Hello Winni,
You should read the linux README included with the SANE source, to
show you how to compile.
Then you can avoid making such a mistake as trying to write into your
system directories.

Re: [sane-devel] Canonscan N 650U LIDE Scanner does not scan but makes terrible noise AGAIN !

2014-07-22 Thread Winni

Hi,

thanks for the answer.

Last year Andrea Vai helped me out. Now, I checked to repeat the 
procedure of recompiling as Andrea told me and before him Gerhard told 
Andrea.


One question to the developers? Last year with the end of october, 
Andrea Vai and I attributed out tiny effort with the Canonscan N 650 to 
bring out the the new sane-backends-1.0.24 or sane-backends-1.0.25. If I 
still do have sane-backends-1.0.23 with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS then I guess 
something went wrong?


For me virtualbox solved my problem. WindowsXP32 guest and Linux host. 
But to make virtualbox work is not just made by installing it...


Regards,
Winni

[sane-devel] Canonscan N 650U LIDE Scanner does not scan but makes terrible noise

2013-11-07 Thread windose
Hi,

I wrote the message below two months ago. Even after recompiling the 
latest sane-backends 1.0.24 I have to do the tweak with the symlinks 
described below.

Furthermore scanimage -L only find the scandevice when root, which is 
not the most sensible solution.

Is there somebody who can help out or at least tell me where I might 
find a solution to this problem.

BUT (!) with KanotixDFx86_64 Distro I can only start the GUI Frontend as 
root with [ALT f2] kdesu XSane

then I get a dialogue-box which tells me in German ( I translate)

#Warning
#You try to execute XSane as ROOT. This is really DANGEROUS!
#Don't send any error messages if you get problems when executing XSane 
#as root. You are alone !

Then I can choose between 'continue on your own risk' or 'cancel'

Thus, I am alone I go on on my own risk and there you see.

My Canonscan 650U scans as it should. I tried different resolutions.
NO TERRIBLE SOUND !!! YES !!!

I guess it has something to do with rights that I have to use Xsane and 
scanimage -L as root, because using the normal user the device will not 
be recognized. So if someone here has an idea it is highly appreciated.

Until now thank you very much to Andrea Vai showing me how to recompile 
and tweak.

Regards,
Winni




Is there anybody who can help me?

Thanx,

Now, with a new version of Linux Mint 15 I downloaded, configured and

About the terrible noise... Gerhard (or others), do you need any more
testing from Winni and me? At the moment, a value of 0.76 for
dMaxMotorSpeed seems to be fine for both of us.

Winni, if you still have problems running sane as a non-privileged user,
try to read here:

and also

thanks for testing - the value itself is enough. Just to make sure
that nothing else has changed, please provide a diff of the file

Hi,

with the help of Andrea Vai I was able to modify the file
plustek-usbdevs.c @ line 2064 entering 0.76 for dMaxMotorSpeed.

After that Andrea Vai showed me via Email recompiling

Only recompiling did not work, so we had to rename and modify the

I'm a bit confused here (honestly I didn't follow the thread careful 
enough - sorry). You're talking about a LiDE30 - right?

This one is different to the N650U wrt settings of the motor...

 I
  tried to power the scanner from my bench supply with success but only 
 very slight changes to my scan results.  I did measure the voltage at 
 the scanner down a 1.8M cable I got off ebay which had 24awg conductors 
 and it hovered around 4.6V.  I was concerned more about power since I 
 noticed when connected into a cable powered hub it actually makes the 
 noise nearly all the time and other times read errors are produced.  
 Interestingly the specifications for the scanner want a 1.5M cable or 
 less from canons website which means probably a very short cable since 
 they seem to come in standard lengths.

This point seems also to be important. I was not aware that Andrea has
connected its scanner to an USB hub.
[...]

Anyway, FYI Andrea is currently testing some tweaked motor settings
for the N650, maybew this is the way for you to go as well. The only
thing you need to do is to recompile the plustek backend with 
changed settings. Check the file plustek-usbdevs.c, around line 2330
you should find the following:

/** Canon N1240U/LiDE30 */
static HWDef Hw0x04A9_0x220E =
{
0.72,   /* dMaxMotorSpeed */
0.30,   /* dMaxMoveSpeed  */

IIRC MaxMotorSpeed is used during scanning, so if the scanner gets
stuck during a scan, try and lower that value. MaxMoveSpeed should
have influence on the speed while moving the scan head.

HTH,
 Gerhard

0.86,   /* dMaxMotorSpeed */
0.243,  /* dMaxMoveSpeed  */

I would suggest to reduce the 0.86 to 0.80 or 0.76, compile and install
the 
backend and try again - you should also test various resolutions.

Another suggested setting was to use 0.85 and 0.240...


I tried with 0.76/0.243 and it seems to work (20+ scans at various
resolutions without noise).

But now what? Which are the best settings? Do we have to assume that the
best settings are any that seem to be working, or use some criteria and
choose them among the ones mentioned above?

Winni, can you confirm that this works for you too?
 
 FWIW, In windoze I can use SnoopyPro which logs USB messages to
 scanner with timestamps.  So it could be measured to some degree.
...for example, might I try to do such a measurement, or it's not worth
it?

Thank you very much,

Well, here instead I discovered that if I connect the scanner through a
powered USB hub, sane does not recognize it... I am going to do some
other attempts and write to the list about this specific issue
 
  Interestingly the specifications for the scanner want a 1.5M cable or

Mmh, that might play a role, indeed. I am using a 3m cable and will try
to find a shorter one.

 Hi, as said in a previous message, I experience the same problem with my
 N650U on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
 
 I have done some testing, to understand if the problem depends on the
 resolution, or on some other aspects.
 
 The answer is: I don't know, because the noise sometimes appear on the
 preview, sometimes on the scan, sometimes just appears connecting the
 scanner (if it was grinding the last time it was disconnected). Other
 times it does not grind, and scans smoothly at 50, 100, 300, 600 dpi.
 
 Someone here on the list was wondering about the USB cable (shielded,
 unshielded, I think) playing a role on this... I have only 1 cable at
 the moment, so I cannot test other ones. But, the question is, would it
 make sense that the same cable does not work with sane, but works
 perfectly in windoze?

Hi,
again, I tried 20 minutes to scan with the Canonscan N 650U. In 
comparison to the last time, all attempts resulted this time in this 
awful noise.
I booted WinXP 32-bit (twain drivers) and within 2 minutes two pages 
were scanned perfectly.

How can I help you guys with this? Is there anything I can contribute to 
make this scan device work for Linux OS without having skills of writing 
code?

Thanx und regards,

Hi,

I tried with different dpi resolutions. Most of the time  it starts with
the horrible noise but sometimes it works. I'd say every 5th try works.
Even calibrating under XSane results in that noise...

I searched for a plustek config file but could not find it.

By the way, there is a hint about awfull noise in the FAQ.gz at
/usr/share/doc/libsane/plustek/

 SYMPTOM: Scanner makes awful noise
 

 PROBLEM:
 
 This can have two major causes:
 - You have an ASIC96001/3 based scanner, then the sensor hits the
   scanbed: !!! TURN OFF SCANNER POWER !!!

 - You have an ASIC98001 based scanner, then the motor control does
   not work correctly -- hit the cancel button

 SOLUTION:

 For the first case (ASIC 96001/3), there's no solution available. This
 happens, when the driver can't keep track of the stepper motor. The image
 you get is normally unusable.
 The second case is often reported when the printer driver lp.o is
 already loaded. So remove lp.o before loading pt_drv.

[sane-devel] Canonscan N 650U LIDE Scanner does not scan but makes terrible noise

2013-08-26 Thread Andrea Vai
Hi, I am currently experiencing the same problem.
I would be glad to help in troubleshooting it.

Canoscan N650U on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x64)

Best regards,
Andrea

 Hi,
 again, I tried 20 minutes to scan with the Canonscan N 650U. In 
 comparison to the last time, all attempts resulted this time in this 
 awful noise.
 I booted WinXP 32-bit (twain drivers) and within 2 minutes two pages 
 were scanned perfectly.
 
 How can I help you guys with this? Is there anything I can contribute to 
 make this scan device work for Linux OS without having skills of writing 
 code?
 
 Thanx und regards,
 
 Winni

 Hi,
 
 I tried with different dpi resolutions. Most of the time  it starts with
 the horrible noise but sometimes it works. I'd say every 5th try works.
 Even calibrating under XSane results in that noise...
 
 I searched for a plustek config file but could not find it.
 
 By the way, there is a hint about awfull noise in the FAQ.gz at
 /usr/share/doc/libsane/plustek/
 
  SYMPTOM: Scanner makes awful noise
  
 
  PROBLEM:
  
  This can have two major causes:
  - You have an ASIC96001/3 based scanner, then the sensor hits the
scanbed: !!! TURN OFF SCANNER POWER !!!
 
  - You have an ASIC98001 based scanner, then the motor control does
not work correctly -- hit the cancel button
 
  SOLUTION:
  -
  For the first case (ASIC 96001/3), there's no solution available. This
  happens, when the driver can't keep track of the stepper motor. The image

[sane-devel] Canonscan N 650U LIDE Scanner does not scan but makes terrible noise

2013-08-24 Thread coxster dillon
Hi,

Further testing shows it still makes noises and missing steps due to motor 
lockup on my LIDE30, even when externally powered (hack).  I played with the 
resolution as this seems to change the motor step and certainly higher 
resolutions kind of recover but low ones, quick movements fail to start.  I am 
using turn off all calibration so not sure if this is part of the issue.  It 
does not do this with the twain drivers in Windoze on the same scanner.

Regards,

dc

Hi,

Just a comment from my playing with LIDE30.  Try different USB cables, assuming 
we are not talking about PP scanners?

I found out getting a short cable, like 1foot (molex brand) with conductor 
writing on plastic as 22awg/C2 gives better performance with no noise yet but 
I've still to play.  Just in case this is actually a power issue, not that I 
want to suggest there is nothing else wrong.  The cables I got off ebay at long 
lengths didn't work at all.  Unfortunately the LIDE30 does not have an external 
power option, perhaps others in their ranges do.

Regards,

dc

[sane-devel] Canonscan N 650U LIDE Scanner does not scan but makes terrible noise

2013-08-13 Thread Andrea Vai
Hi Winni,
I don't know if it can help you, but it seems the same problem described
here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/83957

I had this problem too, with a N650U on Ubuntu 10.04, and still don't
have a solution (by the way, my problem now is that the scanner is not
even recognized in Ubuntu 12.04: see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361278 )

Best regards,
Andrea

[sane-devel] Canonscan N 650U LIDE Scanner does not scan but makes terrible noise

2013-08-10 Thread i_...@mail-buero.de
Hi,

 my Canonscan N 650U LIDE Scanner does not scan but makes terrible noise, as if 
the scan unit is going in the wrong direction. The scanner works fine with Win 
XP 32-bit

 OS: Linux? Kanotix Dragonfire (Debian based) 64-bit
 scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.22; backend version 1.0.22
 Software: Xsane, Xscanimage

 It does not make a difference using XSane or XScanimage. First I have to 
choose the source device which is plustek:libusb:006:003

 Any help is appreciated.
 Regards, Winni

 Just a shot in the dark and an obvious question but if you have a lock
slider button on the base, I guess you checked that the scan mechanism has
been unlocked?  I have a Canon (different model but still a flatbed) and
once I forgot to unlock it and had similar symptoms to you until I unlocked
it
