Chapter 2: Installing the Scanner 15
Environmental Requirements
# Place the scanner on a horizontal, flat surface.
# To ensure proper ventilation, allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) free space around each
side of the scanner and a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) at the rear of the scanner.
# Make sure that no vibrations or shocks occur.
# Make sure that the area is free of excessive dust.
# Avoid any contact with water.
# The scanner is designed to operate optimally when the environmental temperature is between
10°C and 35°C (50 °F to 95 °F). Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and heating devices.
# The scanner is designed to operate optimally when the environmental humidity is between
10% and 85%. Avoid environments where humidity fluctuations might occur.
# Check whether the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage of your scanner. If
not, contact your dealer or Agfa service representative.
Precautions
For your own safety and that of your equipment, respect conscientiously the Environmental
Requirements and always take the following precautions:
Caution
: For the reason of safety, besides the personal maintenance mentioned in this owner's
guide, do not try to remove any mechanical parts or any electronic devices. If your scanner needs
service, our dealer and service offices are available to help you.
# Handle your Arcus 1200 with care: its glass plate is fragile. There is no warranty on breaking
the glass plate and your dealer is not liable for the consequential damages.
# Check frequently whether there is no overheating of the power plug and whether the power
plug is pushed all the way into the wall outlet.
# Switch the machine to stand-by mode at the end of your working day or during power failure.
# Disconnect the power plug when you want to clean the reflective glass plate and when the
scanner needs service.
# Do not open the scanner housing as it contains high-voltage areas and sensitive components.
Any curative maintenance should be carried out by your dealer or Agfa service representative.
# Do not leave originals in the scanner for excessive periods of time. The warmth of the scanner
may cause them to deteriorate.
# Make sure to attach transparent originals on the glass plate with the flexible template and with
adhesive tape. Otherwise you might loose them in the scanner.
# To avoid crashes, never use extension cables for SCSI cables.
# For safety reasons, never use extension cables for power cables.
