The Light Tube

Orientation of the Light Tube

Flextight 343 contains a light tube that illuminates your originals while scanning. The light tube is fitted with a reflective sleeve, which must be aligned correctly inside the scanner. The sleeve helps direct the light to achieve maximum illumination of the original. When you replace the light tube, you must make sure the sleeve is aligned correctly.

Sometimes the sleeve is glued into place when the scanner is first shipped from the factory, but when you replace a light tube, the sleeve will not be glued; it will be tight so that it can not slip freely, but you will be able to rotate it manually if you try. The correct orientation of the sleeve is shown in Figure 5.
