The OfficeJet 1175 and R series refuse to + unload an ADF-loaded document after scanning, and instead display a + message on the front panel prompting the user to remove the document + from the glass and press a button to continue; the OfficeJet G series + doesn't have this problem, however. The OfficeJet G and K series automatically + unload an ADF-loaded document when the scan channel is closed, particularly + after an idle timeout when connected to an HP JetDirect. + .TP + .B OfficeJet K series + The K series features a "scrollfed" scanner, where the paper is fed + across a stationary scanhead, as opposed to flatbed, where the scanhead + moves across the page. A consequence of this difference is that the + document length is not known in advance; the scan stops when the end + of the document is reached. To perform a scan, you must first click + on "Change document", and then start your preview or regular scan. + If necessary, click on "Cancel" when the scan stops. If there are more + documents to scan, click on "Change document" again to advance to the + next page and repeat the procedure; otherwise, click on "Unload" to + completely unload the page. An alternative for non-preview scans is + to set the page length (option "br-y") to slightly less than the known + page length, for example, 10.5 inches for an 8.5"x11" page. This will + eliminate the need to cancel the scan, but you still need to click on + "Change document" before each scan and "Unload" after the last page. + Note that due to the use of the "Change document" and "Unload" options, + you will probably not be able to use the command-line "scanimage" program + with the K series, not even the "-T" or "--test" parameters. .SH TODO .TP *************** *** 209,217 **** --- 327,345 ---- currently only the HP ScanJet 5100C/5200C are supported.

Support for the LaserJet + 3100/3150 is NOT planned, because programming information for these models + is not expected to ever become available. However, if you have a LaserJet + 3150 connected to a JetDirect 70X/170X/300X/500X with firmware x.08.xx or + later, you can scan using the JetDirect's embedded web server. .SH "SEE ALSO" sane\-scsi(5) .SH AUTHOR The sane-hp backend was written by Geoffrey T.
