<i>&gt; Hi,</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; My HP C6270A works with scan-hp driver.</i><br>
<i>&gt; However, there are a couple of problems I noticed:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; 1. The first time I ran the "xscanimage" it took five minutes</i><br>
<i>&gt; each time I scanned a page. ...</i><br>
<i>&gt; Later I figured out why: My home directory is NFS mounted, ...</i><br>
<i>&gt; Documenting this "feature" should be sufficient.</i><br>
<p>
Hi,<br>
<p>
there are several things about the home-directory<br>
(see manual page for xscanimage):<br>
SANE creates a .sane-directory<br>
xscanimage creates a .sane/xscanimage directory<br>
hp-backend tries to find a file in the .sane-directory<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; 2. The quality I get is random. The first time I used it</i><br>
<i>&gt; I was getting all sorts of gray "dirt" like I had smired</i><br>
<i>&gt; ink on the page. The next time (after a reboot) I kept</i><br>
<i>&gt; getting rainbows across the page, or dark bands in grey</i><br>
<i>&gt; mode. After a third reboot, I began getting nearly perfect</i><br>
<i>&gt; scans.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Solution: If this is a bug in the software, then the</i><br>
<i>&gt; best solution is to fix it.</i><br>
<p>
I am not quite sure what the problem is. Maybe its a problem of the software,<br>
maybe the scanner does not return enough data. But in that case I would<br>
expect to get an error code from the read-routine.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; If this is a problem with</i><br>
<i>&gt; the scanner, then there needs to be a way to reset the</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner other than rebooting my machine. ...</i><br>
<p>
The first command that is send to the scanner is a Reset.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; the scanner... I also tried just unplugging the scanner,</i><br>
<i>&gt; but then I can't access the scanner at all until I reboot.</i><br>
<p>
On my Linux machine I can switch off and on the scanner (a HP photosmart)<br>
and with the second restart of xscanimage it gets the scanner.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; 3. If there is paper in the auto document feeder when I start</i><br>
<i>&gt; the "xscanimage" program for the first time, it decides my</i><br>
<i>&gt; pages have zero lines. (This makes for very fast scans of</i><br>
<i>&gt; zero size files...)</i><br>
<p>
I have to look how HP wants the ADF to be handled. Up to now there is no<br>
special support for the ADF. From another user I have heard, that it works<br>
if the ADF is empty when starting xscanimage.<br>
<p>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; 4. Is there a way to specify an output program? e.g.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; |cjpeg -q 100 &amp;gt; foo.jpg</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; as the output program? ...</i><br>
<p>
That should be handled by the frontend. I think some e-mails ago<br>
there was an attemp for adding filters.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; 5. Is there a way to tell the program to scan all the pages</i><br>
<i>&gt; in the document feeder?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<p>
Currently not. In this case we also should have an<br>
automatic numbering of output files like out%d.pnm .<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; ...</i><br>
<i>&gt; we have no control over. To do this, I'll probably have to code</i><br>
<i>&gt; things to use the sane.so files directly. Is there any documentation</i><br>
<i>&gt; for the API interface, or will I just have to study the source</i><br>
<i>&gt; code?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<p>
You can have a look at the file sane-&lt;version&gt;/doc/sane.tex<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Thanks,</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Bill</i><br>
<p>
Sincerely<br>
<p>
Peter<br>
