Figure 32 Cleaning the Mirrors
Once a week, inspect the mirrors for smudges, dirt, and dust. Clean the
mirrors when necessary.
IMPORTANT: When cleaning the four mirrors in the microfilmer's optical
system, do not remove or move the mirrors while
cleaning.
1. Turn off the microfilmer.
2. Lift the cabinet cover.
3. Press the upper transport latch to the left; then, lift up the upper
transport (See Figure 30).
4. The effective surfaces of the front 45° mirror and one rear 45° mirror
face the left side of the machine. Examine these surfaces for lint,
dust, and fingerprints. If necessary, clean the mirrors with a soft,
clean, lint-free cloth.
For a more thorough cleaning, dampen the cloth with a little lens
cleaner or use lens cleaning paper. Wipe gently until dry.
5. The other rear 45° mirror and the lens mirror may also need cleaning.
Clean the surfaces of these two mirrors with a soft, clean, lint-free
cloth whenever any of the other mirrors are being cleaned.
6. After gently cleaning the mirrors, verify that they are still clipped into
position against their adjustment screws.
7. Lower the upper transport and close the cabinet cover.
