Hand Held Products 5700 manual Maintenance, Cleaning the Scan Window

Maintenance

The Hand-Held Decoded Output Laser Scanner provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks insure dependable scanner operation:

Cleaning the Scan Window

Scanning performance may degrade if the scan window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t scanning well, clean the scan window with a soft cloth or facial tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent– water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean tissue dampened with water only.

The scanner housing may also be cleaned the same way.

!Warning:

Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner’s housing is not

water–tight.

Do not use abrasive wipers or tissues on the scan window: abrasive

wipers may scratch the window.

Never use solvents (alcohol or acetone) on the housing or window:

solvents may damage the finish or the window.

Do not open the scanner. There are no serviceable parts inside.

Inspecting Cords and Connectors

Inspect the scanner’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner operation. Contact your Welch Allyn distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions on page 8–2.

Examining the Scanner Housing

Routinely examine the scanner housing for signs of damage. A damaged housing may cause the internal components to move and may result in a malfunctioning scanner.
