<P>
I just uploaded a new release of the EPSON backend to my web site. The
<BR>
software can be downloaded from here:
<BR>
/<A HREF="http://www.freecolormanagement.com/download/sane_epson_20001209.tar.gz">http://www.freecolormanagement.com/download/sane_epson_20001209.tar.gz</A>
<BR>
<P>This release adds support for the newer EPSON scanners that provide more
<BR>
than 8 bit data per color channel. These are e.g. the
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- Expression 1600
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- Perfection 1240
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- Perfection 1640
<BR>
<P>In addition to these new features there are also bug fixes in this release.
<BR>
The more important ones are:
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- fix for user defined gamma curves when scanning negatives
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- the UI is refreshed when the scan mode is changed from BW to grayscale
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and vice versa - the image file size is now displayed correctly.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- read optical resolution and line distance information from sanner instead
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of using hardcoded values (this did not yet cause a problem, but may
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the future if EPSON releases scanners that use different values than
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Perfection610).
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- display &quot;Set Focus Control&quot; only for scanners that do support this feature.
<BR>
<P>Please download this backend if you are using one of the newer scanners, or
<BR>
if you run into any of the problems fixed in this release.
<BR>
<P>To install the software you need a source distribution of SANE (any newer
<BR>
release will do, but I suggest you get the latest snapshot release from
<BR>
www.mostang.com/sane). Copy the four files from the backend directory in
<BR>
my backend distribution file into the backend directory of your SANE
<BR>
distribution and start &quot;make&quot;. Install the SANE software as usual.
<BR>
<P>Please report any problems you have with this release directly via email
<BR>
to me (<A HREF="mailto:khk@khk.net?Subject=Re:%20New%20Release%20of%20EPSON%20Backend&In-Reply-To=&lt;20001209160609.A31059@khk.net&gt;">khk@khk.net</A>).
<BR>
<P>Have fun with your scanner,
<BR>
<P>Karl Heinz
