The X6EL should work with a newer version of the backend, available on<br>

<a href="ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/microtek2-pre0.6.291298.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/microtek2-pre0.6.291298.tar.gz</a> .<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
However, this version has lots of changes, and is not too well tested.<br>
|
|||
|
|
Alternatively you need perhaps a small patch to the 0.5 version of the backend<br>
|
|||
|
|
included in sane-1.00.<br>

No, but for a number models no one has reported success wirh sane, and<br>
|
|||
|
|
so they are not on the list of supported scanners. I think, that at least<br>
|
|||
|
|
some of the (SCSI) models that are not listed, work with the microtek2<br>
|
|||
|
|
backend (V300, V310, V600, X6EL, eventually with very few changes)<br>

|

|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Yes, this is true. A lightlid (transparency adapter) is separately available.<br>
|
|||
|
|
But I do not know, whether this slide and filmstrip adapter works.<br>
|
|||
|
|
Preliminary support for it is the version of the backend mentioned above,<br>
|
|||
|
|
but I think that no one tested it. I cannot do this myself, because my<br>
|
|||
|
|
scanner does not support this adapter.<br>

I don't know, but I cannot imagine, that it produces excellent results.<br>
