CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Clearing image plate jams
The CR 85-X always reads and digitizes the plate first, then erases it and feeds
it to the output buffer. If a plate jam occurs before the plate is scanned, there
is a fair chance that you can recover the image by putting the image plate back
into the cassette and digitizing it again. While handling the image plate,
prevent exposing it to daylight as much as possible.
The diagram below shows the possible locations of a jammed image plate and
the probable status of the image.
Status Action

Plate jam in the post-scan unit. Image is

Station.
