[sane-devel] Epson V700 Scan resolution max 3200 ?

 Hi,

 I bought an Epson Perfection V700, it worked out of the box with Sane.
 However there are some issues to which I can't find an answer.

 The scanner should be capable of scanning at 4800dpi and 6400dpi, the
 maximum resolution supported by sane is 3200dpi.

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.

Hope this helps,

[sane-devel] Samsung saned_wrapper

2006-12-21 Thread henrik.ug...@hem.utfors.se
Hi!

I've read this http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#98 in the FAQ 
about Samsung scanners.

I've tried this workaround but it won't work. When trying to connect 
with telnet I get:
Trying 192.168.1.2...
Connected to 192.168.1.2.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

It disconnects immedeately!

I've tried to edit the saned_wrapper file to:

#!/bin/sh
 #
 # Call saned with stderr redirected, to avoid strange crash
 exec /usr/sbin/saned -d 2 /var/log/saned.log

and then run it from command line and then it works just fine!

What should I do to get it to work with inetd?

[sane-devel] anyone dealt with any chips from Jeilin Technologies?

 Hi,
 
 Greetings from gphoto. We just got someone with an Argus DC-1512e write in 
 to us. The camera reports itself as 0x0979:0x0227 and from mfgr. Jeilin.
 
 I went to the website of Jeilin, and they also claim to make scanner 
 chips. Thus, just in case I end up getting involved in supporting this 
 camera, I thought I might check up whether the scanner chips are known, 
 whether any of them are using funny compression algorithms, that kind of 
 thing.

Hello Theodore,

Not seen any report/message yet of a scanner with a Jeilin chip, if one
knows one, i like to add it to my list of scanner chips.
