Replacing the plate guide
The unit can scan phosphor storage plates of
size 0 to size 4 with the corresponding plate
guide. The matching plate guide is needed for
each size of phosphor storage plate. The size of
the phosphor storage plate is marked on the
plate guide. Any of the feed slits can be used for
this purpose.
All plate guides need to be removed during the
scanning of phosphor storage plates.
Check and make sure that the proper plate
❯
guide is inserted.
If the incorrect plate guide has been inserted, it
must be removed and the correct plate guide
must be inserted.
Remove the plate guide.
