Well, I don't know really why but now I have the ADF option and the feeder initialize when I turn on the scanner... scanimage -h returns Optional equipment: --source Flatbed|Automatic Document Feeder [Flatbed] Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder). > I use an Epson 1640SU too and it works here, but not out of the box. > I use kernel 2.6.6-rc3. In sane-backends-1.0.14/backend/epson.c > make the feed() function to immediately return SANE_STATUS_GOOD; Thank you Klaus... But I have a little question. I am using Debian and I don't have any epson.c file... dpkg -l | grep sane ii libsane 1.0.13-4 API library for scanners ii sane 1.0.11-3 Scanner graphical frontends ii sane-utils 1.0.13-4 API library for scanners -- utilities ii xsane 0.92-2 A gtk-based X11 frontend for SANE Do I have to install manually the sane-backends-1.0.14 ? The debian package for sane-backends is libsane, isn't it? If I install a new one manually, won't it be in conflict? > Then use scanimage -d epson:libusb:00x:00x --source "Automatic Document > Feeder" .. and it should work. I tested with my actual configuration and got scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O Thank you! Alex
