Hi,

<P>On Thu, Nov 30, 2000 at 12:54:20PM -0500, <A HREF="mailto:kate@kens.com?Subject=Re:%20Scanner%20config:%20Microtek%203E&In-Reply-To=&lt;20001130210427.B22132@vortex.swb.de&gt;">kate@kens.com</A> wrote:

<EM>&gt; I've successfully installed SuSE 7.0, and am trying to get the scanner to

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Its a Microtek E3 that worked under windows as is - so we can rule out
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; cord or termination problems, I am told.
</EM><BR>
<P>Sometimes Linux drivers are more critical conecrning termination and
<BR>
cable issues. So maybe you want to check this also (Termination at
<BR>
both ends, cable is how long?)
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; SCSI card advansys revA ASC3150 on an IDE system.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The SCSI adapter is recognized no problem, sane is installed, the scanner
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; is recognized under 'scanimage -L' as a Mikrotec 3E. So far, so good.
</EM><BR>
<P>At least the SCSI driver seems to work in principle.
<BR>
Some drivers need options to get them working with scanners, e.g.
<BR>
disable disconnect/reconnect. I don't know this driver so you may want
<BR>
to look ath the documentation of the scsi driver.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Starting xscanimage offers a selection box that differs from the booklet.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (I have the personal version - no big manual included) The booklet shows a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; box that includes;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; pnm:0
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; pnm:1
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek:/dev/scanner
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek:/dev/sga
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; My box shows only;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek:/dev/scanner
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek:/dev/sga
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I do not know if this is relevant.
</EM><BR>
<P>It isn't. The pnm entries are test backends. They are commented out by
<BR>
default in newer SANE releases. Probably the manual was written for an
<BR>
older version.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; This is the error message generated:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scanimage:sane_start: Error during device I/O
</EM><BR>
<P>It looks like something in the SCSI mlayer went wrong. The error
<BR>
message could be more clear :-) Is there any output from the SCSI
<BR>
controller in the syslog (/var/log/messages)?
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; The manual also refers to the 'sgcheck' command - there is no sign of this
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; on my system. It does not work. But my hardward guy assures me there is no
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; problem with the addressing.
</EM><BR>
<P>sgcheck just looks for SCSI devices and prints out the coresponding
<BR>
device file. As SANE finds your scanner, you don't need sgcheck.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I did save the output of SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK to a url if anyone wants to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; look at it:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; <A HREF="http://www.katewerk.com/file.txt">http://www.katewerk.com/file.txt</A>
</EM><BR>
<P>&quot;The requested URL /file.txt was not found on this server.&quot;
<BR>
The file is there but the permissions may be wrong.
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
