Correct. I think you should even be able to scan at 12800dpi but that may only be for the secondary scan direction (the long edge), so that gives 6400x12800dpi. > scanimage reports: > > Options specific to device `epkowa:libusb:001:007' > > <cut>... > --resolution 50..3200dpi [300] > Sets the resolution of the scanned image > > <cut>... > > Is this a bug or is there a technical reason why this is the maximum > resolution? I don't like saying this but this is an arbitrary limitation of the epkowa backend (and the iscan frontend). By the way, the fact that you can't set primary and secondary scan resolution independently is another arbitrary limitation. I haven't tried this, but maybe Allessandro's revamped epson2 backend just might support it.
