 Hi Stef,
I know how to program in C, but I know nothing about how a scanner
 works, in any case, I have an hp2400c which has been doing a great job as a
 brick, if you would be so kind so as to send me those scripts I may give it
 a try to write a backend for that scanner.
 thanks,

 carlos.

Hello,

here they are. Don't hesitate to ask further questions on the list.

Regards,
Stef

 I can somehow understand that it happens at 2400 dpi. In fact I think 
 that 2400 dpi won't ever work and should be disabled, or replaced by 
 1800 dpi, which should be ok.

Please wait until I test it out. And I suppose you meant 1600 dpi (which
is a multiple of 800) instead of 1800 dpi (and Patrick wanted to say
3200 dpi instead of 3600). AFAIK our scanner's maximum resolution is
3200 dpi. If I'm right, the PF 3490 has a 800 dpi of linear CCD
resolution, higher ones are 'faked' by offsetted sensor elements. In
this case multiples of 800 should work.

 I'm a bit surprised about the effect at 3600 dpi. Can you send me an 
 image which shows the effect?
 

I did not have any problems at 3200 dpi. And before the CVS change, the
only problem was the now solved interlacing phenomenon.

 The code is in CVS now, it should show up in the snapshots tomorrow - 
 please test.

I've tested the code with TPU and 3200 dpi (where I noticed a slight
vertical banding at high contrast enhancements before the code change).
It works well, at least I hear the scanner doing the calibration and the
resulting image is better than without (banding almost invisible).

Ah yes, and 16 bpp colour at 3200 dpi works equally well!

Thanks for your efforts!

PS: today evening, I'm planning to run some thorough tests. Which
resolution/bit depth/size combinations should I try?




[sane-devel] Mail Setup Problem - No Help

2005-11-17 Thread Thomas H. George
I was unable to reply directly Jaun Jose Pablos response as the L
instruction for Mutt responded No mailing list found.  I have added
the mailing list to my .muttrc file and can respond to my own posting
with the L instruction so I gather this is because something is missing
in his response.

This said, his response was no help whatsoever.  I had already read the
sane-xsane-setup-mail document which only states that I should put my
email address in the From field.  That is exactly what I had done.  The
problem I reported was that this didn't work.

[sane-devel] Genius: ColorPage-Slim 1200 USB2 support

2005-11-17 Thread Juan Jose Pablos
This is what is needed for this scanner to be detected.

It is a copy from the cannon scanner, and I would like to find out which 
values should requiered for this to work, please help!

I confirm the 3200 dpi works well for me, and there isn't any 
interlacing problems. I apologise for my previous message which was not 
enough clear.

In fact, it seem's that if I do a 2400 dpi scan which does not work, 
then the following 3200 dpi scan are bad. But it works again if I 
restart xscanimage.

But for me the 16 bit depth doesn't work. If I try to open the file with 
gimp, the following message is displayed :

PNM : invalid intensity maximum value

Hello, all,
I posted a day or 2 ago, but never heard a response at all, so
am wanting to make sure my message made it.

Since it seems I may not be able to get my Lexmark to work,
perhaps I should bring up the problem I was having that caused me to go
get the Lexmark in the first place, and see if someone might see
something I missed.
I had an HP that was working fine with sane, but it suddenly
started having problems a few weeks ago.  I'd go to scan, and scanimage
would respond with, no sane devices found.  When I would unplug the
thing from the computer (and sometimes the power), scanimage -L would
list it, but then I'd get a read error during device i/o.  So I went out
and bought a brand new USB cable.  Same problem.  Reinstalling sane
didn't help either.  So I figured my HP was dead.  Is it dead, or is
there something else I should try?  Being blind, I need *a* scanner to
read my printed material.  I'll be satisfied if I can at least get one
of the scanners working.  I'm not enough of a programmer to write a
driver, or I probably would have by now.  What can I do to get scanning
back?  As it is now, I have to hike 2 blocks away every time I want to
scan anything.

Thanks again,
Terrence

ah, ok. That makes more sense. I guess I'll disable 2400 dpi to make 
sure the error doesn't occur.

 But for me the 16 bit depth doesn't work. If I try to open the file
 with gimp, the following message is displayed :

That's a gimp problem. AFAIK gimp still can't handle more than 8 
bits/color.
