Test Image SMPTE
Print one of the three SMPTE test-image variants and read its 7 fields at the lightbox — this is the DryStar 5300's standard reference pattern for judging image quality and for troubleshooting (cross-referenced from chapter 3.3).
Applies to
DryStar 5300 (Type 5365/100)
Personnel
1 technician · Service-level technician — prints the SMPTE test image from the key-operator menu and evaluates the 7 fields visually at the lightbox; no test equipment or disassembly needed for this check itself. Comparable Dmax density measurements require the separate LinCheck test image and its dedicated 'density measurement area' (derived — source does not assign a formal skill-level label to this section).
