Hi y'all,
Just got a Fujitsu fi-5120Cdj to play with and the contrast with my
little Canon has provided a great education as I compare the features
exposed by the SANE back ends. The Fujitsu is a sheetfeed-only scanner
and the Canon is a flatbed-only. I have learned how to scan multi-page
documents by looping over my "Scan" routine while the status is
SANE_STATUS_EOF -- however, this won't work for the flatbed because it
returns that same status when it's done. Unless there's something I'm
missing, it looks like the only way I can differentiate between the two
actions is to have some way to tell whether I'm using an ADF or not.
The "type" member of the SANE_Device structure for the Canon is "flatbed
scanner" and the Fujitsu merely says "scanner" so that's no help. The
only other thing is to test whether the substring "ADF" appears in the
currently selected "source" option but this seems kind of bogus. Any
suggestions?
Regards,
Mark
