What happens if you run "scanimage" from the command line, and use one of: --format=pnm --format=tiff --format=png
Does the image still have artifacts? ** Summary changed: - All scans via sane deteriotad by compression artefacts for Brother MFC-L2710DW + Scanned images are deteriorated by compression artifacts with Brother MFC-L2710DW -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1940754 Title: Scanned images are deteriorated by compression artifacts with Brother MFC-L2710DW Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a Brother MFC-L2710DW printer with integrated flatbed scanner. There are two major problems when scanning with sane: The first problem is that the quality of all scanned images is very poor due to 8x8 pixel JPG compression artefacts. The root coarse seems to be the backend, as the result is the same independently if the image is acquired through xsane or scanimage. The second problem is that sane only scans up to 300 dpi. 1200 dpi is not offered at all and for 600 dpi the error message "Failed to start scanner: Invalid argument" is displayed. Interestingly the message is displayed after the scanner has completed the scan, but the data seems not to be received or understood by sane. The scanner works fine in Ubuntu with the commercial software vuescan, which rules out a firmware bug or malfunctioning of the scanner itself.
