About Mammography Test Prints

The default mammography test pattern is a QC step test wedge print. This print is
generated when mammography film is loaded and the user presses the Calibration
symbol for three seconds.
The QC step wedge test print provides density feedback at the conclusion of the test print
cycle, letting you track and record density variations on mammography film. Four
nominal output densities have been selected for control charting purposes:
• Step 1—Low density, not less than 0.45
• Step 2—High density, approximately 2.20
