Caring for the SA-21 Strip-Film Adapter
Storage
When the adapter is removed from the scanner, store it in a well-ventilated area where the
temperature is between –10 °C (14 °F) and +50 °C (+122 °F) and the humidity less than 60%.
Do not store the adapter where it would be subject to sudden temperature changes or con-
densation.
Cleaning
The SA-21 is equipped with internal rollers for feeding and ejecting fi lm. Failure to keep the
rollers clean may result in frequent “jams” in which the scanner is unable to feed or eject
the fi lm. If jams are occurring more frequently, clean the interior of the adapter as described
below. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damaged fi lm.
