Caring for Your Scanner
Storing the Scanner
When not using the scanner, turn it off, remove any adapters from the adapter slot, and slide the cover
closed as shown below.
If you will not be using the scanner for an extended period, turn off and unplug the scanner. Store the
scanner where:
• the temperature is between minus twenty and plus sixty degrees Centigrade (–4
°
F – +140
°
F)
• the humidity is between twenty and ninety percent (no condensation)
Servicing Your Scanner
Your scanner is a precision machine. We recommend that you take your scanner and adapters to an
authorized Nikon service representative once every one to two years for inspection, and once every
three to five years for servicing (a fee is charged for these services). Frequent inspection and servicing
are particularly recommended in the case of scanners used in commercial applications.
When not using the scanner, remove any adapters and close the cover to prevent dust from accumu-
lating inside the scanner. Accumulation of dust on the optical mirrors in the vicinity of the adapter slot
could result in scanning errors. Should an error occur, remove dust by sending air into the adapter slot
with a blower. Do not insert your fingers into the adapter slot.
