Hi, base for the Plustek UT24 support was the original NT-driver which I had received from Plustek. But after porting it to Linux, it became clear, that there's currently a problem in the transparency support. This bug is currently not fixed, but scanning is possible. There's a quality problem so far
The UMAX could be also supported by the Plustek backend, as it uses also the LM983x chipset but currently there are not parameters available. I suggest to use the UT24 Gerhard On Freitag, 5.
