CAUTION
Do not remove or insert a cassette while a sheet is being printed, or you could affect the
image quality of the printed sheet or cause a jam. Always pause the imager first.
CAUTION
Do not remove the printed cassette cover; it protects the media from dust and other
contaminants. Always hold and store the cassette with the open side up to prevent the sheets from
falling out.
WARNING
With the imager cover open, touch only those internal components that are colored green.
Remove rings, ties, jewelry, and other items, and tie back hair, so that they do not fall into or get caught
in the imager.
CAUTION
Used ribbon retains the negative of the color images that were printed using that ribbon. If
you are required to ensure patient confidentiality and privacy, the ribbon should be destroyed.
CAUTION
Use caution when changing the imager default settings. Changes could affect prints made
by other users.
CAUTION
Changing the default settings will affect prints made by other users. Use caution when
changing default settings. Typically, it is better to specify sheet and image parameter settings from the
DICOM application or a PostScript printer’s settings, or use a Job Settings file that contains the values
you need. For information about Job Settings files, refer to the
Horizon Imager Technical Manual
.
CAUTION
If the imager’s settings were changed from the factory defaults
prior to being shipped (for
example, to accommodate a special OEM configuration), resetting to the factory defaults will not
restore the “as shipped” settings. In
stead, they will be reset to the standard factory default values.
CAUTION
Resetting to the factory defaults will affect prints made by other users. Use caution when
changing default settings. Typically, it is better to specify sheet and image parameter settings from the
DICOM application or a PostScript printer’s settings, or use a Job Settings file that contains the values
you need. For information about Job Settings files, refer to the
Horizon Imager Technical Manual
.
CAUTION
Changing the imager’s Default
Media and Default User Settings could affect subsequent
prints made by other users. Use caution when changing default settings.
CAUTION
Changing the imager’s Default Media and Default User Settings could affect subsequent
prints made by other users. Use caution when changing default settings.
WARNING
With the imager cover open, touch only those internal components that are colored green.
Remove rings, ties, jewelry, and other items, and tie back hair, so that they do not fall into or get caught
in the imager.
WARNING
The thermal print head may be hot.
WARNING
When cleaning the print head, avoid the extreme ends of the print head, which are sharp.
CAUTION
Use only the print head cleaning wipe when cleaning the thermal print head. Also, do not
touch the glass surface of the thermal print head with your fingers; it could damage the print head. To
avoid touching the glass surface, you may want to wear gloves when cleaning the thermal print head.
CAUTION
The thermal print head must be completely dry before attempting to use the imager.
Allowing the thermal print head to heat up again while still wet will damage the thermal print head.
WARNING
With the imager cover open, touch only those internal components that are colored green.
Remove rings, ties, jewelry, and other items, and tie back hair, so that they do not fall into or get caught
in the imager.
CAUTION
Use only the platen roller cleaning wipe when cleaning the platen. The platen roller could
be damaged if you use the print head cleaning wipe.
WARNING
With the receive trays removed, touch only those internal components that are colored
green. Remove rings, ties, jewelry, and other items, and tie back hair, so that they do not fall into or get
caught in the imager.
CAUTION
Use only the platen roller cleaning wipe when cleaning the pick tires. The tires could be
damaged if you use the print head cleaning wipe.
CAUTION
Do not touch the pick tires (which may be white or green); body oils from your fingers are
hard to remove and could eventually damage the tires.
