Instead, they will automatically turn the lamp off after about thirty

minutes of CPU inactivity. Some systems send a query signal down

the SCSI chain, or other devices on the chain may emit signals. As

long as the scanner is receiving a signal, it will not shut itself off. If

the scanner is not shutting off, wait until the computer is shut

down, or you can plug it into a dedicated surge protector and use

it’s power switch to turn the power on and off..
