Hi!<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I exspected an answer like this. As you may have noticed it, I am new<br>
|
|
to SANE. Ok, I know that this is not the best way to use SANE,<br>
|
|
but my program is written in REXX and I don't have the time to <br>
|
|
wrap SANE into a REXX-DLL, so that I can more easily access it from<br>
|
|
a script (I don't like these compiling languages, runtime errors that<br>
|
|
only occur when the users tries the program are much more exciting...)<br>
|
|
Maybe I will do this later.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Another thing is that it seems that every model has different commands<br>
|
|
e.g. for setting the resolutions, etc. Is this true?<br>
|
|
I know that at least for a Microtek it says '-resolution' and<br>
|
|
for a Canon '-Xresolution' and '-Yresolution'.<br>
|
|
Or to define the scan area, one says mm, the other says pixels. I know<br>
|
|
that I can convert them - I even know how ;-) - but this suprises me.<br>
|
|
Is there a more general way to access the scanners?<br>
|
|
Impos/2 for example provides a consistent API for accessing the<br>
|
|
scanners. Is there something similar available for SANE?<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|

|
|
<p>
|
|
Again, I know this. So, if anyone could help me to do this 'dirty<br>
|
|
thing', it would be nice. I need it because I want to provide as many<br>
|
|
as possible supported scanners out of the box. <br>
|
|
And I promise to look for a better solution in the future...<br>
