<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I have been trying to get a device running for a few weeks now.
After failing to build a backend I decided to hack together my
own LibUSB driver for my unsupported A8 scanner, given my use
case is pretty simple I went in with a "how hard can it be?"
attitude.</p>
<p>Great success so far. Hasn't been easy but it hasn't been
really that bad. I have managed to ask my tiny A8 feed scanner
to scan a 300dpi colour image. I have been able to save the data
to a file (about 8mb worth) but that's where the fun ends.<br>
<br>
Can't seem to figure out how to get that raw data into a usable
format. 2 questions:</p>
<p>1. What format is that raw data likely to be? I naively
expected it to be png. <br>
2. Does SANE have some code that handles that sort of conversion
I could have a look at? Looked around the internet and the SANE
docs. Read some things about frames, but couldn't find much
else.</p>
<p>THANK YOU!</p>
<p>Daniel</p>
