<i>&gt; And potential for scanner destruction... ;-(</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Alexander&gt; Is there any way to define the scan area depending on the</i><br>
<i>&gt; Alexander&gt; document type? Or what else can I do?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; In theory, the Mustek backend can already detect the presence of a</i><br>
<i>&gt; transparency adapter (but it doesn't know much else). If you set</i><br>
<i>&gt; environment variable SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK to a value &gt;=2, you should see</i><br>
<i>&gt; a message of the form:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; [mustek] attach: found Mustek scanner model BLAH (BLAH), 1-pass, TA</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; The important thing being the "TA". If you see this, the backend</i><br>
<i>&gt; detected the transparency adapter and dev-&gt;flags will have flag</i><br>
<i>&gt; MUSTEK_FLAG_TA set. With this, it would be easy to adjust the</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanning area.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Patches for supporting transparancy adapters would be of course very</i><br>
<i>&gt; welcome (I don't have such a beat myself). If you end up playing with</i><br>
<i>&gt; this, let me know and I'll see about getting the Mustek SCSI command</i><br>
<i>&gt; docs to you.</i><br>
<p>
Shouldn't it suffice to test out which length the TA has and adjust the <br>
defaults accordingly ?<br>
<p>
Another tip for Mustek scanner owners:<br>
<p>
I finally got upset enough about the stripes of dirt on the _under_side <br>
of the scanner glass which degraded scan quality for me quite a bit <br>
(the scanner had been delivered in that state ...) to open it and clean<br>
it. This is a painless operation on the MFS-12000SP (just remove the lid<br>
and 4 screws), so do not hesitate to do it.<br>
