Horizon® Multi-Media
Imager
Film, colour and paper in one compact design obsoletes film-only
imagers. The Horizon Multi-Media Imager offers more versatility than any
other imager, by simultaneously printing diagnostic quality film, colour
paper and grayscale paper in one cost-effective, high performance
device.
Horizon’s multi-media alternatives allow you to show off the stunning
output from any modality and market your advanced imaging equipment.
Horizon is easy to use, requiring no operator intervention to go from film
to colour to grayscale printing. For CR/DR applications, our Horizon XL
model prints digitally stitched images on one continuous film with “truesize” imaging up to 51” in length. Codonics film is daylight safe, easy to
handle and eliminates wet film processing.
Rest easy in the knowledge that you can depend on the Horizon MultiMedia Imager to deliver reliable, consistent images with no compromise
in image quality.
If you’re not convinced already, below you’ll find 15 reasons
why you should choose a Horizon and how you can improve
the quality, speed and efficiency of your medical image print
production process.
3. Dynamic Media Transport System (DMTS)
Codonics’ patented imaging technology outputs superior
diagnostic film and paper with unmatched image quality.
1. Compact Size
The Horizon’s ultra-compact footprint easily allows it to be
placed on a desk, counter or in mobile applications. Requiring
less than two feet of desk space and weighing less than 31.8
kilograms, Horizon delivers superior diagnostic quality images and
unmatched versatility.
Horizon is the perfect printing solution for tight spaces or where
space is at a premium. This means that you can not only get the
same print quality results as you could with larger, more expensive
laser printers, but you can do so effectively and conveniently
without taking up valuable space.
2. Outstanding Image Quality Output
In thousands of side-by-side comparisons, radiologists could not
tell the difference between images printed on Horizon from those
printed on larger and more expensive laser imagers.
Horizon’s patented imaging technology outputs film and paper
achieving unmatched versatility and image quality. Horizon
delivers reliable and consistent images with absolutely no
compromise in image quality.

4. Three Collating Receive Trays
Horizon provides outstanding flexibility and ease of use. This
is well demonstrated by the imager’s collating tray setup and
features. Any media type can be sent to any of Horizon’s trays,
making it easy to sort prints any way you wish - by radiologist, by
modality or by department.
5. Smart Card / Zip Drive Technology
Horizon’s exclusive Smart Card technology stores all of the
imager’s internal settings. The Smart Card stores the personality
of your imager. All feature keys, network information and most
settings are kept on the Smart Card. If you receive a replacement
imager (available under certain warranty types - see page 6 for
more details), it is critical to remember to take the Smart Card
out of your old unit and insert it into the new one. In doing so, the
new Horizon will automatically update with all the settings of the
previous imager, providing instant uptime.
The Zip Drive, which is conveniently built-into the Horizon imager,
allows for simple, quick and easy software updates and field
upgrades.

DICOM is never easy to manage. With a multitude of storage and

without a service technician. Horizon also features easy-to-see
‘Online’, ‘Alert’, ‘Fault’ and ‘Active’ display lights.
12.Medical Colour Matching (MCM™)
Codonics exclusive Medical Colour Matching (MCM™) is an
advanced image processing feature that adjusts printed output
colours to accurately match soft-copy monitors.
This process corrects differences in hue, saturation and intensity
between the printer and soft-copy review stations. User’s can
easily determine the best match for their screen using the
automatic MCM bracketing feature which is built into every
Codonics imager.
13.Long Film Imaging on Horizon XL

addition to long film, the XL prints on standard sizes, low-cost
grayscale paper and colour paper.
