The image is too light when the receptor is underexposed.The image is too dark when the receptor is overexposed.A cone-cut occurs when the PID (position-indicating device)was not properly aligned with the periapical receptor holder.Depending on the machine,failure to depress the exposure button for a sufficient amount of time may or may not affect the receptor.On some machines the exposure time would be decreased which would result in an image that is too light.
