    ■ handle your arcus 1200 with care: its glass plate is fragile. there is no warranty on breaking the glass plate and your dealer is not liable for the consequential damages.

    ■ check frequently whether there is no overheating of the power plug and whether the power plug is pushed all the way into the wall outlet.

    ■ switch the machine to stand-by mode at the end of your working day or during power failure.

    ■ disconnect the power plug when you want to clean the reflective glass plate and when the scanner needs service.

    ■ do not open the scanner housing as it contains high-voltage areas and sensitive components. any curative maintenance should be carried out by your dealer or agfa service representative.

    ■ do not leave originals in the scanner for excessive periods of time. the warmth of the scanner may cause them to deteriorate.

    ■ make sure to attach transparent originals on the glass plate with the flexible template and with adhesive tape. otherwise you might loose them in the scanner.

    ■ to avoid crashes, never use extension cables for scsi cables.
