Foreword
Thank you for purchasing the FUJIFILM FCR XG-1.
The FUJI Computed Radiography FCR XG-1 performs Digital Radiography by using an Imag-
ing Plate (IP) as the X-ray detection device. It reads and processes X-ray image information
that is recorded on an exposed IP using a cassette-type X-ray stand and can also print out
hard copies on film.
The "FUJIFILM FCR XG-1 Operation Manual" (this manual, hereinafter) describes in detail
operation methods and usage precautions so that FCR XG-1 functions can be used correctly
and more efficiently.
First-time users of this system should first read this manual thoroughly and then store it near
the device and refer to it regularly for optimum use of the system.
