Re: [sane-devel] Sheet Feed scanner, saving DPI info

Hi, But I need the file to include DPI information for further processing. The originals could be all different sizes. tiny gas receipts, envelopes, super long walgreens receipts. seldom 8.5x11 because I use an ADF for that. My sheet feed scanner is double sided, and I've been calling it

my scanner seems to work flawlessly with the airscan backend with even more options than the hpaio backend supports, I will not invest more time into this analyzes. Nevertheless I would like to share what I found out thus far. On Sonntag, 18. Juni 2023 14:14:42 CEST Andy Bennett wrote: I've

Hi, since I badly need scanimage as a commandline tool and there seems to be no progress on the issue https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/642 I would like to try myself to work on a fix. However, I would need some guidance about where to look in the code. Could someone give

Re: [sane-devel] Interactive use of scanner buttons

Hi, So, for scanning books, it would be nice to be able to control such a frontend as XSane with the scanner's hardware buttons. Because most of the time you can reach the hardware button even if you handle the book using both hands (however, a configurable delay after the button is pressed

Hello again, Let us know some more of your requirements, such as use case, budget, etc, and I'll try to offer some more anecdotes (if I have any). I'm mostly interested in scanning photos, with a little bit of document scanning. The price range that I'm looking at is somewhat fluid. I

Hi, Regarding the colors of the iX500, they are not strictly raw data. The scanner self-calibrates, which removes most of the high frequency noise. But, the default brightness and contrast values may still need some manual tweaking. It is also possible that the windows software does some

Hi, I'm looking to get into scanning in the GNU/Linux world - I do not yet own a scanner. I know the SANE compatibility matrix exists [0], but I am hoping for some anecdotal recommendations. Welcome! What scanners are people using and how happy are you with your scanner and your SANE

Hi, Thank you Paul - It's nice to see you're still around*! I hope I'm not the only one left in existence with a Kodak ESP Printer ... After power cycling the printer, Simple Scan repeats the same sequence - it initializes and starts a scan and then terminates with a "communications failure"

Hi, Perhaps just raw raster pixel data? Although the ordering of the bytes and channels might take some figuring. I was able to get the raw scan data to display, but not properly. It seems to be separating the images into three sections, seemingly RGB. The format of PNM (with a colour

Hi, Sorry for the top post! Here's an update on my progress. I've managed to get a build but there seem to be some runtime linking issues. I've included the lib/getopt.c and lib/getopt1.c code with #include directives in frontend/scanimage.c, frontend/saned.c and tools/sane-desc.c. This

Hi, I have an HP ScanJet 7400c that has dual USB1 and SCSI interfaces. When I use the USB1 interface on my modern Linux system it overruns the buffer several times on each page. This causes the scanner to stop, reposition itself and carry on. This is really slow. I am trying to work out
