My Application needs to send Printout to DICOM Printer FujiFilm DryPix 4000. Application giving me this error message "Timeout Expired for remote host DTYPIX, aborting connection"
DTYPIX is my printer's AE Title

PrinterStatusScu shows printer status is NORMAL and VarifcationScu return the verification result and that is SUCCESS but when i call print method i get error
here.

following are the parameters i am passing on to Print function

("my computer name", "printer AE title", "printer IP address", 104, "Complete dcm file path");
 

If some body can help me with the problem.

Ok Printing Problem is partially solved , and now sending printout to DryPix 4000 Printer, (I did some settings in DryPix Printer, Specially disabled warning comming from printer) which let my code send print out to printer, but the print comming out is blank film.

I tried to open the same DICOM file in eFilm and it is showing very dark imgage hardly visible by human eye. While in Clear Canvas Workstation it shows fine.

My Source JPG Image is 24bit RGB Image , can somebody suggest me Header Tag settings for my image type

these are settings what i used

(0028, 0002) Samples Per Pixel: 3

(0028,0004) Photometric Interpertation : RGB

(0028,0010) Rows: 2912

(0028,0011) Columns : 3704

(0028,0100) Bits Allocated: 8

(0028,0101) Bits Stored: 8

(0028,0102) High Bit: 7

So can somebody suggest me values for Samples Per Pixel, Bits allocated, Bits Stored and High bit

Also how do i Add this Tag Element (0002,0016) Source Application Entity Title.

Which is required by DICOM Printer

thanks but can you also tell me what should be values of Greyscale 16 bit and 8 bit images for Samples Per Pixel, Bits Allocated, Bits Stored and High Bit?

Hi Omar,

For n-bit greyscale data, you should have Samples Per Pixel = 1, Bits Allocated = 8 or 16 (whichever is greater than or equal to n), Bits Stored = n, and High Bit = n-1. You will also need Pixel Representation (0028,0103) for a greyscale image, either 0 for unsigned pixel values, or 1 for signed pixel values.

Thus, if you have 16-bit unsigned data, you should use SPP=1, BA=16, BS=16, HB=15, PR=0, and for 8-bit unsigned, use SPP=1, BA=8, BS=8, HB=7, PR=0.

Hope this helps,

(Edit: As a check, you pixel data length in bytes should be exactly NumberOfFrames*SamplesPerPixel*Rows*Columns*BitsAllocated/8)

ok so this mean for 24 bits per pixel source image , we do not need to inlcude header Tag: Pixel Representation (0028,0103) ?
