Below are the recommended settings for image quality using Schick sensors. The settings themselves are the same between differing Apteryx software, however the method of accessing those settings varies slightly between the XrayVision and the DCV/XVCapture lines.

If you are IT and would like to manage these changes across multiple computers simultaneously, there's some helpful information you can review below to enable that.

NOTE: If the office will be using the legacy Schick Sensors (CDR Phoenix or Pluswire) Apteryx recommends installing the Schick 33 / Elite driver along with either the CDR 2000 or CDR USB Remote HS driver.

DCV/XVCapture:

  1. Launch DCV/XVCapture and select Advanced User Tools
  2. Select Preferences
  3. By default, the User ID is admin and the Password is AKRON
  4. Select Imaging Extensions from the left side towards the bottom, click the red caret (>) next to Digital X-ray Image Capture and select SchickIntraOral Digital X-ray

    Note: If the Image tab does not show up, the drivers on this PC are out of date and need to be updated. The drivers can be retrieved from the manufacturer.

  12. If you are using a Schick AE sensor, verify the below settings on the AE Image tabXVCapture_gL3Y7ho8NM.png
