Requesting a Calibration

October 4, 2004
In some regions you can return your empty Kodak DryView Film Cartridges
to Kodak for reuse and recycling. Contact your Kodak sales representative
to determine the availability of the film cartridge recycling program in your
region.
Returned cartridges are carefully inspected. Only components that meet
strict quality standards are reused. Components that do not meet the
standards are sent to recycling centers for reclamation.
This program is part of Kodak's commitment to reduce the environmental
impact of our products.
For additional information on the Kodak Recycling Program in the U.S. and
Canada, visit the Kodak Web site: www.kodak.com/go/KES
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 Home screen.
Imager calibration is performed by printing a calibration print. The Imager
prints a calibration print when:
• A film cartridge containing film with new sensitometric characteristics
(speed, contrast) is loaded.
• The Imager has not printed film for 7 days.
• The Dpatch (density patch) printed on the film is out of range. Applies to
35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.) film only.
You can also request a calibration print from the Local Panel.
A calibration print has a step wedge pattern, a series of 26 stripes of
increasing optical density. The only purpose of a calibration print is to
calibrate the Imager. You can discard all calibration prints.
Occasionally, the Imager may fail calibration and will notify the operator
with an error message on the Local Panel. The most common cause is a film
problem. Depending on the cause, the Imager may be able to continue
operating after you acknowledge the error message. For more information
on calibration failure refer to
