DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL
Quality Control
In order to establish and maintain consistent image quality, a regular
evaluation of image quality is advised.
The Drystar 5302 contains an automatic QC feature that has been designed to
comply with the grayscale reproduction constancy test, according to the
international standard IEC 1223-2-4.
Local Regulations may require other procedures.
The Drystar 5302 QC procedure consists of two main steps:
• Before initial use, establishing a number of reference values that will be
used for further follow-up and verifying initial image quality.
• After establishing these values, performing regular daily, weekly and
annual quality tests.
The results of these tests are recorded on Quality Control Charts.
The QC image (Refer to ‘QC test image’ on page 52) has several additional
fields where the QC data can be filled in. This image should be filed as part of
the QC procedure.
For more information, please refer to ‘Quality Control Charts’ on page 75.
