Adjusting Image Quality at the Printer (LUT, Interpolation, Dmax)
When a modality can't be tuned to give the contrast, sharpness, or density a customer wants, this Key-operator menu screen is the printer-side fallback — three fields (Look-up table, Interpolation, Dmax) that only take effect when the modality itself doesn't dictate the value.
Applies to
DryStar 5300, Type 5365/100 — source Chapter 1, Controls, Connections and Set Up Procedures, §7.4.3 "Image Adjustments at the Printer", Edition 1, Revision 10 (2006-01-26), document p.67-68 (chapter-relative footers "Chapter 1 / 35" and "Chapter 1 / 36").
Personnel
1 technician · Basic menu navigation to reach and change the three fields — no tools or test equipment involved. The real skill is judgment: knowing that a value set here is only a fallback, because a value the modality sends (including an empty one) always overrides it — so the first move on a print-quality complaint is to check the modality side, per the priority rule documented below. (derived — source assigns no formal skill-level label to this section.)
