[sane-devel] Linotype X-ray Scanner

[Oliver Rauch]

The lamp control is done in the scanner.
When the lamp has turned on then the lamp
needs some time to create a stable illumination.
There is no way for the backend to find out if the
lamp just has been turned on or not.

I do not think that the status of the lamp has anything to do with
the freeze of your system. May be you have a problem with the
scsi controller driver or the scsi bus or termination.

Bye
Oliver
