The Erase Button
Press the erase button
to start the erasing cycle of an image plate.
After pressing the erase button, the upper part of the status indicator is continuously lighting
up in blue and the CRxFlex starts erasing the imaging plate of the cassette inserted next. If
no cassette with imaging plate has been inserted after 60 seconds, the system automatically
returns to standby mode.
For more information, refer to section “Re-erasing an Image Plate” on page 35.
The Status Indicator
The indicator informs the user by light signals about the status of the CRxFlex. It is
positioned at the front of the CRxFlex, so that it is visible from a distance.
The indicator is divided in two parts. The upper part is used to inform
the operator about the image plate erasing cycle progress and is
only then lit. The lower part is used for all other operational
indications.
