Setting scanner lamp controls

You can set the scanner lamp to use either Energy Save or Faster Scan. These scanner lamp controls are available in the

HP Scanjet Controls control panel.

Energy Save

While using Energy Save, the scanner lamp stays on as long as the software is running and might stay on for a while after the software is closed. However, after about ten minutes, the scanner lamp turns off.

Because the scanner lamp turns off, the scanner conserves energy when Energy Save is enabled. (Energy Save is the default setting for the scanner.)

To enable Energy Save

1Choose Control Panels from the Apple () menu, and then choose HP Scanjet Controls from the submenu.

2In the HP Scanjet Controls dialog box, click the Lamp tab.

3Click Energy Save.

4When finished, close the HP Scanjet Controls dialog box.

Faster Scan

After the scanner lamp has turned off, it must warm up again before the scanner can begin scanning. (This warm-up process takes about 30 seconds.) As a result, the time it takes to scan an item immediately after the scanner lamp turns on is longer than the time it takes to scan subsequent items.

To help prevent scanning delays caused while the scanner lamp is warming up, you can enable Faster Scan. This setting allows you to set a time (such as the beginning of your business day) when the scanner lamp automatically turns on. The scanner lamp stays on for ten hours and then turns off.

Because the scanner lamp stays on, even if you are not using the scanner or the software, the scanner uses more energy when Faster Scan is enabled.

To enable Faster Scan

1Choose Control Panels from the Apple () menu, and then choose HP Scanjet Controls from the submenu.

2In the HP Scanjet Controls dialog box, click the Lamp tab.

3Click Faster Scan.

4In the Select Time text box, type the time when you want the scanner lamp to turn on daily.

5When finished, close the HP Scanjet Controls dialog box.
