I'm using the xsane/sane that came with Red Hat 9 with my Perfection 1650. I seem to remember when I first installed RH 9 and used the scanner that the bulb would eventually turn off to rest. Now it's just running all the time I have power applied to the scanner. Note that the scanner is working and I get good scans off it the only problem is the bulb staying on.
I have all the entries except 'epson' commented out of the dll.conf file and in my /etc/sane.d/epson.conf file I added: option warmup 30 option lOffOnEnd 1 option lampOff 240 Figuring 4 minutes is ok to off the lamp (might be a bit long), not too sure what warmup does, I guess that slowly ramps up power to the bulb over 30 seconds. From what I've read, lampOff and lOffOnEnd seem to be conflicting options, if you set lOffOnEnd to 1 (true), then closing xsane would do the sane_close which would turn the bulb off immediately, so does that override the lampOff of 240 secs? So my question is, is the above the way (epson.conf settings) to get the bulb to switch off or not? I've also added the option line for the Epson to the modules.conf file (0x04b8 and 0x011): options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0110 which doesn't affect the bulb issue I think. thanks, Mark
