Operation
12.2 Scanner plate processing.
Using the ScanX, the user has the option to perform single plate processing or batch processing
depending on their needs. Paragraph 12.3 provides the single plate and batch processing procedure.
Loss of image data
Image data on the plate will be lost when exposed to light. Transfer the PSP
from the Barrier Envelope to the Inlet Guide slot quickly. Always keep the
sensitive side away from any light source to minimize image loss.
Use of the optional Transfer Storage Box is recommended to protect data
loss when performing batch processing.
12.3 Preparing single and multiple exposed plates for scanner processing.
Use the optional Transfer Storage Box when performing batch processing. Keep the exposed plate
away from light once removed from the barrier envelope. Always keep the sensitive side away from
any light source to minimize image loss.
1. Disinfect the Barrier Envelope (with plate still inside) by washing with disinfectant hand soap and
water. Dry the Barrier Envelope thoroughly.
2. Remove gloves and wash any powder from hands. Powder on a PSP will degrade the image, and
an accumulation of powder in the scanner will lead to degradation of scanner performance.
When using optional transfer box, be sure that the sensitive side of the PSP is
facing down as it lands on the in the box (See View C below). If the plate is
not sensitive side down, TURN IT OVER IMMEDIATELY. Failure to do so may
result in erasure of the PSP.
3. Lay the box on a flat surface near the ScanX as shown by View A below.
4. As shown by View B, remove the exposed PSP from its washed and dried envelope as follows:
a. Hold the enveloped exposed PSP, with the printed side facing up, parallel to and about an inch
above the Transfer Storage Box or some other container or cover.
b. Tear the envelope lengthwise starting at the notch to eject the PSP onto the box or surface.
5. As shown by View C, the PSP is now ready to be scanned to read the image from the PSP by
performing scanning procedures.
