Configure how the study date looks when printing images from an IMPAX Client. This feature is mainly for use at European sites that prefer a different date format than the default DICOM one. The current date format is listed in the Current Format field. Unsaved changes are reflected in the New Format field.
 | Note: You may notice differences between the date format displayed on-screen and the format displayed when printing. The Display date format is determined by the local regional settings on the station. The print date format defined in the Administration Tools is applied to the entire site. |
To set the print date format
On the Setup tab, click Print Date Manager.
To set the order in which you want the day, month, and year to appear, from each list, select:
The Day to appear as FIRST, SECOND, or THIRD.
The Month to appear as FIRST, SECOND, or THIRD.
The Year to appear as FIRST, SECOND, or THIRD.
You cannot set more than one part to the same selection. For example, Day and Year cannot both be THIRD.
From the First Separator list, select the separator to use between the first and second date components.
From the Second Separator list, select the separator to use between the second and third date components.
Under Year Format, select Two Digits or Four Digits.
Click Save.
The Current Format field is updated.
| Note: Date format can also be set in the IMPAX Client Configure area - Preferences section. Refer to “Selecting the date format for printed images” (topic number 8154) in the IMPAX 6.5.1 Client Knowledge Base: Extended. |
