&nbsp;Hi,
<BR>
&nbsp;I am new to the list and I have some technical questions - would be great
<BR>
if someone could explain.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;Basically I have a Canon 1220U scanner and snooped on it's USB packets
<BR>
and written a small test program that scans at 75dpi (as packets are
<BR>
smaller in this case). Now before doing anything else I wonder whether
<BR>
someone can explain to me how scanners look to programmer in general
<BR>
and how to interpret register data that I have.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;In particular:
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* I think I found 3 sets of data that looks like gamma. Does it make
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sense ?
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* The scanner is said to be 30 (or 32 ?) bit but I only get 24bit data
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is it supposed to be so ?
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* I also have 2 of 3 sets (one for R, G and B) of bitmasks that seem
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to turn sensors on and off. (when bit is unset the data comes in as
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0 ). What are they for ?
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* there are also some registers that drive the motor - I can use them
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but if there are some general ideas about how they should work I'll
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be happy to listen
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* I don't understand how sensor is switched from 75dpi mode to higher
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;dpi mode. (i.e. I can drive the carriage at different resolutions,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but I don't know how to get the sensor to output higher precision
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;data)
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;thank you very much
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vladimir Dergachev
