Opening the Scanner
To clear a paper jam or to carry out cleaning and maintenance work, it may be necessary to open the
scanner or sporadically to remove covers. All opening options are displayed below in a graphical
overview and their handling clearly explained in the next few chapters.
6.1.
Opening/Closing the Scan Plane
The area with the highest access frequency is the Scan
Plane area. The opening and closing of the Scan Plane
is motorized and is performed by pressing the buttons
Open and Close . These are located in the housing,
in the front left next to the Output Tray. Opening the
Scan Plane is possible in two steps. A short press on the
button Open, raises the scanner upper part up to the
first step. The resulting gap of a few centimeters allows
easy removal of documents from the front scanning area
in case of an feeder error or paper jam. Opening the Scan
Plane to the first step is also possible using the
Open
button that appears in case of some errors (
see chapter
ff
) and as a fuction button (
see chapter
) on the scanner touchscreen. When the button Open
is pressed permanently, the Scan
Plane remains open as long as the button is pressed, or until it reaches its maximum point. To close
the Scan Plane the button Close is pressed held until the Scanner Upper Section rests completely
on the Scanner Lower Section.
