Dusting
Dusting your scanner should be performed daily. This is as easy as using an air duster to
remove any particles from your scanner's gate, drive wheels and any other film contact surface.
This is best performed with the gate removed.
When dusting, it's worth paying special attention to the small plastic infill on your scanner's
gate. Dust build-up in this area can affect stabilization performance, so from time to time it's
worth wiping this down with a damp cloth.
When dusting the optional 8mm gate, use an air duster or lint free cloth to clean the bearing
faces and aperture shutters. In addition, the bearing pockets will require occasional cleaning to
avoid excess dust build up.
Pay special attention to the infill when dusting
You may occasionally wish to clean the lens over your scanner's RGB light source. This can
be done with a clean cloth and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol.
Both air dusters and isopropyl alcohol are available at most electronics stores.
Cleaning the Audio and KeyKode Reader Roller
The Audio and KeyKode Reader contains a rubber roller for film laced through its upper track.
This should be cleaned from time to time with a damp cloth. Simply remove any film laced
through the upper track and hold a damp cloth against the roller while turning the cleaning
knob to get rid of any dust buildup.
