Hi,
<BR>
<P>When we make a scan on the Microtek Scanmaker 3600 the brightness
<BR>
of the resulting image is uneven, being darker at the left and
<BR>
right edges and lighter in the centre. Scans made using scanwizard
<BR>
under windows do not show this unevenness.
<BR>
<P>I have tried to find evidence in the usb snoopy logs of parameters
<BR>
being set to compensate for this but there don't seem to be any.
<BR>
Also the backend currently makes scans by pretty much just
<BR>
reproducing the command stream that scanwizard makes so I strongly
<BR>
suspect that the compensation is done in software.
<BR>
<P>The inside of the scanner cover has, in front of the scan area, 3
<BR>
black dots, spaced at 2in apart, and a white strip which is as
<BR>
wide as the scan area. Scanwizard appears to make scans of this
<BR>
area before it does the first scan after starting up and sometimes
<BR>
when parameters are changed. There is a photo of the strip and
<BR>
dots at <A HREF="http://sm3600.sourceforge.net/calstrip.jpeg">http://sm3600.sourceforge.net/calstrip.jpeg</A> .
<BR>
<P>I guess the sm3600 backend also needs to use the dots and white
<BR>
strip to do some sort of compensation.
<BR>
<P>Does anyone have any references that discuss how this is done or
<BR>
do any of the other backends have code that does this? Any help
<BR>
would be greatly appreciated.
<BR>
<P>BTW if you want to try out the backend we have released a patch
<BR>
against sane 1.0.4 at our sourceforge project page:
<BR>
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/sm3600">http://sourceforge.net/projects/sm3600</A> .
<BR>
<P>Thanks
<BR>
