It seems that the Visigo A4 or Visigo Travelscan 464 is supported through SANE [1]. Have anyone any experience with this scanner? Does it work well, is reliable etc? Alternately, has anyone gotten the Visigo PS465 Simplex [2] (an updated version, I guess) to work on Linux? I'm also interested in any other light-weight, portable and sturdy scanners that would work in Linux. It's for scanning documents, so a resolution of about 300 dpi should be plenty. 1. http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-AMBIR 2. http://www.ambir.com/product.asp?item=PS465-SS -- Regards, Kjell Andr?

Do scanned documents look OK without calibration? I guess I can crop the images afterwards -- so I could live with limited area-selection. -- Regards, Kjell Andr? Lende

Sorry, Stef, I'm a stupid Suse10.3 user and install normally only rpm. I'm still working with sane-backends1.0.19-0-pm.2 genesys. If I should install a new CVS, then I would need instruction. -- Viele Gr??e Werner Holtfreter

In a command shell, create a directory then 'cd' to it. First you have to get the sources with (see http://www.sane-project.org/cvs.html): cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane co sane-backends Once you have the sources, 'cd' to sane-backends, then configure the build with: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc then compile with: make Then you can use the attached 'genesys' script (which must be copied in the sane-backends/backend directory) and run it to test your scanner with the new backend without installing it. It runs with full debug. You can edit it to change resolution, width, height and coordinates. The scanned picture will be in 'scan.pnm'. In case you run any problem, let us know. If scan at low res don't work, send me the scan.log file produced by the script. Regards, Stef -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

[sane-devel] Branch for sane-frontends
Hello, to maintain the curent 1.0.x version of sane-backends I propose to tag current sources with: DEVEL_1_0_TRUNK Then make a branch: DEVEL_1_0_BRANCH SANE 1.1 developments will use MAIN. Is it OK ? I have modified sane-frontends to compile with SANE 1.1 and handle the SANE_STATUS_WARMING_UP. I'd like to check these changes in, but I think an administrator will have to tag sources first. Regards, Stef

SANE is GPL, with an added exception to allow proprietary front-end programs to link against it. What you are suggesting is the opposite- you wish to have a free 'middleware' layer, which loads closed backends to do that actual work? I think this is in violation of the spirit of the license exception, though perhaps not the letter. Please read the file LICENSE in the sane-backends source, it attempts to clarify the situation, by specifically referring to the 'licensing status of the _program_ that uses the libraries', not the status of a library. Note also that your plan prevents those of us that use alternative CPU's (PPC, ARM) from using your code, unless you are going to compile it for us. allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
[sane-devel] Visioneer 6200USB backend
I have a Visioneer 6200USB and am interested in trying to write a backend for it, or at least providing as much information about the model as possible. I've taken the scanner apart to look at chip information, however I don't know which of the chips are important to know about. The board that has the power and USB connectors on it has a metal plate over two chips. This plate makes no contact with anything and is soldered into place, so as far as I can tell it's just there to be annoying. The most advanced chip (one with most pins coming out) on the PCB that I can see has the following information: "EICI10440A E48A3-000 0019" One of the chips underneath the metal plate says ESIC. I can try to remove the plate, but I am not entirely confident that I could do it without damaging something. I have pictures of each of the 3 boards that I found inside if that would help. I attempted to get a picture of the chips underneath the metal plate, but I wasn't very successful. I can try again when I have better lighting, I think I'll be able to read the information off of one of them. I'm mostly looking for some guidance, as I have no idea how to proceed with this. I was going to try to contact Visioneer, but they don't list any email addresses, and their only contact phone number for support is a 900 number (toll).
