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

barcode information is essential for ensuring diagnostic image quality. Compromising the cassette in
any way jeopardizes the quality and reliability of the imager.
