Abstract
A method for printing a medical image transmits, from a transceiver that is associated with a printer, a wireless query signal and receives a wireless response signal from a transponder that is coupled to a print medium, the transponder having a memory, wherein the response signal is indicative of at least a media orientation and type available for printing. Image data and image orientation information associated with the image data are obtained and a prompt signal provided that indicates a discrepancy between the media orientation and the image orientation associated with the image data. In response to an operator instruction, printing continues.
Claims19
A method for printing a medical image, the method comprising:
- transmitting, from a transceiver that is associated with a printer, a wireless query signal;
- receiving a wireless response signal from a transponder that is coupled to a print medium, the transponder having a memory, wherein the response signal is indicative of at least a media orientation and type available for printing, obtained from the memory;
- obtaining image data and image orientation information associated with the image data;
- providing a prompt signal that indicates a discrepancy between the media orientation and the image orientation associated with the image data;
- and
- responding to an operator instruction to continue printing.
A method for printing a medical image, comprising:
- obtaining medical image data and information related to the dimensions of the medical image;
- determining at least a media orientation and size for sheet media installed in a printer;
- prompting a user to resolve a discrepancy between medical image dimensions and media orientation and size;
- and
- printing the medical image onto the sheet media.
A method for printing a medical image, the method comprising:
- transmitting, from a transceiver that is associated with a printer, a wireless query signal;
- receiving a wireless response signal from a plurality of transponders, wherein each transponder is coupled to a print medium, the transponder having a memory, wherein the response signal is indicative of at least a media orientation and type available for printing, obtained from the memory;
- obtaining image data and image orientation information associated with the image data;
- indicating selection of one of the print media according to the response signal from the selected one of the print media;
- and
- printing on the selected print medium.
