Cleaning The following section is provided to assist in basic cleaning procedures for the Unit. This section is not intended for regular maintenance or repair of the Unit. 9.1 Bar Code Scanner As a general rule, the bar code scanner elements should require very little cleaning. The scanner components are enclosed to minimize effects from the environment. - Page 18 Be very cautious about cleaning pouches like the ones used to clean PC screens. The solution for this type of cleaning pad is typically 50% water and 50% Isopropyl Alcohol and is unacceptable. Use Unimark ATB cleaning cards (P/N 700-5014-000, –200 or equivalent), which are presoaked in a solution of 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.
