<p>
I'm going to guess that it's because SANE is a community project, and no<br>
one in the community has yet needed support for Fujitsu scanners :-)<br>
<p>
I have the protocol manual for the 3099 series (huge high-speed, duplex<br>
scanner for serious document imaging work) on order, but they inform me<br>
that it won't be heading my way until May. The technicians at Fujitsu said<br>
that all of their scanner line use a similar protocol, so the backend I<br>
initially write for the 3099 will, I hope be the basis for supporting most<br>
of Fujitsu's line.<br>
<p>
I'm going to have to tackle the 3097DG Duplex SCSI, as well, which means<br>
that I'll be working with the lower-volume units (Fujitsu calls them<br>
"Departmental" units). Anyway, unless someone else is already working on<br>
Fujitsu drivers, consider it underway (in the sense that I've ordered<br>
docs, but can't start coding until I get them).<br>
<p>
If the 10C is reasonably compatible with the core of the 3097/3099, then<br>
it ought to work out of the box. If it's not compatible, or if there are<br>
features in the 10C/15C that aren't covered in the 309x protocol, then<br>
I'll have to convince you to order me a copy of the spec for that scanner,<br>
and order me some pizzas.<br>
