dealer for the detailed specifications of the computer and the peripheral equipment.
• Use a commercial personal computer and monitor that passed our compatibility test with FCR PRIMA
Console (CR-IR 391CL). If non-approved ones are used, Fujifilm Corporation does not guarantee that
the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) will operate normally.
A commercial personal computer and monitors verified for compatibility are listed in Appendix A.
● Software Precautions
• Do not modify the Windows setting of the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL). Image input/output
might be disabled.
• While using the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL), do not double-click any file associated with any
other application software.
If you attempt to open a file associated with any other application software by double-clicking it, the
file would take a considerable time to open. If it is absolutely necessary to open that file, start up the
associated application software first and then control the application software to open the target file.
• Do not install any software in the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) in addition to the preinstalled
software. Do not uninstall any preinstalled software. Because the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR
391CL) comes with certain software preinstalled, installing additional software could interfere with the
preinstalled software, resulting in malfunction.
• Operate the disk drive with the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) applications.
• When selling this software alone, Fujifilm Corporation will not be responsible for any malfunction or
damage of the personal computer or the monitor.
Safety Information
• Verify the information that accompanies images and use it to aid in their reading. Pay particular
attention to patient information.
• When reading an image, be sure to verify the image flip information (front or back) and the actual
exposure condition of patient.
• Configure the image processing parameters for the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) to suit
display images.
Improperly configured image processing parameters could make correct image reading difficult.
• Adjust the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) to display images in a proper size.
The FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) may subject original images to interpolation processing
(display processing) to enable you to view the images in an optional display size. As a result, images
displayed in an improper size may not impart their intrinsic information.
• Multi-frame images may not be displayed in the set frame rate in case of cine play mode.
Confirm images after confirming the display of measured value of the frame rate.
● Monitor-related Precautions
• Luminance and contrast can be changed depending on the monitor types but never change them.
If it changed, an image may not be verified properly.
• Use the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) with proper screen contrast (high/low) settings.
Improper screen contrast (high/low) settings could make image reading difficult.
• Before reading images on FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL), make sure that the monitor is set at
the right angle for viewing. If the monitor is not set at the right angle, adjust it.
An improperly angled monitor could make it difficult to read images properly.
• Do not change the display setting (for portrait or landscape) of the LCD monitor that was set at time of
installation. If you need to change the display orientation setting, contact our authorized dealer.
● Media Management
• Do not leave disks for the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) in dusty places, hot or damp places,
places exposed to direct sunlight or in places that are subjected to sharp temperature differences.
• Duplicate (copy) every disk to which images are stored.
Check disks for consistency by following the instructions found in “13.13 Media Consistency Check”.
Images stored to the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) hard drive or disks could be lost as a result
of equipment or media faults. Further, some characteristics of a disk could make images stored on the
disk inaccessible for reading or writing if the disk has deteriorated over an extended period of usage,
even though it has been stored properly. An improperly stored disk could make images stored on it
inaccessible for reading or writing within months.
Neither FUJIFILM Corporation nor the vendor assumes any liability or responsibility for any loss of
images and data.
Safety Information
• Erase manually a remaining image on an imaging plate exposured at large X-ray dose.
Incomplete erasing of an image on the imaging plate could make image reading difficult.
● Media
• Do not use the disks that are dedicated to image storage on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL)
for any other use. Images stored on those disks would be made inaccessible for browsing.
• Use disks that meet the requirements listed in “2.7 Before Using Disks”.
• Be careful not to confuse the DVD disk with the CD-R or DVD-R disk for PDI because the CD-R or
DVD-R disk for PDI to be given to the patient is created using the DVD drive to create DVD disks.
When creating a CD-R or DVD-R disk for PDI, write information (patient name, patient ID, birth date,
disk creation date, study date, facility name) on the front of the CD-R or DVD-R disk in order to
distinguish it from DVD+RW/-RW disk.
When giving the created disk for PDI to the patient, advise the patient that the contents of the disk is
for reference.
• Do not handle the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) in a Windows Explorer operation, unless
otherwise specified in this Reference Guide.
If you eject a disk in a Windows Explorer operation, the data stored on the disk could be corrupted as
a consequence of the disk having been ejected while images were being written to or read from it, or
your application might not be able to eject it.
Further, when you browse through information stored on the disk, the information might take time
before it shows up.
● NAS
• When the caution about lack of HDD space is displayed, add NAS. In such cases, consult our
authorized dealer.
• When an error of NAS is displayed in the indicator for Event, consult our authorized dealer.

Z.1 Precautions to Take Before Exposure
This section describes precautions to observe before performing exposure.
It is recommended to use Bucky’s device to remove scatter rays and obtain a high-quality image.
When carrying out exposure using a stationary grid, it is recommended to use a 60 lines/cm grid with
fewer artifacts.
Use a grid whose line direction is parallel to the cassette’s vertical direction (between top and bottom).
