Maintaining the Equipment

Cleaning the Light Bar

If artifacts appear on your scanned images, clean the light bar.

IMPORTANT: Wear white cotton gloves for this procedure to prevent oils and dirt from being absorbed into the microfiber cleaning cloth.

1.Fold a dry, untreated microfiber cleaning cloth so the edge of the cloth is about the thickness of the light bar.

NOTE: You can use an e-wipe, manufactured by Photographic Solutions, Inc., instead of a microfiber cleaning cloth.

2.Gently move the edge of the microfiber cloth or e-wipedown the length of the light bar one time.

3.Calibrate the scanner.

4.If an artifact remains after cleaning the light bar, check the light bar with a magnifying glass for damage, such as a scratch or a chip. If there is damage to the light bar, contact your Kodak representative for service.
