10. 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.

15. Connecting To Current Philips Nuclear Medicine Workstations
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.
