<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I suspect, there is a small bug in iscan_2.30.4-2_amd64.deb.</p>
<p>The problem of the bug is mentioned here: <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://sourceforge.net/p/gscan2pdf/bugs/389/#04ec/a0ea">https://sourceforge.net/p/gscan2pdf/bugs/389/#04ec/a0ea</a></p>

<p data-sourcepos="12:1-12:183" dir="auto">In my experience, <code>scanimage
--help</code> dynamically adapts its output upon the given
options before <code>--help</code>, i.e., the stated default
values of options differ upon them. Please compare:</p>

<p data-sourcepos="53:1-53:268" dir="auto">The latter still lists <code>--scan-area</code>
and <code>--quick-format</code> as <code>A4</code>, instead <code>Maximum</code>.
In the opinion of the developer of gscan2pdf this is a bug. I too
think, he is right, as if frontends rely on this help defaults,
the user gets presented the wrong values in the GUI.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="53:1-53:268" dir="auto">Thanks to review this
problem,</p>
