After not hearing any response to my query last week about the status of<br>
Microtek support, I got restless, so I wrote a backend for Microtek scanners.<br>
<p>
As you might expect, I got the programming information by deconstructing<br>
"mtekscan" (not for the faint-hearted), thus this backend doesn't work any<br>
better than that. In fact, it still has a quite a few holes to be plugged<br>
next weekend. Some controls are not yet implemented, including gamma table<br>
support. However, all the basic scan modes are there, and previewing under<br>
xscanimage works too. I figured I'd let it loose upon the world now for any<br>
other Microtek owners who are dying to see what SANE/xscanimage(/The Gimp)<br>
can do.<br>
<p>
I have an E6, so I can't vouch for any other models yet. 3-pass color<br>
scanning hasn't been implemented yet, definitely.<br>
<p>
<p>
Is there someplace where I should upload the source code?<br>
<p>
In the meantime, I made a little web page, and anyone who is interested can<br>
grab the source from:<br>
<a href="http://www.mir.com/mtek/">http://www.mir.com/mtek/</a><br>
<p>
If anybody has a lead on real Microtek programming documentation, or even<br>
any tweaks and patches which improved mtekscan operation for them, please<br>
send them my way.<br>
<p>
