C35 scanner

Or just fix it?
That's like asking to have a refrigerator freezer combo but just turn off the freezer part.
It does not work like that.

The thing is that we already replaced the scanner lamp 2 times in 6 months,now will be the third time,the printer itself is in good condition thats why i wanted a way to disable it.

Just to double check myself I went and disconnected the ADF on my Taskalfa 3551ci and it turned on just fine... Then I realized noone ever said ADF and my assumptions are shameful

M94 not at all as far as I'm concerned

No just fix the belt or ribbon cable.

Did you tried what allan suggested?

Look at the bottom of the ribbon cable for wear.
Been scraping of the isolation and soldering the tracks.

Then there could be discoloration on the reference patch.

Also I use to lift the front of the scanner rails with shims to bring the scanner closer to the glass with about 1mm that helped a lot.
Would recommend trying that. Shim it with paper on the far side its got a shaft and the near side an angle rail. Just raise that a little.
Forgot about that.

Lucky i don't have to struggle with these machines any more.

Sure they should have released firmware by now that will stop the lamp from running all the time...
