Applying barrier film

Loss of image data

Image data on the plate will be lost when exposed to light. Transfer the PSP from the Barrier Envelope to the Plate Guide slot quickly. Always keep the sensitive side away from any light source to minimize image loss.

Make sure that the user-supplied imaging software is set to scan, the green control LED on the scanner is lit and the Swift Barrier Film is applied

13.5 Feeding Single Plates.

Refer to Figure 13-3 and process a single plate as follows.

1. Disinfect and Dry the Barrier Envelope (with plate still inside).

2. Hold the plate above the inlet guide with the printed side facing you and the notch of the envelope on the bottom as shown.

3. Tear the envelope lengthwise starting at the bottom notch while lowering the plate into the inlet guide.

4. Press the plate all the way down until the unit takes over and moves the plate on its own.

5. Remove and discard the envelope. The plate will drop into the bottom outlet pad when processing is completed.

6. View and save each scanned image using the user-supplied imaging software.
