<i>&gt; Sven&gt; So far... Has anyone of you heard of similar experiences? Do</i><br>
<i>&gt; Sven&gt; you know someone who uses this model with Linux? Any ideas how</i><br>
<i>&gt; Sven&gt; to solve this?</i><br>
<i>&gt; There was one other report: that scanner got damaged because the scan</i><br>
<i>&gt; area length was wrong. What is the SCSI id string you get for your</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner? If it is MFC-08000CZ, then this might explain the problem.</i><br>
I had a similar problem, too. My MFS-12000SP was once configured to have a<br>
_slightly_ too large scanning area which caused a nasty sound when it<br>
hit the bottom of the scanning area. Fortunately the mechanics were not<br>
damaged, but readjusted themselves correctly, after I had turned the<br>
scanner off and on again.<br>
<p>
We should probably place a "big fat warning" somewhere to tell people<br>
to try with small scan areas first.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; How did the scanner go "crazy"? Did it start scaning normally and</i><br>
<i>&gt; then when it hit the end of the scan surface it got very noisy? If</i><br>
<i>&gt; so, that would explain a lot.</i><br>
I will try to check, as I probably know the "victim".<br>
(Sven: It was Rio, right ?)<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; In any case, I'm sorry to hear that the mustek backend fried your</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner. I hope it's still under warranty and that you'll get a</i><br>
<i>&gt; replacement quickly. Before wasting another scanner, could you send</i><br>
<i>&gt; me the following info:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; - SCSI id string you get at boot up (something like MFC-08000CZ)</i><br>
Only "Scanner", if my guess above is right. This seems to be the new<br>
firmware &gt;2.0 . I suppose they have done this to make OEMing easier ...<br>
<p>
I have had another complaint about these scanner types not working<br>
correctly, but this seemed to be rather a problem of the adaptor.<br>
<p>
I will report about that, when I hear more from it.<br>
<p>
CU,ANdy<br>
<p>
P.S.: Could you tell your Mustek contact, that it would be a good idea to<br>
spend an extra $2 for a hardware switch which prevents the carrier<br>
from hitting into the bottom ?<br>
