Epson GT-5500 Transporting the Scanner

Replacing the fluorescent lamps

The luminosity of the fluorescent lamps declines over time. If

the lamps break or become too dim to operate normally, the

scanner stops working and both the READY and ERROR lights

flash. When this happens, the lamp assembly must be replaced.

For details, contact your dealer.

cCaution:

Never open the case of the scanner. If you think repairs or

adjustments are necessary, consult your dealer.

Transporting the Scanner

If you transport the scanner a long distance or store it for an

extended period, follow the steps below to secure the carriage.

1. Turn on the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to the

home position (position nearest the cover hinge). Then turn

off the scanner.

2. Remove the transportation screw from the storage hole

marked STOCK and screw it into the center hole.

Note:

If the scanner is broken, the carriage may not automatically return to

the home position. If it does not, raise the front of the scanner and

hold it up until the carriage comes to rest in the home position. Then

perform step 2 above.
