When changing the FFC, attach the Mylar [A] to the new FFC.
When attaching the Mylar, follow the steps below.
- Feed the FFC through the ferrite core [A].
- Connect the FFC to the scanner carriage’s connector, and then lift the lever [A] to lock it.
- Attach the Mylar [A] to the FFC from above, and then insert the tabs at both ends of the Mylar into the gaps in the FFC holder to secure it in position.
When applying the Mylar, do not stretch the FFC.
Applying the Mylar while stretching the FFC causes the circuit board to be deformed.
