Figure 6-35 Temperature Sensors
The scanner has several temperature sensors integrated that measure the
temperature at different positions inside the scanner. This screen shows the
temperature of the sensor with the currently most critical value.
If a sensor is within a critical temperature range, just below or above a critical
value, the indicator will be in the yellow area; scanning will still be possible, but
the temperature might have a negative effect on the scan quality. Therefore, it is
recommended to warm or cool down the scanner until the temperature indicator
is within the green area again.
