how do I... maintenance procedures

1. Turn the scanner power off.

2. Disconnect the scanner power cable.

3. Open the scanner cover.

Place your fingers just inside the insertion slot and flip the cover upwards to expose the scan area.

4. Remove the pressure platen.

Press down on the platen as you pull the left and right sliders towards the scanner's center until the metal safety buttons on each side of the scanner, pop up.

5. Use the two handles to lift out the pressure platen as soon as you feel the sliders disengage.

6. Gently wipe the glass plate.

Caution: do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene or fluids that contain these chemicals. Do not spray liquids directly onto the scanner glass plate or anywhere else in the scanner.

1. Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth and a mild, streak-free, glass cleaner.

1. Dry the glass completely using a separate clean, dry lint-free cloth like the one provided with the maintenance kit.

The white scanning area background platen is on the backside of the pressure platen you removed.

7. Turn the pressure platen, that was removed in step 4, upside down.

8. Clean the white platen.

Caution: do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene or fluids that contain these chemicals.

1. Wipe the white metal area with a lint-free cloth and a mild, streak-free, glass cleaner.

9. Clean the platen rollers.

Caution: do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene or fluids that contain these chemicals.

1. Wipe the rollers with a lint-free cloth and a mild, streak-free, glass cleaner.

10. Dry the platen and rollers completely using a separate clean, dry lint-free cloth.

1. Press down on the metal safety buttons to let the two sliders move back and lock the platen into place.

12. Close the scanner cover.

Now continue with the Camera alignment and calibration procedure.

Before you align and calibrate the cameras, make sure that you have gone through the first process in scanner maintenance: cleaning the scan area. An unclean scanning area will give you imprecise calibration results.

Camera alignment and calibration is a fully automatic process that you only need to activate through the wizard and then leave to run on its own.

1. Connect the scanner power cable.

2. Power ON the scanner.

The scanner should be warm. Make sure that the scanner has been turned on for at least one hour prior to camera alignment and calibration. Slight light intensity changes and camera shifting can occur just after turning the scanner on and the warm-up time will ensure that light conditions and camera heights have stabilized.

3. Select the Setup tab.

4. Press the Scan Options button.

5. Press the Scanner Maintenance button to start the Scanner Maintenance wizard.

The maintenance wizard will guide you step by step through the whole maintenance process: Camera Alignment, Stitching, and Calibration.

6. Insert the Maintenance Sheet that came with your system.

The wizard will ask you to insert the Maintenance Sheet that came with your scanner. The sheet's printed side must be inserted face down. Align the midpoint arrow with the scanner's midpoint arrow and feed the sheet into the scanner.

7. When maintenance is completed, remove the Maintenance Sheet from the scanner and return it to its protective cover and then place it in the storage folder. Store the folder in a dry place and out of direct light.
