Dear List,
<BR>
<P>Part of this question is more on scanner-hardware in general, I hope it's
<BR>
okay to ask this here as backend-developers probably know about flatbed
<BR>
scanner hardware - else just ignore me and I'll shut up.
<BR>
<P>For hacking together a &quot;TFT-monitor -&gt; photographic paper&quot;-enlarger I'm
<BR>
looking for a cheap solution to xy-position the photographic paper within a
<BR>
maximum tolerance of about 0.05mm (about 0.002in, the resolution of 500dpi).
<BR>
Commercial xy-tables are rather expensive, so I thought why not disassemble
<BR>
two cheap flatbed scanners and build your own?
<BR>
<P>So here (finally) is my question:
<BR>
<P>Does anybody know a cheap scanner model that is supported in SANE that I
<BR>
could trick into just moving for a specified length? (and that would stay
<BR>
there and not just return to default position as during a normal scan process)
<BR>
<P>Thanks for any help,
<BR>
christian
