Lamp Tab

The Lamp tab lets you choose between two modes of operation for the scanner lamp:

•	Energy Save mode.

In this mode, the scanner lamp turns on when you start scanning. There is about a 30 second delay while the lamp warms up. The lamp stays on for 10 minutes, then turns off. This saves on the life of the scanner lamp, but results in a slower first scan.

•	Faster Scan mode.
In this mode, you can set a time for the lamp to turn on. The lamp then stays on for 10 hours. This results in faster scans, but may shorten the life of the scanner lamp.

To select the Faster Scan mode:

1.	Click the Faster Scan button.

2.	From the list, select a time to turn the scanner on.

To select the Energy Save mode:

1.	Click the Energy Save button.
