Calibrate the Imager for the Loaded Film

Automatic vs. Manual Calibration

The imager automatically calibrates film with a new media lot number.

The calibration initiates a test print with a step wedge pattern. The pattern has a series

of 21 step wedges of increasing optical density.

Occasionally, it will be necessary to manually calibrate the imager for the film. Run a

calibration manually when:

• Code 001 appears on the display screen.

• A calibration error occurred, indicated by codes 624, 631, or 632 on the display screen.

•A Not Calibrated message appears on the Web Portal Home screen.

Manual Calibration

1. Press the Calibrate symbol for the film cartridge (upper or lower).

Figure 9: In this example, the imager is running a calibration on the lower cartridge. The

Calibration and Power symbols both flash while the calibration is in progress.

2. When the symbols stop flashing, the calibration is complete.

Note

If the Calibration symbol turns from blue to amber, there was a problem with the calibration

process. An error code will display, and the indicator light associates the error code to the film

cartridge. When a calibration error occurs, it might be necessary to address the error before you

can continue printing to that film cartridge.
