Using and Maintaining the Imager
Power ON IMPORTANT: After the initial startup of the Imager, the power button on
the local panel should be used to power ON and power
OFF the Imager.
If this is the first time the Imager has been powered ON, set the power
switch to the "|" (ON) position and press the power button on the local
panel. The Imager performs a power-up self test that takes about five
minutes. After the self test, there are some initial boot-up screens before
the local panel Main Screen appears.
After the power-up test, the Imager begins a warm-up period that can last
up to 30 minutes. The warm-up period varies depending on how long the
Imager has been turned OFF, the ambient temperature, and whether the
Imager is in power save mode. During warm-up, the Imager can receive
and store images but cannot print films. When the Imager reaches
operating temperature, it starts printing any images accumulated during
the warm-up period.
During warm-up, you can use the touch screen to check the contents of
the film drawers and to open the film drawers to load new film cartridges
if necessary.
Normal Power OFF IMPORTANT: The local panel should be used to turn OFF power to the
imager, except in an emergency. Using the main power
switch could cause the imager to shut down incorrectly
and possibly cause some corruption of the operating
system.
Turn the Imager OFF if you do not expect to use it for an extended
period of time.
1. On the local panel, press the power button.
2. On the touch screen, touch:
• Power OFF
• OK
All films in process will be completed before the Imager does a
controlled shutdown (similar to a computer shutdown).
Emergency Power OFF If an emergency arises that requires the immediate shutdown of the
Imager, press the power switch "O" (OFF) at the lower right front of the
Imager. The Imager will shut down. Films in process will not be
completed and will remain where they are until removed (see
“Correcting Film Jams With the Imager Powered OFF” on page 3-2).
To restart the Imager, press the power switch "|" (ON). After warming
up, the Imager automatically reprints any films that were in process
when power was interrupted.
