Maintenance
Your device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks
ensure dependable operation:
Cleaning the Device
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner
’s window is not clean. If
the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner
isn’t operating well, clean the
window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild
detergent- water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a
clean lens tissue dampened with water only.
The scanner and base
’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
!
Caution:
Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner
’s
housing is not watertight.
Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner
’s
window
– abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never
use solvents (e.g., alcohol or acetone) on the housing or
window
– solvents may damage the finish or the window.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of dam-
age. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner
operation. Contact your distributor for information about cable replace-
ment. Cable replacement instructions are on page 10-1.
Replacing Cables
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the scanner
’s handle
by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replace-
able.
