<EM>&gt; I am experanceing a problem with a MicroTek ScanMaker 600ZX where it

<EM>&gt; will lock up with an I/O error after the first scan in colour mode.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; This is a 3-pass colour scanner which Xsane identifies correctly. I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; have also tried a ScanMakerII with the same results.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I am not a programmer so I am in the dark with creating a fix for this,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; but it seems there is a communication problem... could the commands be
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; sent too soon for the second pass?? and the scanner is not reciving them
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; before the end of the first scan?
</EM><BR>
<P>I've heard it depends on the firmware that the scanner has. Versions
<BR>
before 1.60 are buggy, and can cause these problems. It might be
<BR>
interesting if you would tell which firmware it has.
<BR>
<P>By the way, which microtek backend is used for your scanner, microtek(1)
<BR>
or microtek2? You might read the manpage for those backends, man
<BR>
sane-microtek and man sane-microtek2. Ah, the microtek(1) manpage lists
<BR>
them.
<BR>
Well, now i read the manpage, it says that the 600GS is grayscale-only,
<BR>
but the 600ZS is not. Strange though, it seems yours is grayscale-only too.
<BR>
<P>Manpage:
<BR>
&nbsp;Brightness and contrast broken.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 600GS is grayscale only, and will lock up if
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you select color. (Unfortunately, the 600GS and
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;600ZS are indistinguishable by software.)
<BR>
<P>You might like to set debug on, and see if it gives more, you can do:
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;export SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK=128
<BR>
And see what it gives after that.
<BR>
I wonder if the debug output is usefull, because the programmer of this
<BR>
backend seems to have gone about half a year ago. Till now, no other
<BR>
programmer has picked up the job.
<BR>
<P>Which version of Sane do you use?
<BR>
I had a Microtek Pagewiz, which i could use under sane 1.0.1 with the
<BR>
microtek(1) backend version 0.10. It didn't function perfect for me, i
<BR>
got a lot of io-errors like yours, but it worked.
<BR>
Sane 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 with the 0.12 backend didn't work for that scanner
<BR>
here.
<BR>
Your Scanmaker II is a different scanner than my Pagewiz, but you might try
<BR>
different versions of sane, and see what that Scanmaker II does.
