1.1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the ScanX
®
Touch or ScanX
®
Duo Touch Image Plate Scanner, the
chair-side imaging device from Air Techniques, a leading manufacturer of dental, medical and veterinary
equipment since 1962. The ScanX
®
Touch processes one imaging plate while ScanX

Duo Touch processes
two at a time. The devices are hereafter referred to as ScanX in this manual. The ScanX is designed to
process intraoral imaging plates only. ScanX has been manufactured using state-of-the-art technology to
give many years of dependable service. See the sections Unpacking and Inspection and Technical Data
for details.
ScanX allows multi room dental clinics to produce digital radiographs within seconds using a flexible
PSP. The workflow is supported by a touch screen, for job handling (ScanManager, Patient information),
preview and stand alone work. ScanX produces the digital diagnostic quality intraoral image by scanning
PSPs, which have been exposed to X-rays. Using software that supports Intelligent Track Control allows
ScanX to be operated by two users at the same time with different patients.
ScanX
can also work independently. If the IT network goes down, the user can still scan and save X-ray
images. The images are temporarily placed in the internal memory and are later transferred to the
office database. This makes the device ideally suited to provide a mobile solution when it is necessary
to visit the patient outside the office.
Additionally, ScanX allows computer storage, processing, retrieval and display of the processed
images utilizing a user supplied software (e.g. DBSWIN) and computer. An additional feature of
ScanX consists of an in-line plate eraser function that removes the latent image from the plate
immediately after scanning. This design provides an efficient one-operation scanning and erasing
process leaving the user with a PSP ready for the next X-ray procedure.
