Scanner Control (Power Saving Control) - Microtek ScanWizard Industry Reference Manual

Scanner Control (Power Saving Control)

This command lets you use some of the special features of your scanner, such as
lamp control.
Note: Not all scanner models support these features. If your scanner model is not
supported, the Scanner Controls command will be grayed out in the Scanner menu.
Lamp Control
This the power-saving feature of the scanner lamp to save energy and extend the
life cycle of the lamp. By default, the lamp turns off automatically if the scanner
is idle for 15 minutes. You can change the lamp idle time in your preferences or
disable this feature completely by unchecking the Auto Power Saving Mode check
box.
By default, the lamp warm-up time is 3 minutes. A lamp warm-up dialog box will
appear if you try to perform a scan or preview operation without the lamp
having fully warmed up. If the lamp is not fully warmed up, the light intensity of
the scanner may not be stable and may adversely affect the quality of your
scanned image.
The current lamp status is indicated. You may specifically turn the lamp on or off
if you wish. Please note that the lamp On / Off state is automatically controlled
by the software, and no user intervention is necessary. You may want to do this
manually if and only if you wish to turn on and warm up the lamp a few minutes
before you actually finish your scan job editing.
