Hello,
the UMAX 1220P/2000P has fixed dpi values because of its step motor. It
can
only do 75, 150, 300, 600 and 1200 dpi. So when you give any other value, the
backend
round it up to the next fixed value. Fo instance, if you set to 100 dpi, it
uses 150
and flag it with SANE_INFO_INEXACT for the frontend. So if you don't use this
returned value, and read enough bytes for 100 dpi, you'll have the scanner
stuck in
an unfinished scan at 150 dpi.
Regards,
Stef
