Note: The Astra 1220S SCSI scanners do not use this feature.
Instead, they will automatically turn the lamp off after about thirty
minutes of CPU inactivity. Some systems send a query signal down
the SCSI chain, or other devices on the chain may emit signals. As
long as the scanner is receiving a signal, it will not shut itself off. If
the scanner is not shutting off, wait until the computer is shut
down, or you can plug it into a dedicated surge protector and use
it’s power switch to turn the power on and off..
