I have a Visioneer 6200USB and am interested in trying to write a backend for it, or at least providing as much information about the model as possible.
I've taken the scanner apart to look at chip information, however I don't know which of the chips are important to know about. The board that has the power and USB connectors on it has a metal plate over two chips. This plate makes no contact with anything and is soldered into place, so as far as I can tell it's just there to be annoying. The most advanced chip (one with most pins coming out) on the PCB that I can see has the following information: "EICI10440A E48A3-000 0019" One of the chips underneath the metal plate says ESIC. I can try to remove the plate, but I am not entirely confident that I could do it without damaging something. I have pictures of each of the 3 boards that I found inside if that would help. I attempted to get a picture of the chips underneath the metal plate, but I wasn't very successful. I can try again when I have better lighting, I think I'll be able to read the information off of one of them. I'm mostly looking for some guidance, as I have no idea how to proceed with this. I was going to try to contact Visioneer, but they don't list any email addresses, and their only contact phone number for support is a 900 number (toll). The output from sane-find-scanner -v -v is: <device descriptor of 0x0461/0x0345 at 001:005 (Primax USB Scanner)> bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.00 bDeviceClass 0 bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x0461 idProduct 0x0345 bcdDevice 0.01 iManufacturer 2 (Primax) iProduct 1 (USB Scanner) iSerialNumber 0 () bNumConfigurations 1 <configuration 0> bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 32 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 () bmAttributes 64 (Self-powered) MaxPower 48 mA <interface 0> <altsetting 0> bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 16 bInterfaceSubClass 1 bInterfaceProtocol 0 iInterface 0 () <endpoint 0> bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x81 (in 0x01) bmAttributes 2 (bulk) wMaxPacketSize 64 bInterval 0 ms bRefresh 0 bSynchAddress 0 <endpoint 1> bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x02 (out 0x02) bmAttributes 2 (bulk) wMaxPacketSize 64 bInterval 0 ms bRefresh 0 bSynchAddress 0 Thanks, -Kyle Dickerson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
