Hi All,
Thanks for the much appreciated help. I think I am going to spend the roughly
$5 to get the upgrade as I love the stand and really like the greater advantage
with the 12v lighting. The main thing I do not like about the AC adapter is
that there is no way, at least from what I can see to turn off the lights
without unplugging it which just seems like an odd step to have to take every
time you want to use it. I have to say I was truly surprised about how
absolutely wonderful it has made the scans and how easy it is to center
everything with it to get really good scans!
Have a great rest of the day!

Subject: RE: Batteries and the StandScan Pro: A Question
Hi Christine,
I remember having a lot of trouble getting the battery in. I eventually did
it but I had to move something and, unfortunately, I don't remember what it
was. I did have a pole that was a bit loose but I squeezed it a bit with a
pair of pliers and that worked just fine and managed after a while to get the
cover closed.
Having said that, get the e-mail from the web site and write to him. He's a
great guy who will send you another one if you can't get it to work.
If he is willing to send you another one free of charge which I think he
will, take it but, if you have to spend any money at all, purchase the 12 volt
pack that works with AA batteries and will give you the light you need. The 9
volt battery pack does not really provide enough light unless you have quite
good ambient lighting. Don't waste any money on it. If you need to operate
with battery and can't use the transformer, do order the bigger battery pack.

Mine had this same issue. A friend of mine fixed it for me. She had to open
it up and reverse some component inside. It was supposedly a simple fix.

Hi All,
I just received my StandScan yesterday and am loving it with KNFBReader!
However, I am having issues with the battery pack and was curious if anyone
else has had this issue or if yours seems to work fine. Sadly, it could be that
I am simply doing something wrong that is really obvious:)! Whenever I put a 9v
battery into the pack, it does not want to close if a battery is inside of it,
nor does the battery want to hook into place like it normally would in most
devices using this type of battery. The pack closes perfectly if no battery is
in side. Also, I noticed the following. If the pack is held up so that the
switch is at the top and the opening is facing you, the right side battery
connection is loose, is this the case for others here? This one may be
defective. If so, I am assuming, that you can purchase just a replacement
battery pack, correct?
Have a great day all!
