Classic, Ortho & Intraoral
INTRAORAL IMAGING PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
Scanning and Erasing Intraoral Plates. Scan and erase an intraoral PSP in one operation as follows .
1 . Carefully open the Plate Transfer Box .
2 . Grasp a PSP by the edges between your thumb and index finger .
3 . With the printed side facing you, carefully and quickly insert the PSP into the corresponding plate guide
slot as far as possible . The wide side of Size #2 plates are fed into the guide as shown by Figure 12 .
Plate sizes #0, #1 and #3 are fed with the short side into the guide .
4 . Immediately press the PSP all the way down until the scanner's transport mechanism takes over and
the PSP moves down on its own .
5 . Verify that both the corresponding lane and pointer LED indicators light amber, indicating the Plate
Guide slot is in use processing the plate .
PSP Pick-up.
Note: Up to four PSPs can be processed simultaneously. One PSP can be inserted
into each Plate Guide at a time as long as the corresponding track indicator
light is illuminated bright green. The next PSP may be fed into a Plate Guide slot
only after the corresponding track indicator LED changes from amber to green.
6 . Observe that a red glow emanates from the scanner exit slot .
7 . Repeat steps 2 through 6 to process additional PSPs as necessary . Another PSP may be fed into
any Plate Guide slot as long as the track indicator light illuminates green .
8 . Observe that each scanned and erased PSP drops into the receiving tray at the bottom of the
scanner . Since the default operation is with the erase mode enabled (ERASER Status LED Indicator
lit steadily blue), each PSP is erased and ready for reuse .
Note: The lane and pointer LED indicators remain lit green as long as the imaging
software is set to acquire images.
9 . Observe that the associated track indicator light illuminates amber when processing PSPs . Verify
that the track indicators return to green when the processing ends .
10 . Also verify that the red glow from the exit slot extinguishes after the last PSP drops to the tray .
CAUTION: Always use exercise care in handling the PSPs so as not to scratch the
sensitive surface or nick the edges.
11 . Retrieve the processed (scanned and erased) PSPs for reuse or storage . Make sure not to scratch
the sensitive surface or nick the edges when removing from the scanner outlet .
12 . View and save each scanned image using the user-supplied imaging software .

Transfer the PSP from the Plate Transfer Box to the Plate Guide slot quickly. Always keep
the sensitive side away from any light source to minimize image loss.
