Maintenance

Fig 47 Transport

Like any professional film scanner, diTTo should be kept in an appropriate environment (see page 30) and should be regularly cleaned.

Film Gate Removal

The film gate can be removed, if necessary, by undoing the 2 fixing latches and carefully lifting the mechanism out.

Clean as necessary (see below). Refitting the gate may require pressing of

the Pins Up/Pins Down buttons to seat properly. (See page 26)

Secure the gate with the fixing latches.

Transport (Film Path Rollers and Gate)

The film transport path should be checked before every job and cleaned if necessary.

Check that there is no physical damage on any of the transport path areas. Also check that there is no build-up of dirt or dust. Any accumulated deposits should be removed using a lint-free cloth.

Check that the gate shuttle mechanism is free and that the shafts are clean. If necessary, clean well and apply a very small quantity of fine oil via a lint-free cloth, removing any surplus.

Camera and illumination Lenses

The camera lens should be checked before every job and cleaned if necessary.

The lens should be gently dusted using Optical quality wipes.

Access to the illumination lens can be made when the film gate is removed.

Caution: All Cintel lenses are coated to improve their performance, this coating is very easily scratched, and therefore great care must be taken to avoid damage.
