 Hi

 I have a Lexmark X1130 AIO scanner-printer and Im glad to see there is a
 backend for this device. Ive tested it and the results are not so bad as
 the opinions in the sane page suggest.

  It needs some work with colors (maybe there is some way of calibrating it
 in Linux) and a couple of minor issues, but the average impression is quite
 good. Ive prepared a page with my tests for your information. You can find
 it at http://butterbrot.googlepages.com/lexmarkscanner

 I hope it will be useful for someone. I intend to improve it with more
 documentation in the future.

 Thanks a lot for your great work!!

Hello,

the current version of the lexmark backend doesn't od calibration and 
has 
fixed size area. I am currently working on an experimental version (which 
allready work for the Dell A920) that brings color calibration. However, to 
tune it for the X1135, I'd need an usbsniff log recorded under windows. There 
are a couple of pointer on how to do it at 
http://stef.dev.free.fr/sane/outils .

What I need would be the log of a simple color preview at 75 dpi. The 
log is 
several MB but compresses well. You can either pu it on your site or send it 
to me.

Regards,
Stef

Subject: [sane-devel] Flatbed scanner that can scan to the edge?

Hallo Felix,

there's a device by Plustek called OpticBook3600:
http://www.plustek.de/Home/Produkte/Buchscanner_und_Vorlesegerat/OpticBook_3600/body_opticbook_3600.htm

- it's not a good-quality device (cheap production, lamp doesn't always work)
- it's more expensive than other flatbed-scanners
- it used to be unsupported by SANE (but you can have a look if this changed)

- BUT: it scans right to one edge. Plustek claims to even have patented this 
invention...

best,
Jens

 I'm looking for a simple flatbed with the following features:
 
 * Supported by SANE (of course)
 
 * Scan size: = A4
 
 * It can scan to the edge!
 
 * Sufficient depth of field to be able to scan pages from a book once in
   a while.  Too my knowledge, this excludes scanners with only LED
   illumination.
 
 I currently own an EPSON Perfection 3490 Photo, and it has all the
 features that I want, except it cannot scan to the edge:
 
   ++
   | ++ |
   | |scan| |
   | |area| |
   | || |
   | ++ |
   ++
   glass plate
 
 Thus one has to position pages in the middle of the glass plate which
 1. is not very precise, and 2. is time consuming.  I'd like to know why
 EPSON made such a stupid design decision.  It's very very inconvenient
 when scanning documents.  If you don't believe me, then have a look at
 the documentation from EPSON (Placing Documents or Photos, section 3):
