Status
During scans the green (internal disk drive) section of the LED next to the power switch on the
Control Unit will remain on continuously, while the red (external USB) section will blink very briefly
several times per second (may not be noticeable) as the software polls the camera for its position and
status. During prescans the LED will be a solid red color as the prescan image is transfered at high
speed to the host computer. When both the green and red portions of this LED are on, the LED will
appear yellow.

and will return to a flashing green when the scan is finished.
