<P>
This is probably a good model for most scanners, since the task division
<BR>
appears to separate an I/O intensive task (acquiring the scan data) from a
<BR>
CPU intensive task (whatever processes the sane_read() data... often a
<BR>
compression task).

Subject: Backend: When to use reader process?
<BR>
<P><P>Hi,
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've noticed that the driver I am basing my M3091 work on, the
<BR>
M3096 driver which was in turn derived from the Coolscan driver, uses
<BR>
a separate process for reading data from the scanner, which is then
<BR>
fed via a pipe file descriptor to sane_read.
<BR>
<P>Other drivers (like the Bell+Howell backend I've been looking at for
<BR>
duplex inspiration) don't use a separate process.
<BR>
<P>Which would be the preferred way to implement it for a max. 15ppm ADF
<BR>
scanner?
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Frederik
