2. Cleaning Dust and dirt impair performance of any optical equipment. Keep the microfilmer clean at all times. Film Unit ❍ Wipe clean of dirt the interior of Take-Up and Supply Rooms and the Lens. After a roll of film has been removed from the Unit, always close the Doors in position and face the Lens downward for storage.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS When any error message occurs in the Microfilmer, an error message appears on the display, the Shutter Button turns red, and microfilm advancing stop. In this case, check the error code (numbers following the letter “E”) and call your authorized Service Representative. Error Code Possible Cause Description...
TROUBLESHOOTING ■ TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Possible Cause Remedy Power is not supplied to microfilmer • Power Cord is not plugged into • Plug the Power Cord into outlet. ❍ even when the Power ON/OFF outlet. Switch is turned ON. Lamps do not come on (including •...
SUPPLEMENT ■ Maintenance the Document Pressure Glass. As a document is being fed, the Document Pressure Glass and the Document Transport Belt became electrostatically changed. This causes a rise in the coefficient of friction. As a result, a document might be transported skewed or might misfeed. If skewed document feeding or an inordinate number of document misfeed occurs, polish the back side of the Document Pressure Glass with metallic car wax.
