Hi all,
I don't think so. However, if you keep the thing on, all you have to
do is press the horizontal button at the top of all the other oval
buttons on the panel. That's the restart button. It takes about a
minute or so for it to warm up. It's the only thing I don't like about
the machine because I "want my mapo and I want it now!". <grinning>
You probably have absolutely no idea what I'm quoting. Let me explain.
Some sixty years ago, there was a brand of instant oatmeal called Mapo,
pronounced may-po. It was maple flavored. The commercial on TV
featured a bratty little girl who whined at her mother, "I want my
Mapo, and I want it now!".
The behavior supposedly saves wear and tear on the machine. The long,
horizontal button restarts it and reconnects it. Kurzie will say,
"Scanning please wait", and it will start whirring after about a minute or so.

Hi, Folks,
I recently bought an Opticbook 3900, and I really like it.
However, it has one quirk. When I haven’t used it for a while (no more than 30 minutes) the scanner disconnects; I hear the descending tone that a USB Disconnect makes.
I have started simply turning off the scanner and turning it on before using Openbook.
I just wonder if anyone with that scanner has encountered the same issue and if there is something in settings to keep the disconnect from occurring.
Thanks.
Lori C.
