Hello,
HISTORY:
Have been using SANE scanimage & scanadf running through BASH scripts since
Feb2005.
All command arguments are added & assembled using database stored strings.
Example for fi4220C2:
Model Default = "--mode Lineart --resolution 150 --y-resolution 150"
Duplex ADF = "--source ADF --duplex both"
Color Scan = "--mode Color"
BASH scripts take all these strings and produce:
"--mode Color --resolution 150 --y-resolution 150 --source ADF --duplex both"
PROBLEM:
Latest release for sane-fujitsu in July2006 (1.0.18) has broken BASH scripts.
COMMAND HELP ISSUES (1.0.18):
1. Running scanadf/scanimage --help -d <USB-fi5120C> documents arguments that
are NOT accepted: --pagewidth, --pageheight.
2. Help messages for -x, -y, --pagewidth, & --pageheight do NOT provide proper
information, descriptions are all the same.
(e.g., for ADF, both -l and -x MUST be used to properly mimic the missing
--pagewidth argument)
3. Changes to --source options are misleading.
(e.g,; --source ADF Front [as documented default] does NOT work,
fact that value MUST be quoted is not indicated.
Command that works: --source 'ADF Front' or --source "ADF Front")
4. All these issues have been addressed and corrected in database.
FUNCTIONAL ISSUES:
[NOTE: none of the following occurs if --source ommitted (using default)]
A. Running the command from same BASH script now fails 100% with the following:
scanadf: setting of option --source failed (Invalid argument)
Code from bash script:
#!/bin/bash
...
# Execute SCAN command
if [ "${SCAN_USING_FLATBED}" -eq 1 ]; then
if [ "${DEBUG}" == "Yes" ]; then
(
echo "Scanning Command:"
echo "${SCAN_SCRIPT_FULL} ${SCAN_OPT_FULL} >${OUTPUT_FILE}
2>${SCAN_LOG}"
) 1>>${DEBUG_LOG}
fi
(
${SCAN_SCRIPT_FULL} ${SCAN_OPT_FULL} >${OUTPUT_FILE} 2>${SCAN_LOG}
)
SCAN_RTN="${?}"
else
if [ "${DEBUG}" == "Yes" ]; then
(
echo "Scanning Command:"
echo "${SCAN_SCRIPT_FULL} ${SCAN_OPT_FULL} ${OUTPUT_FILE}
2>${SCAN_LOG}"
) 1>>${DEBUG_LOG}
fi
## --command not executing properly using 1.0.18 below-- ##
${SCAN_SCRIPT_FULL} ${SCAN_OPT_FULL} ${OUTPUT_FILE} 2>${SCAN_LOG}
SCAN_RTN="${?}"
fi
B. Cut & Paste of expanded syntax from debug log works from the command Line.
Expanded syntax from debug log (line space separates script variables):
/usr/local/bin/scanadf \
--device-name net:ws198:fujitsu \
--mode Color --resolution 150 --y-resolution 150 \
--source 'ADF Duplex' -l 62.4 -x 100.0 -y 60.0 \
--scan-script /usr/local/bin/scanpnm2tif.sh \
--start-count 1 \
--output-file /tmp/scan/scannedimg%03d.pnm \
2>/tmp/scan/status.scn
Two TIFF files, scannedimg001.tif & scannedimg002.tif are created showing
front
and back of document scanned.
C. Replacing single-quotes with double-quotes does not change A. & B. results.
--source "ADF Duplex"
D. Placing double-quotes in BASH Script syntax:
${SCAN_SCRIPT_FULL} "${SCAN_OPT_FULL}" ${OUTPUT_FILE} 2>${SCAN_LOG}
produces the error:
scanadf: unrecognized option, `${SCAN_OPT_FULL}`
E. If ran from the command line - same error occurs.
Expanded syntax from debug log (line space separates script variables):
/usr/local/bin/scanadf \
"--device-name net:ws198:fujitsu \
--mode Color --resolution 150 --y-resolution 150 \
--source 'ADF Duplex' -l 62.4 -x 100.0 -y 60.0 \
--scan-script /usr/local/bin/scanpnm2tif.sh \
--start-count 1" \
--output-file /tmp/scan/scannedimg%03d.pnm \
2>/tmp/scan/status.scn
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated?
