7.4.2 Replacing the White-Background-Platen
Some scanner models are designed so users can replace the white-background-platen. On
other models, a service technician must perform this process. See your scanner’s model
specifications to see if the white background is user-replaceable on your scanner.
A white-background-platen can become worn and discolored after long periods of use and
replacement with a fresh white-background-platen is recommended. WIDEsystem monitors
scanner usage and will warn you when it is time for a replacement.
Replacing the White-background-platen:
On Scanners:
On these scanner models, the pressure-platen itself functions also as the white-background-
platen. Replacing the white-background-platen means replacing the scanner’s (white) pressure-
platen.
