Changing the image plate type (Dedicated
configuration only)
If you use new generation Centricity™ CR compatible phosphor plates, the
cassettes containing the plates must first be initialized. The new generation of
plates can be identified by the plate type and the initializing code printed on the
back (e.g. MD 30 19).
If you purchased cassettes already containing Centricity™ CR compatible
phosphor plates, the cassettes are ready for use. If you purchased
Centricity™ CR compatible phosphor plates or cassettes separately, the
cassettes must be initialized first.
In the dedicated configuration, you can initialize cassettes via the Centricity™
SP1001.
To initialize a cassette:
1 Check that the Centricity™ SP1001 is ready for operation:
• the Centricity™ SP1001 must display the operator main screen with ‘Ready’
status, e.g.:
• the status indicator at the top of the Centricity™ SP1001 must be green and be lit
constantly.
❖
The Centricity™ SP1001 is operational if the status field equals ‘READY’,
even if status messages of the destination are shown (e.g. ‘QS not ready’).
2 In the ID Software on the ID Station, select the mode for initializing cassettes.
Refer to the User manual of the ID Software.
The display of the Centricity™ SP1001 will read:
QS not ready READY
