Servicing

To ensure optimal scan quality, it is important to keep your scanner clean and dust free. This is
easily done by regularly cleaning the particle transfer rollers and using an air duster to clean
the rest of your scanner's contact surfaces including its hard rubber rollers, drive wheels and
skid plate.

Cleaning the Particle Transfer Rollers

Cleaning the particle transfer rollers, or PTRs, should be done after every film run. To clean the
rollers, simply remove the O-ring at the end of each PTR spindle and slide off the roller. Apply
warm, soapy water to the rollers using household dishwashing detergent and allow them to air
dry. We don't recommend towel or blow drying as this can deposit new particles on the rollers or
heat deform them. Once dry, simply slide the rollers and O-ring back on and you're ready to scan.
If the PTRs are becoming hard to remove or install, apply a thin layer of silicon grease to the
inside of the O rings. This will help maintain lubrication so they are easier to remove for cleaning.

If you find your particle transfer rollers losing stickiness even after washing, or have become
difficult to mount and remove through age, wear and tear, you can purchase new rollers from
the Blackmagic Design website at

Cleaning the Capstans

Clean the capstans as needed, ideally prior to scanning every new roll of film. Allow the
capstans to air dry before use.
NOTE Caution must be observed to prevent damage by liquids to electronics near the
capstans. Apply only a small amount of water to a lint free cloth. Do not use solvents or
sprays when cleaning the capstans.
