TKSCAN, SANE and a Mustek MFC-600S scanner are a great combination.<br>
<p>
Thought I would let you know about a problem I encountered using<br>
scanimage,<br>
tkscan and a Mustek MFC-600S. While I have sucessfully ran this setup,<br>
initially I had several problems which required a few hours of<br>
troubleshooting (I'm no Linux genius)<br>
<p>
The first problem I had with scanimage is that it locks up<br>
while doing command "scanimage -L"<br>
I'm not certain if I need any other options, but it will lock and not<br>
display an output. My setup consists of a INI9100 SCSI (SIIG AP-10)<br>
controller, the<br>
scanner on ID 03, a Multi-Lun Pioneer CD rom on ID04. I have<br>
/dev/scanner<br>
(a copy of /dev/sga) set to 21,0<br>
<p>
<p>
The other problem I have is when tkscan (compiled to mustek-scanimage)<br>
will<br>
cause scanimage to display the output "setting option --br-y failed<br>
(Invalid<br>
argument)". After researching and seeing that the geometry settings put<br>
out<br>
by tkimage were causing this message, I checked with "scanimage --help<br>
--device mustek:/dev/scanner" which tells me:<br>
Geometry:<br>
-l 0..220mm [0]<br>
-t 0..292mm [0]<br>
-x 0..220mm [220]<br>
-y 0..292mm [292]<br>
I do not know if these are max values reported by the scanner or<br>
compiled<br>
into the SANE Mustek driver.<br>
However, any value set greater than these will cause the "setting option<br>
<p>
--br-y failed (Invalid argument)" to be put out by scanimage and lockup,<br>
and<br>
tkscan will error out at this point as well.<br>
<p>
In short, tkscan will put out the default geometry 0, 0, 217.222222222,<br>
295.611111111 (for the whole sizeable scanning area) and cause problems<br>
with<br>
scanimage which doesn't seem to like those values.<br>
<p>
My Mustek MFC-600S scanner has a 223mm width x 296 height maximum<br>
scanning area,<br>
supporting letter (8 1/2 inches x 11 inches or 216mm x 292) and A4<br>
(210mm x<br>
296mm). It appears that the max length value is the culprit, scanimage<br>
(or<br>
the scanner) only allowing an 11 inch (292mm) pagelength, and not the<br>
max A4<br>
(296mm) setting on my scanner glass.<br>
<p>
Tkscan really isn't the problem, but<br>
what I need to know in order to modify the tkscan script is if 292mm<br>
is:<br>
A. As far as my scanner will go (even though it has A4 page length<br>
marks<br>
and the glass area is 223x296)<br>
B. Some sort of default geometry imposed by the SANE Mustek driver...<br>
