[sane-devel] Is there a buffer setting for xsane?

[Thomas H. George]

Xsane color scans from my Epson Perfection 2400 scanner with a usb 
connection fail after one or two scans.  The scanner suddenly stalls in 
mid-scan.  The backend maintainer advised:

"
It's very unlikely that a change in the backend caused that problem. The 
scanner would probably not even start if something got broken. The EPSON 
ESC/I protocol (which is used by your scanner) does not allow to control 
the scan head in such a way, it either scans the complete selected area, 
or it does not scan at all.

One way to find out if something in the software changed is to go back 
to an older version of the Sane system.
You could also try to get a log file by setting the SANE_DEBUG_EPSON 
environment variable to 255.

There is however one other possibility: If the USB system stalls, the 
scanner can not get rid of it's data, and it can therefore not collect 
any more data, and it may look like the scanner stalls. Does this happen 
regardless of the scan resolution?
"

The problem does seem to be that the usb system stalls, perhaps because 
a buffer is full?  scanimage has an option -B to change a buffer size.  
Is there a buffer setting for xsane?  If so, how is it set?
