Replacement
procedures
Replacement procedures should be performed on an as- needed basis.
Components that need periodic replacement include the air filter , film
cassette battery, DSA lamps, exposure lamps and imaging guides .
Replacing the air filter
The air filter should be replaced at least once a year, more often if
needed.
IMPORTANT:
Never operate the scanner/microimager without an air
filter installed. The imaging apparatus will quickly
become contaminated with dust and dirt, impairing
image quality.
1. Remove the air filter cover by pressing in on the top of the cover to
release the catch.
