Cleaning the Capstans
Clean the capstans as needed, ideally prior to scanning every new roll of film. Allow the
capstans to air dry before use.
NOTE Caution must be observed to prevent damage by liquids to electronics near the
capstans. Apply only a small amount of water to a lint free cloth. Do not use solvents or
sprays when cleaning the capstans.
Dusting
Dusting your scanner should be performed daily. This is as easy as using an air duster to
remove any particles from your scanner’s skid plate, drive wheels and any other film
contactsurface. This is best performed with the skid plate removed.
When dusting, it’s worth paying special attention to the small plastic infill on your scanner’s skid
plate. Dust buildup in this area can effect stabilization performance, so from time to time it’s
worth wiping this down with a damp cloth.
Pay special attention to the skid plate infill when dusting
You may occasionally wish to clean the lens over your scanner’s RGB light source. This can
bedone with a clean cloth and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol.
Both air dusters and isopropyl alcohol are available at most electronics stores.
