Hi, As already mentioned earlier, I've just started working on a backend for scanners based on the Genesys Logic GL646 chip. There is no code yet and it will take some time to write it. The homepage of the backend is:
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/genesys-backend/ I'm using a UMAX Astra 4500 scanner so that one is the one that will be supported at first (hopefully). These scanners are reported to have the same chip: Avision iVina FB1600 Genius ColorPage HR7X Lexmark X83 Medion/Tevion MD6228 + MD5345 Plustek OpticPro S12 Plustek OpticPro S24 As a first step, sane-find-scanner is now able to detect the GL646 chip. If you have one of these scanners, please run the latest sane-find-scanner tool as described on the genesys backend homepage. And/or open the scanner and check the names printed on the chips inside. This may void your warranty. If you have a scanner that is not mentioned here and you think it also uses the GL646 chip, please do the same and contact me. Bye, Henning
