MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
This part of the manual describes how to replace the halogen lamp,
cleaning the scanner and dealing with errors. Regular scanner
maintenance is essential to eusure optimum performance and a
long service life from your scanner.

Replacing the lamp
The lamp projects the film image onto the screen, and the procedure for replacing the lamp is described below, along with some
precautions to be observed when handling the lamp unit. If the
lamp burns out, use the procedure below to replace it.
When the lamp burns out, “LP” appears on the Print/Error display.

HEAT CAUTION
Immediately after the lamp burns out, the lamp and
the metal components of the lamp unit are very hot. To
avoid being burned, allow the lamp ample time to cool
down before touching it. The lamp will cool down more
quickly if you leave the scanner switched on for some
minutes with “LP” displayed. After checking that the
lamp and the metal components have cooled down,
proceed with lamp replacement.
1. When the lamp burns out, leave the scanner switched on for
several minutes until the lamp has cooled down.
After waiting at least 5 minutes, check that the lamp
has cooled down and then switch the scanner off.

2. Firmly grip the lamp unit on the right side of the main unit and
slowly pull the lamp unit out.
When you remove the lamp unit, “L5” appears in the
Print/Error display.

CAUTION
To avoid injury, do not touch the interior of the main
unit after you have removed the lamp unit.
3. Push the lever on the side of the lamp and remove the burned
out lamp.
