I sort of gave up because it turned out being so difficult to get any sort of "controlled data" out of it. Every scan is different and lexmark drivers only saves in lossy image format, making comparison difficult. Tying some of the data pins high/low might help with this to some degree. It didn't appear to be adaptive IIRC. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2007-October/020075.html has some speculation and some data if you want to compare. -- Aapo Tahkola
