A system and method for assembling a fuel tank is disclosed. The techniques described herein can in certain instances enable fast and efficient recovery, even in scenarios where at the time of a failure requiring such a recovery the live log is potentially multiple terabytes or larger in size. The type of the flat panel x-ray detector currently retained by the detector holder can be automatically detected and used by the data processor that processed output signals from the currently-employed flat panel x-ray detector. This is particularly advantageous in printing systems that include fax capability, since fax messages that cannot be printed may be lost.
