[sane-devel] Problem with setting Fujitsu fi-4120c to Grayscale

[Peter Chen]

Hi,

I entered SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=128 as a shell command (am I doing it right?)
and then I ran scanimage --duplex=both -d fujitsu:/dev/usb/scanner0 > a.pnm
and it showed me the same error messages, nothing special, besides br-x,
br-y, it only showed:
scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument.

In my previous email, I said my sane_start() hanged, later on I found it's
because I called fopen() before I called sane_start(), now I put fopen()
after sane_start() and it works, I am not sure how to deal with it when I
add the ADF feature.

I did not try scsi. Did usb's duplex mode ever work before? If yes, what
special configuration should be done?

Under RedHat 7.1, there are some 'minor errors' but no errors under RedHat
7.2, just that sane-find-scanner showed the scanner was of unknowed type. So
I guess it does not matter.

Thanks,

Peter
