Extend lamp time out
When selected, this setting keeps the scanner lamp and the XPA light source (if it is connected) turned on beyond the default time out. This feature provides the following benefits:
reduces scanning time by eliminating the lamp warm up that is | |
| typically required between scans |
keeps the XPA light source on beyond the default time out so | |
| you can use it as a light table for viewing 35 mm slides |
When cleared, the scanner lamp and the XPA light source (if connected) time out and turn off after a period of inactivity.
