Scanner Controls
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.
