4. From the Web Portal menu, select Configuration > DICOM SCP >
Configuration.
5. From the SCU menu, select the service class user (SCU) from which
you are printing.
6. Click Modify.
7. Enter the first set of parameters from the table above that matches
the SCU. For example:
• For CT images, enter the settings for row 1a.
• For CR images with Monochrome2 photometric interpretation,
enter the settings for row 1b.
• For each, select Always Apply.
8. Return to the modality and resend the image to print. Visually check
the print. If it still needs improvement, return to step 4 and retry
different settings. For example, you might experiment with the
Perception LUT Contrast setting for images using the TFT Set
LINODS.w87.
