Operation
Loss of Image Data
Image data on the plate will be lost when exposed to light. Transfer the PSP
from the transfer box to the inlet guide slot quickly. Always keep the sensitive
side away from any light source to minimize image loss.
Make sure that the user-supplied imaging software is set to scan and the
green control LED on the scanner is lit .
12.4 Scanning multiple plates.
Scan and erase a plate as follows.
1. Carefully open the Plate Transfer Box.
2. Grasp a plate by the edges between the thumb and index finger.
3. With the printed side facing you, carefully and quickly insert the plate into the inlet guide slot as
far as possible as shown by ‘Plate Feeding and Scanning’ View A.
4. Immediately press the plate all the way down until the transport mechanism takes over and
moves the plate on its own as shown by View B.
5. Observe that the plate drops onto the bottom outlet pad of the scanner as shown by View C.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to process additional plates as necessary.
7. 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.
8. View and save each scanned image using the user-supplied imaging software.
Erasing the image plate:
The image data is erased automatically after scanning.
If you do not want the image data to be erased, this function can be
disabled for the current scanning process by selecting
Disable Eraser on
the touch screen of the unit.
12.5 Erasing the image data.
After scanning the plate passes automatically through the erasure unit. Image data still held on the plate
will be erased. Afterwards the plate falls into the outlet pad.
Special erase mode. The plate must be erased again if:

The plate has been stored and not used for longer than 24 hours.

The data on the plate has not been (completely) erased due to a malfunction of the
ScanX.
The special Erase mode enables the erasure unit in ScanX to be
activated alone. No image data will be transmitted to the software.
To erase again:
Choose the special Erase mode in the software and feed the plate.
