Replacing the transparency lamp
The transparency lamp has a rated lifetime of 300 hours. Replacement
should preferably be done by your dealer or Agfa service
representative. In case of an emergency, you can replace the lamp as
follows (read also the instructions coming with the lamp):
1. Switch off the scanner and remove the power cable.
2. Turn loose the screws that fasten the lamp hood (Figure 3-4).
3. Remove the lamp hood.
4. Remove the small plate that holds the lamp in place
(Figure 3-5).
Warning: If you have operated the scanner just before replacing the lamp,
this plate is very hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
5. Remove the lamp by holding the wires on both sides of the
lamp (Figure 3-6).
