Re: [sane-devel] What does basic support mean on the supported devices page for Plustek Opticbook 3600?

Thank you very much. for the latest information. FWIW, the support status of the scanner you mentioned has *not* changed. What is the reason that make a device support to basic? The lack of time or the lack of documentation? In another word, if I tell to my user that his scanner works, if some feature is missing, could we collaborate together to implement them or is it impossible?

The meaning of "basic" and other status classifiers are explained in the Legend at the bottom of the page. There's a link near the top, BTW. > What does basic support for such device mean ? basic means it works at least in the most important modes but quality is not perfect. > Is the page I've found correct to check if an hardware is compatible > with Sane? The page is not wrong but a bit out-of-date. Have a look at https://sane-project.org/sane-backends.html for the latest information. FWIW, the support status of the scanner you mentioned has *not* changed.
