Caution
The anti-reflective surface of the platen is easily damaged by fingernails and jewelry.
Before cleaning the platen, remove any jewelry (rings, bracelets, watches, etc.)
which may accidentally come in contact with the platen.
If the Auto-Pak cloth catches on parts inside the exposure module, take care not to
damage the parts when removing the cloth. Check for and remove any torn pieces of
cloth.
6. Use an Auto-Pak cloth to wipe the surface of the platen, as well as the inside
surfaces close to the bottom of the exposure module.
Note
The Auto-Pak cloth will not remove large particles. Use a flashlight and fingers to
remove large particles.
