Chapter 6 Service Adjustments 6-9
6-5-5-2 Procedure
NOTE: The operator panel must be at or near its highest position.
1.) From underneath the handle use a 10mm open-end (small “ignition” style) wrench to screw out the 
cable adjustment screw so the underside of the screw head is about half way between the casting 
and the unsqueezed lever. See Figure 6-5 on page 6-8 .
2.) There is a Wire Clamp nestled in the Forked Retainer. Refer to Figure 6-6. Using 2 slotted 
screwdrivers (one on each side of the clamp) loosen the clamp.
3.) Using needle nose pliers, hold the cable end which is above the clamp and pull upward to take up 
any cable slack.
4.) Using one of the two slotted screwdrivers, push the Clamp down along the cable so that it is nestled 
back in the Forked Retainer.
5.) Tighten the clamp with one screwdriver to hold the cable. Let go of the pliers and then use the two 
screwdrivers to fully tighten the clamp.
6.) Without squeezing the release lever, check that the forked retainer is in its fully up position.
7.) Squeeze the release lever and watch the forked retainer move down immediately as the lever is 
squeezed, there should be very little play in the cable. Small amounts of play can be taken up (or 
slackened) with the cable adjustment screw per step 1.Figure 6-6   Gas Spring Mechanism
WARNINGWARNINGDo NOT attempt to pinch together or pry apart the forked retainer. If one of the tines 
should break off, the gas spring piston may have to be replaced at the factory.

6-10 Section 6-5 - Z-Release Cable and Gas Spring Adjustment
6-5-6 Gas Spring Adjustment
1.) Using a 17mm wrench, loosen the Jamb Nut.
2.) Using pliers, grab the Piston Shaft just below the nut and turn the shaft based on the your situation:
- If the operation panel can move without squeezing the release lever: Turn so that the shaft 
un-threads from the release mechanism
- If the operation panel does not move even when squeezing the release lever: Turn so the 
shaft threads into the release mechanism further
NOTE: Slight turning makes a large difference, turn only ¼ of a turn at a time. The nut will probably turn with 
the shaft, use it as a guide as to how much you are turning.
3.) Check the operation, push down or pull up on the operator panel handle while slowly squeezing the 
release lever, motion should start with the lever at 1/4 to 2/3 of the full range of movement. Repeat 
step 2 as necessary.
4.) Tighten the Jamb nut.Figure 6-7   Gas Spring Adjustment

6-5-7 Emergency Release Procedure
When the operator panel is at or near its highest position it is possible to see the gas spring mechanism 
with the Black and White Printer or the VCR removed. If the operator panel is stuck in the down position, 
it is not possible to see the gas spring mechanism as it is down behind the card rack. To avoid removing 
the Card Rack to make adjustments, try this procedure to raise the operator panel.
1.) Using 3mm Allen Wrench, remove the shoulder bolt holding the release lever on the handle.
2.) Tilt the release lever down and pull on the cable as shown in the figure below. This will give 
unlimited travel and hopefully release the gas spring. Push up on the operator panel while you are 
pulling on the cable.
3.) If you have no cable to pull (cable broken) or you are unable to release the gas spring in this 
manner, you must remove the Card Rack to gain access to the gas spring mechanism.
6-5-8 Procedure Completion
1.) Install the VCR.
2.) Install the Black-and-White printer.
3.) Replace the front cover as described in Section 8-2-5 “Front Cover Replacement Procedure” on 
page 8-9.
4.) Replace the side covers as described in Section 8-2-2 “Side Covers (with Bumper) Replacement 
Procedure” on page 8-5.
5.) If required, Power On / Bootup the scanner as described in Section 4-3-1 “Power On / Boot Up” on 
page 4-2.

6-6-4 Brake Arm Adjustment Procedure
To adjust the brake arm it is recommended to separate both front adjustment nuts from the brake 
assembly.
2.) Remove the brake clamps that are inserted through a small hole in the front adjustment nuts and 
slipped over the nut at its collar.
3.) Loosen the front retaining nuts to allow room for adjustments.
4.) With a screwdriver you can pry the front adjustment nuts away from their connectors in the brake 
assembly.
5.) Set the main brake - the brake assembly should be pulled to the left.
6.) Seat the right adjustment rod into the right adjustment nut under the right front wheel as far as it will 
go.
7.) Seat the right front adjustment nut onto the adjustment rod as far as it will go.
8.) In order to insure that the same length of adjustment rod is seated into the two adjustment nuts you 
will turn the adjustment rod one turn out of the rear adjustment nut under the front wheel and turn 
the front adjustment nut off the adjustment rod a similar turn.
9.) Repeat this alternating rotation until the front adjustment nut lines up easily with the connector in 
the brake assembly.
10.) Push the adjustment nut onto the brake assembly connector and secure the retaining nut tight 
against the adjustment nut.
NOTE: Repeat the same procedure to adjust the swivel lock. The only difference would be to set the swivel lock 
prior to the adjusments.

and place a second block of wood under the chassis to support the rear wheel off of the ground.
5.) Remove the four screws and remove the wheel from the scanner.
6.) Use an allen wrench to adjust the brake so it will properly “bite” and release the rear tire.
6-7-2-5 Rear Wheel Installation Procedure

Diagnostics/Troubleshooting
Section 7-1
Overview
7-1-1 Purpose of Chapter 7
This section describes how to setup and run the tools and software that help maintain image quality and 
system operation. Basic host, system, and board level diagnostics are run whenever power is applied. 
Some Service Tools may be run at the application level.
Section 7-2
Network Connectivity Troubleshooting
There is a troubleshooting tool available that the customer can use as a first step to investigate network 
connectivity issues. It gives the current status of network and provides the option to restart the network 
components in the Back End Processor.
This ALT+N function can also be used to ensure that GE Service is not connected remotely before 
placing the system in Stand-by Mode. If the syetem is placed in Stand-by Mode with GE Service 
connected the system will not come out of Stand-by Mode later. The system will have to be power 
cycled (rebooted).
Activate the tool by pressing ALT+N and follow the choices displayed. Table 7-1    Contents in Chapter 7

Gathering Trouble Data
7-3-1 Overview
There may be a time when it would be advantageous to capture trouble images and system data (logs) 
for acquisition through remote diagnostics (InSite) or to be sent back to the manufacturer for analysis. 
There are different options to acquire this data that would give different results. 
7-3-2 Collect Vital System Information
