Abstract
A processor for developing latent images on a photosensitive material includes at least one processing station wherein a processing solution engages the photosensitive material, and a drying station at which the photosensitive material is dried, means for initiating a plurality of diagnostic tests for activating components of the processor, a controller coupled to the components of the processor for selectively activating one or more of the components according to a selected one of a plurality of predetermined diagnostic tests, a plurality of switches connected to the controller for selecting from among the plurality of diagnostic tests, and an initiator for starting the selected test a predetermined time after the switches are set.
