Nope, not always the case. Among others, the Microtek E6 has a blank<br>
|
|
(8 spaces) vendor string. All-in-all, the microtek(1) backend looks<br>
|
|
for a choice of five possible strings (one is "AGFA", the other four<br>
|
|
are a variety of brain-dead Microtek options).<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It's a good idea to try to pick a bunch of characteristics that are<br>
|
|
particular to your scanner command set and unlikely to be duplicated<br>
|
|
in another scanner brand. The microtek(1) backend looks for:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
o a valid vendor string (out of 5 options, including blank)<br>
|
|
o a SCSI response format of 0x01 (which instantly knocks out<br>
|
|
microtek(2) scanners).<br>
|
|
o a valid model code, found in the microtek-specific byte #62.<br>
