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 condensation.
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.
1 place the sa-21 on a level, stable surface
to prevent damage to the adapter, place the sa-21 on a level, stable surface during cleaning.
2 open the front panel
press the release button and open the front panel.
3 remove the adapter cover
4 open the roller frame
release the frame lock lever and open the roller frame.
if jams continue to occur frequently after the interior of the adapter has been cleaned, consult a nikon service representative.
5 clean the rollers
using a dry cotton swab or a swab that has been lightly dampened with water and wrung out, clean the rollers while turning the toothed wheel slowly in either direction with the ball of your thumb. excessive force or the use of a screwdriver or other rigid object could damage the wheel. dry the rollers with a dry cotton swab or leave the roller frame open until the rollers dry.
6 clean the sensors and feed mechanism
remove dust from the interior of the adapter with a blower. clean the three sensors and the feed mechanism thoroughly, changing the angle of the blower to reach all parts of the mechanism.
