Insert The Cassette In The Digitizer - AGFA CR 30-X User Manual

Insert the Cassette in the Digitizer

At the digitizer:
1. Check that the digitizer is ready for operation:
The status indicator on the digitizer constantly lights up in green.
2. Insert the cassette containing the exposed image plate into the cassette
slot [1] of the digitizer.
Make sure to insert the cassette with the black side to the top and with the
shutter opening mechanism and the locking mechanism inside the
digitizer.
Make sure that the cassette is firmly pushed to the right side of the slot [2].
Otherwise, the digitizer cannot read the image plate.
CAUTION:
Image quality may suffer if a cassette and plate is not scanned
soon after exposure. The Agfa phosphor has excellent dark
decay characteristics. Two hours after exposure, approximately
80% of the energy stored upon exposure is still available. The
image retention is better than 50% up to 24 hours after
irradiation. However, in order to preserve image quality, a
cassette and plate should be scanned no later than 2 hours after
exposure.
CAUTION:
Using a not supported cassette format can cause an
image being lost, a need to retake the image or delayed
diagnosis.
Only insert cassettes of a supported format in the digitizer.
