Preventive Maintenance for Scanners

In the

Preventive Maintenance

window, you can read the following information:

Timeline

: the indicator and colored bar at the top of the windows show how

far along you are until you should send your scanner in for preventive
maintenance. When the indicator reaches the yellow or red parts of the bar, the

Preventive Maintenance

window will begin to appear automatically each

time you start to use the scanner.

Warnings

: these appear below the colored bar only when your time is running

out. When the indicator is in the yellow area, a notice is shown. When it is in
the red area, a warning is shown.

Last service date

: this is the date on which the scanner was last serviced.

Scans without feeder

: this is the number of standard scans that you have

taken since the last service.

Scans with feeder

: this is the number of scans that you have taken using the

Batch Feeder and or Slide Feeder since the last service.

You should start to plan to send the scanner in for maintenance when the indicator in
the

Preventive Maintenance

window reaches the yellow area. When it reaches the

red area, you should send the scanner in as soon as possible.
