[sane-devel] A3 flatbed scanners

2013-11-06 Thread Mike Wirth
Dale, Re scanning odd-sized objects, do you need to scan non-flat items, e.g., non-document objects that don't lie perfectly flat? I don't know if anybody tests depth-of-field or uniformity of illumination for objects not directly on the flatbed. Would be interesting to hear anecdotal evidence.

Folks, Bought a used Fujitsu fi-4750c scanner from an online auction at CSU San Marcos, about 35 miles north of San Diego, CA, mainly to get the unopened box of maintenance supplies that was part of the lot (for the scanner I already have). Thought a relative in San Diego could pick it up for me

2013-07-25 Thread Mike Wirth
Folks, Succeeded in installing SANE and xsane on an old PowerPC Mac G5 :-) It even talks to my Fujitsu fi-4750c for scanning with xsane using the SCSI card in my G5. Was able to scan from the flatbed and using the ADF from page fronts (at least for a single test page). So far, so,good. But whe

Folks, Sorry if this is off-topic, but this seems to be a good place to ask. I have a Fujitsu fi-4750C scanner with a SCSI interface, running happily from an old ThinkPad with full dock and SCSI PCI card. I'm using Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro as the scanning app (with OCR and ClearScan compression) wit

The good news: I am now the proud owner of a Fujitsu fi-4750C scanner and anticipate converting the mountain of paper in my life to bits in PDF files. The bad news: I now have to revisit the sins of my youth and reconstruct a suitable SCSI and driver environment so I can use my copy of Adobe Acrob
