14-01/02 Light Density Streaks on Film - Reissue
Problem
Light streaks appear down the film, usually around the middle, and most are visible in the mid-tone grays
of the images.
Cause
Dust has collected on the final MIRROR that directs the laser beam to the film.
Solution
1. Make a print of a calibration sheet. A calibration sheet might show the artifact.
2. Remove the OPTICS MODULE from the imager and set it on a TABLE in the same position as when
it is in the imager.
3. Using the OPTICS MODULE CLEANING KIT 74-0401-8238-3, insert the NOZZLE from the
CANISTER into the laser-beam aperture slot of the OPTICS MODULE.
4. Holding the CANISTER upright, spray short bursts while moving the NOZZLE back and forth along
the aperture slot.
Note
Do not touch the MIRROR with the NOZZLE and do not tilt, invert or shake the CANISTER while
spraying air into the opening.
5. Remove the NOZZLE and install the OPTICS MODULE in the imager.
6. Make another print of a calibration sheet.
7. Compare the print with the calibration sheet from Step 1 to check that the light streak has been
removed.
