Dentrix Imaging supports acquiring intraoral images from any Schick intraoral digital X-ray sensor through the Schick TWAIN driver. You must install the Polaroid Digital Imaging sensor drivers on each computer that you use to acquire images prior to any device installs. The Schick TWAIN driver supports most Schick current and legacy model digital x-ray sensors including Schick CDR 2000, Schick Elite, and Schick 33.
Notes:
· You must install the Dentrix Imaging Acquisition Agent on each computer that will acquire images before installing any imaging device.
· If the Schick TWAIN driver is already installed and configured, it is listed in the Intraoral Acquisition Devices list.
