Have you tried to run scanimage as root? if that works it is probably
related to http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux

Send it back and get yourself a scanner you can find in the list of
already supported scanners (
http://sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html ).

Personally I have an Epson Perfection 4490 with an Automatic Document
Feeder (ADF) (optional accessory to this scanner) that I use using iscan
( http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html ) , there is a sane
plugin on that page as well if you want to use other frontends.

http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux , read the "Permissions:" section.

"One solution to set permissions on-the-fly is Linux udev which comes
with current distributions. SANE comes with a udev rules file in the
tools/udev directory which may be used by distributions or can be copied
to /etc/udev/rules.d manually. The file format is explained on top of
the file itself. Either you need libusb 0.1.12 or newer or
USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb must be exported as a system-wide
environment variable."

What does a "dmesg" command reveal? it sounds like your issue is having
some similarities with one of my systems, where the USB module seems to
be flooded at times. you can try a "sudo lsmod | grep -i usb" and
possibly remove, e.g. uhci-hcd ("sudo rmmod uhci-hcd"), possibly with
the force "-f" argument, and load it again using "sudo modprobe uhci-hcd"

Another issue might be that the computer is expecting USB2 and is
sending data too fast for the scanner to react to it, I remember this to
be a problem in the past with the CS3200F (experimental) module, "Known
issues: There may be problems with communications with the scanner if
you are running a fast processor (this was found by Kristian
Fiskerstrand, thanks!).It may happen, e.g., that after uploading the
firmware reading it back fails and thence the boot fails. I will
take a look at those speed issues later." (
http://www.scanners-on-linux.com/node/36 )

Personally I can recommend the Epson Perfection 4490 with the optional
ADF, that works perfectly for me.

A full speed device is a device using the full speed of USB 1, as
opposed to e.g. a mouse/keyboard, that is generally low speed.

USB 2 identifies as high speed.

[sane-devel] Merging multiple images into PDF

2006-10-19 Thread Kristian Fiskerstrand
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Greetings list,

I recently purchased an Epson Perfection 4490 Office W/Document Feeder
(ADF) and it is working very nicely using iscan (
http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html ) .

The reason for getting this scanner in the first place was a discussion
on this list where it was recommended, so thank you.

Now, I only have one question with regards to it, and that is merging
multiple images into a single PDF file. When scanning I get files in the
format somename-.jpg , .pnm or .png depending on the format I
specify. and I would very much like to merge them into a single file to
send out.

I've tried to get this to work using a couple of different approaches.
Using ImageMagick's convert was one of them, both into PDF directly and
into PostScript and convert it to PDF using ps2pdf afterwards, but both
of these approaches were un-successful in the terms of acceptable
output. I tried adjusting -density and -page but I still don't get
acceptable output from my 300dpi scans.

In addition I tried a perl script called jpg2pdf, which is supposed to
generate "albums" from multiple images, but that as well was unsuccessful.

After that I considered creating my own online PDF-service using FPDF (
http://www.fpdf.org/ ), but the initial testing shows that the cropping
gets all wrong. That said this is the approach that has gotten me the
furthest as of yet and that I'm most likely to persue unless someone has
a good suggestion for me. The downside is of course the transfer of >
1MB image files and downloading the resulting PDF file again.

Yours sincerely,
