Maintenance Procedures
ScanX is designed for many years of trouble-free operation . Maintenance as described herein is minimal .
IMPORTANT:
Cleaning the ScanX
Turn off ScanX, disconnect the line cord from the Mains wall outlet and disconnect the computer
connection cable from ScanX before cleaning . Wipe the outside surfaces with a soft paper towel
dampened with a disinfectant solution or non-abrasive household cleaner . Be careful not to allow
solvents TO RUN OR DRIP into the ScanX . This could cause damage to the ScanX . Allow to air dry
before plugging in or turning back on .
Cleaning the Plate Transport
Over time, small debris and dust can accumulate in the plate transport mechanism causing a loss
in image quality and possible damage to the PSPs .
To ensure optimal performance of the ScanX, the plate transport should be cleaned at least once
per week using a new ScanX Cleaning Sheet each time . Sample sheets are included with ScanX and
additional sheets can be purchased from your dealer .
Phosphor Storage Plates (PSPs)
PSP's are subject to "wear" on the black side during normal handling and use . They can appear scratched,
while the sensitive grey or white side remains relatively "smooth" . This scratched look on the black side
has absolutely no effect on the quality of the image and should be expected under normal conditions . If
the phosphor side is scratched make sure the plates are being handled properly and not being dragged
from ScanX tray area or other surfaces that could cause scratching of the plate . Make sure to review the
Plate Care and Preparation information provided on pages 15 thru 17 of this manual .
Like all precision products, ScanX requires a certain amount of care on a regularly scheduled basis . A
well-organized maintenance program aids dependable equipment operation and reduces problems to
a minimum . Routine checks help to detect general overall wear, and replacement of parts can often be
made before a problem occurs . Adherence to the maintenance schedule will ensure that ScanX will
continue performing at its best with uninterrupted service .
Understanding this, we have established two basic maintenance kits that will help insure continuous
operation of the device . The kits and their associated parts number along with the recommended
performance schedule are listed below .
IMPORTANT:
All service requiring access to the interior of the ScanX unit must be performed only by an
authorized dealer service technician with the proper training.
