Warranty
Each Colortrac Scanner starts its warranty period when first shipped from Colortrac to the
purchasing Distributor. Non-consumable parts that fail within the warranty period without
inappropriate influence or action will be replaced free of charge.
Distributors are required to identify faulty parts. To help identify faults quickly it is
recommended that Distributors hold spare parts. Parts that are replaced under warranty
must be returned to Colortrac using the address at the front of this manual.
When a Distributor requests a warranty replacement, Colortrac Technical Support will
issue them an RMA reference number. The warranty replacement is dispatched once
Colortrac receives the defective part. In exceptional cases, Colortrac may agree to send
a warranty replacement before the defective part has been received.
