Application Context Name

1.2.840.10008.3.1.1.1

2.2.2.2.2Number of Associations

"Workstation" initiates one association at a time for each destination to which a print request is being processed in the active job queue list. Only one job per destination will be active at a time, the other remains pending until the active job for that destination is completed or failed. There can however be several simultaneous associations to different destinations.

Table 2.2-20: Number of Associations as an Association Initiator for DICOM Print AE

Maximum number of simultaneous associations initiated

1 per destination

(32 max)

2.2.2.2.3Asynchronous Nature

Table 2.2-21: Asynchronous Nature as an Association Initiator for DICOM Print AE

Maximum number of outstanding asynchronous transactions

None

DICOM Print AE allows a single outstanding operation on any association. Therefore it does not support asynchronous operations window negotiation, other than the default as specified by the DICOM specification.
