I have replugged my scanner into my desktop system. I can scan media, but I always get empty or all-black images, for example:

----

$ scanimage -vvv -d genesys:libusb:001:005 --format jpeg > /tmp/test.jpeg scanimage: scanning image 649 pixels wide and variable height at 8 bits/pixel
scanimage: acquiring gray frame
scanimage: min/max graylevel value = 255/0
Maximum supported image dimension is 65500 pixels

$ ls -l /tmp/test.jpeg
-rw-r--r-- 1 alison alison 0 Aug  4 11:57 /tmp/test.jpeg

$ scanimage -vvv -d genesys:libusb:001:005 --calibrate
scanimage: setting of option --calibrate failed (Operation not supported)
Closing device
Calling sane_exit
scanimage: finished


---

I notice that when I run xsane, there is white illumination, but the resulting image is all black. When I run scanimage, the illumination is red, and the file is empty.

Both 'man sane-genesys' and http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html say that the Xerox Travel Scanner 100 is well-supported. I bought this device only because I read those documents first, and it cost me $200. I suggest removing it from the list of supported devices, at least temporarily.

Thanks for your help,
Alison Chaiken

Hello Alison,

I think it is an problem with your USB HUP.

This is form your logs:


[  155.985709] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
[  171.600752] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110

The error code 110 indicates that the interface can not supply enough
power.

Can you check the scanner on an other port and/or on an active external
Hub?

If the error still exists please remove all power plugs from the main
board for 10-15 minutes and then test it again.


CU
Jörg
