Replacing the lamps
REPLACING THE VIEWING LAMPS AND REFLECTION LAMPS
The viewing lamps and reflection lamps are located below the scanner bed.
These lamps rarely need to be replaced, and if they do, replacement should
be carried out by an authorized ScanView support technician. Please call
your local ScanView dealer for service.
REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION LAMP
The transmission lamp is a thin fluorescent tube located in the lid of the
scanner. It can be replaced when necessary using the following procedure.
WARNING:
If the scanner has been running, the lamp may be very hot.
Wait a few minutes until the lamp has cooled before trying to change it.
1 • Switch off the scanner and unplug the power cable.
2 • Lift the lid of the scanner. Insert the 2.5-mm Allen key (supplied with
the replacement lamp kit) through the small holes in the lamp shield
to fully loosen the four Allen screws that hold the shield in place.
The screws have lock washers on the underside, so they
will not fall out when loosened. To avoid losing any of
the washers, however, loosen all the screws partially
before loosening any one screw all the way.
3 • Remove the shield by pulling it slightly outwards at the bottom.
4 • To remove the lamp/reflector unit, gently squeeze it at both ends (see
illustration) to disengage the holes in the reflector from the four small
pins in the scanner lid assembly. Then pull it outwards bottom end first.
The old lamp/reflector unit can be discarded.
• NOTE
that the thermal paste on the small block behind
the lamp unit is normal and should
no
t be wiped off.
