It's not your system that is out of memory, you are trying to transfer too much data. With 1600 dpi and a 10 cm wide scan you are creating more data per scan line than can fit into one SCSI transfer. =46rom your options to scanimage it looks like you are scanning a color image, probably a photo. No photo has that much data that you need 1600dpi. For standard photographs, about 250 to 300dpi is the limit. By increasing the scan resolution above that, you are just creating more data without getting more details.=20 You need slides or negatives to really have a source for that much details, and these are usually not 10 cm wide.=20 Karl Heinz On Mon, Sep 30, 2002 at 10:32:27PM +0200, Henk Abma wrote: >=20 > Hello, >=20 >=20 >=20 > I run a machine with 512mb of ram and gentoo linux, with its default > compilation of sane.
