Hi,<br>
<p>
I've just bought a Microtek ScanMaker 630 and tried to get it going<br>
with SANE under Linux.<br>
The distribution I use came with SANE 0.73, and had a couple of<br>
problems with backend Microtek2 - which had already been reported on<br>
this Mailinglist in June (seg.fault/premature crashes of scanimage,<br>
xscanimage left X hanging,...). Also, scanned lineart pictures were<br>
inverted (black came out as white and vice versa).<br>
<p>
According to the Bernd's suggestion given then I got the improved<br>
version of the backend: microtek2-0.3.tar.gz.<br>
With it, things seem to work fine, at least for lineart, halftone, and<br>
8bit Gray.<br>
<p>
However, 24bit Color doesn't quite work properly. All my scans end up<br>
with basically only two colors: a neon green instead of black, and<br>
pink instead of white. Except for those colors, the picture pretty<br>
much looks like the 8bit Gray one.<br>
I wonder whether this is a problem of SANE/the Microtek2 backend, or<br>
more likely a defect of my scanner?<br>
<p>
I haven't tried the original software due to harddisk size<br>
restriction. In my eyes, these colors seem to be so typical, that<br>
an expert probably knows what's wrong with it right off hand.<br>
Since I'm new to scanning and this is my first scanner, it would be<br>
really nice if someone could give me a hint.<br>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
Matthias<br>
