2.4 Locking the Densitometer and the Transparency Module
To transport or ship the Densitometer, be sure to re-lock the optical assembly to avoid
damage to it. Before re-locking the assembly, make sure the optical assembly of the
transparency adapter is in the Home Position by doing the following:
1. If the Densitometer is powered on, turn the Densitometer off.
2. Turn the Densitometer’s power back on.
3. Wait for the Densitometer’s Ready and Power indicators to light up.
4. Turn the Densitometer off again. The transparency assembly should be in the
Home position.
To lock the optical assembly, insert a coin in the Carriage Lock. Turn it until the marked
points align with the locked marks.
