Operating the Scanner
Performing the power-on self-test
The power-on test is a quick self-checking mechanism that the
scanner carries out after you turn it on.
This is what happens after the scanner is turned on:
1 POWER indicator on the front panel of the scanner lights up.
2 READY indicator beside the POWER indicator flashes
briefly. After a 30-second warm-up period, the scanner carries
out a self-test, with the scanner carriage moving down then up
to the sensor home position. If no problems are detected, the
READY indicator stays lit.
Note: If there are problems with the POWER and READY indicators, see the
Troubleshooting section in the Appendix. You may need repairs on your
scanner.
3 The fluorescent lamp inside the scanner should be on too by
this time. The lamp should never go off while the scanner is
on.
Note: If the scanner lamp doesn't come on, starts to flicker, or gets dim, see
the section Replacing the scanner lamp at the end of this chapter. You may
need repairs on your scanner.
