Nikon - leave scanner on all day?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread |
Hello.I've recently added an LS-30 to my SCSI chain. Might any harm be done by having the scanner turned on for extended periods?
Thanks

Well like anything-it will warm itself up circuit wise-and drains natural resources (albeit about 15 watts)-and it will calibrate the CCD (not light source) every 15 minutes or so.The LED's will not burn out or change characteristics.
So it is safe-but a waste of energy (as I have all the lights on in my hotel room....)

Fair enough...I'll turn it off when I pry myself from the Mac.The scanner has been working quite well. The Digital ICE feature alone is worth the price of admission.
