Hiya,<br>
<p>
I (the microtek(1) author) have essentially been in hibernation for the<br>
last 7 months --- I haven't even used my own scanner; I haven't even<br>
tried xsane!<br>
This weekend I'll download fresh source code and get back into the <br>
swing of things, i.e. try to remember the last few things I was <br>
trying to do with the backend.<br>
<p>
Off the very top of my head, look through the backend man page and<br>
try the "no precal" option --- there is some kind of calibration<br>
that some scanners do on color images, which ends up making them<br>
miss the first 1/2 cm of the scanning tray; the backend by default<br>
trys to calibrate once, and then shut it off for successive scans.<br>
This is tricky, because the scanner hangs if it is not calibrated<br>
at all. Maybe something is sending some kind of reset to the scanner,<br>
so it loses the calibration info? It's been a while.<br>
Like I said, it will take me a few days to get rev'ved up....<br>
