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

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?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting the PENTAX DSmobile 600 scanner to work in SANE/on Linux? I would very much like to purchase it, but there is no point in that if it doesn't work on my system... -- Regards, Kjell Andr? Lende

Hi, I too just bought this scanner because I found this: http://www.pentaxtech.com/Products/DSMobile/DSmobileUSB_featues_specs.html If there's no Lx driver on the CD, I'll ask Pentaxtech to provide one but as this page seems not to be linked to the main site anymore I have my doubts Meanwhile I'd like to tie up to Thierry's/ Bertriks postings: do you know who wrote the "old" driver? - Maybe he'd be able to give some hints on a new implementation ... - Lukas

"CD includes Twain Data Source" - does this mean that the Twain driver source is provided ? OR - does this mean that the data source is provided, which is useful for a Twain driver? Gerald

It looks like another parallel-over-USB protocol: * Control transfer with Value=82 is used to setup a bulk transfer. Bytes 4-7 in the transfer data contain the length of the bulk transfer in little endian encoding. * Control transfer with Value=83 is used to write data (even bytes in control data block is the register address and odd bytes are the data to write). * Control transfer with Value=84 is used to read data from the last register addressed. Although the protocol looks similar to other protocols I looked at, this particular implementation is new to me. Besides knowing the protocol to set/get data in the scanner controller, you'll also need to figure out what each register does (and I fear that's the hard part). Kind regards, Bertrik

Hello, I've purchased this cute little scanner partly because there were infos about a (proprietary) linux driver - but Pentax says it was for an older model and Linux support has been dropped. I thought I'd take a look at writing a backend, however I know little if anything about such things, including C language, so I have little hope. Anyway, I ran usb snoop from a vmware machine and I have put the resulting log here: http://www.decoulon.ch/dsmobile600_log.txt.zip In case anyone who knows more about this stuff wants to take a look.
