<EM>&gt; &gt; Greetings,

<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I'm running RH 6.2 and using the supplied version of Gimp and sane-1.0.1-4. I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; have a problem getting output from this combination that comes close to the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; quality of the output I get using the supplied Windows Twain interface (
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; VistaScan ) that came with my UMAX Astra 1220S.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; The problem is difficult to explain but if you look at these jpegs I think you
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; can see what I mean. There is a faint line of pixels on the xscanimage
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; captured image and it's hard to see here but the uniformaty of the pixels on
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; the vistascan captured image is much smoother than that of xscanimage.

<EM>&gt; &gt; Both images are scanned using the same source at 300 dpi. I've used whatever

<EM>&gt; &gt; default settings there are with each interface.

<EM>&gt; Hi Rod,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; this looks like a problem of your scsi bus or drivers.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
snippp &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

<P>Thanks Oliver. I tried a few things assuming is was a SCSI buss/driver problem
<BR>
as you suggested. Being a long time SCSI user, I have a few different SCSI
<BR>
cards around. The original configuration was using an old Adaptec AHA1542CF.
<BR>
I substituted in a newer Adaptec 2940AU and got similar results. I also tried
<BR>
an ASUS PCI-SC200 ( 53C810 ) and got the same result. In all instances I tried
<BR>
both the scanner as the only device on the BUSS and in addition to other
<BR>
devices. Of course I terminated appropriately.
<BR>
<P>I then tried using a different computer with RH6.2 and the SC200 and was
<BR>
surprised to find that the scan was clean. I'm assuming if I tried the other
<BR>
SCSI cards I would get a similar result. So I'm back to where I started
<BR>
without a solution ( Using this other computer for scanning is not a solution
<BR>
). My current configuration does not work for me and I'm at a loss as to how
<BR>
to correct the problem.
<BR>
<P>I get clean scans if I use Windows or another machine. I get dirty scans if I
<BR>
use sane on this particular machine. I've tried different cards, therefor
<BR>
different drivers with the same result. I've tried the same buss arrangement
<BR>
on two different computers with different results so it doesn't seem to be buss
<BR>
related.
<BR>
<P>Any other suggestions on a way to tackle this issue?
<BR>
<P>Cheers,
<BR>
<P><PRE>
