Clearing Image Plate Jams - AGFA CR 75.0 Reference Manual

Clearing image plate jams

The CR 75.0 always reads and digitizes the plate first, then erases it and
feeds it to the output buffer. If a plate jam occurs before the plate is scanned,
there is a fair chance that you can recover the image by putting the image
plate back into the cassette and digitizing it again. While handling the image
plate, prevent exposing it to daylight as much as possible.
The diagram below shows the possible locations of a jammed image plate
and the probable status of the image.
