We have demonstrated the feasibility of printing multiple images on a formatted film without operator interaction. A host computer attached to a multiformat laser printer is used as a network server. The network (Ethernet, TCP/IP) achieves image data transfer rates to the server of 50-180 kbytes/sec, depending on the source unit. The network encompasses CT, MR, and angiographic systems. Authorized source units queue image data locally until polled by the print server. We have developed rules for format, window, and level control of the printed images; these rules are designed to handle image data from different modalities and study types.
