The Light Tube
Orientation of the Light Tube
Flextight 343 contains a light tube that illuminates your originals while
scanning. The light tube is fitted with a reflective sleeve, which must be
aligned correctly inside the scanner. The sleeve helps direct the light to
achieve maximum illumination of the original. When you replace the
light tube, you must make sure the sleeve is aligned correctly.
Sometimes the sleeve is glued into place when the scanner is first
shipped from the factory, but when you replace a light tube, the sleeve
will not be glued; it will be tight so that it can not slip freely, but you will
be able to rotate it manually if you try. The correct orientation of the
sleeve is shown in Figure 5.
