5. Note that the process of cleaning the optics will affect the instrument's
sensitivity as dust and powder will no longer block the optical path. It is
essential that the head be fully calibrated following the cleaning process.
6. The exterior of the scanning head and docking station can be wiped
clean with a lint-free cloth dampened in water or a mild cleaner.
Maintenance
1. Replace the five (5) Read Head Pogos if they display any signs of
wear or discoloration.
2. On newer read heads, replace the Paper Stop Push Plate if anodize is
broke or worn through.
SCANNING TRACK
NOTE: DO NOT reverse the intake/exhaust port on the vacuum to blow
out the track vacuum chamber. This will force any dust inside the track into
the read head optics.
NOTE: DO NOT use any solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind.
NOTE: DO NOT use any type of lubrication (oil) on any part of the system.
Cleaning (1 to 2 time a month)
1. The exterior of the docking station can be wiped clean with a lint-free
cloth dampened in water or a mild cleaner.
2. The track can be wiped clean with a lint-free cloth dampened in glass
cleaner. When cleaning the track, make sure to clean the entire track.
This includes the portion of the track that resides under the reading
head when it is in its docked position. You can simply slide the head
over when cleaning is required.
3. Inside of track assembly – use compressed air to remove all print dust.
