It would be better but it can work without switching it off.

This scanner used the light to calibrate itself. There is a workaround with a "mirror box" like a prisma ! I tried it and you will be able to scan. But it is a horror to put the mirror box at the "right place" on the scanner. A bit of and you get big color shifts ! Andreas - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
