							|  |  |  | <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        The  <B>sane-umax1220</B>  library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        backend for the the UMAX Astra 1220U scanner. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        For  the   latest   information   on   this   backend,   please   visit |

							|  |  |  | <H2>UMAX ASTRA 2000U EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT</H2><PRE> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        This backend may also be able to drive the UMAX Astra 2000U.  Some peo- | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        ple are successful with it, others report that the colors come out ter- | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        rible. Your milage may vary. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        From  Stephane  (the  author of sane-umax_pp), I learned that there are | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        differences in the way the color calibration is performed on the  1220U | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        and  the  2000U and it may account for the problem.  Stephane's backend | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        support the 2000P, the parallel port sibling to the 2000U.  It  may  be | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        possible  to use ideas and code from Stephane's backend to add complete | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |        support for the 2000U to this backend. Since I do not have access to an |
