[sane-devel] continuous capture from scanner

There are continuous feed scanners. Plenty exist in the office-copier form factor, some are desktop models (HP high-capacity document scanners), and plenty are photograph scanners. Ages ago you could get a sheet feed scanner that mounted on top of a keyboard (or just sat alone), a 2"x10" cylinder

I understand the CCD/CIS distinction -- I wasn't planning on moving the light adjacent to the scan head, just thinking about what sort of extra lighting might be necessary. I found some older models of the Corex Cardscan that seem pretty cheap and hackable, but I can't find the 800 model. Is t

Have taken a look at the libusb/darwin.c code, and as far as I can see, usb _interrupt_ read sequences do not support a timeout. Timeouts are only used for normal read or write operations. Now I understand the meaning of the last message that appears in your logs: "USB pipe is an interrupt pipe. T

sounds like a solution looking for a problem :) Try searching the mailing list archives for 'music' - this idea comes up occasionally. read up on CIS vs CCD machines before you decide to mess with the light source. I would also suggest you expand your search to include ADF machines. It is only 4

Hey Allan + everyone, I had a scanner, but I took it apart to understand it at a hardware level... I took it too far (to the point of needing to generate clock signals for the scan head, etc.) I'd much rather work at a software level than reverse engineering the scan head. I would remove the r

sane is not the problem, but rather, which scanner? many of them produce ugly scans if they are not calibrated, and many of them have the red/green/blue read-heads offset from one another so that they cannot produce a scan of a single line. many of them will choke if they cannot move the read head.
