Changing The Image Plate Type (Dedicated Configuration Only) - AGFA CR 25.0 User Manual

Changing the image plate type (Dedicated
configuration only)
If you use new generation ADC phosphor plates, the cassettes containing the
plates must first be initialized. The new generation of plates can be identified by
the plate type and the initializing code printed on the back (e.g. MD 30 19).
If you purchased cassettes already containing ADC phosphor plates, the
cassettes are ready for use. If you purchased ADC phosphor plates or cassettes
separately, the cassettes must be initialized first.
In the dedicated configuration, you can initialize cassettes via the CR 25.0.
To initialize a cassette:
1 Check that the CR 25.0 is ready for operation:
• The CR 25.0 must display the operator main screen with 'Ready' status, e.g.:
QS not ready
CR 25.0
• The status indicator at the top of the CR 25.0 must be green and be lit constantly.
❖
The CR 25.0 is operational if the status field equals 'READY', even if status
messages of the destination are shown (e.g. 'QS not ready').
2 In the ID Software on the ID Station, select the mode for initializing cassettes.
Refer to the User manual of the ID Software.
The display of the CR 25.0 will read:
