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 including its hard rubber rollers, sprocket wheels and
skid plate.
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. Apply
warm, soapy water to the rollers 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.
If the PTRs are becoming hard to remove or install, apply a thin layer of silicon grease to the
inside of the O rings. This will help maintain lubrication so they are easier to remove for cleaning.
To clean the particle transfer rollers, simply remove the O-ring
at the end of each PTR spindle and slide off the roller.
NOTE If you find your particle transfer rollers losing stickiness even after washing,
or have become difficult to mount and remove through age, wear and tear, you can
purchase new rollers from the Blackmagic Design website at 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.
When dusting, it's worth paying special attention to the small plastic infill on your scanner's skid
plate. Dust buildup in this area can effect stabilization performance, so from time to time it's
worth wiping this down with a damp cloth.
