Scanning Active Screens with PIXMA MX320

TwinSteel — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 03:18:51 GMT

Occasionally I find myself needing to scan the screen of an active mobile device, a smartphone or a tablet (that won't allow a screenshot to be taken), but if the high intensity Scanning light is on - there is so much glare off of the device glass display that the content is completely washed out.

Is there any mfgr maintenance/setup code that can be entered by the keypad that will disable the scanning lamps but let the cameras to get a scan of the device screen ?
