If a sensor is outside of the recommended operating temperature, but not yet critical, the temperature
display is highlighted in yellow. Scanning is still possible, but we recommend letting the scanner either
warm up or cool down until the temperature display is again highlighted in green.
If the temperature is too high or too low, the temperature display is highlighted in red. In that case,
scanning is not possible. The scanner shuts down within a few minutes.
Fan cooling switches the scanner's integrated fan on or off.
If the temperature is above the critical limit, ensure that the fan is switched on. If not, switch it on.
NOTICE: Switch the fan off in exceptional cases only!
If the fan is switched off for long periods, the scanner can overheat, resulting in an aborted
scanning process or causing damaged.
