[sane-devel] A problem with Epson GT-2500

[Wolfram Heider]

Hello Alex,

it's not a problem it's simply a hardware limit since the GT-2500 is an A4  
scanner with 215,9mm maximum scan width (height may go up to  356mm with  
the ADF) - have a look on the data-sheet.
If you will go beyond these limits you will have to employ another type of  
scanner (A3).

Regards
Wolfram Heider
