However they are only software adjustments. This backend only +implements what the scanner can support. For instance, shading correction +(vertical stripes due to sensor variation across its width) is done in +software. Head park position is also detected by software. +The data compression isn't supported for the X1200 series on USB 1.1, +leading to slow scans. + +.SH "BUGS" +.br +No bugs currently known. + + + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +sane\-scsi(5), scanimage(1), xscanimage(1), xsane(1), sane(7) + + +.SH "AUTHOR" +.TP +The backend was originally written by Fred Odendaal. +.I http://ca.geocities.com/freshshelf@rogers.com/ +.TP +The new version is currently developed by St\['e]phane Voltz. +.I http://stef.dev.free.fr/sane/lexmark +.TP +X74 support was written by Torsten Houwaart (<ToHo@gmx.de>) +.SH "CREDITS" +.TP +Many thanks go to: +Julien Furgerot who lend me a Dell A920. +Robert Price, Dani Ele and Dalai Felinto for the time they spent recording +USB activity and testing the experimental version. |
