[sane-devel] scan problem with the Mustek A3 USB
Hi, I am new to the list. Why does my email not come through to the list? Do you know who I could ask concerning my scan problem with the Mustek A3 USB?? Thank you, Aribert Deckers Hello, I have a problem with a Mustek A3 USB for scanning xray film: Using SANE for scanning the transparency lid for scanning xrays is sending light into the scanner, but the lamp in the scanner is not turned off whilst scanning, so the xray film is lit from 2 sides and the scans are very bad in quality. Even those parts of the xray film which have NO silver on it, do not become white, but have a shady gray. Trying to scan with Windows 98 or Windows 2000, using the original driver from Mustek, is a desaster as the scan area is automatically cut off, so that the scan does not cover the full surface of the glas area but only a stripe of, say, 10 cm or whatever the insane thing decides to take at the very moment. I found no way of shutting off this automatism. The scan result is a plain mess: varying of contrast and light will only change from a striped picture which looks like a real bad foto copy with a defect drum to a white background with sharp black spots on it. BUT: with Windows the lamp is shut off! The scanner itself is a shame: the scans are not sharp: if the paper in a reflective scan lifts of a mm from the glas, the picture is unsharp... The cause for this seems to be the technique used by Mustek. The more expensive scanners seem to have a better hardware. The problem with the sharpness is not related to the lighting. As the sharpness is not my main concern right now, I only need a way to turn off the lamp for scanning the xray films. The latest (and still very old) SANE linux driver I downloaded, but the result is the same as before. Please note: The scanner is a Mustek A3 USB, not a Mustek A3 USB 600, 1200 or whatever. What can be done with the SANE driver to work correctly? Thank you, Aribert Deckers

Your mail gets thru just fine now. Unfortunately, the gt68xx backend is unmaintained, so unless you've got some C skills or can interest or pay a developer, you might be out of luck. allan On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 11:25 AM, mustek at ariplex.com wrote: Hi, I am new to the list.

I wonder why no-one ever noticed the missing switch for the lamp. I am for sure not the first one to try scanning xray films.

I got that too before: sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org... Deferred: 451 Could not complete sender verify callout That is just aggressive spam checking. Solution was to set in muttrc: set envelope_from=yes On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 10:19:10AM -0700, mustek at ariplex.com wrote: m. allan noah wrote: Your mail gets thru just fine now.

There must be some Nazis-admins who defame me and/or my providers. Right now an unknown idiot abuses known email addresses of my domain ariplex.com to send out spam. An other guy put up a new domain and mirrors a domain of an acquaintance of mine. The calls it seo-improver as he knows that this word makes search engines react neurotic and sink your ranking. That is just aggressive spam checking. Solution was to set in muttrc: set envelope_from=yes If I would use linux, perhaps. But I use DOS. My main system still is working with DOS and I am quite happy about it as it is my fastest system and nearly 100 percent foolproof. I use Eudora 1.54 on top of Win 3.1 An absolutely sober and clean working surface. It would have been good if there were a note about this email address checking. I found no hint and had no idea. The bad thing is that I wrote the very same email to persons in the list - and none of them replied. Aribert

Part A: There are servers in the web who maintain lists of spammers. But anyone can defame you there. And the maintainers do not care about complaints. They do not take you out. Part B: Even institutions like German Landesregierungen use the lists of those servers. Which means that you as an ordinary citizen want to use electronic mail as a means of communication in legal affairs (as is wanted by politics), your email will not get there. Complaints at the Landesregierungen will be brushed off. So, anyone who wants to do substantial damage to you, defames you at those spammer list servers, and you cannot do anything against it. I receive hundreds of spams per day. In bad times up to 1000. But none of these spam mails is as bad as an important mail from me or to me which does not get through. People should realize that the anti-spam measures impose a potential deadly threat. Imagine Emails concerning important medical matters. If they do not get through, a person might die. So, the paranoia against spam in several ways ends up in Nazi-dom. I do not think that we need that again.

It is not hours, its is days. And there was not a single email bounce... Aribert
