5 Mounting Originals
5–4 Edition October 1998
If the balance error is too large, the scanner
switches off automatically. Large balance
errors will inevitably lead to losses in qual-
ity.
■ Physical factors
Caution:
Physical factors (e.g. temperature changes,
scanning drum balance errors, necessary
bearing play) have a stronger effect at the
open end of the scanning drum than in the
vicinity of the flange. Originals should
therefore always be mounted in the vicinity
of the flange, if possible.
To achieve optimum quality and register
accuracy, make sure that with scales larger
than 1000 % the originals for this scale
range - even with the drum covered in orig-
inals - are always mounted in the vicinity of
the flange.
Warning!
If volatile and therefore usually easily
inflammable substances such as film
cleaner are used for original mounting
instead of the recommended scan gel or
anti-Newton oil, ensure that the area is well
ventilated. There should be no smoking and
fire and sparks should be avoided.
You will find information concerning the
accessories required for original mounting
and consumables in the chapter Technical
Data and Accessories.
