[sane-devel] Network scanners

I am interested, as we have Canon iR2200 copy/printer/scanner (huge) machine in my work, and I would like to know if it can be accessed from linux (or SANE in general). I think that the question is whether a SANE driver (i.e. a SANE backend) is really needed to use it with Linux or whether one can use this device also stand-alone. Normally one can scan directly on a big and fat network printer scanner copier and specify scan resolution and image file format (e.g. tiff, PDF, ...) and all the other scanning options directly at the device and in particular one can specify an e-mail address to which the device will send the scanned image file so that one will receive the scanned image as a mail attachment according to what was specified as image file format. This way of operating is usually much more convenient for the user because when you would use a SANE backend you would have to specify all the scanning parameters on your workstation by using a SANE frontend. But your workstation is normally far away from the network scanner device so that you would have to place a sheet in the network scanner and post a big red note on the network scanner that you are currently using it for scanning so that others know what is going on and don't remove your sheet, then walk back to your workstation to specify the scanning parameters and start the scan and finally you would have to walk again to the network scanner to fetch your sheet and remove your note and walk back to your workstation. Of course this way of operating is much better for the physical health of the company staff ;-) Yes, you are absolutely right! Operating scanner as you described is absolutely silly ans useless. Originally I thought about starting SANE (through a frontend) and telling it that images will be received from network scanner (of given type) sitting on given address. Then go to scanner and scan images one after another (with scanning parameters set on the scanner, as you wrote). SANE will wait and receive the scanned images as they go through the scanner. When I return back to the computer, there will be images opened in the frontent, ready to be saved to disc (or already saved in some temporary location ...). OK, there are some issues about stealing scanned images to others, when I would start SANE and another person starts scanning earlier than me. The question also is, is such solution is possible (may not be supported by network scanner machines). I ask, as just recently I tried to scan something, but I was not able to get images from the scanner (e.g. through e-mail, as you wrote). It seems that this e-mailing is not configured from some reasons, but I am not able to change it. I enden by deleting the images from scanner and asked someone to scan it for me to another day. I know that people using Windows have an application which allows a download of scanned images from the machine. But I do not know details about the app - should I try to get some more info? I was just thinking, if when it is possible to access scanner from Windows, if it is also possible (or planned) to access it from linux in the same (or preferrably better ;-)) way. If such possibility is still as silly as you described earlier, just write it to me and forget it ;-) we have a big xerox scanner with a harddrive in it. when you scan, it stores the images on disk, and you reach them thru a webserver that runs on the machine. fujitsu's small network scanner seems to require a windows server running a daemon to receive the images. other machines use email. there is no reason that these things could not also use linux, but you would need to do a bit of network sniffing, and it would be very different for each machine type. allan -- The truth is an offense, but not a sin
[sane-devel] test backend
In the test backend, the only option with cap SANE_CAP_AUTOMATIC also has cap SANE_CAP_INACTIVE. This means that it is impossible to test sane_set_auto. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Regards Jeff

you would have to inspect the backend to see if there is any code to deal with that option being in automatic mode. if so, turn it on. allan On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 9:58 AM, Jeffrey Ratcliffe jeffrey.ratcliffe at gmail.com wrote: In the test backend, the only option with cap SANE_CAP_AUTOMATIC also has cap SANE_CAP_INACTIVE.

[sane-devel] sane-devel Digest, Vol 39, Issue 7
From: Bob Dronski dron...@gmail.com Thanks so much for all your help. I'm thrilled to say that the scanner works after a new build of both libusb and Sane! There are a couple of issues that still occur, but basically, it works. Great! The next question is: was the USB PID in the mp730 code or the imageclass code? -Dennis (if there's nothing else, I'm going back to lurk mode)
[sane-devel] sane-devel Digest, Vol 39, Issue 7
Bob, If you got the scanner working with PID in file pixma_mp730.c, could you do again a test with the PID in file pixma_imageclass.c to check if MF4150 can also be supported as MF4140 is, this would make the backend much more ergonomic for those scanners.

[sane-devel] pixma MP810 working with sane
Jean Nicolas, Dunno if you followed latest discussions for MP810, improvements have been made for this PIXMA in Sane pixma backend, and most issues are solved. Would you mind getting the latest CVS and giving a try, we still have some doubts with the 2400 dpi and 4800 dpi scan modes. Nicolas Le lundi 18 ao?t 2008 ? 13:24 +, Jean-Nicolas Gautier a ?crit : Hello, I bought a pixma MP810 one year ago. It works but I have the problem with color alignment : yellow, magenta and cyan layers are shifted. If any developper want informations about MP810 working with sane, don't hesitate to ask me, I'll be happy to help you. Currently, I use sane-backends from CVS, updated few weeks ago. Thank you for the work you've done with sane project. J.-N. Gautier -- Please, consider your environmental responsibility before printing this email.
[sane-devel] pixma MP810 working with sane
Concerning the vertical lines at 4800/2400 dpi for MP810, I'm wondering whether: - this is a normal behavior of the scanner (which would mean that it has to be compensated by the backend), - or if it's an alignment problem of the sensor, the lines corresponding each one to a particular sensor cell, but only at high dpi, the sensor uses all its cells to scan. I think it may be interesting that other MP810 users could give feedack on the current CVS backend, if possible, that's why I copy also the sane-devel list Yes I hope we get some feedback, as there was at least one other MP810 user asking for the drivers. I think it's normal behaviour, but if not, I need to know before the warranty runs out! Do you know if there's an alignment procedure for MP810 ? This is usually the case when you get a new scanning device. There is a printer-head alignment procedure but nothing for the scanner. Have you the possibility to test the Canon Windows driver, and see if it behaves the same ? I borrowed a WinXP laptop and installed the latest drivers downloaded from Canon Europe and found that they only support up tp 1200dpi. If I was a Windows user I would feel very cheated by Canon about this as they advertise 4800x4800dpi optical on the tech specs! In fact I might send a message to Canon support about this and see what they say. Last point concerning the white lines at the bottom: this is simply due to the color planes shifting, as the backend algorithm to shift the color planes uses only that portion of the image that will contain data for the 3 colors. The bottom of the scanned image contains 2 and 1 color zones only, due to the color shift. So this is a little limitation for pixma CCD sensors, you must select a scan zone a little bit bigger at the bottom, then remove the image bottom white zone, that is padded on purpose by the backend to keep the image size the frontend expects. ok I understand, it's not great but I guess there is nothing that can be done about it. Thanks for all the help so far, at least now the scanner is useable from 75 to 1200dpi, which is very good already! Now I only whish that Mandriva would include the latest CVS in their main-backports branch to keep installed packages tidy, but I guess that would be to bleeding edge for them. Best regards, Arne

In fact I might send a message to Canon support about this and see what they say. Same situation for more recent models like MP610, MP970, ... Canon drivers offer only up to 600 dpi or 1200 dpi, far less than the 4800 dpi advertised ! Never tried to contact Canon about that, but should be worth doing it. AFAIK, only Sane pixma backend can currently drive those PIXMAs at such high dpi, not Canon's drivers.

Following Allan's suggest, should be easy to implement, I'll propose you soon a newer pixma_mp150.c file which should solve this issue, I'll keep you posted. Nicolas

The output looks identical, with no additional space at the top. What is the bgcolor option mentioned in the --help -d output? when overscan is enabled, the x and y values of the scan area can extend slightly larger than the page width, and the scanner outputs a few mm of the background before the top of the page hits the sensor. if your machine has a white background stripe behind the sensor, try scanning a darker sheet and see if the white background shows above. the bgcolor option is only for scanners which have a servo driven black/white background in the adf, such as the fi-5120C - the sleeptimer option works, but does not put the scanner as such into sleep mode.

[sane-devel] LiDE 90 Calibration
guillaume.gastebois at free.fr schrieb: Hello, It seems that in Windows snoop calibration of LiDE 90 is done with half CCD even if scanning is in full sensor resolution. Is it so in sane ? If not, is it usefull to implement it ? Where to do that ? To be on the safe side, all calibration steps are using the same settings(minus motor control, but that is hardly calibratable) as the final scan. This is to keep all possibly hidden parameters the same. Theoretically, it would be okay to just keep the calibration for one half and one full calibration setting, since that is the only setting that may change the sensor characteristics. It should be possible to calculate the rest. If the function that scales from full resolution to half resolution is known(for example the average), one could theoretically calculate that, too, but if it is not the average, this may get complicated. (My scanner sort of adds adjacent pixels.) The LED, offset and gain calibration steps can(should be able to) work with any resolution, only the shading calibration needs to be adjusted to fill the correct locations of the shading calibration data set. The former steps can be found in genesys_gl841.c. The shading calibration is in genesys.c: * genesys_flatbed_calibration controls all calibration steps * sanei_genesys_init_shading_data clears the shading data. not strictly needed, both chips have a setting to ignore the shading data. * dev-model-cmd_set-init_regs_for_shading sets up the scanning parameters(call into the chip specific vtable). * genesys_dark_shading_calibration * genesys_dummy_dark_shading * genesys_white_shading_calibration * genesys_dark_white_shading_calibration Different methods to acquire dark and bright samples to be stored in dev-dark_average_data and dev-white_average_data. * genesys_send_shading_coefficient finally calculates and sends the shading coefficients. look in the CCD_CANONLIDE90 case for the actual code doing the calculations. This has not seen a lot of changes after i got it to work. This uses the data stored in dev-dark_average_data and dev-white_average_data. The main changes needed would be in the init_regs_for_scanning and genesys_send_shading_coefficient functions. The rest should work with that. This could be very useful when the calibration cache code gets commited, because it would reduce the number of calibrations to at most 2. (Currently it is in the experimental repository, and i could not get myself to add support in the gl646-part, yet.) Regards Guillaume Regards, Pierre

Hi Sane folks, I'm the project lead for Gutenprint (printer drivers). We have a user who's having trouble using Gutenprint with the Epson RX685 using its OEM driver on Macintosh OS X; should we recommend that people use Sane on OS X with this printer (and other similar printers) in conjunction with Gutenprint? Is there any special advice we should give them in this regard? Does scanning work over a network in the kind of configuration outlined below? I have an RX580 that works fine with Sane (on Linux); unfortunately, our OS X expert doesn't have one of these multi-function devices.

It now prints OK. So where do we go from here? Unfortunately, there is no one perfect solution. If you keep the Epson rx685 on the print server, you will have to choose whether you want to use it as a scanner or a printer and only have the appropriate software installed. The other choice is to attach the Epson rx685 directly to a Mac computer via USB and use only the Epson supplied software for the printer and the scanner. I think you will be able to have other computers share the device without problems. That does mean, however, that the Mac the rx685 is connected to must be turned on and awake for other computers to access the device. Regardless of where or how you insert the multifunction machine in your network, you cannot use the Gutenprint drivers along with the Epson Scan software. I should note that this is a common problem we see with multifunction devices -- at least in Mac OS X. Part of the problem is the nature of the beast. The other part of the problem is that most manufacturers write printer drivers that only work when the device is directly connected to the Mac computer via USB.

Hope this further information helps, Thank you for the very good description of your installation. I do not have an Epson multifunction device or print server to test. I will do my best to try and troubleshoot your problem. From your description, I think that the Epson scanning software is interfering with the printing function. Typically, scanning software will listen on the system or probe the scanner for any indication that a scan request has been made. My *guess* is that when you try to print with the Gutenprint drivers, the Epson Scan software detects the activity and asks what it is supposed to do. The Gutenprint drivers know nothing about this and cannot send the scanning software the proper notice to let it control the printer. That having been said, let us see if we can get printing to work or prove that the scanning software is interfering. First, please double check to make sure that you have the printer set up correctly as illustrated in the Edimax User Manual. The printer should be set up to use the LPD protocol witht he printer address being 192.168.1.227 and the Queue Name of lpt1. Please also verify that you have chosen the correct Gutenprint driver. If you go to the web interface for the printing system at http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/ , you should see your printer listed. You should see the Device URI listed as Device URI: lpd://192.168.1.100/lpt1 If all those settings have been verified and you are still experiencing the stalled printing and diagnostic error from the Epson scan software, try uninstalling the Epson Scan driver. There is an Uninstall option when you run the installer. After you have removed the Epson Scan software, restart your computer. Try printing with the Gutenprint drivers again. Are you then able to print? I realize that the Epson Stylus Photo rx685 is listed in the Edimax literature as being a supported multifunciton device. The Edimax listing, however, only lists

Well, that's a good point -- if the box only speaks IPP or what have you, obviously it won't support a scanner :-) -- Robert Krawitz rlk at alum.mit.edu Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf at uunet.uu.net Project lead for Gutenprint --http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works. --Eric Crampton

How did you find the current values, are they provisional for most models but exact for LiDE 35, or are they ready to use ? In case they need to be changed, on which data may I base the changes ? The values in the motor struct are specific to the mechanical design of the scanner. Currently, the gl841 part only supports devices that seem to be very similar(at least mechanical) to my LiDE 35, so the motor struct is just reused/copied. Originally, the values were derived from the linear curves(only in step number domain, not in time domain...) sent by the windows driver. Later i experimentally improved them (and had to back off quite a bit after complaints). I ended up with a stepping slope that keeps the scanning head going, even when the scanner is held in such a way that the head must go upwards. In absence of an initial curve, one could start with very slow stepping and improve that. The values inside the motor struct are not critical to get right, most of the time the maximum speed is capped by the maximum exposure time. Only during pure feeds(scanning head going back) or using low resolution scans the final speeds in the motor struct really improve anything. (This is probably not true for scanners that do multiple motor power modes.) Regards, Pierre PS.: make sure you use an exposure calculation method and a slope generator that actually uses the values in the motor struct. Slope generation and exposure calculation is a mess, in part due to my changes.
[sane-devel] udev rules question for hp-psc2355
I have been using saned for networking scanners on slackware for 3 or so years with hpoj and a hp-psc2355 but recently upgraded the server box to slack-12.1 and decided to not use hpoj as its a bit old. I set up as usually with permissions, /etc/services, /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/sane.d config files on both server and clients. I could scan as a user in an ssh session on the server but could not do so as client. I finally figured out that the permissions being set up were defined in /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpumd.rules and not in 80-libsane.rules. The device belonged to root:lp and in order to allow users to scan I had to change permissions from 0664 to 0666 in the rule. I suppose the alternative would be to make the users members of lp but I've never heard of users being members of lp before. What is correct in this situation? -- Cheers, Rick Miles Movement stopped is no movement, and rest set in motion is no rest.

[sane-devel] New backend for a not yet exisiting device
Dear Dev-Team, first of all I'm a complete newbie in terms of scanners resp. the development of sane. I hope you can help me a bit to sort out some questions. Background: We are going to develop a new kind of scientific measurement device which acts similar to a scanner. Our measurements are latterly resolved e.g. we can create a pixel by pixel map whereas the measurement signal might be represented by a colour. This is, so fare well known already for similar devices already (Actually, it is not different to a normal scanner). Our reading unit can read line by line and thus we are thinking to use the mechanical set-up of a normal scanner to acquire a complete picture. Idea: For sure, it would be perfect, if we can address this type of new scanner in the same way like a normal scanner. E.g. by TWAIN-Protocol or by SANE.

[sane-devel] New backend for a not yet exisiting device
I think you would want to stick with lower level (stupid) machines that have chips from a third party which gives away documentation on their website. Something like rts* gt*, genesys backends should be useful. If you sensor sled is going to weigh more than the original, or if you use a different motor, you will probably want to use a scanner that gets its motor acceleration tables from the driver (genesys?) allan On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 11:22 AM, Torsten Wagner torsten.wagner at fh-aachen.de wrote: Dear Dev-Team, first of all I'm a complete newbie in terms of scanners resp. the development of sane. I hope you can help me a bit to sort out some questions. Background: We are going to develop a new kind of scientific measurement device which acts similar to a scanner. Our measurements are latterly resolved e.g. we can create a pixel by pixel map whereas the measurement signal might be represented by a colour. This is, so fare well known already for similar devices already (Actually, it is not different to a normal scanner). Our reading unit can read line by line and thus we are thinking to use the mechanical set-up of a normal scanner to acquire a complete picture.

Dear Allan, thanks for the fast reply. I checked the chips from genesys. As far as I understood they are seperated in a USB-communication part and a ASIC design for the ccd-chip.

As far as I understood they are seperated in a USB-communication part and a ASIC design for the ccd-chip. From my point of view it will make no sense to try to adopt our very different sensor signal to the one a CCD-chip might send to the genesys chip. Thus, I believe the best solution might be to emulate one of those chips from the communication side. Since we are going to use a FPGA for other purposes already it might be the easiest way to emulate the communication between the PC and the scanner chip such that the sane-backend resp. Twain-driver still believes a normal scanner is connected. Is there one IC with a wide usage or something like a reference IC? Is there any kind of standard protocoll, which we might can follow? there is nothing standard about any of these protocols except maybe the ones based on SCSI could be called a 'half-standard' Which manufacture provides most information? And which one welcomes projects like this (resp. opensource in general) without let the dogs resp. lawyers out. most of the chip makers who would give you specs dont make a twain driver for you to 'repurpose'. i find it funny to think that you would write code to use an fpga to emulate a machine, just to avoid writing some code :) ask yourself seriously, is anyone ever going to want to 'aquire' a TWAIN image from this thing to insert into a document or something? most labs i have ever worked with moved files around on a flash drive to achieve the same effect. allan At Montag, 15.

[sane-devel] Creating searchable PDF with ExactImage 0.6
Hi all, ExactImage 0.6(.0) now comes with an revamped PDF writer and hocr2pdf front-end, together with a patch to cuneiform to annotate each recognized glyph with a hOCR-like bounding box, it allows the creation of pretty exactly positioned, searchable PDF files: ExactImage: http://www.exactcode.de/site/open_source/exactimage/ Cuneiform for Linux: https://launchpad.net/cuneiform-linux Cuneiform annotated HTML patch (includes already committed fix), which is not yet conditional. For merging it it probably should only output the additional formating based on some additional command line switch, e.g. --hocr instead of --html or so, but that probably requires changing some 20+ files to pass the information down to the point where the HTML is written: http://t2-project.org/packages/cuneiform.html http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/graphic/cuneiform/html-hocr.patch ExactImage hocr2pdf page with some basic information: http://www.exactcode.de/site/open_source/exactimage/hocr2pdf/ Basically hocr2pdf accepts the input from STDIN (we could also add a -h/--html option to read it from a file) and the image from the filename passed to -i/--input. The resulting PDF filename is specified with -o/--output. Additionally -s/--sloppy-text allows grouping of words on a line for sometimes improved search and cut'n paste results with older PDF viewers and -n/--no-image to skip the image shadowing the text to either save storage space or take a look how exactly the glyphs are positioned.

[sane-devel] vertical lines along image when scanning and not in windows
i am using a canon canoscan lide 650u i get vertical lines when scanning using xsane from debian etch, i also tried never xsane (testing) without better results the problem doesn't happen in windows with canons driver http://shell2.eushells.com/~dh/naff.png it is much more visible at higher dpi and resolutions, seems that you can see the scanning cable and head-sliding pipe reflected in the image somehow. i tried calibrating and all settings available in xsane, the problem doesn't happen with my scanjet 6300c which is also usb. any ideas what can be the cause? if you need usb driver output from windows i can perhaps supply you with it(i got vmware running) thanks, Michael Ole Olsen

[sane-devel] Sheetfed Scanners
Hello, I am relatively new to linux and have posted a couple of times. I am interested in the small mobile document scanners, also known as pass-through or sheetfed scanners. I have made a small web page that attempts to summarize the sheetfed scanners that are available http://sites.google.com/site/sheetfedscannerslinux/. This is meant to complement the supported devices section of the Sane webpage. Also, I have recently purchased several of these on eBay, when I could get a really good price. I wanted to offer these to the Sane project as my contribution. If a Sane developer is interested in any of these, email me and describe your experience developing Sane. I will send you the scanner and it is yours to keep. You can use it or abuse it however you see fit. All I ask is that you put a driver into the Sane project for that device. I will pay for postage. I will try to pay any customs fees or VAT, but you may have to pay this. Here is a list of what I have available: Visioneer Strobe XP 200: This has a GL646 chipset, so it could be adapted to the genesys backend. It is powered through an external 17 volt power supply. Mine fits North American style sockets. Visioneer Strobe XP 300: This has a GL842 chip, so it could be adapted to the genesys backend. It can be powered through the USB cable. It also can be powered through an external power supply for faster scans. It is a duplex scanner (scans both sides simultaneously). The scanner that I have does put a black line down the middle of one of the sides that it scans, which is probably due to a bad sensor. This should not affect the ability to develop a driver, but it may decrease the value of the scanner to you. Visioneer Strobe Pro: The chip inside appears to be a proprietary Visioneer chip. A whole new backend would probably have to be written. The only advantage to going through the trouble of doing this that I can see is that these scanners are really cheap on ebay. This scanner needs an external power supply. Pentax DS Mobile: This is supposedly the same as the syscan Travelscan Pro 2300. I won a lot of 10 of these on ebay and I expect that at least one will work. This has a LM9832/3 chip and should be adaptable to the plustek backend. Visioneer RoadWarrior: This has a GL842 chip, so it could be adapted to genesys. I have one of these that I paid full retail price and I am emotionally attached to it. I could loan it out for a few months, but I'd like to eventually get it back. Also, someone may already be working on this device. This device is powered through the USB cable. Visioneer OneTouch 5800 USB flatbed scanner: I have one of these that I don't want. It is pretty heavy, so I only want to ship this in the United States. Realtek RTS8801C chipset. -- Jack McGill
[sane-devel] usb_set_interface and usb_claim_interface
Hello, sorry that I was wrong about libusb function, the right one is usb_set_configuration(), I saw in sanei_usb the place of usb_set_configuration is before usb_claim_interface being used, but when I saw in sane-backend for 1.0.16 , the sm3600 was usb_claim_interface first after that is usb_set_configuration , so I follow that way, after that I don't exactly understand why, but for now is already works, I will going to change and to use sanei_usb.h . -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Le Friday 19 September 2008 19:56:54 Tof, vous avez ?crit?: Stef, I'm *really* happy to hear that somebody is still working on hp2400-like support :) As proposed as well by Robert Morton, if you need to test your work, don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be glad to help :) Thanks for your efforts fox P.S : I hope this thing adds itself to the existing thread, but if it doesn't... well...you can all blame me :) Hello, if you have some time and the possibility of messing your ms-windows settings, it would be interesting to try the G2410 software but with your HP2400. These scanners share the same USB id, but it seems they may have slightly different internals. The G2410 software starts by reading the slope tables, may be to recognize the exact model is connected. So having an USB log recording what happens when you plug the HP2400 scanner should be instructive. Regards, Stef
[sane-devel] Sheetfed Scanners
I am not in a position to take you up on your offer, but I wanted to say thank you very, very much for your effort/investment. These are the sort of things that make free software possible, and make me proud to be a small part of it. allan On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 12:07 PM, Jack McGill jmcgill85258 at yahoo.com wrote: Hello, I am relatively new to linux and have posted a couple of times. I am interested in the small mobile document scanners, also known as pass-through or sheetfed scanners. I have made a small web page that attempts to summarize the sheetfed scanners that are available http://sites.google.com/site/sheetfedscannerslinux/. This is meant to complement the supported devices section of the Sane webpage. Also, I have recently purchased several of these on eBay, when I could get a really good price. I wanted to offer these to the Sane project as my contribution. If a Sane developer is interested in any of these, email me and describe your experience developing Sane. I will send you the scanner and it is yours to keep. You can use it or abuse it however you see fit. All I ask is that you put a driver into the Sane project for that device. I will pay for postage. I will try to pay any customs fees or VAT, but you may have to pay this. Here is a list of what I have available: Visioneer Strobe XP 200: This has a GL646 chipset, so it could be adapted to the genesys backend. It is powered through an external 17 volt power supply. Mine fits North American style sockets. Visioneer Strobe XP 300: This has a GL842 chip, so it could be adapted to the genesys backend. It can be powered through the USB cable. It also can be powered through an external power supply for faster scans. It is a duplex scanner (scans both sides simultaneously). The scanner that I have does put a black line down the middle of one of the sides that it scans, which is probably due to a bad sensor. This should not affect the ability to develop a driver, but it may decrease the value of the scanner to you. Visioneer Strobe Pro: The chip inside appears to be a proprietary Visioneer chip. A whole new backend would probably have to be written. The only advantage to going through the trouble of doing this that I can see is that these scanners are really cheap on ebay. This scanner needs an external power supply. Pentax DS Mobile: This is supposedly the same as the syscan Travelscan Pro 2300. I won a lot of 10 of these on ebay and I expect that at least one will work. This has a LM9832/3 chip and should be adaptable to the plustek backend. Visioneer RoadWarrior: This has a GL842 chip, so it could be adapted to genesys. I have one of these that I paid full retail price and I am emotionally attached to it. I could loan it out for a few months, but I'd like to eventually get it back. Also, someone may already be working on this device. This device is powered through the USB cable. Visioneer OneTouch 5800 USB flatbed scanner: I have one of these that I don't want. It is pretty heavy, so I only want to ship this in the United States.

[sane-devel] [PATCH] sane-frontends / xscanimage: New feature: Time remaining estimate to progress dialog
Le Saturday 13 September 2008 20:01:21 Jonas Berlin, vous avez ?crit?: Hi! I implemented a small feature to the progress dialog of xscanimage that adds a Time remaining: 5 min 13 sec indicator below the progress bar. I did this because with my scanner it takes 1 hour 40 mins to scan an A4 at 2400 dpi, and even in less extreme cases I think it's nice to know how long it's going to take. The estimation algorithm is not especially elaborate, but stabilizes quite fast at least with my HP ScanJet 6300C even when the data comes in bursts by limiting the update ratio to once per second (which is determined by the value 1000 (milliseconds) in the code). The code applies against sane-frontends-1.0.14 and hopefully meets your standards. Finally I'd like to thank for an excellent product with all the features I feel I need while scanning and still is very easy to use! And the Sane project in general for meeting the goal that the project acronym sets. :) My patch is both attached and available at http://xkr47.outerspace.dyndns.org/tmp/sane-frontends-1.0.14-progress-eta-3 .patch Hello, I have applied a slightly modified version of your patch on sane-frontends 1.1 CVS.

[sane-devel] [iscan] New release available
Dear all, A new release of Image Scan! for Linux has been made available on my employer's website. The release announcement is at: http://avasys.jp/hp/page01200/hpg01171.htm As you can see, there are now also Debian packages. Now for what you can't see there :-) Here is the relevant bit of the NEWS file for iscan-2.12.0: * adds support for the following scanners: - Epson ES-H7200 - Epson GT-1500 (requires iscan-plugin-gt-1500) - Epson GT-2 - Epson GT-D1000 (requires iscan-plugin-gt-1500) - Epson GT-X970 - Epson LP-M6000 - Epson Stylus NX200 - Epson Stylus NX400 - Epson Stylus SX200 - Epson Stylus SX400 - Epson Stylus TX200 - Epson Stylus TX400 * adds support for automatic document size detection * adds support for speed priority scanning * adds support for TIFF and PDF image output * adds ADF duplex support. The backend option has been renamed from `adf_mode` to `adf-mode` so all backend options now use hyphens to separate words. * improves last sheet scanning with the ADF unit for the ES-1G, Expression 1XL, ES-7000H and GT-15000 * image file format now defaults to the format last used instead of resetting to PNM after every scan. Also, PNG is now the preferred file format. * adds experimental support for 64-bit machines (source only) Yes, you can build your own 64-bit packages now! See the README for instructions. Plugins for 64-bit machines are not available yet. # But work is underway for several of them (not all, though). If you want to use the latest iscan version for older models, please select one of the newer models. There is a bug in our download pages so that you only get to see the package for which support of the older model was tested. # Trying to get this fixed ... Beware though that older plugin using models (still) do not work with iscan-2.11 or later. Use iscan-2.10 instead. Select the GT-X770 or Perfection V500 for a page from which you can download that version. # Work is underway to fix a number of plugins (but not all).

[sane-devel] problems with genesys and MD6228
Hallo stef, am Freitag, 2008-08-29 07:13:37 schrieben Sie: I have committed a couple a GPO fixes. I have also commented out ASIC reset for GL646. I don't think it is usefull, and suppose it may mess things. Could you try latest CVS version to see if it fixes things for you ? The result: 1. The starting point at the top of page is more constant. It varies between 0...0,8 mm at the top. (O...0,8 mm loss. Earlier 8 mm!) 2. In most resolutions the scanner works properly. Only with 100 dpi, gray, sometimes (30 % from tests) the scanner head starts to shake and does not move properly! The old problem. -- Viele Gr??e Werner Holtfreter
