It is a command. you run it in the terminal. If you got no text back, try running this instead: scanimage -L allan On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 2:33 PM, Ben Green greenb1 at mac.com wrote: On 10 Feb 2011, at 05:24, stef wrote: Le Wednesday 09 February 2011 18:01:08 Ben Green, vous avez ?crit :

Ha ha - thanks Allan - it worked.. and i pulled up the options too.. HOWEVER - my (ongoing) problem is that i need to switch off the calibration section of the scan process so that i receive a raw data feed. Is there further settings I can effect? For example in the plustec backend, I was able

There are options for the image cropping area in the list, no? (-x -y, etc) I don't know why you want uncalibrated data, it will look terrible. How about you tell us what you are trying to do :) allan On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 2:49 PM, Ben Green greenb1 at mac.com wrote: Ha ha - thanks Allan -

I did a bit of digging in the source, and it appears that you could set GENESYS_FLAG_NO_CALIBRATION in the Lide60 entry in backend/genesys_devices.c (along with removing the existing calibration flags), and rebuild sane-backends. That should bypass the calibration code. allan On Fri, Feb 11,

Allan, Thanks very much - Following is a lot of How to questions? I can't try any of this now as I have to go to work - but I'll try these suggestions later tonight - Just to clarify (here's my programming prowess coming to the fore!) - This is all done in terminal (not sane prefs?) -- How

Hello Stef, The main objective for me is that the scan head always gives the same data - this way I can adjust the light coming onto the scan head. I have done this successfully with an older model Lide under plustec and it worked fine - but only after the calibration was bypassed.. Best

Stop talking about prefs. We are talking about source code :) I've never compiled sane on a mac before (M. Ellert might have more about that on his site) But i can give you the general idea: 1. install the libusb-dev package (or libusb-devel, not sure what your OS calls it) 2. install gcc
