How do I reserve a scanner in EXAMINE Pro?

This tells the PSPIX2 to send scanned images to your computer. You must reserve the scanner each time before scanning a plate.

๐Ÿ’ก Top tip: If the scanner is set up in single-user mode, the padlock icon will not appear. In this case, the scanner will always send images to the connected PC without needing to be reserved.

Status icons will be displayed to indicate the progress of the scanner:

  • Yellow plate icon โ€“ Scanner is reserved and ready.

  • Purple plate icon with arrow โ€“ Image is actively being scanned.

    • If the scanner is not connected, check power, cables, and USB connection. If the issue persists, contact Dentally Support.
