Hello,<br>
<p>
I use sane0.62 with my mustek 1200spro (connected to an ADAPTEC 2940<br>
scsi adapter). I have a question about backtracking. <br>
<p>
<p>
When I scan color images at resolutions of say 300dpi the scan process<br>
works right, but is very slow. This is because the scanner scans some<br>
line and then goes back (that=B4s backtracking if I understood it right)<br>
and then scans the next lines. Looking at the scanner it seems the the<br>
way the scanner goes back is just a little smaller then the way it has<br>
scanned before. Scanning a paper of size DINA4 (~30cm at length, ~21cm<br>
wide) at 300dpi takes about 2min and 45 sec. If I scan at 100 dpi the<br>
effect is basically still there but the sanner then scans a larger area<br>
in one step before going back only a little. So the whole thing works<br>
faster.<br>
<p>
What suprises me a lot, is that under windows doing the same scanprocess<br>
at the same resolution (via the mustec-twain driver) does not cause<br>
backtracking to occur and is completed much much faster (not even half<br>
the time).<br>
<p>
So is this backtracking really needed, can scan speed be increased even<br>
with backtracking? What I tried is to call scanimage with the option<br>
--speed Fastest and I commented out the option -- option strip-height<br>
in my mustek.conf file and set the buffersize SG_BIG_BUFF to the value<br>
documented in sane-scsi (130560), recompiled kernel and sane.<br>
<p>
Can someone try to explain this difference between twain-windows and<br>
sane-linux to me ?<br>
<p>
Thanks a lot,<br>
<p>
Rainer<br>
