Performing the Power-on Test

The power-on test is a quick self-checking
mechanism that the scanner carries out after you
turn it on. This is what happens after the scanner is
turned on:
1. POWER indicator (green LED) on the front
panel of the scanner lights up.
2. The two READY indicators (orange LED) beside
the POWER indicator will start flashing briefly.
After a 30-second warm-up period, the scanner
carries out a self-test, with the scanner carriage
moving back and forth at half an inch distance.
If no problems are detected, the READY
indicators stay lit.
Note: If there are problems with the POWER and Note Note Note Note
READY indicators, you may need service on your
scanner. Call Technical Support for help, or outside
the U.S and Canada, call your authorized Microtek
dealer.
3. The scanning lamp inside the scanner should be
on too by this time. The lamp only goes off if the
scanner is left on for more then 2 hours and is
not used.
Note: If the scanner lamp doesn't come on, starts to
flicker, or gets dim, call for help.
