8 Cleaning Originals
To obtain optimum scanning results, the
originals must also be cleaned and
maintained as required.
0 “Inspecting” the Originals before
Cleaning
Hold transparency originals against a dark
background and then against a light
background. Carefully view the original
from different angles and distances to
determine whether it is soiled or not, and if
so, the nature of the soiling.
0 Preparing Originals for Cleaning
Avoid electrostatic charging (e.g. by
grounding).
Switch on an antistatic device. After
approx. 1 minute, pass a pin through the
brush to remove the dust.
Pull on lint-free gloves.
Remove dust from the original (for
example, by moving it through the
antistatic device and brushing it).
Place the original flat on a clean, smooth
and flat plate, dirty side up, and secure it, if
necessary.
