== How ==


You can use a CCFL and electronic ballast out of a old SCSI document scanner.  Just so you know a ballast is the same as an Inverter. Also not all scanners have CCFL technology the new ones have LED technology and very old black and white faxes have LED technology. You may be lucky enough to find in some scanners a separated ballast print.

How

You can use a CCFL and electronic ballast out of a old SCSI document scanner. Just so you know a ballast is the same as an Inverter. Also not all scanners have CCFL technology the new ones have LED technology and very old black and white faxes have LED technology. You may be lucky enough to find in some scanners a separated ballast print.

WARNING the CCFL ballast haves dangerous high voltage output

  • Some times you can find a printout with the CCFL ballast electronic and some scanning electronic
  • You have to separate the scanning electronic parts

CCFL lamp and ballast out of a fax machine

It is possible to use a CCFL and electronic ballast out of an old fax machine.

Some fax machine have a colored CCFL tube.

Some colored CCFL tubefax it is possible to take the colored film off.

Some colored CCFL tubefax have colored glas, than the tube is useles for the lamp cap.


The CCFL tube is in the paper scanning part of the fax. CCFL ballast is conected with the CCFL tube.

Not al fax machine have CCFL technology New fax and the verry old fax have led technology
