[Gerhard Jaeger]

Hi,

I remember a few weeks ago one request upon this scanner, but after
some mail the contact get lost...
I'm pretty sure, that you won't get any answer from Visioneer :-(

Of course, no problem, when I find some time. One thing you can also check
are the entries in the Windoze registry (check for scanner and or Visioneer)
or in the scanners' installation directory for some .ini files which at least
for the LM983x based devices contain register setting information.
