Chapter 2 — Installing the scanner

Precautions
For your own safety and that of your equipment, respect conscientiously the environmental
requirements (see the above section) and always take the following precautions:
Caution:
For the reason of safety, besides the personal maintenance mentioned in this owner's guide, don’t
try to remove any mechanical parts or any electronic devices. If your scanner needs servicing, our dealer and
service offices are available to help you.
■
Handle your DuoScan with care: its glass plates are fragile. There is no warranty on breaking the
glass plates and your dealer is not liable for the consequential damages.
■
Frequently check that there is no overheating of the power plug and that the power plug is
pushed all the way into the socket.
■
Switch the machine off at the end of your working day or during power failure.
■
Disconnect the power plug when you want to clean the reflective glass plate and when the
scanner needs servicing.
■
Do not open the scanner housing as it contains high voltage areas and sensitive components.
Any corrective maintenance should be carried out by your dealer or Agfa service
representative.
■
Do not leave originals on the reflective glass plate or on the slide holder frame for excessive
periods of time. The warmth of the scanner may cause them to deteriorate.
■
Make sure that the originals are properly attached on the glass plate, otherwise you might loose
them in the scanner.
■
To avoid crashes, never use extension cables for SCSI cables.
■
For safety reasons, never use extension cables for power cables.
Cleaning your scanner
■
In order to maintain the quality of your scanned images, regularly clean both glass plates (the
reflective glass plate and the universal glass frame).
■
Before cleaning, switch off the power to the scanner and unplug the cable.
■
Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or alcohol to clean the surface of the glass plate.
■
When you use sprays directly onto the glass plate, avoid the seams around the glass, as this
may cause the liquid to penetrate and contaminate the mirrors and lenses inside the scanner.
Do not use detergent on the plastic parts of your scanner.
■
The cleaning of the calibration slit in the transparency holder frame is especially important.
Keep this area dust- and dirt-free.
