      Note: This image is a representative example. Actual systems may vary.
  3. Make sure the laser lights are cross-centered on the universal phantom pad and press the landmark button.
    Note: Due to the tight landmarking tolerance, it is important to align the lasers on the cross lines of the universal positioner before setting the sphere.
  4. Press Advance to Scan.
