<p>Update to my mailing below (I deleted it before it was
approved to the list)....<br>

<div>It definitely has to do with what's going on during
the sane_read API function.<br>

If I issue scanimage -T, it will start clicking

<div>There are a couple of things that I can think of:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1 - The scan head is hitting the end of travel and is
slipping the belt or gear, or</div>
<div>2- Whatever motor settings being specified are out of
spec for the motor.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can you confirm is this happens when the scan head is at
the end of travel?</div>
<div>If not, then I suspect that the motor is having some
problems with the settings used by the backend to drive the
motor.</div>

<p>Thank you so much for your reply. </p>
<p>I am unsure of how to do that. I do not see any moving part from
the outside. I assume I need to open and watch, which is fine. I
will open it and watch.<br></p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you do have the option to try Windows, then I would give that a go, at least to verify the correct function of the device.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Actually, since this is a genesys device, it may be that the motor settings have changed as the genesys backend of SANE was rewritten in C++.</div><div>One or two machines have had problems with motor tables from this new version exhibiting just this problem: the motor just buzzes without moving.
