User interface
The user interface to the unit consists of an On/off
switch to control operating power and a touch screen.
The touch screen allows the unit to be operated when

entered on the touch screen either with the tip of a
finger or the stylus.
The Help button is used to open a help page for the
respective task page.

ScanManager
When the ScanManager is enabled, more than one X-ray job can be transmitted simultaneously to the unit
from different computers. The unit manages the X-ray jobs in a queue from which the respective X-ray job
can be selected using the touch screen and then executed.
Without ScanManager, the unit processes one X-ray job at a time and is blocked until this job has been
completed. During this time, no further X-ray jobs can be transmitted to the unit from other computers.
ScanManager can be enabled via Settings
> System Settings> Operating Type .

5.3 Phosphor storage plate
The phosphor storage plate (PSP) stores X-ray energy, which is re-emitted in the form of light after excitation
by the laser. This light is then converted into image information in the imaging plate scanner.
The PSP has an active side and an inactive side. The PSP must always be exposed on the active side.
When used properly, PSPs can be exposed, read and erased several hundred times provided there is no
mechanical damage. The PSP must be replaced if there are any signs of damage, e.g. if the protective
layer is damaged or there are visible scratches that could interfere with the diagnosis.
