Using Cintel

Standby Mode

When inactive, your scanner will enter standby mode to
preserve the longevity of the light source. This happens
after 15 minutes when connected via Thunderbolt, or 1.5
minutes when not connected. Your scanner will signal that
it is entering standby mode by flashing the light source green.

Servicing

To ensure optimal scan quality, it is important to keep your
scanner clean and dust free. This is easily done by regularly
cleaning the particle transfer rollers and using an air duster
to clean the rest of your scanner's contact surfaces.
Cleaning the particle transfer rollers
Cleaning the particle transfer rollers, or PTRs, should be
done after every film run. To clean the rollers, simply remove
the O-ring at the end of each PTR spindle and slide off the
roller. Wash the rollers in warm, soapy water using household
dishwashing detergent and allow them to air dry. We don't
recommend towel or blow drying as this can deposit new
particles on the rollers or heat deform them. Once dry,
simply slide the rollers and O-ring back on and you're
ready to scan.
You can easily bring your scanner out of standby mode by
initiating any movement of the feeding or taking spool,
by manually moving the spools, for instance, pressing
'load' or so on.
If you find your particle transfer rollers losing stickiness
even after washing, or difficult to mount and remove, you
can purchase new rollers from the Blackmagic Design
website www.blackmagicdesign.com
Dusting
Dusting your scanner should be performed daily. This is
as easy as using an air duster to remove any particles from
your scanner's skid plate, sprocket wheels and any other
film contact surface. This is best performed with the skid
plate removed.
You may occasionally wish to clean the lens over your
scanner's RGB light source. This can be done with a clean
cloth and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol.
Both air dusters and isopropyl alcohol are available at
most electronics stores.
