Hi, >I know ive read if the scanner is gone through the whole scan and makes >a weird noise at the end like its still going to turn it off immediately >which i did. > >i am using canoscan n650u usb scanner, and first im using a C script >found off http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compdet.php?id=3D10346
this skript isn't bad at all... > >and it scans better than using the xsane stuff which wont even preview >scan at all. anywho it does go to the end and makes the weird noise like >it still wants to keep scanning but doesnt. check out SANE-1.0.9 and update it with the latest test-version:=20 plustek-sane-0.45-TEST3 from www.gjaeger.de > >another thing im a little confused on what the scanner can actually do >in linux as for say 8 bit color only? or is that all color and 8-bit >grey only?=20 This is just a start, the ADC inside the scanner has a resolution of 16bi= t, which means at least 16bit grey or 48bit for color as a maximum. The 8 bit modes are only working for now using SANE-1.0.9... > >and uhm, in you guys experience should i install windows just for this >scanner or is there some enhancements being made to make this scanner >work? Not needed so far only a little patience - or as said before, try 0.45TES= T3... I'm currently working on these problems... Gerhard > >good work with the sane stuff btw :D > >thanks >adam
