.SH "LIMITATIONS"
Scanners of the same model exist with different sensors, due to lack of data
(ie USB logs) some sensors are better supported than others. At least 75 dpi
mode is working for any model. Sharing the scanner between several frontends
at the same time (allowsharing option) may not work on some USB controllers.
