An object which supports simplified DICOM printing.

By using this object it is possible to print to most DICOM printers without detailed knowledge of the underlying messages used.  At its simplest, it is used (in VB) as follows:

Set Print=new DicomPrint

Print.Node=address

Print.Port=104

Print.CallingAE=”MY AET”

Print.CalledAE=”PRINTER AET”

Print.Open

Print.FilmSize=”STANDARD\3,4”

For each image in images
 Print.PrintImage image
Next
Print.PrintFilm
Print.Close

The above is a very simple example, and much more flexibility is possible.  In particular, you can:

• Alter how images are laid out using NextPosition and PrintFilm
• Access printer properties (after Open) using the Printer object
• Change the Orientation, FilmSize, Copies or BitDepth
• Use the Colour property to select Colour or monochrome printing (where supported by the printer!)
• Even more properties of the session, filmbox or image box can be over-ridden using the Session, FilmBox and ImageBox properties.
