Scanner use and maintenance

For ordinary users, it is important not only to purchase a scanner that is of good quality, convenient, and durable, but also to learn to use it properly and perform simple maintenance.

1. Once the scanner is powered up, do not hot-swap the cables of the SCSI or EPP connectors. This can damage the scanner or computer. Of course, except the USB interface, it itself supports hot swap.

2. When the scanner is working, please do not cut off the power midway. Generally, it is necessary to wait until the mirror unit of the scanner is completely reset to cut off the power. This is very meaningful for the normal operation of the scanner circuit chip.

3. Some CCD scanners can scan small three-dimensional objects, but you should pay attention when scanning: When placing sharp objects, do not move the objects casually to avoid scratching the glass, including staples on reflective drafts, and do not use force when lowering the lid. Meng, so as not to break the glass.

4. Some scanners are not designed to completely cut off the power switch, when the user does not use, the scanner's lamp is still on, because the scanner lamp is also a consumable (can be analogized to fluorescent, but the duration of use To be much longer, it is recommended that users cut off the power when not in use.

5. The scanner should be placed away from the window, because the dust near the window is more, and direct sunlight, the life of plastic parts will be reduced.

6. Because the scanner will generate static electricity during work, it will absorb a large amount of dust and enter the body, affecting the work of the mirror group. Therefore, do not cover it with fabrics that are easy to lose wool (velvet products, cotton fabrics, etc.). You can use silk or batik fabrics. Cover. The proper humidity in the room can reduce the effect of dust on the scanner.
