Max, I have read the document about setting the capabilities. I have also tried the twexplore.exe to see the capabilities of my scanner. The twexplore.exe will give you the option to save the file or "retrieve it natively." On the window where it gives you this option, it also allows you to set attributes like bit size, or compression. No matter how many times I change these options, it still gives an image with the same filesize. The reason, I mentioned that was because those attributes that you can change correlate to the ICAP values. If changing those attributes in twexplore.exe does not do anything, then I am thinking that it probably won't do anything when I write a script either. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
