Re: [sane-devel] PIXMA: New Protocol Timeouts

2016-03-05 Thread Rolf Bensch
Hi Louis,

In the meantime I had time to work a little on the imageclass sub-backend.

Please have a look at these commits:
c41640f
bbd327f

For the 1st possibly failing USB command I chose a reduced timeout
duration of 2 sec.

This code also affects the BJNP communications. But I haven't seen any
problems testing a MF6140 device.

Cheers,
Rolf

Hello Louis,

However, some Pixma scanners usually timeout the 1st USB command. I
already fixed this in pixma_imageclass.c by simply resending the 1st
command (query_status()).

To reduce the timeout loop from 8 sec to 1 sec for this 1st particular
command, I'd like to load tmo in pixma_cmd_transaction() (->
pixma_common.c) from a parameter.

I see 2 options:
(1) a new parameter in the function call of pixma_cmd_transaction()
(2) a new parameter with the default setting for 8 sec, e.g. in s->io

Which one is smarter?

Many thanks for your idea in advance.

Cheers,

Hello List,

My recent commits to Sane's git repository contain some fixes which

This affects *ALL* Canon PIXMA, imageCLASS, i-SENSYS and *SOME*

scanning devices (please search your scanner here:
http://sanexe-project.org/lists/sane-backends-cvs.html#S-PIXMA).

Background:

Many users have reported and my experience was the same while

a new scanner, that the 8 sec receive timeout needed approx. 160 sec

lapse. This blocked the interface and was very annoying.

I found out that the protocol timeouts were set to eternal 20 sec. So 
I

reduced the timeouts down to 1 sec (human immediately), for both
PIXMA_BULKIN_TIMEOUT and PIXMA_BULKOUT_TIMEOUT. Now the 8 sec receive
timeout loop is working again, also with available 
sanei_usb_set_timeout().


Please report any problems caused by this fixes.

[sane-devel] PIXMA: New Protocol Timeouts

2016-02-17 Thread Rolf Bensch
Hello List,

My recent commits to Sane's git repository contain some fixes which
affect USB and BJNP protocol timeouts.

This affects *ALL* Canon PIXMA, imageCLASS, i-SENSYS and *SOME* CanoScan
scanning devices (please search your scanner here:
http://sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-cvs.html#S-PIXMA).

Background:

Many users have reported and my experience was the same while debugging
a new scanner, that the 8 sec receive timeout needed approx. 160 sec to
lapse. This blocked the interface and was very annoying.

I found out that the protocol timeouts were set to eternal 20 sec. So I
reduced the timeouts down to 1 sec (human immediately), for both
PIXMA_BULKIN_TIMEOUT and PIXMA_BULKOUT_TIMEOUT. Now the 8 sec receive
timeout loop is working again, also with available sanei_usb_set_timeout().

Please report any problems caused by this fixes.

Cheers,
Rolf
