I use the following settings and Bash script to scan receipts or documents
using an older Neat Mobil Scanner, the one that came with Neat Receipts for
Mac. I’m interested in eliminating the following messages which appear as each
item is scanned.:
[gt68xx] WARNING: You have manually added the ids of your scanner
[gt68xx] to gt68xx.conf. Please use an appropriate override
[gt68xx] for your scanner. Use extreme care and switch off
[gt68xx] the scanner immediately if you hear unusual noise.
[gt68xx] Please report any success to
[gt68xx] sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org. Please provide as many
[gt68xx] details as possible, e.g. the exact name of your
[gt68xx] scanner, ids, settings etc.
The Bash script I wrote:
Peters-Mini:bin peter$ cat scan
#!/bin/bash
#scan
#set -x
