error. The Error Message screen includes an Open Door button that will
force the door open even though the film cartridge remains open.
Opening the Front Door
Manually
If the Imager power is OFF or if opening the front door from the Local Panel
fails, you can use the manual latch to open the front door.
NOTE: If you open the door manually, the film cartridge does not close
automatically. You will have to close the cartridge manually if it is
open. Several sheets of film at the top of the cartridge will be
exposed (fogged) and should be discarded. Removal of exposed
films and resealing of a cartridge should be done in a dark room.
To manually open the front door:
1. To minimize film exposure, make the room as dark as possible.
2. Raise the hood. See “Opening the Hood” on page 2-51.
3. Insert a small-diameter screwdriver or similar item into the Door
Open Slot and press down.
The door will unlatch.
