Hello, when operating my scanner (Microtek ScanMaker 35t plus (slide scanner)) under Windows it was possible to scan a Kodak reference slide. Ther was a special reference aquiring mode (including selecting the type of reference slide). Somehow this reference was saved and new scans are were co

2003-07-23 Thread Olaf Meeuwissen
Hi Frank, Thanks for your prompt feedback. I would like to point out though that include/lalloca.h, include/lassert.h and sanei/linux_sg3_err.h were NOT written specifically for SANE. Furthermore, one could argue that some of the #define's count as code because the preprocessor substitutes th

Hi, I think I could be possible to detect it as Genius, BUT this is not that trivial. The difference between the Plustek devices and Genius devices can be found out by accessing a specific register within the P98003 and reading back the PCB (printed circuit board) identification and the CCD-ID. Th
