Z-Release Cable and Gas Spring Adjustment
The operator panel can move up and down (Z direction). A gas spring in the scanner provides a counter
force to "balance" the weight of the operator panel and allows for positioning with minimal effort. A lever
on the main handle has a cable (similar to a bicycle cable) that provides the release for the gas spring.
This cable has one end attached to the release lever and the other end attached to the mechanism on
the gas spring piston.
