The message window shown below appears. Confirm the selection by clicking Yes, or cancel
the selection by clicking No. While marking the row bad the sensor is simultaneously recali-
brated.

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
numbering is not consecutive. The amount of sensor chip rows that can be marked bad is lim-
ited to six. In case you have already marked six rows, more rows cannot be marked and the
following message window appears.
Figure 105
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
section "Checking the head support position" on page E-59 or using the Dimax2Tool pro-
gram'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.
