You are very brave :-) I would not short two contacts without a resistor. For the first attempt I would use something like 1K. I doubt that any of the 24V lines are involved in sensing the TPU. If the 1K resistor does not give you any result, go down to 0.5K. How do you test if the TPU is re

Why not combine the two e.g. typedef SANE_Status { int code; int backend_code; } SANE_Status; SANE_Status.code is always a standard SANE status code, SANE_Status.backend_code is a backend specific code that could be passed to sane_backend_status(). that way the client code does not have to w

Hi, Here's a proposal for SANE2 regarding error handling. As of now, error handling is somewhat imprecise and often not meaningful, and we're spending everyone's time debugging problems that could be solved quickly if only the user was given the appropriate status/error message. I've got 2 altern

Hello again, It's going to be some retro demonstration if this goes to work. Thanks for all your replies. After some fiddling with the configuration files I found the number that defines "Blindfarbe" (shines just one of the three monochrome tubes in the gt-8000's sensor) for BW modes can be set 0

A "real" TPU is just a lamp behind some ground glass (or translucent plastic), so there is not "projection" involved: The sensor scans the illuminat4ed negative or slide directly. Have you checked out the link to the message from the guy who is using a lightbox on his Perfection 1200? He had som
