User’s Manual Overview General Information Calibration is a method of ensuring consistent image appearance, despite differences in film emulsions and variations in Processor chemistry. Images can be stored and printed at any time during calibration. If calibration takes place while the Laser Printer is printing, the new calibration takes effect only when all copies of the current page have finished printing.

Page 220: Items Needed For Processor Quality Assurance
The following items are needed for processor quality assurance: • Kodak Process Control Densitometer, or alternative densitometer • Thermometer (not mercury) • Control charts for recording process control data or Kodak Process Control Densitometer with an appropriate printer • Fresh box of Kodak Ektascan HN Laser Film The laser film that is routinely used in the Printer can be used, but the emulsion number must be tracked.
Page 221: Establishing The Baseline
• The Processor is filled with correctly mixed fresh chemicals. • The correct developer temperature and replenishment rates have been set. [2] Set aside a fresh box of Kodak Ektascan HN Laser Film. Designate it as the Quality Control (“QC”) film and record the emulsion number.
Page 222: Determining The Speed Index
[3] Record the average CUDP value on the control chart. Note For users of the Kodak Process Control Densitometer, it is recommended that the preset value of “Dmax” be changed to the CUDP value to more accurately describe the variable being monitored.
