Quality Control

In order to establish and maintain consistent image quality, a regular

evaluation of image quality is advised.
The printer 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 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.

Note

Repeat the two main steps of the Hard Copy quality

procedures for each input tray loaded with general radiography

films.

The results of these tests are recorded on Quality Control Charts.
The QC image has several additional fields where the QC data can be filled in.

This image should be filed as part of the QC procedure.
