That's true for all gt6816-based Mustek CCD scanners. The Plustek 1248U which is also CCD and uses a similar design needs the power supply, however (24V) to be visible. > Some CIS scanners don't even need any power source except USB. Seems to be true for all gt68xx based CIS scanners. Still I don't see any problem with the autoloading of the scanner module. Bye, Henning
