Brother device 'cleaning'

Jon The idea of a multifunction is for it to be left on at all times. It's just a scanner, not a printer/copier. In any case, I find it silly unless you are using the thing every day, and I wouldn't think that the majority of users do that. Jon |

Also , when his printer or your scanner goes to sleep mode, it usually draw less than that of a kids nightlight. |

Yes, but every time you power up or reboot the computer, it has to go through it's motions once again. I have had this scanner for five years; that would be about 2,200 times the little motor moves the scanbar back and forth, and the light comes on. Compare this to the dozen or two instances in which I have used the scanner, and it is pretty easy to see that I have saved a lot of wear and tear on the unit by leaving it unplugged when it is not in use.
