User Manual Warnings and Cautions

CAUTION Approved FDA Class 2 device - Federal law restricts this device to be sold for use by or on
the order of a physician.
CAUTION Make sure that the table can support the weight of the imager [approximately 66.7 kg
(147 lbs) with receive trays and three full supply cassettes installed].
WARNING The imager is heavy. To avoid injury, use two people to unpack and position the imager.
CAUTION Do not scratch or nick the sheet metal. Scratches and nicks in the basement will damage the
printed side of ChromaVista sheets.
CAUTION Make sure that the imager is powered off before connecting the Ethernet cable. For
information about powering the imager on and off, refer to "Powering the Imager On and Off".
CAUTION Do not touch any of the connector pins.
CAUTION If the thermal print head is not parked, power on the imager, then repeat steps 2 and 3 to
properly power off the imager so that it does park.
CAUTION Push the ribbon carriage down slowly. Forcing it down too quickly may damage the
carriage.
CAUTION If the imager is powered off using the POWER key, unprinted queued jobs are saved and
will finish printing once the imager is powered on again (you can purge all jobs). However, if the
imager is powered off using the rocker switch in the back or power is interrupted (for example, an
unexpected power failure), queued jobs may be lost.
WARNING When servicing the imager, always power it off using the POWER key, turn the rocker
switch in the back to the 0 (off) position, then unplug the imager.
CAUTION Use only Codonics media. Do not use plain paper, office transparencies, or other
unapproved media as damage, improper operation, or malfunction may result. For information about
the approved Codonics media types and sizes, and how to order cassettes, refer to "Ordering Media".
CAUTION Do not refill a cassette. Do not tamper with or remove the barcode label. The cassette's
barcode information is essential for ensuring diagnostic image quality. Compromising the cassette in
any way jeopardizes the quality and reliability of the imager.
CAUTION Do not remove or insert a cassette while a sheet is being printed, or you could affect the
image quality of the printed sheet or cause a jam. Always pause the imager first.
CAUTION Do not remove the printed cassette cover; it protects the media from dust and other
contaminants. Always hold and store the cassette with the open side up to prevent the sheets from
falling out.
WARNING With the imager cover open, touch only those internal components that are colored green.
Remove rings, ties, jewelry, and other items, and tie back hair, so that they do not fall into or get caught
in the imager.
CAUTION Used ribbon retains the negative of the color images that were printed using that ribbon. If
you are required to ensure patient confidentiality and privacy, the ribbon should be destroyed.
CAUTION Use caution when changing the imager default settings. Changes could affect prints made
by other users.
CAUTION Changing the default settings will affect prints made by other users. Use caution when
changing default settings. Typically, it is better to specify sheet and image parameter settings from the
DICOM application or a PostScript printer's settings, or use a Job Settings file that contains the values
you need. For information about Job Settings files, refer to the Horizon Imager Technical Manual.
CAUTION If the imager's settings were changed from the factory defaults prior to being shipped (for
example, to accommodate a special OEM configuration), resetting to the factory defaults will not
restore the "as shipped" settings. Instead, they will be reset to the standard factory default values.
