Figure 4-4 Short Footprint Calculation diagram
A: Cradle Scannable Limitation, the value to be set using Short Footprint function
A(Scannable Range(approx.)) = 643mm(Scan Center Line to Gantry Rear Cover)
+ B(Gantry Rear Cover to Wall) - X(Safety Clearance to prevent hitting cradle to wall).
B: Gantry rear cover to wall, no less than 914 mm (36 in.)
Note: When the length from Gantry rear cover to wall is 914mm, cradle scannable limitation would be
1457mm (Shown in Figure 4-5).

Limited Access.
E: Gantry right side to wall, no less than 914 mm (36 in. ). If Short Footprint is set for a short room
length, bigger gantry side clearance is required to remove Gantry rear cover, or no removal of rear
cover is accepted.

NOTICE It is Suggested that safety clearance from cradle IN-limit to wall should be no less than 100 mm.
