Introduction  
System Overview  
The UP-DF500 digital film imager is a thermal printer  
designed to reproduces image data in DICOM format  
sent via the network.  
The UP-DF500 has the following functions’  
• Equipped with DICOM (Digital Imaging and  
Communications in Medicine) features  
The DICOM portion of the unit receives image data in  
DICOM format sent from the modality via the  
network, processes them at 14 inches × 17 inches  
either by enlarging or reducing them.  
• High quality and high print resolution  
The unit allows you to print out in high-resolution  
black and white (4096 shades) and in high-resolution  
print mode (320 dpi).  
• Suitable for diagnosing using image data captured by  
diagnosis equipment

Preparation  
Explains the steps involved in placing and connecting  
the unit prior to getting started - checking the supplied  
accessories and assembly. Once all assembly and all  
connections have been made, there should be no need to  
perform these operations again during normal printing  
operations.  
The unit prints image data on the 14 × 17 inches blue  
thermal film, and these prints are used for diagnosing.  
Also, the unit provides sufficient high picture quality  
for image diagnosis.  
Operation  
Describes loading of the film tray and blue thermal film,  
and actual printing operations.  
• Space saving  
You can place the unit either horizontally or vertically.  
This allows you to design system configuration freely  
in accordance with the location.

Describes how to make adjustment such as sharpness,  
calibration and density adjustment, and to how to select  
gamma curve, using the menus displayed on the LCD.  
Miscellaneous  
Provides technical information in the unit, regular  
maintenance, how to handle error messages displayed in  
the LCD, and how to deal with paper jams. Also, an  
index will assist you in locating the desired section  
quickly.

125 sheets of 14 × 17 inch film  
Be sure to use film made expressly for the UP-DF500. If  
you use other film, the quality of the printout cannot be  
guaranteed. Use of another type of film may also cause  
malfunction of the unit.  
Notes  
You can replace film without pulling out the film  
tray completely out. However, if you want to pull  
out it completely, hold both sides of the film tray  
and film tray cover firmly.  
• The film tray can not be ejected while printing or  
when the covers are open.  
Loading Film  
Proceed as follows to load film sheets.  
If you use the unit immediately after purchase, start  
operations from step 2.

Note  
If the old printing surface protection sheet remains  
in the film tray, remove it.  
Notes  
• Hold the film using the aluminum damp-proof bag. Do  
not touch the film directly. Dust, finger prints, or sweat  
are likely to cause unsatisfactory printing.

An IC tag is attached to the printing surface protection  
sheet. Be careful not to damage the IC tag or give it a  
shock.  
Notes  
• When handling the film, do not touch the printing  
surface of the film. Dust, finger prints, or sweat  
are likely to cause unsatisfactory printing.  
• Load the film so that it lays flat in the film tray. If  
the film is curled, it will overflow the film tray  
and the printing position may shift. Also, it may  
cause film jamming.  
• If you place the film in the film tray with its  
printing surface facing up, it is recommended that  
you clean the thermal head with the cleaning kit

Note  
• Do not add film halfway through one bag of film.  
The reason for this is because the unit counts the  
remaining film using the IC tag on the printing  
protection sheet on the bottom.  
Be sure to check that the hooks of the film tray  
cover and its magnets are attached firmly on the  
film tray. If the film tray cover is not closed  
correctly, film placed in the film tray may slide  
around.

Notes on storing your printouts  
• Do not leave the printouts in direct sunlight or bright  
room light. Store in a cool and low humid place (under  
77 °F (25 °C)). We recommend storing the printouts in  
a polypropylene pouch in a cabinet.  
• Do not allow any volatile organic solvent such as  
water or alcohol to come in contact with the printouts.  
This can cause fading of the printout. If the printouts  
come in contact with such liquid, wipe them off  
quickly.  
• Adhesives from cellophane tape or PVC will cause  
fading of the printout. Be careful when storing  
printouts.

film tray. This will cause the printer to malfunction.  
Also, if the film is used in this state, spots are likely to  
appear on the printout.  
Miscellaneous  
• To store a half-used package of film, replace the film  
in its original packing and reseal the package. If  
possible, before using sealed film, place it, in its  
sealed package, in a warm room for several hours.  
Doing so prevents condensation from forming when  
the film is removed from its package.  
Precautions  
Safety  
• Operate the unit using the power source specified in  
Transporting the Unit  
Before transporting the unit, remove the supplied  
accessories and then put them back into their original  
packing. Transporting the unit with the supplied  
accessories still installed may cause malfunctions.  
• Be careful not to damage the AC power cord by  
placing or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous  
to use the unit with a damaged AC power cord.  
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time,  
disconnect the AC power cord.  
• Unplug the AC power cord by grasping the plug, not  
the cable itself.  
• Do not disassemble the unit.  
Note  
It is dangerous to move the unit with the casters used to  
stand it vertically. Do not use the caster to move the unit.  
• Do not remove the cabinet. There is a danger of  
electric shock from the internal parts.  
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the  
unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to  
enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the  
cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire  
or electric shock.  
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into  
the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and  
consult your Sony dealer.  
Cleaning the Cabinet  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry  
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild  
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such  
as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.  
Note  
Be sure to set the ON/STANDBY switch on the front  
panel to STANDBY before cleaning the cabinet.  
Installation  
Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:  
mechanical vibration  
– high humidity  
– excessive dust  
– direct or excessive sunlight  
Maintenance  
Perform the following maintenance regularly after every  
500 printings.  
• Replacing the cleaning roller  
– extremely high or low temperatures  
Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit  
from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them  
with other units or by covering the unit with a cloth  
etc.  
• Cleaning the thermal head, platen roller, pinch roller  
and separation rubbers  
• Cleaning the fan filter  
In addition to the above maintenance, regular  
maintenance is required after every 5,000 printings.  
However, you should ask your nearest Sony dealer to  
perform this maintenance.  
Condensation  
You can check the total number of prints using the  
TOTAL PRINTS item of the INFORMATION menu.  
• If the unit is subjected to wide and sudden changes in  
temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold  
room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with  
a heater that tends to produce large amounts of  
moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. In  
such cases the printer will probably not work properly,  
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it.  
If moisture condensation forms, turn off the power and  
allow the printer to stand for at least one hour.  
Note  
Before starting the following maintenance, be sure to set  
the ON/STANDBY switch on the front panel to  
STANDBY, and then the main POWER switch on the  
rear panel to OFF.  
• If the film is subjected to wide and sudden changes in  
temperature, condensation may form on the film in the
