[sane-devel] Epson Perfection V700 PHOTO/GT-X900 scan size

I have a Epson Perfection V700 PHOTO (a.k.a. GT-X900). I can make scans with this setup, but I think the software is limiting the scan size of this scanner. Under transparency unit of xsane the maximum geometry is 5.9 x 9.7 in, where it ought to be 8 x 10 in. ?Under the XP bundled software (FineReader 6.0 Sprint), I can get 8x10 in transparency scans (full contact sheets) from this scanner. Under flatbed of xsane the geometry is 8.5 in x 11.7 in, which is correct. How do I look into how to increase the scan area under transparency? ?I obtained this unit primarily to make contact sheets of BW negatives, which require an 8x10 scan area. It looks like this is done in epson2-ops.c in function e2_discover_capabilities. There is a block for the GT-X800. Unfortunately, it looks like one might need to do Windows snooping to figure out what might have to be done for the GT-X900. Regards, Gernot
[sane-devel] Ubuntu - Xsane - Canon LIDE50
Could someone help please. This is all working but any photos scanned are very poor quality. I don't understand the colour settings because I have never needed to adjust them for other scanners. The scanner works perfectly with Windows and the Canon drivers. No adjustments are needed. What do I need to tweak to improve the quality using Xsane? -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[sane-devel] Epson Perfection 3170 on 64 bit
I guess I qualify as an old hand :) What I usually do is write RGB in the upper left corner of a sheet of paper, each letter in the correct color. Then I take a low resolution scan of that corner in each color mode that the windows driver supports. Log that with this tool: http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/UsbSnoop/ and make sure to clear the log after each scan. Then cat each of your logs thru the attached script, like so: cat usbsoop-color.log | perl spike4.pl usbsnoop-color.out Then we take a look at those cleaned files, and see if we can make heads or tails of it. The epjitsu backend from sane might be of some use... allan On Sat, Apr 17, 2010 at 8:36 AM, Kirk Reiser kirk at braille.uwo.ca wrote: So, what are the chances of a few folks using the usb capture software and getting the command set for the 3170 scanner and then writing a backend? ?I don't have any windows boxes but would gladly help sift the captured data and writing the driver. ?I suppose another alternative might be to disassemble the current driver and work from that but I don't have much experience doing that. ?I do have the 3170 scanner so am willing to help anyway possible.

[sane-devel] Canon DR-2020U incompatible with canon_dr
Hi all! We recently aquired a Canon DR-2020U scanner and I tried to test it with a recent sane git-snapshot. It compiled without problems and I tried to use it with the canon_dr backend. This failed. Allan Noah told me that this model uses a very different control method than the other DR scanners and thus the canon_dr backend cannot work. I made a scan with Windows XP and logged the USB Commands with USBSnoop. This logfile is available for download here (ca. 4.3 MB): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3879521/CANON-DR2020U_UsbSnoop.log.bz2 Maybe this is helpful for somebody interested in creating a suitable backend for this scanner. I would be glad to be able to use this scanner with Linux. Regards, fabz

Please send your updated translation to the list (please compress if it is large). Correcting the typo in genesys is ok, but we also have to correct all existing translations too. allan On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 11:42 AM, Yuri Chornoivan yurchor at ukr.net wrote: Hi! ../backend/genesys.c:5696 Disabel use of a software adaptative algorithm to generate lineart instead of relying on hardware lineart must be Disable use of a software adaptive algorithm to generate lineart instead of relying on hardware lineart Can this be corrected before the release?

This decodes fine assuming genesys gl842 or gl843 protocol and at least the frontend registers and status registers are at the right place. This machine has a register space going up to (at least) register 0xff, so it is not one of the currently supported chip versions. Also, my script finds at least one unknown control transfer.

Ok, user is a member of scanner group. I have a Canon FB630U scanner
that under sane, but is terribly, terribly slow (go take a nap when
scanning an 8.5x11).
