I have a very old scanner Mustek 12000SP Plus with dmx3191 scsi-adapter.
It's initialized in the system (Ubuntu x64), but I can't scan images because
scanner freeze in different positions after pushing button "Preview" or "Scan"
in xsane.
I tried to change different values in /etc/sane.d/mustek.conf but had no
results.
The best result was with parametres
#--------------------------- Global options ---------------------------------
# option strip-height 10 # some SCSI adapters need this; scanning may
# be faster without this option
option force-wait # wait for scanner to be ready (only necessary
# when scanner freezes)
option disable-double-buffering # try this if you have SCSI trouble
#-------------------------- SCSI scanners -----------------------------------
scsi MUSTEK * Scanner
# option linedistance-fix # stripes may go away in color mode
option buffersize 32 # set non standard buffer size (in kb)
# option blocksize 2048 # set non standard block size (in kb)
option lineart-fix # lineart may be faster with this option off.
# option disable-backtracking # faster, but may produce stripes
scsi SCANNER
# option linedistance-fix # stripes may go away in color mode
option buffersize 32 # set non standard buffer size (in kb)
# option blocksize 2048 # set non standard block size (in kb)
# option lineart-fix # lineart may be faster with this option off.
# option disable-backtracking # faster, but may produce stripes
/dev/scanner
# option linedistance-fix # stripes may go away in color mode
option buffersize 32 # set non standard buffer size (in kb)
# option blocksize 2048 # set non standard block size (in kb)
# option lineart-fix # lineart may be faster with this option off.
# option disable-backtracking # faster, but may produce stripes
when I did "scanimage -d mustek:/dev/scanner > t.pnm"
scanning stopped at the end and in t.pnm I could see almost full image. Then
scanner freezed up again and computer hung (It's always hang after i try to
scan by xsane).
At the same time it's all OK in different Winows systems.
Maybe you know the way how to make it work?
