FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

 
 
Question:    

When the scanner is powered on, it makes noises 

 and won’t stand ready. 

Answer: 

There are two possibilities: 

 

1) You might fail to push the scanner shipping lock to its 

“use” position.  If this is the case, pull the scanner 

status switch to its “use” position first. 

 

2) The scanner is not placed on an even, flat desktop  

 

surface.  This may cause the scanner to malfunction. 

 

Question:   

The scanner is powered on, but the lamp does not 

 light up.

 

Answer: 

The lamp is probably out of order.  Contact your local 

dealer or distributor to replace the lamp. For your 

information, the average life time of the lamp is about 

15,000 hours and the operating temperature for the 

scanner is between 10°C(50°F)

 

and

 

40°C(104°F).
