After extensive use, dust or lint particles may build up on the Auto-Feed Roller and
Suction Cups, and they must be cleaned to maintain reliable film feeding. VIDAR
recommends cleaning the Auto-Feed Roller and Suction Cups at least twice per year.
During cleaning, inspect the Suction Cups for wear.
1. Turn off the digitizer using the switch on the rear panel.
2. Remove the Film Guide from the feeder by loosening four screws. Loosen each screw
a few turns, then move to the next screw. Repeat until the Film Guide is freed from the
feeder.
Note: The screws are captive, but will come entirely out if
unscrewed too far, and could then fall into the digitizer base.
Be careful not to unscrew them from their captive locations.
Removal of screws or other items from the inside of the digitizer
is not covered under your warranty.
3. Remove residue from the Auto-Feed Roller: Loop a piece of light adhesive tape (such
as Scotch® Magic™ Tape) around your fingers with the adhesive side out, then gently
pat the roller. Pat and turn the roller until its entire surface is clean.
4. Gently pull the Suction Cups forward.
5. Examine the Suction Cups. If you see cracks or irregularities, you should replace the
Suction Cups to prevent film feeding problems. Replacement Suction Cups (p/n
16272-00X) can be ordered from VIDAR.
