Cleaning your Scanner:
Proper care of the sensor head is needed to ensure a good performance of the device. Therefore, the bottom needs to be
kept clean at all times by using the cloth and the brush.
Cleaning your calibration cap:
The yellow side of the calibration cap cannot, in any way, handle water. Additionally, the yellow part is made out of fibre
material which can’t be brushed. Scan the yellow side only with a clean scanner and wipe it gently with a soft cloth if it is
a bit dirty.
The white part of the calibration cap needs to be clean and dry. The white side can be cleaned with a moist towel with a
drop of an abrasive cleaning product. The material of the white side absorbs water, therefore drying takes several hours.
The cap can be dried on the heater.
