Cleaning the diffuser [all Advantage models]

If you notice streaks (vertical artifacts) in images, you should clean the
diffuser.

1. Turn off the digitizer.

Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the bulb

cartridge to cool to a comfortable temperature before removing it.

2. Open the door on the side of the digitizer base:

Note:

The door has a “door

open” sensor. When the
door is open, all processes—
including calibration and
scanning—will stop.
