Turning on the Scanner

the POWER

come on.
The display shows 100, which indicates a zoom value of 100 percent.

the
home position and checks the fluorescent lamps. After a few
seconds,
the READY light comes on.

CAUTION: Whenever you turn off
the
scanner, wait at
.
least ten seconds before turning it back on. Rapid
switching on and off can damage the scanner.
Running the Self Tests
The scanner has two self-test modes: page sequence and line
sequence. In page sequence mode, the carriage scans the document
table three times,
once
for each of
the
fluorescent lamps (green, then
red, then blue). In line sequence mode, the carriage scans
the
document table once using all three lamps.
During a self test,
the
scanner does
not scan
an image or send any
image data to the computer. Therefore, you do
not
need to connect
the scanner to a computer to perform
the
self test. If the scanner is
connected to a computer, you can resume normal operation after
performing a self test.
To start a self test, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure
the
scanner is turned off.
2.
Open the document cover so you can see how the scanner
operates during
the
self test.
