7.5.1 Replacing the Glass-plate
Some scanner models are designed so users can detach the glass-plate from the scanner in
order to replace scratched glass-plates with new ones. On other scanner models, such as the
flat bed models, a service technician must perform this process. Your scanner monitors usage
of the glass platen and will warn you when it is time for a replacement through a message in the
iJET Panel display window.
Replacing the Glass-plate:
On Scanners:
1.
Turn the scanner power off and disconnect the power plug.
2. Push down on the two lever buttons found near the insertion slot on each side of the
scanning area lid.
3. The scanning area lid locking mechanism should now be disengaged.
4. As you hold both lever buttons down, place your free fingers in the insertion slot and flip the
scanning area lid open.
5. The glass-plate will be exposed and accessible.
6. On each side of the glass-plate there is a small lever and round finger-handle (see
illustration below). Place your thumbs under both handles on each side.
7. With both arms, pull simultaneously on the left and right levers to flip the glass-plate
towards your body.
8. Each lever is attached to the scanner chassis with a small hook that rests on a pin.
Simultaneously lift both levers upwards to detach their hooks for the pins and free the glass-
plate from the scanner.
9. To reinsert a new glass-plate – Fit the new glass-plate’s lever hooks on the pins on each
side of the scanner.
10. While supporting the glass-plate with your thumbs on the finger handles, carefully push the
glass-plate backwards (away from your body) and ease it down into place.
11. Close the scanning area lid.
NOTE: Make sure you clean a new glass-plate before using it with the scanner.
