The output image is not expanded to twice the height, but an additional block of white image is appended to the bottom of the scanned image which is the same height as the scanned image, thus giving an image twice as high.
I should also note that the machine that I have cannot do a preview. The scan head just buzzes rather than moving down the platen. That is probably a motor control issue with the resolution used for preview scanning. I have created an issue on GitLab for this issue, but I would strongly suggest you create a GitLab account so that you can comment on and track that issue. https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/402 Cheers, Ralph
