Pertech 6100 Series - Manual (Page 13)

Pertech Resources Inc. October 2007 220350A 9
There is no customer maintenance required for the 6100 scanners. However, scanners gather paper dust
and other debris through normal use, continued accumulation can eventually lead to imaging issues. A
general preventive maintenance program can help reduce unnecessary failures and downtime. Pertech
recommends that you occasionally clean lint and paper dust out of the scanner using low pressure canned
air. It is recommended that this be done on a regular basis, such as once a month. Clean the cabinet as
needed to remove finger marks and dust. Use any household cleaner designed for plastics, but test it first
on a small, inconspicuous area. Additionally, contact sensors should be cleaned with an approved Pertech
Cleaning Wipe.
Caution: Do not spray or try to clean the Contact Imaging Sensors (CIS) or the inside of the scanner with
any kind of cleaner other than what is recomended. This may damage the CIS or the electronics.
Preventive Maintenance
Clearing Jams
If a jam occurs the paper path can be accessed simply by opening the cover. Access to the full
paper path allows the user to remove the jam without the hassle of trying to wiggle, pry, or eject
the form. When clearing a jam clear the paper path of any documents, paper dust etc.... make
sure rollers are free of debris. Close cover to resume operation
.
Feed Issues
If the document is not being grabbed by the first roller check to see if the form alignment is cor-
rectly aligned with the sensor on the right side of the entrance tray. If alignment is OK and form
still will not feed, open the 6100 Scanner cover and check for paper or debris and remove.( See
preventive maintenance section in this manual. )
