HandPunch Maintenance
A minimum amount of system maintenance is required to keep HandPunchs
fully functional. HandPunchs should be cleaned periodically to prevent an
accumulation of dust from affecting the HandPunch’s readability. User Scores
should be reviewed periodically to ensure the HandPunch is performing
properly.
There are NO user serviceable parts inside the HandPunch.
Once a HandPunch system is in operation there are three HandPunch
commands that can assist with system maintenance. These commands are
performed through the Service Menu. The instructions for these commands
begin on page 54.
• Calibrate – View HandPunch exposure values.
• Status Display – Display HandPunch input/output status, the hand read
score of the last user to verify on the system.
Inspect and clean the HandPunch regularly to maintain optimum performance.
Clean the platen, side mirror, reflector, and the window above the platen using
a clean cloth dampened with ordinary, non-abrasive window cleaner (see
Figure 9-1 below). Start at the rear corners of the platen and work your way
forward.
DO NOT SPRAY CLEANING FLUID DIRECTLY INTO OR ON THE
HandPunch.

Periodically check users’ scores (refer to the Read Score section on page
65). Scores should average under 30. Occasionally a user will score above
30. This is not necessarily an indication of poor performance. If a number of
scores average over 30, clean the HandPunch and check scores again. If
scores remain high, or if users are experiencing frequent rejections, run the
Calibration command (see page 55).
