Hi,

Others here will know better than me, but anyway.

So that's 6 bytes / line, which is coherent with the info below.

So you should get 5.0 MB of data.

Coherent with the data above.

So that's RRGGBB, assuming the byte ordering is OK.

And here I'm not sure what this is. Others here should know :)

I've probably told you what you already knew, but one simple test you
can do is scan sheets of red paper, blue paper and green paper and
look at the data you get. Should make it easy to spot the color
components, and determine if there's anything else besides color
components in the data you get from the scanner.

I'd do it this way :)
