why does red light flash while scanning mean how to make it go away

A flashing red light on the KIP 7170 indicates that the Scan Abort Button has been pressed, stopping the current scan or copy process immediately. This also halts any ongoing printing, and the document is ejected. To resolve this, restart the scanning or copying process as needed. Avoid pulling back or holding down the original on the Original Table to stop feeding.
