Chapter E - DIMAX3 DIGITAL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
The cephalostat sensor consists of eight sensor chips, and normally the stripes are located in the
chip boundaries. You can find the chip boundaries by checking the row numbers: the row num-
bering is not consecutive. The amount of sensor chip rows that can be marked bad is limited to
six. In case you have already marked six rows, more rows cannot be marked and the following
message window appears.

The row can be returned back to normal by clicking it with the right mouse button.
Taking an ear posts exposure
You can now check the adjustments by taking an ear posts exposure either as described in sec-
tion "Checking the head support position" on page E-59 or using the Dimax2Tool program's
Tests / Ear posts command.
Rotate the head support to the 0° position and place the two ear posts into their holders if they
are not already installed.
Embedded in the end of the left (V or L) ear post there is a metal ball and embedded in the end of
the right ear post (O or R) is a metal ring. The images of these that appear on an exposed image
are used to check the alignment of the ear posts.
Select Ear posts from Tests menu.
