Introduction

The Bookeye 5 is a scanner that is available to Broome Library patrons and employees. This scanner can be used for either everyday scanning or for archival scans.

Basic information

Below are some basic guidelines to follow in maintaining the Bookeye 5 scanner.

• Users should not have any food or drink near the scanner.

• Cleaning the flat surface of the scanner should be done by using a damp cloth and lightly rubbing away any dust.

• Use only non-amonia cleansers to clean lens. NEVER spray the cleanser directly onto the lens. Spray the cleanser on a microfiber cloth and lightly clean the lens.

• Never place anything on top of the Bookeye. The lens is housed in the top portion of the scanner and can be damaged if anything is placed on top of it.
