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 5 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 35 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 shutdown 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 located at the lower right front of the Imager. The 
Imager will be 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 turn ON the power switch. After warming up, the Imager 
automatically reprints any films that were in process when power was 
interrupted.
