Hello, I bought an epsop perfection 1650 recently, installed sane 1.0.7 and had great results with scanimage in a few minutes after unpacking. Great!!!
However attempting to scan a negative slide produced results that look unimpressive! http://f33158.upc-f.chello.nl/foto3.jpg is an example. Also before scanning begins I get a 'receive error [3] status code = 9' (only with the negative scans) and a next scans from negatives gives screens full of status code 5 messages. The command I used was like tihs: scanimage -d epson --resolution=1600 --mode=color --source="transparency unit" --film-type="negative film" |cjpeg >foto3.jpg I've tried to play with the focus-point setting, but that doesn't seem to matter. So my question is: are reasonable negative scans possible with this scanner, and if so, what am I doing wrong? thanks for any help. Henk,
