Hello, I am a new member and this is my first post. I wanted to post here before filing a bug report to make sure I am not doing something wrong.
I am having trouble using the scanimage command with the microtek2 backend trying to control a Microtek V6USL. The problem is with the "--threshold" option in Lineart mode. I need to be able to control the threshold because with some scans the automatic setting of the threshold does not work very well when scanning documents that are printed over colored backgrounds. And I need to do it via command line because I am writing a dialog script using Yad dialogs. I know the scanner Lineart threshold can be controlled, because I can do it with xsane and it works well. Here is my /etc/saned/microtek2.conf: option dump 1 #option strip-height 14.0 /dev/sg5 option no-backtrack-option on option lightlid-35 on option toggle-lamp on option lineart-autoadjust on option backend-calibration on #option colorbalance-adjust on #scsi * * Scanner When I try to run a command to scan a document such as: scanimage -d microtek2:/dev/sg5 -x 250 -y 20 --resolution 200 --threshold 105 --mode Lineart --format=tiff > $HOME/faxproject/scans/image.tif I get an error message: scanimage: attempted to set inactive option threshold When I run scanimage -A it says that option is indeed inactive. So I tried putting the line: option threshold on in my /etc/saned/microtek2.conf file. That did not work either. I then tried putting that line in and also turning off the option lineart- autoadjust. That did not work either. So I am hoping that someone with more knowledge that I can tell me whether this is a bug or not, and if not, then show me how to turn the --threshold option on for this backend and this scanner. Any help appreciated.
