Scanning features and controls

Before scanning images, it is important to understand the scanner’s

basic hardware features as well as the software controls.

Hardware features

Power

The scanner requires its own power source (use the adapter provided).

There is no on/off power switch on the unit. When the scanner is

plugged in to a power source, its power is on and the indicator light is lit.

Please note: The power light may remain dimly lit even when it is not

plugged into a power supply because it receives a small portion of its

power from the computer.

The scanner is activated when first powered

on or when you choose Acquire. By default, the lamp is programmed to

remain on even when the scanner is not in use - indicating that power is

available. You can use the Lamp Control section contained in the

Scanner Utility to adjust the amount of time the scanning light remains

on when the scanner is not in use.

To adjust the Lamp Control options select

Info Tech > Scanner Utility

from your Programs menu and click on the Lamp Control tab.
