[sane-devel] meaning of 1200x2400 etc. explained

I cannot find the thread where this was discussed before, but here the answer I received from a friend of mine, hopefully it will be useful to clear up the confusion surrounding the resolution of scanners! - The lower figure (1200) is what is called True DPI. This is the more important value. It s

your english is quite clear, and you certainly understand the mechanical aspect, but i think you give the scanner too much credit. they dont have the brains to oversample and then downsample. they move the motor faster and take fewer readings. the end user would scream about the speed at lower reso

unfortunately, the DPI is not one of the parameters reported to the frontend via sane_get_parameters, so a backend that does not have resolution controls, or one that relies on the scanner to round the resolution will not report the right values. allan On 2/15/08, Ren? Rebe wrote: > On Friday 15

I assume you are talking about a fujitsu (you never said)? The 'buffermode' option was added to fujitsu backend version 1.0.40 on 2006-08-26, try upgrading SANE to get that. 1. If you power cycle the scanner, and connect only to sane, does it send BGR data? 2. if you connect to windows and back t
