This looks like the shading correction(corrects for the properties of each ccd cell) is making the image worse. please disable it by changing gl841_init_optical_regs_scan to only disable it: /* if (flags & OPTICAL_FLAG_DISABLE_SHADING)*/ r->value &= ~REG01_DVDSET; /* else r->value |= REG01_DVDSET;*/ The resulting image may give better information. Another possibility is to look at the generated black_white_shading.pnm when SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255 is set in the environment.
