Hi,

<P>I'm writing a backend for the Bearpaw 1200. As the Scanners are
<BR>
probably quite similar (9831 versus 9832) they can be supported by one
<BR>
backend. At the moment I can read and write registers, turn on the
<BR>
lamp, move the slider and reset the scanner. All this seems to work
<BR>
for the 2400, too, as far as I can tell from the first tests. I will
<BR>
email you more information and my code.
<BR>
<P>Some documentation about the chip is at
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Mouse/5403/">http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Mouse/5403/</A>
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I read some docs and I also looked through some backends sources. I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; can't understand one thing. How can I send some configuration data to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; my scanner using only the special file /dev/usb/scanner0? I mean that
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; my scanner has 127 registers and I have to choose somehow which
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; register I want to read/write.
</EM><BR>
<P>For some reason this isn't explained in the documentation of the
<BR>
National Semiconductor Merlin 9831/9832 chip. At least I couldn't find
<BR>
it. It's simple (copied from my mail a few days ago:)
<BR>
<P>You need just simple reads and writes to the /dev/usbscanner or
<BR>
whatever file.
<BR>
<P>Byte 0: read (1) or write (0). Use incremental write/read: add 2.
<BR>
Byte 1: register number
<BR>
Byte 2: bytes to write/read MSB
<BR>
Byte 3: bytes to write/read LSB
<BR>
<P>For a write just add the buffer you want to send (e.g. for writing to
<BR>
one register, you would have 5 bytes total). For a read, write the
<BR>
four bytes and read as many bytes as specified after that.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I figured out that ESCape (0x1B)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; character has samoe special meaning because it's always sent as the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; first byte - how does it work? Could someone answer me?
</EM><BR>
<P>That maybe correct for the HP scanners. For the Bearpaw 2400 and 1200
<BR>
it doesn't have a special meaning. By the way, the Bearpaw 1200F seems
<BR>
to be a completely different scanner, it uses a chip named &quot;Mustek
<BR>
1509&quot;.
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
