I normally only switch the scanner on just before I want to use it, and
have no problems, but occasionally if I use it and then do something else,
it seems to 'go to sleep'.  If I realise, and use USBKick before trying to
use it, it's normally OK, but if I try to use it in this state, DPlngScan
normally hangs on the non-response, and from that state, there seems no way
back to normality other than a re-boot.  USBKick wakes up the scanner, and
I can stop and re-load DPlngScan, but the problem remains embedded.
