<i>&gt; Is there any way to tell a mustek (MFS-12000SP) scanner to use different</i><br>
<i>&gt; resolutions for x and y direction ? </i><br>
I haven't got the mustek docs handy yet (got to search for them ... they are <br>
somewhere lost in drive-space), but from the sane-source I believe this is <br>
not possible (only a single value is set).<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I want to use it for G3 fax, ie. 204x98 or 204x196 dpi, with accurate scaling;</i><br>
<i>&gt; dropping or doubling lines is no good idea and I'm looking for some better</i><br>
<i>&gt; (generic) way than interpolating from a higher resolution... Any ideas ?</i><br>
<p>
The typical Fax-Application is sending black text/simple graphics on white<br>
background. Thus I would suggest scanning at 204 dpi and or-ing (|) the <br>
lines you would otherwise drop with the previous ones. <br>
<p>
If you scan in Lineart mode, I think this is the way to go. "Dropping" 8 <br>
lines per inch will result in such an "artifact-line" every 3 mm what should <br>
be close enough not to be too much annoying.<br>
<p>
Real interpolation will require using a grayscale image and weighted adding <br>
of the lines. I don't believe it will give much better results, except if <br>
you are sending greyscale images or weird patterns.<br>
<p>
What I actually do (inspired by my system setup) is always converting the<br>
scan (resolution chosen at scan-time) to postscript and sending it to one<br>
of my printer-queues (one of which is a FAX driver). So I leave the problem<br>
to Ghostscript. Works pretty well for me, though I probably don't have<br>
exact scaling.<br>
