Gentlemen, My apologies if this is in a FAQ somewhere, but if it is I couldn't find it! I have a couple of different scanners, all suffer windows limitation on page sizes. Being in the petroleum industry I often have a need for scanning documents which may be 8.5 or 14 inches wide but could be up to 50 feet long. Does SANE allow continuous scanning to a PDF file for products with document feeders (such as the Epson perfection 4180 photo or the Ricoh IS-330)?? Hacking the registry in windoze didn't help - can't say that surprises me! I just don't see why if I'm reading data from USB and writing it to a file why the length of the page should be constrained short of the file size limit for your filesystem! Many thanks, Brad Sercombe (brought to you by the "before I spend hours installing Debian and getting SANE running" department /. ) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

many scanners have internal limits on the length of a scan. even the high-dollar fujitsus usually have a 35 inch limit. this is not a driver problem, but a scanner firmware problem. you may be able to find some particular scanner that does not have this limitation. contact the manufacturers? allan On Fri, 6 Oct 2006, Brad J.
