Hi. I'm currently using multiple scanners for a project where I have flowers
scanned a few times an hour to make videos of the desiccation process. I'm
currently in Germany where I've managed to get three scanners running off of
one iBook, but at home I have eight scanners strewn across multiple
Thanks. Here I'm using a CanoScan 5600F (the Mac driver of which is kind of
unstable, and the shipped program horribly bloated!,) an Epson Perfection
V33 (a bad scanner!,) and a CanoScan 3200 (which I'm using with VueScan,
it's proven to be very stable.) At home I have another CS 5600F, two CS
Neat. So far my experience with SANE is using it as a TWAIN plugin for Mac
OSX's Image Capture. The text based commands seem much better than the gaudy
manufacturer supplied GUIs though! Maybe I'll direct my future scanner
purchases to SANE supported scanners. Into which program(s) do I input
No, you re-write the pseudocode in a real programming language :) What
I gave was something kinda like shell, which can be stored in a text
file, made executable, and run directly. Not sure how that works on a
mac...

OSX has unix in there somewhere, no need to switch OS just for this.
Why do you assume I use Linux? Because I have been helpful, and not
asked for any money? :)

Allen has been a steadfast contributor to this list of information and
advice to scanner users, for which it is entirely appropriate to say
Thank you from time to time. Thank you, Allen, for the significant
personal effort you contribute to make SANE and this list a valuable
resource for many
I'm not entirely sure how to respond.
First, I very much appreciate the thanks. Performing sane's janitorial
duties doesn't usually elicit praise :) Oddly, it was never my
intention to be in this position. In 2003, I simply wanted to get a
patch into the fujitsu backend, and then leave this list.
Neat videos!
The answer to your question depends on the scanner, and the driver (we
call them backends).
1. Some scanners are really dumb and require the host software to do
lots of processing to get a usable image. You could certainly stagger
the scans so that two scanners were never in use at
