User's manual
Remote exposure switch
When you take an exposure you must press and hold
down the exposure button for the whole duration of the
exposure. If you remove your finger from the exposure
button before the exposure cycle is completed radia-
tion is interrupted, the rotating unit will stop moving,
the temple supports will open, and an error code will
appear on the main display which is on the control
panel.
The error code must be cleared from the display
before the unit can be used again. See section “14.2
Error codes” on page 40 for information on how to
clear error codes from the display.
The exposure indicator light of the remote exposure
switch will come on when an exposure is taken and
indicates that the unit is generating radiation. If your
switch is equipped with a green ready light, it will come
on when the unit is correctly set up and ready to take
an exposure.
Cassettes
There are two versions of the panoramic film cassette,
the regular version and the Autoprint version. The cas-
sette door swings open from the top to the bottom. The
Autoprint cassette must be used with the Autoprint film
marking system. Be careful when handling and loading
the Autoprint cassette not to damage the printhead
(the small block that slides along the top of the cas-
sette door). Never stack Autoprint cassettes or place
them printhead down on a surface.
NOTE
When the optional Automatic Exposure Con-
trol (AEC) is used, the cassette must be AEC
compatible (indicated with text “AEC COMPAT-
IBLE” in the cassette label).
