[sane-devel] Out of Memory error when scanning at high DPI

[Mark Richards]

Hi,
I have an Epson Perfection Photo 4990 (GT-X800) scanner connected by USB to
my PC (Athlon 64 3200 1GB ram 5GB swap, FC5).

scanimage --version : scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.18; backend version
1.0.18

Scanimage -L : device `epson:libusb:002:009' is a Epson GT-X800 flatbed
scanner

I can scan fine at 1200dpi (16-bit colour) or 2400 (8-bit colour) but when I
try to scan at anything higher I get an Out of Memory error.  It is my
understanding that scanning at 4800dpi should be possible with this
scanner.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark
