locks the cassette containing the image plate in the cassette slot,
•
removes the image plate from the cassette,
•
scans the image plate,
•
converts the information of the latent image to digital data,
• transmits the image data to the preview station,
• erases the image plate and re-inserts it into the cassette,
• gives the image plate ID data the status 'erased',
•
unlocks the cassette,
•
transmits the digital image data to an image processing station
('destination').
The CR 30-X permits assigning the status 'emergency' to an image.
