The SA-21 Lock Mechanism

Attempting to remove the SA-21 without releasing the lock mechanism could interfere with the connec- tion between the adapter and the scanner. If an attempt has been made to remove the SA-21 without releasing the lock mechanism, push the adapter back into the scanner to re-establish the connection. Attempting to remove the adapter by force could damage the adapter or scanner.

Remove Dust from Film

Dust is a common cause of film feed errors. To prevent jams, use a blower to remove dust and lint from film before scanning.

Continuing Errors

If an error is displayed after the film is ejected, it may be necessary to clean the SA-21 as described under “Caring for the SA-21” ( 54).

Optional Adapters

For information on removing jammed film from optional adapters, see the documentation provided with the adapter.
