Scanning and Erasing Plates (continued)
Note: Up to two PSPs can be processed simultaneously. One PSP at a time can be inserted into each Plate
Guide as long as the corresponding track indicator light is illuminated green. The next PSP may be fed
into a Plate Guide slot only after the corresponding track indicator LED changes from yellow to green.
5 . Observe that a red glow emanates from the scanner exit slot .
6 . Repeat steps 1 through 5 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 .
7 . Observe that each scanned and erased PSP drops into the receiving tray at the bottom of the
scanner . Since ScanX default operation is with the erase mode enabled (blue LED indicator above
the ERASER switch is steadily illuminated), each PSP is erased and ready for reuse .
8 . Observe that all transport indicators illuminate green and the red glow from the exit slot extinguish
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.
9 . 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 .
10 . View and save each scanned image using the user-supplied authorized Imaging Software .
IMPORTANT: PSPs will not be erased after scanning when operating ScanX with the eraser disabled.
PSPs must always be erased prior to exposure to X-rays for new images.
Scanning Plates without Erasing
ScanX can be operated with the in-line eraser feature turned off . When the eraser mode is disabled, ScanX
scans the same as when the eraser is enabled except that the PSPs are not erased after scanning . Scan
an intraoral PSP without erasing the image by performing the following procedures .
1 . Activate the scanner by performing the procedures on
previous page .
Note: Upon activation, ScanX defaults with the eraser mode
enabled. This must be disabled prior to scanning to pre-
vent erasing of the scanned PSP.
2 . Disable the eraser mode of operation by pressing
the membrane ERASER switch located on the Keypad
Control Panel . See Figure 13 .
3 . Verify that the blue LED indicator above the ERASER
switch blinks blue to indicate that the Erase function is
OFF . PSPs will not be erased after scanning .
4 . Insert the exposed PSPs to be scanned into ScanX Plate
Guides by performing the Scanning and Erasing Plates
procedures provided on the previous page .
5 . The scanned PSPs still contain latent images that require
erasure . Make sure to erase each PSP prior to reuse for
new images .
