A960 "Scanner Bulb Warming Up"

Is this normal?  Sometimes when I go to scan something, I get a message on the screen that the "scanner bulb is warming up".  It seems do this every now and then, but it only takes 5-6 seconds, and then the scanner is off to the races...Also, it seems to only do that when I have something on the flat bed scanner.  Meaning, not when I feed it through the ADF.

Comments from anyone?  Has anyone else seen this?

    jefflloyd,

    Thank you for visiting the Dell Community Forum.

    This should not be a problem; the scanner bulb will have to warm up if it is not at full operating temperature.

    I bought the A960 to replace an older scanner (and fax).  The old scanner had to warm up as well, it shouldn't be a problem. (And the A960 is much faster at warming than my old scanner.) The bulb cools if not used in awhile to save energy.
