This depends on how systems implement USB scanner support (if they do). If they use some sort of driver that provides a device file which allows both writing to and reading from bulk data, sanei_usb will just do it. Control messages and vendor/product ids require platform-dependant code. It may be possible to support other ways of USB scanner access in sanei_usb (e.g. access to generic USB files) but I haven't tried yet. Bye, Henning
