Place the barrier envelope containing the phos-
❯
phor storage plate in the plate guide such that
it is aligned in the middle and straight. The
opened side of the barrier envelope faces
down, the inactive side of the PSP faces the
operator.
The device recognizes automatically if the
phosphor storage plate was fed in wrong
orientation (active side toward the user)
and displays a message to this effect on
the touchscreen. Turn over the phosphor
storage plate (in active site toward the
user)and feed it in again immediately.
The phosphor storage plate must not be
❯
pushed out of the barrier envelope before plac-
ing it against the plate guide. Otherwise there is
a risk that image information could be erased
by ambient light (see "9 Correct use of phos-
phor storage plates").
Slide the phosphor storage plate out of its bar-
❯
rier envelope downwards into the device until
the phosphor storage plate is automatically
drawn in.
The barrier envelope is held in place by the
plate guide and is not transported into the unit.
Make sure to insert only the phosphor storage
plate, and not the barrier envelope, into the
unit.
The image data is automatically transmitted to
the imaging software.
After it has been scanned, the phosphor stor-
age plate is erased and drops into the collec-
tion tray.
Remove the empty barrier envelope.
