[sane-devel] Plustek OpticFilm 7600i
I have a Plustek OpticFilm 7600i. It's not SANE-supported, but I read on list a while back that if whoever is doing any Plustek development had one, they'd be open to adding support. I'd be glad to lend mine out if anyone is interested. (I looked at the genesys source code, considering adding the support myself, but I don't know a thing about how scanners do their thing or even much about USB interfaces. I'll leave it to the experts if any of them are interested.)

Understood. This scanner is already replaced with a newer model (the 8200) here in Norway at least. Where in the world are you located? There is one 7600i available at eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plustek-OpticFilm-7600i-SE-Film-Scanner-Slide-Film-Scanner-90days-warranty-/171211841146 But USD 229.- plus shipping is a bit much for me to cover by myself. Perhaps if a few more persons were interested in getting this scanner supported, we (the interested persons) could split the cost? Just a thought. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen

Hello, I have downloaded and decoded the log. I can confirm it is a genesys based device. However since the chip used can only do 2400 dpi max, I expect some hardware trick if this scanner can reach the 7200 hardware resolution. Another thing is that used SCANMOD is tagged 'RESERVED' in GL842 datasheet. So I expect it will be different from other supported scanners that don't use this SCANMOD So since it is no close enough to other devices I have, I cannot add support for this model without having the real hardware.

What I did: - after installing the filter, I selected "Replug". Next I pressed the QuickScan button on the scanner (the only way to start the QuickScan application, AFAICT), which did a prescan. QuickScan settings are "Negative Film", Preview enable and defaults for the rest. I'm not sure what resolution etc. the prescan is done with. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen

Ok, I installed Wireshark 1.8.12 on the Powerbook G4 (newest version for PPC), but it doesn't look like it has USB logging. For now, it seems like usb logging is only supported in Linux and Windows: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/USB at least I couldn't find one. I will look for other ways. -- Regards, Torfinn

However the reported resolution of 7200 doesn't match the 2400 max resolution for the GL842 chip. Some custom sensor interleaving like for the gl847 devices ? Another hurdle is that no 2400 dpi support is done for this kind of chip. I'm afraid this won't be trivial. Do you think you can record an usblog of a preview scan ? Regards, Stef

If it is the case, support could be added, but since it is a really different kind of scanner from other supported devices, doing it remotely is close to impossible, or at least really long and not fun. If someone with this device want to have a try to do it, I can help her/him (see https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=410369&aid=314555&group_id=30186). I personally won't try to do it without a real device to test on. Regards, Stef

If somebody starts developing support for it, I will dig it up and try my best to help by testing, providing feedback and so on. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
[sane-devel] Plustek opticfilm 7600i
Dear Sane developers, I got my hands on a Plustek Opticfilm 7600i Negative/slide scanner. From what I understand from an internet search this scanner is based on a Genesys GL843 chipset.(not confirmed by me) This chipset is supported now by the genesys backend, but the scanner is not, as of yet. I am able to provide information and/or remote access to this scanner now. I hope some one is interested in developing sane support for it. Please let me know if and how I can help with this scanner. Kind regards, Bert Haverkamp
