Value

Meaning

 

PRINTSCU_BASIC_GRAYSCALE_PM_META_SOP_CLASS

[0x01] Specifies the Basic Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class.

 

PRINTSCU_BASIC_COLOR_PM_META_SOP_CLASS

[0x02] Specifies the Basic Color Print Management Meta SOP Class.

 

PRINTSCU_PULL_STORED_PM_META_SOP_CLASS

[0x04] Specifies the Pull Stored Print Management Meta SOP Class.

 

PRINTSCU_BASIC_ANNOTATION_BOX_SOP_CLASS

Returns

0

The Association was established successfully.

DICOM_ERROR_PRINTSCU_ASSOCIATE_RQ_REJECTED

The Association request was rejected by the Print SCP.

> 0

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The Association must be established successfully before any of the print management operations can be performed.

This function will first try to connect to the Print SCP. If successful, it will then try to establish the Association. This function will not return until the Association is accpeted/rejected by the Print SCP, or an error occurs.

The function LDicomPrintSCU::GetAssociateRejectInfo can be used to get information about the Association rejection in case the Association request was rejected by the Print SCP.

The uSupportedClasses parameter specifies those SOP/Meta SOP Classes that are supported by the Print SCU itself. Once the Association is established, the function LDicomPrintSCU::IsClassSupported can be used to test whether a particular SOP/Meta SOP Class is supported on the Association (and hence by the Print SCP).

The established Association must be released using the function LDicomPrintSCU::Release.

Note, there is no need to call the base class functions LDicomNet::Connect and LDicomNet::Close, when using the LDicomPrintSCU class.
