My conclusion of this thread is: It could be used in a reasonable manner. So let's keep it and define the behaviour once and for all: The SANE standard reads: | 3.2.1 Image Transmission [...] | Conceptually, each frame is transmitted a byte at a time. Each byte | may contain 8 sample values (for an image bit depth of 1), one full | sample value (for an image bit depth of 8), or a partial sample value | (for an image bit depth of 16 or bigger). In the latter case, the | bytes of each sample value are transmitted in the machine's native | byte order. I propose to add: "For depth 1, the order of the bits within each byte is most significant bit to least significant bit." Comments (also on spelling/grammar as I'm not a native English speaker :-) are appreciated. Bye, Henning
