<P>
I have performed some experimentation with xsane, as I was wondering why
<BR>
the Copy feature was taking so long.
<BR>
<P>My setup is an Epson Perfection 1200S scanner (1200 dpi), and a Hewlett
<BR>
Packard LaserJet 6MP printer (600 dpi postscipt).
<BR>
<P>Using xsane, version 0.58, I performed the following tests, scanning
<BR>
greyscale of an A4 page. All scans at 200 dpi
<BR>
<P>Copy/Scan filetype filesize Printsize
<BR>
Copy -------- 65.9Mbytes
<BR>
ps 7.4Mbytes 7.6Mbytes
<BR>
jpeg 302kbytes
<BR>
png 501kbytes 4.8Mbytes
<BR>
pnm 3.8Mbytes
<BR>
tiff 552kbytes 4.7Mbytes
<BR>
<P>I made the initial mistake of using xv to print the jpeg files, which while
<BR>
producing a printfile of only 848.3kbytes, there was a loss of quality.
<BR>
The tiff and png printsizes were obtained using gimp.
<BR>
<P>The 200dpi postscript file was virtually identical to the Copy image.
<BR>
<P>Question - why does xsane send such a large file to the printer in the
<BR>
Copy mode. The ideal while scanning greyscale would seem to be to scan
<BR>
at third resolution of the b/w printer. Even scanning at 600 dpi to a
<BR>
postscript file produces a file of 31.8Mbytes.
<BR>
<P>I tried using xsane within Gimp, but the image was smaller - why?
<BR>
<P>Regards
<BR>
Harry
