<P>
Tom,
<BR>
<P>Is 'scanadf' included in the 1.04 frontends? (I'm still using 1.03)
<BR>
Has your TEXT frame type solution been suggested as a SANE standard
<BR>
mechanism?
<BR>
Would it be appropriate to do so? It seems that it could have some
<BR>
implications to the network scanning world i.e. network destination info,
<BR>
etc.
<BR>
<P>Thanks,
<BR>
Tom Davis

<EM>&gt; I agree that for the vast majority of scanning applications, scanning

until
<BR>
<EM>&gt; the ADF is empty is exactly what the user wants. However, there are common
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; variations...
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; In the production scanning world, group of pages to be scanned are
</EM><BR>
sometimes
<BR>
<EM>&gt; interspersed with separator pages on which information about what to do
</EM><BR>
with
<BR>
<EM>&gt; the group of pages is encoded. The scanners can actually decode the
</EM><BR>
separators
<BR>
<EM>&gt; and process the group accordingly.

<P>And sometimes the document itself has a barcode on it that holds a key piece
<BR>
of
<BR>
information which lets you know how to &quot;index&quot; the information into a
<BR>
database.
<BR>
<P>In each case, there needs to be a way to get this information from the
<BR>
decoder
<BR>
(in the backend) to the indexer (in the frontend). The way that I do that
<BR>
with
<BR>
scanadf and the Bell+Howell is with a TEXT frame type. Instead of getting
<BR>
image
<BR>
data, you get an xml encoded text that has all the info the the decoder
<BR>
wishes
<BR>
to send. Then the indexer parses it and does what it might, such as
<BR>
changing
<BR>
pagination and/or document numbering or assigning a keyword to the image(s)
<BR>
for
<BR>
storage in a database.
