When a Connectivity Release Document isn't available or doesn't fully resolve an image-quality complaint, tune contrast and sharpness directly at the connected modality's own DICOM send settings — LUT selection for contrast, page-mode/image-mode-aware smooth-factor selection for sharpness — before touching the printer itself.
Applies to
Drystar 5300, Type 5365 (source Chapter 1, "Controls, Connections and Set Up Procedures," Edition 1, Revision 10, 2006-01-26) — §7.4.2 "Image Adjustments at the Modality" (§7.4.2.1 Contrast Adjustment, §7.4.2.2 Sharpness Adjustment), document p.65-66. This is step 2 of the printer's image-adjustment decision path: start from the modality's Connectivity Release Document (§7.4.1, a separate atom) first; use this section if no Connectivity Release Document exists for the modality, or the customer is still not satisfied after following it.
Personnel
Field service engineer or key-operator configuring the connected modality's own DICOM send settings — selecting the taste/perception/correction/presentation LUT for contrast, and reading the modality's DICOM conformance statement to pick the matching interpolation smooth factor for sharpness. This is modality-side configuration, not printer disassembly or measurement; requires console/service access on the modality itself. Source assigns no formal skill-level label to this section (derived).
