B. Lamp Lighting Circuit
1. Scanning Lamp Lighting Circuit
When the scanner is powered on, or the host computer sends a scan command, ASIC turns
the scanning lamp lighting signal (LAMP) ON to light the scanning lamp.
The reflected light from the document is focused on the light-sensitive device CCD (charge-
coupled device) via the five mirrors, lens and FARE unit.
The scanner is provided with a lamp OFF function for energy saving. A built-in timer to be set
by the device driver is counted during lamp ON and turns the scanning lamp OFF when no
scan command is sent for a certain period.
