Performing the annual QC test (Geometric Consistency Test)
To be able to notice fluctuations in image size and aspect ratio, you must
perform this procedure once a year.
perform this procedure once a year.
1
First, perform the daily test.
2
Use the QC test image of the weekly test and measure the dimensions A and
B of the geometric square. Refer to
B of the geometric square. Refer to
3
Record these values as measured dimensions A and B on the Drystar 5300
Chart 4 (‘Drystar 5300 Geometric Consistency Control Chart’). Refer to
Appendix B

4
Compare the A and B values with the reference values A
ref
and B
ref
on the
Chart 4 (‘Drystar 5300 Geometric Consistency Control Chart’).
The differences between measured dimensions A and B and the reference values
A
A
ref
and B
ref
should be less than or equal to 1.0%.
5
Check for image distortion.
6
Calculate the aspect ratio by dividing A by B.
The result must be 1 ± 0.01.
Make sure to measure distance A from the left edge of the left line to the
right edge of the right line and distance B from the upper edge of the
upper line to the lower edge of the lower line.

upper line to the lower edge of the lower line.
We strongly recommend using a 30-cm (12-inch) machinist scale with
0.5 mm divisions (1/64 inch).
