Hi!
I have an Epson 1640SU office scanner and I am trying to make the document
feeder work. I saw in the archives this may be quite difficult... I am
running 2.6.5 kernel and the scanner is USB pluged. Here are the version
of sane I am using:
dpkg -l | grep sane
ii libsane 1.0.13-4 API library for scanners
ii sane 1.0.11-3 Scanner graphical frontends
ii sane-utils 1.0.13-4 API library for scanners -- utilities
ii xsane 0.92-2 A gtk-based X11 frontend for SANE
/etc/sane.d/epson.conf contains only 'usb', the scanner is well
recognized:
scanimage -L
device `epson:libusb:001:003' is a Epson Perfection1640 flatbed scanner
All works fine in flatbed mode so I tried to use my automatic document
feeder. And this is the problem: I don't have any ADF option in source
parameter of scanimage:
scanimage -h
...
Optional equipment:
--source Flatbed|Transparency Unit [Flatbed]
Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder).
...
I don't have any Transparency unit...
So, is it possible to make the ADF work with epson 1640SU with 2.6 kernel
and USB? Any help would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks.
Alex
