[sane-devel] Scanning with 16 bits color depth (2 bytes/color)

We are doing first tests in 16 bits mode with TPU on PIXMA MP970, but
the images obtained are messed up. I'm wondering if this comes from the
image format. 
Which backend are you using for 16 bits scans ? 
Maybe you know also which image format it uses ?
