Scanner Control
The film scanner provides an energy-saving feature whereby the scanning lamp
switches to power-saving mode when the scanner remains idle for a defined
period of time. It will revert to full power mode as soon as the Overview,
Prescan, or Scan/Batch button is clicked. Aside from saving power, the feature
also helps extend the service life of the lamp and prevents the caking and
deforming of film being scanned due to long period of exposure to lamp heat.
