7. Maintaining the Scanner
The scanner is designed for long-term trouble-free operation and rarely
requires any maintenance. Only an occasional cleaning of the scanner
window is necessary in order to remove dirt and fingerprints.
7-1. Cleaning the Scan Window
Wipe the scan window with a soft lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive
cleaner to avoid scratching and damaging the scan window. The scan
window may be cleaned while the scanner is running.
7-2. Replacing the Interface Cable
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin
modular connector. When the connector is properly seated, it is secured
in the scanner handle by a flexible retention tab. The cable is designed
to be field replaceable.
Replacement cables can be obtained from your authorized distributor.
To replace the cable, take the following steps.
1. Make sure that the power of your computer is switched off, and if a
power adapter is used, disconnect it from the scanner cable.
2. Disconnect the old scanner cable from the computer system.
3. Locate the small hole at the bottom of the scanner. (Shown as
indicated)
4. Use a metallic pin and insert into the hole.
5. Gently pull out the interface while pressing down the hole by pin.
The cable should come out.
6. Insert the new interface cable into the bottom of the scanner until it
clicks.
7. Plug the new cable into the host.
8. If a power adapter is used, plug the power adapter into the jack on
the interface cable.
