8-2 Operation
8-2-1 Vertical Positioning
The Bucky/Stationary grid cabinet is held in vertical position by Electro-
mechanical locks.
By operating the vertical lock handle (located on both left and right side of the
Bucky carriage) the Electro-mechanical locks can be released and the carriage
can be moved up and down, for infinite vertical positioning within its travel range.
Note:
The Electro-mechanical lock of wall stand is a Power Off Protection Lock.
The lock is negative without power on.
8-2-2 Cassette Loading
This wall stand is equipped with cassette tray which is inserted into the Bucky tray
slot.
1. To insert a cassette, pull the tray out of the Bucky to the tray stop.
2. Insert the shelf (See Illustration 5-2) in the centering scale slots that
correspond to the cassette size selected.
3. Lift the clamping lock handle to unlock it.
4. Slide the clamping apart to insert a cassette on the shelf. Clamp and center
the cassette transversely on the tray.
5. Push the clamping lock against the cassette and lock it by pressing down the
lock handle.
6. Push the cassette tray all the way into the Bucky.
Note: If select “Wall Stand” as the image receptor on System Console (refer to
section “5-3-1 Technique Selection” in Chapter 5) when taking exposure
either with or without AEC, the cassette tray must be inserted all the way
into the Wall Stand Bucky. If the cassette tray is not inserted all the way
into the Bucky, the exposure will be prohibited either with or without AEC.
Note:
To prevent damage to the cassette clamps locking assembly always close it
prior to inserting (pushing) the cassette tray into the Bucky.

Normally the cassette tray does not have to be completely removed from
the Bucky in order to load a cassette. Cassette may be inserted in the tray
by pulling the tray until movement is stopped by the catch on the lower rear
of the tray.

until it is stopped by the catch, then press the catch against the tray bottom
and hold it while sliding the tray out.
