Maintenance

Insert a new glass plate –
lower a new glass plate into the scanner
1. Pick up the new glass plate in the same manner as you removed the old one - with two
hands holding the glass on each end so you avoid touching the glass surface.
2.
Take special care
to avoid touching the glass plate’s bottom surface which normally
will not be cleaned during maintenance.
3. Stand at the front of the scanner as you hold the glass.
4. Make sure you hold the glass for insertion with the correct surface facing down. Note
the direction of the facetted edges that indicate which is the bottom surface of the
glass. See the illustration of the glass plate’s profile below.
5. Hold the glass so that the bottom side surface faces your body as indicated in the glass
plate’s profile view below.
6. Lower the new glass plate into the scanner at an angle, as shown in the glass plate’s
profile view below, so that the glass’s lower edge meets the scanner’s bottom position
groove (see next step).
CAUTION
: The glass plate is long and thin and thus fragile. Take care not to break it.
