Caring for your scanner
This chapter describes how to keep your Horizon Ultra scanner in
perfect working order.
Cleaning the scanner
Cleaning the glass plate regularly will ensure that dirt or smudges do
not reduce the quality of your scanned images.
Before cleaning, switch off the power to the scanner and unplug the
cable.
Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or alcohol to clean the surface
of the glass plate and document board.
❖
Warning: When you use sprays directly onto the glass plate, avoid the
seams around the glass, as this may cause the liquid to penetrate and
contaminate the mirrors and lenses inside the scanner.
❖
Tip: Especially the cleaning around the calibration zone for transparen-
cies is important. Keep this area dust- and dirt-free.
Replacing the reflection scanner lamp
The reflection scanning lamp has a rated lifetime of 1000 hours.
Replacement should preferably be done by your dealer or Agfa service
representative. In case of an emergency, you can replace the lamp as
follows (read also the instructions coming with the lamp):
1. Switch off the scanner and remove the power cable.
2. Remove the glass plate (8 screws) (Figure 3-1).
