An example for both cases are the different model names what the user can read on the scanner and what the scanner reports via USB: If the model name which the scanner reports via USB is different but unique, there can be two entries like: :model "Fun Scanner 1000" ; what is on the scanner :usbid "0x1234" "0x4321" :model "FS 1000" ; what the scanner reports via USB :usbid "0x1234" "0x4321" If the model name which the scanner reports via USB is only a generic name, the following should be posible: :model "Fun Scanner 1000" ; what is on the scanner :usbid "0x1234" "0x4321" :model "Fun Scanner 1100" ; what is on the scanner :usbid "0x1234" "0x4322" :model "FS 1000 series" ; what the scanners report via USB :usbid "0x1234" "0x4321" :usbid "0x1234" "0x4322" Another example for the second case are the different model names in different countries - e.g. the Epson model names in Japan and in the rest of the world.
