4. Cleaning the REGIUS Plate
Dust may accumulate on the fluorescent surface of the REGIUS Plate, and may
result in a defective image. To avoid such trouble, try to keep the cassette clean, and
clean the REGIUS Plate once a week.
Cleaning should be carried out on a level surface where it is not exposed to the
direct light. Take care to avoid damage to either the cassette or the REGIUS Plate.
