Our technically well-engineered solution (print-server-system) is ideal for printing your medical images based on the DICOM standard. The system is optimized to put your DICOM print jobs on paper. Additionally, the header can be designed advertising-efficiently, individually. DICOM Printer is a universal DICOM enabler. It acts as any Windows printer would, except that instead of going to paper, print jobs are sent either to PACS, DICOM CD or a DICOM-compliant film printer. DICOM Printer can be used to:-Associate reports from either software or hardware devices with studies in PACS. DICOMJet is a software solution allowing to turn any Windows-based Personal Computer with a connected printer into a DICOM Print Server.
- DCMprinter turns your Windows Computer into a Paper Dicom Print Server. In other words, no more expensive Film printing. Provide your patients and referring physicians with hardcopies of their studies. DCMprinter receives images from DICOM modalities and prints them on a regular Windows paper printer.
- Dicom print server free download. DCMLinux - Dicom Linux Distribution DCMLinux is a complete PACS system, free of charge. Its core is an Ubuntu 14.04 system fully. The DICOMJet software solution turns your office printer into a full-featured DICOM printer. DICOMJet is able to receive print requests.
Description
The DICOM Print Management Toolkit DCMPRINT consists of three components:
- a C++ class library implementing the DICOM print management communication protocol,
- a print server (Print Management SCP) which creates PostScript code that can be printed on inexpensive PostScript laser printers, and
- a simple print client (Print Management SCU) allowing to load DICOM images and to print them on the print server.
The print server implements the DICOM Print Management Service Class and a couple of optional extensions (Annotation Box, Print Job and Presentation LUT). The 'Basic Print Management' services are supported in their monochrome and colour variants.
The print client allows to control all options and features of the print server. The client is a very simple command line application demonstrating the underlying libraries and is not intended as a ready-to-use product.
Scientific papers on DCMPRINT
The following scientific papers describe the research work on which DCMPRINT is based:
- Eichelberg M, Hewett AJ, Jensch P: A Prototype Implementation of the DICOM Print Management Service Class, in: Proceedings EuroPACS 1994, Geneve, Sept. 1994
- Eichelberg M, Hewett AJ, Jensch P: Remote Printing of Medical and Secondary Capture Images for Distributed Hospitals in Rural Environments via the DICOM Print Management Service Class, in: Medical Imaging 1995, Proceedings SPIE
Reprints of these publications are available on request.
Features in detail
Both server and client component of DCMPRINT support the following DICOM services:
- Basic Grayscale Print Management
- Basic Color Print Management
- Print Jobs
- Annotations
- Presentation LUT
Under Unix-like systems, the server can be started in a multi-process mode. That means, that for every incoming association a new process is started which permits multiple clients to connect and print at the same time. Under Windows, the multi-process mode is not available. However, more than one server process can be started at the same time, serving different clients on different TCP/IP ports.
Further details can be found in the online documentation for the tools TCPSRV and TCPPRT.All three uncompressed transfer syntaxes are supported.
DCMPRINT is based on the DICOM toolkit DCMTK and is usually delivered in source code. DCMPRINT supports several Unix dialects, e. g. Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X. Most Windows platforms are also supported.

Convert to DICOM. Send to PACS and Film.
DICOM Printer 2 is a virtual printer and application that helps you send documents or images directly to PACS or print them to DICOM film. DP2 can combine a multitude of actions into powerful DICOM workflows, an example of which can be viewed in our blog.
Store Anything to PACS
DICOM Printer delivers many things automatically, in the background, without any user intervention.
Works with any Windows Application
DICOM Printer shows as a virtual Windows printer. You can print from any application, including from old non-DICOM workstations.
Key Features
Improve DICOM document storage with this revolutionary software.
- Programmable background operation
- Parses documents and queries worklist and stores to PACS.
- Can even ask for help for tricky documents.
- Makes decisions based on queries against PACS, Worklist, or third-party systems such as EMR, RIS, as well as proprietary databases.
Hold and Re-Attempt
DP2 can wait and intermittently re-query until associated exam records and images arrive in PACS, so it’s perfect for attaching referral documents to future diagnostic test results.
Non-Intrusive and Reliable
DP2 embodies our unique approach to workflows by providing robust “fire and forget” DICOM functionality to applications and devices — no more waiting until things get stored.
Plug-In Ready
Flexible XML configuration allows interfacing with outside tools, as well as scripting languages like Ruby or Python.

DICOM Printer also Sends to Film
DICOM Printer also supports output to Dry Imagers, such as Drystar, DRYPIX or DRYPRO — or multiples of each!
Compatible with all dry imager brands and models, including:
- AGFA Drystar Axys, 5302, etc.
- FUJI DRYPIX
- Kodak Dryview
- Konica/Minolta DRYPRO
- All other brands.
DP2 will output DICOM film from virtually any Windows application.
Fully Automated
Background operation delivers images and reports to film without any manual intervention.
True Size
DP2 makes sure the image comes out exactly the right size, no matter which printer or film you’re using.
Versatile
DP2 supports Grayscale in both 8-bit and 12-bit, as well as Color.
If you would like to try DP2 with your Dry Imager or PACS, then please download an evaluation copy and contact us to help you get started.
