2.2.2.3Association Initiation Policies

2.2.2.3.1Activity – Print Images

2.2.2.3.1.1Description and Sequencing of Activity

The user composes images into film sheets and requests them to be sent to a specific hardcopy device. A priori, the desired film format can be selected. Each sheet is internally processed, converted to a STANDARD/1,1 page and then one print job is forwarded to the job queue of the destination and processed individually.

The DICOM Print AE or "Workstation" will initiate a separate Association for each Print Session.

If the Printer rejects the Association, then "Workstation" issues a warning message. In case of a time-out (e.g. no answer from the Printer) or a warning message, the request will be retried after at least 20 seconds. In the mean time requests to other destinations will be handled.

After an association is established, the "Workstation" will send one film session to the Printer. Each film session will contain one film box, which in turn contains one image box.

The N-ACTION DIMSE service on Film Session SOP class instructs the printer to print the film session.

The print job has finished printing when the job is transferred to the printer or when the printer has sent the N-EVENT-REPORT “Done” (in case print job sop class is supported by the printer).

The "Workstation" releases the association. In case of N-EVENT-REPORT it will not wait for print job status “Done”.

The default PDU size negotiated by the "Workstation" is 65542 bytes.

It is possible to print up to 16 bit (see §2.4.1.2.4).

3XX is the build version number
