  Hi Oliver,
  I am new to this standard & what I understood from the source code that
  SANE is sending scanned document in terms of SANE_bytes with the help
  of SANE_read function.Pls explain me in detail how to do conversion of these
  bytes
  in whatever format I want.
  Which is the format of these bytes read is not known.Or I have to store in a
  temporary file
  as is?
  My first problem is storing these files in specific format.
  Once this is done I can use libtiff / libjpeg APIs to convert current form
  to tiff/jpeg.
  What you have replied below is not very clear to me.
  Pls help me.

  Thanks & regards
  Bye

  Hi,

  for sane-1 you have to uncompress the data you get from the scanner
  and send the data in RGB format to the frontend.

  Bye
  Oliver
