Scan power save mode

scan lamp. The scan lamp under the scanner glass automatically turns 

off when it is not in actual use to reduce power consumption and 

extends the life of the lamp. The lamp automatically wakes up after 

some warm-up time when you start scanning.

job is completed before it switches to the power save mode.
