Transporting the Scanner
When you transport the scanner a long distance or store it for
an extended time, follow the steps below to secure the
carriage:
1. Make sure the transportation lock on the back of the
scanner is in the UNLOCK position.
2. Locate the SCSI ID rotary switch on the back of the
scanner. Align the dot on the switch with the asterisk (*)
setting.
3. If you’re using a transparency unit or auto document feeder,
remove it and replace the scanner cover.
4. Turn on the carriage and wait until the carriage moves to
the home position (toward the back of the scanner). Then
turn off the scanner.
5. Slide the transportation lock to the LOCK position.
If the carriage doesn’t automatically return to the home
position, slowly raise the front of the scanner and hold it up
until the carriage comes to rest in the home position. Then
slide the transportation lock to the LOCK position.
Transporting the Transparency Unit
After you’ve removed the transparency unit from the scanner,
prepare it for shipping as follows:
1. Slowly raise the front of the transparency unit to allow the
lamp assembly to slide to the back of the unit. Wait until
the lamp assembly comes to rest.
2. Reinstall the transparency unit’s shipping screw in the hole
marked CLAMP.
