<i>&gt; &gt; Just calcualte the Data the scanner needs to transfer.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; As Far as I could find the Mustek Scanner justs uses async transfer</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; to the HOST which could be as slow as 1.5MB/S (even if you Adapter</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; could get up to 7MB/s )</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; An tiny Area of 1" times 1" brings you with 24 Bit and 1200 dpi Color</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; into 4320000 Bytes of Imagedata. if the scanner is able to scan that within</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; 1 Second the scanner needs to stop to get rid of the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Data.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Well, under Windows95 it usually never did backtracking. When it did,</i><br>
<i>&gt; it only backed up half the number of times it does with sane. This</i><br>
<i>&gt; was with the little cheap controller it came with too.</i><br>
<p>
I suspect the driver just got a lot more of Data in one chunk, or just<br>
issued the READ Command almost immediatly after completition of the<br>
previous one. If you watch the Statusbar in the Win95 tool, you might<br>
have detected, that it just moves one or two times if you scane an area of <br>
2x3 inches (estimate). I think they use an awful big buffer for<br>
scanning, or at least TWAIN uses a real big one bevore sending it<br>
to the applikation.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; There had got to be a way to get it as fast as under Windows. My scanner</i><br>
<i>&gt; is backtracking every half inch sometimes. Under Win95 it always moved at</i><br>
<i>&gt; least a couple of inches before backtracking.</i><br>
<p>
I would love top get the gray mode working :-(.<br>
But I think the Idea with using a MEG of SG Buffer is no good Idea.<br>
I probably will experimet a bit on the comingf weekend. building a small<br>
testprogramm which tries to get the READ Command issued as soon<br>
as possible. <br>
<p>
Gruss<br>
