When scanning slides with the Reflecta DigitDia 6000, slides may occasionally get stuck when they are retracted. To reduce this to a minimum, there are some tips below. 1. Orange adapter: A common source for this error is the wrong position of the orange adapter. For universal magazines, the orange adapter on the transport arm must be at the front of the tip so that the slide and adapter touch when retracted. For all other types of magazines (such as CS magazine, LKM magazine or Paximat magazine) please slide the orange adapter all the way back. 2. Tips for CS magazines: If CS magazines have been stored for a long time and rarely used, it can happen that the slides are very tight in the magazine and difficult to slide out. To avoid this you can solve this problem with silicone spray. You can simply spray the inside of the magazine with silicone spray and slide the CS frames much easier from the magazine (see video tutorial). Silicone spray can be found here or in the hardware store. If you do not have any silicone spray or other suitable lubricant on hand, we would recommend you to relocate the slides several times in another magazine (see video). If you do not have an empty CS magazine, you can push the slides out of the magazine by about 2/3 and push them back in again. You should repeat this process several times to loosen the slides. 3. Tips for universal magazines With universal magazines, jamming can occur more frequently, especially with thin slides. A common cause is that the magazines do not slide well through the device. Therefore, I also recommend you to buy silicone spray in this type of magazine, e.g. here at Amazon. In this case, do not spray the magazines directly, but spray a part of a napkin with silicone spray and rub the contact surfaces on the underside of the universal magazine with it. You can also carefully rub the surface of the sliding surfaces on the slide scanner. However, under no circumstances spray the slide scanner or your magazines directly. This can lead to severe damage to the scanner or your slides.
4. Tips for cardboard and thin frames Cardboard slides and other thin frames can lead to slides getting stuck due to their small width. Always make sure that there is only one slide per slot in the magazine. If you get more jammed, you can place one or more journals / thin books under the slide scanner on the left or right side. As a result, the scanner is a bit slanted and the slides fall in one direction, so that the slides can be better grasped. 5. Tips for glass frames On the one hand there are glass frames, which usually pose no problems. On the other hand, there are also slides that consist of two pieces glued to each other with adhesive strips of glass. These slides can not be processed directly from the magazine with the slide scanner because they are too heavy and too big. You can, however, insert them one by one and scan them individually. After each scan, simply remove the slide by pressing the green button on the top of the unit. The dialift moves up and you can remove the scanned slide at the top and insert a new one.
