Using and Maintaining the Imager
2011-09-09 2G0733 2-11
Calibration Prints imager calibration is performed by printing a calibration print. A calibration
print has a step wedge pattern with a series of 26 stripes of increasing
optical density. The only purpose of a calibration print is to calibrate the
imager. The imager prints a calibration print when:
• A manual film calibration is requested.
• A film tray containing film with new sensitometric characteristics
(speed, contrast) is loaded.
• A film tray for which a current calibration is not stored is inserted into
the imager.
You can discard all calibration prints.
Running a
Calibration Print
You may occasionally have to request that the imager print a calibration
print to calibrate the imager. You may be asked to do this if you call for
service. You should also run a calibration print if a "Not Calibrated" status
message appears on the Web Portal Home screen, or if a calibration error
code (2x-624, 2x-631, or 2x-632) appears on the display screen.
To request a calibration print from the local panel, press the calibration
button for the applicable film tray (see “Local Panel / Display Screen”).
To request a calibration print from the Web Portal:
1. Access the Web Portal (see “Accessing the Web Portal”).
2. Click Calibrate, for the applicable film tray.
Calibration Failure Occasionally, the imager may fail calibration and will notify the operator
with an error code on the display screen and a code and message on the Web
Portal. The most common cause is a film-related problem. Depending on the
cause, the imager may be able to continue operating but would display the
manual mode icon.
