By combining the push-button functionality and Intelligent Image Process Engine (IIPE) technology, UMAX has provided users with the functionality to scan many types of reflective media with just a push of a button. The Power Saving button allows the user to power-off the scanner's fluorescent lamp without losing the connection to the computer through the USB port. To power back on the scanner's lamp, simply press the Power Saving button a second time. There is no need to refresh your computer since the USB connection through the USB port was maintained.
