System Timer
Set up the scanner system's timer to determine times for automatic power-up and power-down each day of the week. Optimum performance from your scanner is obtained when it has warmed up for an hour (may vary according to your working environment). Also, if you are printing from lists and there are a large number of copies, you may want to leave your system running in overnight or at weekends. When the power off time is reached, the scanner is set to standby mode (power light is red) and the WIDEsystem icon on your Active Desktop is yellow.
If a scan is being done when power off time is reached, automatic power off is delayed by 15 minutes. If the scanner is manually started, 3 hours will have to pass before it goes into standby.
