In case a Connectivity Release Document for a modality - printer connection
is available for Drystar 4500 (M), Drystar 5500 or Drystar 5300 only, this can
also be used for Drystar 5302.
The Drystar 5302 behavior is with some exceptions the same as the
behavior of the other printers mentioned above.
Main differences:
• Compared to Drystar 4500 M, the Drystar 5302 does not support
Mammo functionality (Dmax > 3.6 O.D)
• Compared to Drystar 5500, the Drystar 5302 does not support the
function to select a certain output tray (as only one is available).
• Compared to Drystar 5300, the Drystar 5302 supports 2 different film
sizes or types simultaneously.

Image Adjustment at the Modality

Before adjusting the image quality at the printer, first try to adjust it at the
modality as described here! The default Image Quality of the printer fits
almost all applications!
Only if changes at the modality cannot be done, or the modality does not
deliver the required results, make adaptations for these modalities at the
printer to reach the customers Image Quality requirements.
Contrast Adjustment at the Modality
The Look-Up-Table is responsible for the contrast of the image (in
combination with Dmin and Dmax) and may be named at the modality:
•
Taste LUT
•
Perception LUT
•
Correction LUT
•
Presentation LUT
If possible use the "Kanamori Taste LUT" (if available also Dmax) to define the
contrast.
Printed copies of this document are not controlled.
