The digitizer performs following activities to transport the image plate towards the
(magnetic) slow scan drum:

The drawer motor drives the magnets from home position to docking
position: The sheet metal of the image plate gets attracted by the four
magnets.

The drawer motor drives the image plate onto the magnetic drawer unit
rollers.

The magnetic drawer unit rollers take over the image plate and transport it
towards the slow scan drum.

When the image plate has reached the magnetic slow scan drum, the image
plate is continuously driven by the drum and the drawer unit rollers together.
During this step the barcode is read out.

During this movement additionally the drawer drives back to end position: In this
position it has no contact anymore with the image plate. The IP drawer light
sensor detects the end position.

The slow scan drive changes the direction and transports the image plate back
towards cassette until it nearly leaves the roller.

The slow scan drive changes direction again and speed up the the image plate
for scanning. Thereby the barcode label is read again to detect the position of
the image plate (begin of scan and begin of line).

After recognizing begin of scan signal from barcode and a predefined distance
the image acquisition starts.
