Establishing the daily operating reference density levels

This procedure enables you to establish the base line values for:
• Low density
• Mid density
• High density
To establish the daily operating levels, proceed as follows:
1 Press the Key-operator key to enter the Key-operator mode.
2 Press the down key seven times, followed by the confirm key to select ‘Quality
Control’.

Do one of the following:

• Press the Confirm key (YES) to start the QC procedure and proceed with
step 4.
• Press the Escape key (NO) to quit.
4 Define the tray for printing.
The ‘Select tray’ screen appears:(page128)

If the mid density value does not meet or exceeds the recommended
values, the reason must be found and the problem solved before any
further clinical films can be printed.

Maintaining optimal image quality

Calibration is necessary to maintain optimal image quality. This is required in
the following situations:
• Before initial use of a film,
• After a certain number of copies have been printed,
• After the replacement of a thermal head,
• When loading new films into the input tray
Film calibration can be initiated in 2 ways:
• Automatically, i.e. after printing every ‘x’ new film packs (frequency is
adjustable),
• Manually, i.e. you decide for yourself when to perform a film calibration,
e.g. daily, once a week or only when the image quality tends to degrade.
