Replacing The Fluorescent Lamps; Transporting The Scanner - Epson GT-5500 User Manual

Replacing the fluorescent lamps

The luminosity of the fluorescent lamps declines over time. If
the lamps break or become too dim to operate normally, the
scanner stops working and both the READY and ERROR lights
flash. When this happens, the lamp assembly must be replaced.
For details, contact your dealer.

Caution:
Never open the case of the scanner. If you think repairs or
adjustments are necessary, consult your dealer.

Transporting the Scanner

If you transport the scanner a long distance or store it for an
extended period, follow the steps below to secure the carriage.
1. Turn on the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to the
home position (position nearest the cover hinge). Then turn
off the scanner.
2. Remove the transportation screw from the storage hole
marked STOCK and screw it into the center hole.
Note:
If the scanner is broken, the carriage may not automatically return to
the home position. If it does not, raise the front of the scanner and
hold it up until the carriage comes to rest in the home position. Then
perform step 2 above.
