Ok I have set the values for the 0x6b and im still getting a completely black scan but the lamp is being turned off at the start of a scan.
When the scanner is plugged in the light is ON and when i start a scan the light is immediately turned off. The init reg is definitely sending the correct data to the scanner so I am assuming another part of the code is turning the lamp off. I took a USB sniff of the lamp being turned on and off repeatedly which I will add to the project site (http://sites.google.com/site/bez625/home) and I am certain all that the lamp needs is to set register 0x03 to the value of 0x5f or 0xdf (difference here is lampdog on and off). I have tried various other settings including setting the lamp power to off and to no avail. Please bear in mind that I have only been changing the setting in the reg_init and no where else. I cant see how I can test anything else is working until the lamp is on and why it wont turn on baffles me.
