I could scan with 2400dpi.

Re: [sane-devel] FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 - default page format?

[Simon Matter]

Hi,

How about setting the default based on LANG or LC_PAPER environment vars?
Or provide an option to do so? The same is done for printing systems,
isn't it?

Regards,
Simon

[sane-devel] Support for Canon MG7700

[Bert Kleinman]

  
  
I am running Mint 18.1 64-bit on an Asus UX305UA laptop. I have a
Canon MG7720 on my network and have installed the Canon printer
drivers from cnijfilter2 (v 5.20) and scangearmp2 (v 3.2). 

I have no problems printing from any program or scanning with the
the Canon scangear software. But neither Simple Scan nor gscan2pdf
see the scanner. I would like to use these programs since they have
more capabilities than scangear.

I installed same 1.0.26 from
https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git, but that
didn't help.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bert

It does, but in my case the scanner is connected to an LDAP-enabled
workstation and used with many different accounts,
requiring every employee to change that setting first time they log in.

Re: [sane-devel] FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 - default page format?

Frankly, your front-end program should save your preferences for
things like page size, so you only set them once. I was pretty sure
that xsane did so. For a front-end that does not, we could change
sane-backends defaults on a per-backend basis, I suppose. I the
backends I wrote (which includes fujitsu) it should be easy. For
example, edit backend/fujitsu.c and search for 8.5 and 11 (the width
and height of US Letter). Change those as required and recompile. A
better long term solution would be to make the default sizes
configurable from the backend's config file. I will think about the
best way to do that.

I would be interested too, if the front end (Xsane, driving an HP 5590) 
could be persuaded to default to A4. My wife finds it too complex as it is.

You're probably right. xsane and gscan2pdf default to letter, only
simple-scan defaults to automatic.

I would still be interested in changing the default from letter to A4.

The fujitsu backend does not have an automatic size option. The page
and image sizes default to US Letter, which is wider than A4. Perhaps
you are seeing some feature of your frontend program. Which frontend
are you using?

[sane-devel] FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 - default page format?

[Philipp Huebner]

Hi,

I have a FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 that works quite well for the most part.

One problem though: the default page format is "automatic", which fails
to detect the righgt format rather often and cuts off parts of the pages.

When I set it to the correct size manually (e.g. A4), it works fine.

Can anybody tell me how to change the default page format from automatic
to A4?
I wouldn't mind re-compiling a custom sane-backends for that.

Best wishes,

Updating descriptions/pixma.desc, I noticed that most of the MG* Series
have a comment about the (maximum) resolution(s) that work okay.  If you
have any info on that I'll add that before I push the changes.

Hope this helps,
