Epson GT-30000 Replacing the Fluorescent Lamp, Transporting the Scanner

Replacing the Fluorescent Lamp

The luminosity of the fluorescent lamp declines over time. If the lamp breaks or becomes too dim to operate normally, the scanner stops working and both the READY and ERROR lights flash. If this happens, the lamp assembly may need to be replaced. Contact EPSON. (See “Where To Get Help” on page 118.)

Never open the case of the scanner. If you think repairs or adjustments are necessary, consult EPSON.

Transporting the Scanner

If you need to transport the scanner or store it for an extended period, you must secure the carriage beforehand. Turn on the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to the home position (the left side). Then turn off the scanner.

Turn the transportation lock to the locked position to secure the carriage.

locked position

If the scanner is inoperable, the carriage may not automatically return to the home position. If it doesn’t, raise the right side of the scanner and hold it up until the carriage comes to rest at the left side. Then turn the transportation lock to the locked position.
