Hello, sheetfed scanners need to be calibrated with the vendor supplied calibration sheet first. Current SANE standard doesn't give a mean to signal user that the scan is done without shading calibration. To calibrate with xsane click on the 'calibrate' button in advanced options. With scanimage, give the --calibrate option on the command line. The calibration is stored to file so you won't have to calibrate again for the current user. Regards, Stef
