Note:
Only one exposed PSP can be fed into the ScanX at a time. The next PSP may be fed only after all four
track status indicators change from yellow to green.
Scanning and Erasing Plates
Scan and erase an PSP in one operation as follows .
1 . Orient the cassette so that the Tube side is facing down and the hinge is away from you .
2 . Open the cassette and grasp the Plate Protector guide flaps to lift out the Plate Protector enclosed
PSP . Pinch guide flaps between the thumb and index finger to prevent the PSP from sliding out of
the Plate Protector . While minimizing exposure to ambient light, move it to the ScanX inlet with the
sensitive (front) side of PSP towards the ScanX .
3 . As shown by Figure 10, position the Plate Protector containing the PSP against the curved inlet,
surface and hold it flush against the scanner inlet . A Plate Protector containing an exposed PSP
narrower than 14 inches may be centered on the scanner inlet, making sure that it is aligned .

4 . Gently slide the PSP and Protector assembly into the scanning slot until the Protector is stopped by
both guide flaps resting on the inlet ring which further aids in alignment .
5 . At this point, all four track lights will turn yellow, indicating the PSP has been sensed and the
Scanner is transporting the PSP .
6 . Observe that a red glow emanates from the scanner exit slot .
7 . Repeat steps 1 through 6 to process additional PSPs as necessary . Another PSP may be fed into the ScanX
when all four track indicator lights illuminate green .
8 . Observe that the scanned PSP exits through the scanner arch . Since the ScanX default operation
mode is with the erase mode enabled (blue LED indicator below the ERASER switch is illuminated),
the PSP is erased and ready for reuse for a new image .
9 . Observe that all transport status indicators illuminate green and the red glow from the exit slot extinguishes
after the last PSP exits .
10 . Retrieve the processed (scanned and erased) PSP for reuse or storage . Make sure not to
scratch the sensitive surface or nick the edges when removing from the scanner outlet .
11 . View and save the image using features of the user-supplied authorized Imaging Software .
