Operating the Scanner

Performing the power-on self-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:

READY indicator beside the POWER indicator flashes

briefly. After a 30-second warm-up period, the scanner carries
out a self-test, with the scanner carriage moving back and
forth about a half-inch. If no problems are detected, the
READY indicator stays lit.
Note: If there are problems with the POWER and READY indicators, see
the Troubleshooting section in the Appendix.
The fluorescent lamp inside the scanner should be on too by

this time. The lamp should never go off while the scanner is
on.
Note: If the scanner lamp doesn't come on, starts to flicker, or gets dim,
see the section Replacing the scanner lamp at the end of this chapter. You
may need repairs on your scanner.
