Description of the Image Plate Run

This section describes the Image Plate (IP) run of the digitizer for a default scan cycle.
Overview of the main steps:

The user inserts the cassette.

The cassette detection light sensor detects the cassette: The IP drawer pulls
out the image plate towards the drum with four magnets and the magnetic IP
drawer roller.

The laser beam is switched on to read the bar code and the position of the label
on the image plate carrier.

The magnetic slow scan drum drives the image plate during scan. The IP
detection light sensor detects the image plate.

When the slow scan motor has reached the required number of motor steps, it
changes direction: The image plate is transported back.

The erasure unit erases the Image Plate during its movement back into the
cassette.

The last few centimeters of the way back, the IP drawer module drives the
image plate into the cassette.

The green status LED indicates the user to remove the cassette. When taking
out the cassette, it is closed again.
