Topic: How to clean
the DuplexScan 1200 scanner
The
scanner requires no maintenance except for occasional cleaning. Dirt and
other foreign particles from scanned cards and photographs may
accumulate on the scanning glass and roller after an extended period of
use. If there are noticeable dark lines in the scanned images, the
scanner may need cleaning.
- Lift up the
top cover of the scanner.
- Remove the
SINGLE screw as shown. Use a small Philips head screwdriver. DO NOT
remove any other screw.
- Carefully lift
up the left end of the upper imaging sensor.
- Slide off the
end retainer and remove the sensor from the right end pivot hole. DO
NOT detach the white ribbon cable from the sensor.
- Turn the upper
sensor so that the glass plate faces up. Then rest the sensor on the
scanner.
- Wipe away dirt
or other particles from the upper and lower glass plates and rubber
rollers with a dry cotton cloth. Use a small amount of rubbing
alcohol if needed.
- Carefully
re-assemble the scanner. Do not use excessive force when
tightening the screws.
