I own a Mustek 1200SP (MFS12000SP), firmware 1.02, attached to a Tekram
DC390. Linux 2.0.30 with AM53/79C974 PCscsi driver rev. 0.5.
With sane-0.62 & 0.64 all modes (color too) work beautifully, having
--disabled--ld-fix !! That does the trick concerning color and 1.02, it
seems. Without disabling, color scanning is absolutely broken.
What has been a great help concerning speed was the setting of BIG_BUFF
to 1MB, as Roger suggested. How to do that should be put at least into
the README.
A question to those who have the backround and could do this: Would it
be possible to have some sort of dynamic allocation of BIG_BUFF-space at
runtime? This would make much sense for scanning: depending on the size
of a scan the program would request the needed amount?
I have no idea, if the kernel supports things like that, or if it would
be too hard to do that?
A suggestion for xscanimage: An additional fast switch for some custom
resolutions would be much appreciated (say 150, 300, 600, ...).
As I'm not the expert in scanning: a scanner having 600 dpi physically:
would the scanning at 599 dpi give reasonable results (averaging color
values)?
regards, Nils
