Loading ChromaVista Media

This technical brief explains how to load ChromaVista color
media and color ribbon in the Horizon Multi-media Dry
Imager.
Note: The color ribbon-related illustrations in the
Horizon Imager User's Manual show a ribbon cartridge.
However, the cartridge is not yet available. For that
reason, this technical brief covers how to replace the
open spool version of the color ribbon, which is
available.
Overview of ChromaVista Paper
and Film
ChromaVista color paper and film used with the Horizon
imager is prepackaged in factory-sealed, disposable
cassettes.
Barcode
(on side)
Cassette cover:
do not remove
®
Each cassette contains a barcode that identifies the media
type and size, serial number, and sensitometry information.
The cassette's lot number and "Use by" date are also printed
on the barcode label.
CAUTION: Do not refill a cassette. Do not tamper
with or remove the barcode label. The cassette's
barcode information is essential for ensuring
diagnostic image quality. Compromising the cassette
in any way jeopardizes the quality and reliability of
the imager.
Cassettes can be loaded into any of the Horizon imager's
three supply slots. However, the logical way to load cassettes
would be to insert the smaller ones at the top and the larger
ones at the bottom. This ensures that you can readily see
each cassette's label and see whether there are sheets in any
of the receive trays.
