Reading An Image Plate - AGFA CR 35-X User Manual

Reading an image plate

The main function of the CR 35-X is digitizing image plates and transmitting
the digital image data to the preview station and the image processing
station. The actual workflow depends on the configuration of your system.
Reading an image plate in the interchangeable
configuration
In the interchangeable configuration, you must first identify the cassette via
an ID Station with ID Tablet before you can digitize the image plate.
To read an image plate:
1
Make sure the cassette has been identified properly via the ID Station.
2 Check that the CR 35-X is ready for operation:
•
The CR 35-X must display the operator main screen with 'Ready' status, e.g.:
QS not ready
•
The status indicator at the top of the CR 35-X must be green and be lit constantly.
Note: The CR 35-X is operational if the status field equals 'READY', even if
status messages of the destination are shown (e.g. 'QS not ready').
