[I'm also replying to the SANE mailing list, please send questions
like this to that list in the first place.]
I have a Nikon LS-2000 (Super Coolscan 2000) that I'm trying to get
working with SANE. It will not autofocus properly. The driver sends
the focus command and the scanner makes focusing noises for a while, but
then the driver gets back 0. Looking at the actual data returned from
the scanner in s-recv_buf, it is 13 nulls. Any idea what the problem
is?
That's weird. I've had reports from at least one LS-2000 user who says
the scanner works fine, including AF, so this is interesting.
AF is performed in three steps in coolscan2 -- the first two cause the
scanner to autofocus, the third reads the focus position back. I guess
you're talking about the third command when you refer to recv_buf.
Thus it seems that your scanner performs AF properly, but then fails
to send the resulting focus position back to the computer, if I
understand what you're saying. Have you tried scanning with manual
focus to see whether that works?
Finally, what SCSI controller do you use?
Also, do you have documentation on the scanner? I would like to help
out with driver development and fixing bugs like this but lack any
documentation apart from the user manual.
I have, but it's under an NDA, so I can't distribute it.
