I thank Bill and Bayard for their helpful replies. I think that maybe my 
question was not well formed. I wasn't asking if it would be _ok_ to leave 
the scanner on constantly, but _should_ the scanner be left on -- as a 
printer should be. Is there any grief to a scanner if it is turned off 
nightly???

I guess the only advantage is that leaving it on would ensure the it was 
warmed up optimally.  The only disadvantage is the waste of electrical 
power and thereby some harm to the environment.  But in my little town the 
power is generated locally from a mountain stream that feeds the power 
station and waters the town -- and my garden in the summer.
