[sane-devel] Sane and microtek2 hangs on large scans

Many thanks for your message, Karsten!

   Success! I did both of those steps and it worked. I'm sure that
sometime in the past I tried setting the no-backtrack-option to 'yes' in
Microtek2.conf, but I never realised that I also had to select it in
Xsane. (Unfortunately, for me the bottom part of Xscanimage where the
special options are shown is off the screen, but this may be a problem
with Icewm. Xsane displays properly, though, so I use that.)

   Anyway - thanks to your help, I can now scan at 150 and 300 DPI in
colour, so I feel as though I've made great progress!

   I'm very grateful to you and also to Abel, who pointed me in the
right direction!

   Regards,

      Gerald.
