(This value corresponds to 'letter' format?) the hard-coded default in the backend is for a letter pageheight, but if you set the height to something else, the t and y value max should change too. try this scan, all on one line: SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=30 scanimage --pagewidth=148 --pageheight=210 -t 0 -l 0 -x 148 -y 210 --resolution=150 --source='ADF Front' 2>eox.log > out.pnm then compress eox.log, and send that to me directly. if we are sending proper data to the scanner but it still does not work, you might have to get a log of the windows driver in action, so we can see if the machine uses some other technique. if the windows driver makes no attempt to prune the scan area, then we will have to simulate in software. yay. allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
