Caring for the SA-21 Strip-Film Adapter

Storage

When the adapter is removed from the scanner, store it in a well-ventilated area where the temperature is between –10 °C (14 °F) and +50 °C (+122 °F) and the humidity less than 60%. Do not store the adapter where it would be subject to sudden temperature changes or con- densation.

Cleaning

The SA-21 is equipped with internal rollers for feeding and ejecting film. Failure to keep the rollers clean may result in frequent “jams” in which the scanner is unable to feed or eject the film. If jams are occurring more frequently, clean the interior of the adapter as described below. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damaged film.
