Load A Phosphor Screen Into The Cassette - Carestream Vita Flex CR System User Manual

Important
Failure to routinely clean the screens with a recommended solution may create the following
result:
• The screen may not move smoothly from the cassette into the reader, causing an error
message.
• The screen may not fully return to the cassette at the end of the cycle, preventing the cassette
from latching; no error message appears.
• Image artifacts may appear.
1. Dampen the cloth with a small amount of screen cleaner.
Caution
Do not pour screen cleaner directly onto the screen.
2. Wipe the screen thoroughly, one side at a time, applying pressure to remove
persistent contaminations if necessary.
3. Wipe the screen thoroughly dry on both sides with a dry cloth.
Caution
Do not leave the screen to air dry.
Never insert a phosphor screen into a cassette unless the screen and cassette are thoroughly dry.

Load a Phosphor Screen into the Cassette

1. With the extraction tool in place, hold the screen with the white (phosphor) side
down and insert the screen so that the dark side is facing the cassette label.
2. Hold the cassette vertically and make sure the screen is fully inserted into the cassette.
3. Pull up the release lever and remove the extraction tool.
Note
If you insert the screen incorrectly:
• The screen may not feed properly from the cassette, causing an error message.
• An exposed image might not be processed.
