exit. The rest of the image settings (gamma, contrast, saturation…) may also be controlled from this menu.
35
Where are the larger page size formats in the printer driver setup?
FAQ Where are the larger page size formats in the printer driver setup? The Codonics Printer Driver supports small-format (8x10 and A-size) printing only. Large format printing must be done using DICOM.
36
The Horizon is prompting for 8x10 CV Paper. Where can I get this?
FAQ The Horizon is prompting for 8x10 CV Paper. Where can I get this? This is not a valid media combination. Check the Codonics configuration screen (either through DICOM or the driver, depending on your installation.) Make sure that both the media size and the media type are set up correctly. Additionally, through DICOM make sure the AE Title is a-cvp or a4-cvp, as appropriate.
37
The Print Preview screen refuses to activate when using DICOM.
FAQ The Print Preview screen refuses to activate when using DICOM. Turn Print Preview off and re-start. Go into the DICOM configuration Turn off Print Preview. Exit Configuration. Re-enter configuration Turn Print Preview back on Save & Exit. Restart Printer Daemon
38
Color printing is not working through DICOM.
FAQ Color printing is not working through DICOM. Make sure you have DICOM software 4.24 or 4.25. Make sure that you have Color selected in the DICOM or Printer Driver setup.
