[sane-devel] Epson Perfection 1250

[Karl F. Larsen]

Sorry Gerhard, I'm using Red Hat version 8 which has Xsane version 0.84 
installed. The usb subsystem may or may not be working. I see it come up 
while booting up but I don't know how to tell if it is working.

Here is my stab at the plustek.conf file but I have no idea what I'm 
doing....

# Plustek-SANE Backend configuration file
# For use with Plustek parallel-port scanners and
# LM9831/2/3 based USB scanners
#
# For parport devices use the parport section
#
#[parport]
# device /dev/pt_drv

#
# leave the default values as specified in /etc/modules.conf
#
option warmup    -1
option lOffOnEnd -1
option lampOff   -1


#
# The USB section:
# each device needs at least two lines:
# - [usb] vendor-ID and product-ID
# - device devicename
# i.e. for Plustek (0x07B3) UT12/16/24 (0x0017)
[usb] 0x04b8 0x01f
device libusb:001:002
#
# additionally you can specify some options
# warmup, lOffOnEnd, lampOff
#
# For autodetection use
# [usb]
# device /dev/usb/scanner0
#
# NOTE: autodetection is safe, as it uses the info it got
#       from the USB subsystem. If you're not using the
#       autodetection, you MUST have attached that device
#       at your USB-port, that you have specified...
#

[usb]

#
# options for the previous USB entry
#
# switch lamp off after xxx secs, 0 disables the feature
option lampOff 0

# warmup period in seconds, 0 means no warmup
option warmup 30

# 0 means leave lamp-status untouched, not 0 means switch off
# on sane_close
option lOffOnEnd 0

#
# options to tweak the image start-position
# (WARNING: there's no internal range check!!!)
#
# for the normal scan area
#
option posOffX 0
option posOffY 0

# for transparencies
option tpaOffX 0
option tpaOffY 0

# for negatives
option negOffX 0
option negOffY 0

#
# for adjusting the default gamma values
#
option redGamma         1.0
option greenGamma       1.0
option blueGamma        1.0
option grayGamma        1.0

#
# and of course the device-name

#
# to define a new device, start with a new section:
# [usb] or [parport]
#

	I would like a referance to this file. It is pretty odd.
