you might wanna try and tweak the motor settings, checkout file plustek-usbdevs.c and search for MODEL_CANON1200, you will find something like: { MODEL_CANON1200, 8, 51, 3, /* Motor settings (PWM and PWM_Duty) */ /* <=75dpi <=100dpi <=150dpi <=200dpi <=300dpi */ {{ 8, 31, 1 }, { 8, 31, 1 }, { 8, 31, 1 }, { 8, 31, 1 }, { 8, 31, 1 }, /* <=400dpi <=600dpi <=800dpi <=1200dpi <=2400dpi */ { 8, 31, 1 }, { 8, 31, 1 }, { 8, 31, 1 }, { 8, 31, 1 }, { 8, 31, 1 }}, /* Color mode MCLK settings */ { 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0 }, { 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.0, 6.0 }, /* Gray mode MCLK settings */ { 6.0, 6.0, XXX.0, 6.0, 6.0, 6.0, 6.0, 6.0, 6.0, 6.0 }, { 6.5, 6.5, 6.0, 6.0, 6.0, 6.0, 8.0, 12.0, 12.0, 12.0 } }, tweak the settings for "Gray mode" and <= 150dpi (where the XXX is located), you may increase the value to 7 or 8...
