Preparing Multiple Exposed Plates For Batch Scanner Processing - Air Techniques ScanX Swift Instruction Manual

Operation

13.6 Preparing Multiple Exposed Plates for Batch Scanner Processing.

Use the optional Transfer Storage Box when performing batch processing . Keep the exposed plate
away from light once removed from the barrier envelope . Always keep the sensitive side away from
any light source to minimize image loss .
1 . Disinfect the Barrier Envelope (with plate still inside) by washing with disinfectant hand soap and
water . Dry the Barrier Envelope thoroughly .
2 . Remove gloves and wash any powder from hands . Powder on a PSP will degrade the image, and
an accumulation of powder in the scanner will lead to degradation of scanner performance .
IMPORTANT: When using optional transfer box, be sure that the sensitive side of the PSP is facing down
as it lands on the in the box (See Figure 13-4, View C). If the plate is not sensitive side down, TURN IT
OVER IMMEDIATELY. Failure to do so may result in erasure of the PSP .
3 . Lay the box on a flat surface near the ScanX Swift as shown by Figure 13-4, View A .
4 . As shown by Figure 13-4, View B, remove the exposed PSP from its washed and dried envelope
as follows:
a . Hold the enveloped exposed PSP , with the printed side facing up, parallel to and about an inch
above the Transfer Storage Box or some other container or cover .
b . Tear the envelope lengthwise starting at the notch to eject the PSP onto the box or surface .
5 . As shown by Figure 13-4, View C, the PSP is now ready to be scanned to read the image from
the PSP by performing scanning procedures .
