1. I am seeing in my prior post I wrote (Whereis prior sane-airscan did
not scan correctly with the MFC-J485DW). It was obviously a different
package affecting the scan output then sane-airscan package. I recall
that I could scan using sane-airscan but output was all grey or
something completely NON legible.
So this problem doesn't exist anymore, correct?
1. I suppose I should probably update the installed version of
sane-airscan to (0.99.15+74.1_amd64.deb) correct?
Yes, this is better to upgrade.
2. With sane-airscan version (0.99.9+67.1 amd64) currently installed.
The brother MFC-J485DW works with xsane 0.999 to scan using sane-airscan
eSCL option. I think it can be added to the compatible list maybe.
Thank a lot! I've updated the list.
3. I notice with sane-airscan version (0.99.9+67.1 amd64) that 600 dpi
is maximum. When I use the Brother device driver I can select 1200 dpi.
Both for platen and ADF?
According to specs, maximal optical resolution for ADF is 1200x600. SANE
API has a limitation, making asymmetrical resolutions hard to use, so
sane-airscan will not use 1200x600, and will fallback to 600x600, while
brother driver may decide to resample 1200x600->1200x1200
But for platen, specs claims optical resolutions up to 1200x2400
If you have some time, I can look. At this case, I will need a protocol
trace. Please, in the /etc/sane.d/airscan.conf uncomment the following
lines:
[debug]
trace = ~/airscan/trace
enable = true
And then rerun. I need ~/airscan/trace/*.log files (the directory will
be creaed automatically)
You can send me logs directly by e-mail (don't post to the list, please)
