Before attempting to transport your scanner, it is important that you lock the optical assembly in place
to avoid any possible damage to the scanner's optical components. To lock the optical assembly, insert
a coin and turn it until it points to the lock mark.
Test the Scanner
The scanner automatically performs a simple self-test each time it is turned on. This self-test checks
the status of certain scanner devices.
1.
Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
2.
Connect the other end of the power cord to the scanner.
3.
Press the power button located on the front of the scanner to turn the scanner on.
At power-on, the front panel indicators flash once. The power indicator then glows and the ready
indicator blinks. When the test is completed, the power and ready indicators should glow steadily.
Care and Maintenance
Regularly clean the object glass of the scanner and the transparency adapter to prevent dirt or smudge
build-up that may reduce the quality of your scanned images. Before you clean the object glass, make
sure the scanner power is off and the power cord is unplugged.
Clean the object glass of the scanner and the transparency adapter with a soft damp cloth and a mild
detergent or alcohol.
Note: Avoid spraying cleaning fluid directly on the object glass. This may cause the liquid to
penetrate the seams around the glass and contaminate the mirrors and lenses inside the scanner.
Spray the liquid on the cleaning cloth then wipe the glass clean.
Adjacent to the main object glass you will see a small strip of clear glass. This is the calibration
area. If there is dust, dirt, or even part of the transparency covering this area it will negatively
affect the scan quality. (Most commonly causing vertical streaking in the scanned image.)
Do not leave transparencies on the object glass of the scanner for excessive periods of time. The
warmth of the scanner and transparency adapter lamps may cause them to deteriorate. Please, use
the Frame holder to secure the transparencies for scanning.
