<i>&gt; &gt; small D-SUB connector on the rear of the scanner is the interface to the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; TMA and the ASF, and enables it. I was not able to find reasonable</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; information about it, but am assuming some type of an identification</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; function.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; If supported the driver can inquire the scanner attributes separately for</i><br>
<i>&gt; the fletbed, the TMA and the ADF. It is also possible to check, whether</i><br>
<i>&gt; a TMA is actually connected to the scanner, and to activate/deactivate</i><br>
<i>&gt; the corresponding options in the frontend according to the result</i><br>
<i>&gt; of this check.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; In any case the backend must specify the scan source (fletbed, TMA, ...)</i><br>
<i>&gt; when a scan is started.</i><br>
My problem is, that I don't have the original TMA but an "universal"<br>
one. If the detection of the original TMA by the scanner is halfway<br>
simple to bypass, then I could use it and wouldn't have to go through<br>
returning the wrong TMA and ordering the Microtek one.<br>
Thats why I asked the question, kow it detects the original TMA, if it<br>
is just a wired connection in the plug or a switch, then it should not<br>
be too hard to build a dummy plug, that solves my problem.<br>
