Re: Agfa Arcus II

Have you tried SANE just to see what happens?
It might work with the Microtek backend.... I vaguely remember hearing
that some Agfa scanners were made by Microtek, and the documentation I
have lists "5C = Arcus II" as one of the model types.

You will need to apply the following patch to the backend so that it
recognizes the new scanner type. I assume the Arcus II is a 600dpi
(optical) scanner; if not, the patch needs to be modified a little
[i.e. "base_resolution"]. The patch also adds "StudioScan" and
"StudioScan II" --- are these Agfa also?

Please tell me what happens --- and please send me a debug log of a scan
("setenv SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK 128"), whether it works or not.

good luck,
matt m.
