Removing the Shipping Screws
To prevent damage during shipping, shipping screws are
attached to the TPU to secure its lamp assembly. You must
remove these screws before using the TPU.
1Turn the TPU so the glass side faces up.
2Use a Phillips head (cross head) screwdriver to remove
both shipping screws from the holes labeled CLAMP, as
shown below.
Caution:
If a screw is left in
an outer hole while
using the TPU, the
TPU may be
damaged.

between the shipping holes, as shown below.
Before transporting the scanner, turn it off, remove the TPU,

labeled CLAMP. The transportation lock screw on the scanner
must also be locked before transporting the scanner (see the
scanner’s
Setup Guide).
Note:
If you can’t replace
the shipping
screws, the TPU’s
lamp assembly may
not be in its home
position. If this is the
case, reattach the
TPU to the scanner,
close the TPU, and
turn on the scanner.
