25. Replacing the Projection Lamp

Use the following procedure to replace the Projection Lamp whenever a reduction in bright­ness on the screen is detected or whenever the lamp burns out. Make sure that the replace­ment lamp is specified for use with this scanner.
If the Projection Lamp should burn out during a print operation, an L2 code will appear and the print job will stop (a blank piece of paper may be output depending upon the stage of the job).
