Changing The Image Plate Type (Dedicated Configuration Only) - AGFA ADC Solo 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 cas-
settes 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 ADC Solo.
To initialize a cassette:
1 Check that the ADC Solo is ready for operation:
• the ADC Solo must display the operator main screen with 'Ready' status, e.g.:
VIPS not ready
ADC SOLO
• the status indicator at the top of the ADC Solo must be green and be lit constantly.
The ADC Solo is operational if the status field equals 'READY', even if status
messages of the destination are shown (e.g. 'VIPS 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 ADC Solo will read:
