  Hi Volkmar,
  It would be useful to see an image that was scanned with your scanner, I
  think I will recognise if it is a calibration issue or not (but I suppose it
  is). Furthermore a logfile can give some useful information about the
  scanner. You can create one by setting "option dump 2" in the microtek2.conf
  file. Then type an "export SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK2=128" and "xscanimage 2>&1
  |tee xscan.log". You may try this with my newest version of the microtek2
  backend, you can get it at http://home.t-online.de/home/karsten.festag (I
  added your model code in todays version).

  Greetings

  Karsten

  P.S: Schöne Grüße aus Jena! (bin übrigens auch ein ehemaliger AROII-Schüler).
