Scanning Track Cleaning (1 To 2 Times A Month) - X-Rite Set Up And Operation Manual

6. Being careful to hold the compressed air source upright, blow short, gentle bursts of
compressed air directly into the instrument's aperture. Be careful to ensure the
compressed air nozzle is approximately 10 mm away from the optics.
7. Carefully lower the scanning head and lock into place by rotating the lever 90°
counterclockwise.
8. Lower the access cover and plug in the AC adapter.
9. Note that the process of cleaning the optics will affect the instrument's sensitivity as
dust and powder will no longer block the optical path. It is essential that a head and
track calibration is done following the cleaning process.
10. The exterior of the scanning head and docking station can be wiped clean with a lint-free
cloth dampened in water or a mild cleaner.

Scanning Track Cleaning (1 to 2 times a month)

DO NOT reverse the intake/exhaust port on the vacuum pump to blow out the track
vacuum chamber. This will force any dust inside the track into the read head optics.
DO NOT use any solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind.
DO NOT use any type of lubrication (oil) on any part of the system.
1. The exterior of the scanning head and docking station can be wiped clean with a lint-free
cloth dampened in water or a mild cleaner.
2. The track should be wiped clean with a lint-free cloth dampened in glass cleaner. When
cleaning the track, make sure to clean the entire track. This includes the portion of the
track that resides under the reading head when it is in its docked position. You can lift
the scanning head (Scanning Head Cleaning for procedure) or simply slide it over when
cleaning is required.
3. Inside the track, use compressed air to remove all print dust.
