Hi, as the scanner is a 1260, you use the Plustek backend. If you specify the warmup option to 0, then the backend won't do any warmup, if yopu specify lampOff to 0, then then lamp should not be switched off... You have various options to control the lamp settings, see either manpage sane-plustek or the comments in plustek.conf..
If this stuff does not work as told in the description, then I should look for a bug so far ;-) Cheers Gerhard
