Page 7: Scope Of Delivery
Unpacking and Setting up 8 Scope of Delivery The TANGO/TANGO XL scope of delivery includes the following components: – Scanning drum 150, scanning drum 212 (TANGO XL only) – Scanning drum cover – 1 SCSI cable – 2 power cables –...
Page 8: Unpacking And Setting Up
Note: Setting up TANGO/TANGO XL requires a space of approx. 3 m in length and 2.20 m in height to allow for pallet, ramp and the area of the unit itself.
Page 9 Unpacking and Setting up Remove the air-cushion foil Using a pair of scissors, cut through the adhesive tapes and remove the air-cushion foil. Undo front panel Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screw in the lower part of the panel. Remove front panel Grasp the panel at the sides with both hands and lift it by about 1 cm.

Mounting Originals 8 Mounting of Originals Originals are mounted away from TANGO/ TANGO XL. To perform this task, we recom- mend using the original mounting devices - TANGOMOUNT for 150-mm drums - TANGOMOUNT XL both for 150-mm drums and for 212-mm drums...
Page 45 Mounting Originals If the balance error is too large, the scanner switches off automatically. Large balance errors will inevitably lead to losses in qual- ity. Physical factors Caution: Physical factors (e.g. temperature changes, scanning drum balance errors, necessary bearing play) have a stronger effect at the open end of the scanning drum than in the vicinity of the ﬂange.

Page 47: Transparency Mounting Up To 6 X 6 Cm Format
Mounting Originals Transparency Mounting up to 6 x 6 cm Format We recommend ﬁxing transparencies up to this size in the case of heavy enlargement scales using anti-Newton oil. Pure liquid parafﬁn is the most suitable. This proce- dure is quick and suitable for all scale fac- tors.
Page 48: Useful Tips
To do this, use a special adhesive tape avail- able from: Original Tesaﬁlm, Type 4113, 19 mm wide, Tesa, Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg Adhesive strips TANGO / TANGO XL – Operation 5–7...
Page 49 Mounting Originals Avoidance of ﬁngerprints To avoid ﬁngerprints getting on to the transparencies, always handle the trans- parencies using curved ﬂat tweezers. Newton rings You can most easily recognize Newton rings by looking directly at the transparency. If Newton rings are present, then the mount- ing and ﬁxing procedure must be repeated.
