<p>
I just acquired a ScanMaker X6EL, and I noticed the same strange<br>
behavior: the scanned image is OK after a powercycle, but the following<br>
scans result in "weird" colors. <br>
I have not had time to investigate the problem so far, but here is<br>
some additional info: <br>
<p>
The problem seems to happen for 24-bit Color and 8-bit Gray modes.<br>
36-bit Color and 12-bit Gray never result in a correct image (is that<br>
because Gimp does not interpret those color schemes correctly?), and<br>
LineArt is always correct. <br>
By the way, 36-bit Color and 12-bit Gray modes seem to be handled<br>
differently by scanimage and xscanimage: xscanimage does not complain, but<br>
scanimage gives the following messages, apparently not understanding those<br>
modes: <br>
<p>
scanimage -vvvvvv -l 40 -t 40 -x 80 -y 80 --mode 36 bit Color -d<br>
microtek2:/dev/sg4 &gt; image.pnm<br>
<p>
scanimage: scanning image of size 226x226 pixels at 48 bits/pixel<br>
scanimage: acquiring RGB frame<br>
scanimage: scanimage.c:813: scan_it: Assertion `parm.depth == 8' failed.<br>
Abort<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; scanimage -vvvvvv -l 40 -t 40 -x 80 -y 80 --mode 12 bit Grey -d</i><br>
microtek2:/dev/sg4 &gt; image.pnm<br>
<p>
scanimage: scanning image of size 226x226 pixels at 16 bits/pixel<br>
scanimage: acquiring gray frame<br>
scanimage: scanimage.c:815: scan_it: Assertion `parm.depth == 1 ||<br>
parm.depth == 8' failed.<br>
<p>
<p>
Finally, here is a mini-patch to have the scanner attributes<br>
display correctly the X6EL model name:<br>
