<p>Excellent. I should have realized that I would be able to
disable the genesys backend initially and given that a try.
Obviously I should have realized that even after reviewing the <a

<p>I commented out the genesys backend.<br>

<p> $ scanadf -L<br>
device `brother4:net1;dev0' is a Brother MFC-J485DW MFC-J485DW<br>
device `airscan:e0:Brother MFC-J485DW' is a eSCL Brother
MFC-J485DW ip=192.168.1.28<br>
</p>
<p> $ scanadf -V<br>
scanadf (sane-frontends) 1.0.14<br>

1. Would this issue have caused the adf to completely fail to be
functional through SANE? <br>
</p>
<p>I would like to start a new thread concerning the adf on my
Brother MFC-J485DW (Xsane is only displaying a preview for 1 of
the 3 pages I am trying to scan with the adf feature).</p>
<p>Thank you for the excellent help. I would like to let you know
for some time I was using an Outlook email account and I could
never receive messages from the sane-devel list and I did not
know why since the Outlook email client confirmed the emails had
been sent.<br>

Hi,<br>
What you could do in this case as an alternative, is just edit
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf and comment out the genesys backend as that
is where the issue seems to be coming from (if you do not have a
genesys device of course).<br>
In that case, you need not use sane-git at all.<br>

<p>Thank you for your response. Before I do install the
sane-git ppa I would like to inform you that I do currently
have the sane-release ppa installed. I have enclosed a
screenshot of update manager displaying this information as
well as the underlying packages from sane-release that are
currently installed. -> Software Sources ->
sane-project/sane-release -> open ->
libsane1,libsane,libsane-common,sane-utils are all 'ticked'.
I have verified they are installed .........</p>
<p>1. If I enable the sane-git ppa I could possibly have
conflicts between it and sane-release ppa. I have
experienced this before actually and received some great
help with the issue.</p>

Yes, definitely don't have both sane-releases and sane-ppa
enabled at the same time.<br>
<br>
I would think you could probably enable sane-git and disable
sane-releases, update and upgrade and it should be fine.<br>
If there are issues, then just remove all the SANE packages from
sane-releases and then reinstall them back again.<br>
<br>
There is always risk in tracking sane-git as it is not
guaranteed to be stable.<br>

<p>2. Can I ask what the safest way to proceed by doing this
would be? Possibly I can simply untick
sane-project/sane-release in software sources and add the
following through the terminal by following the steps
below?:</p>
<h2>Adding this PPA to your system<br>
</h2>
<p>You can update your system with unsupported packages from
this untrusted PPA by adding <strong class="ppa-reference">ppa:sane-project/sane-git</strong>
to your system's Software Sources. (<a

about installing</a>) </p>
<pre class="command subordinate">sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sane-project/sane-git
sudo apt-get update</pre>
</blockquote>
Yes, I would disable the sane-releases PPA in Software Sources,
update (which I think it will ask you to do anyway), then add
the sane-git PPA, update (again I think you get this for free),
then upgrade and you should get the new sane-git binaries.<br>
<br>
But note the previous alternative suggestion if that would work
for you.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
