[sane-devel] SANE and DocuMate 262i

Thu Jan 22 15:02:24 UTC 2009

Hi,

I just bought a Xerox DocuMate 262i. If we check this link the 262 is
already supported
(http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=xerox&model=DocuMate&bus=any&v=&p=.).
I guest the to 262i is not far it's just faster :)

First try:

When i run lsusb i have this:
# lsusb
...
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04a7:04a7 Visioneer
...

On /etc/sane.d/avision.conf I add this line:

#scsi /dev/scanner
# usb libusb:002:003
# usb 0x03f0 0x0701
usb 0x04a7 0x04a7

And if i run scanimage i have this output:

# scanimage -L
[avision] attach: "XEROX" - "DM262i" not yet in whitelist!
[avision] attach: You might want to report this output.
[avision] attach: To: rene at exactcode.de (the Avision backend author)
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

And if i run sane-find-scanner i have this output:
# sane-find-scanner
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a7 [XEROX], product=0x04a7 [DM262i]) at
libusb:002:004
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.

Second try:

I change the code sane-backends-1.0.19/backend/avision.c like this:
{ "XEROX", "DocuMate262",
      0x04a7, 0x044c,
      "Xerox", "DocuMate262",
      AV_INT_BUTTON},

    { "XEROX", "DM262i",
      0x04a7, 0x04a7,
      "Xerox", "DocuMate262i",
      AV_INT_BUTTON},
    /* status="good" */

Now it's better with scanadf I can see:
# scanadf -L
device `avision:libusb:002:003' is a Xerox DocuMate262i sheetfed scanner

And if I run:
# scanadf --source "ADF Duplex"

It's work VERY FAST!!!! But... after 2 or 3 tests I lost the device
and it generate this message:
$ scanadf --source "ADF Duplex" --output-file "test/Page-%04d.pnm" -s 2
scanadf: stopping scanner...
scanadf: stopping scanner...
scanadf: sane_start: Error during device I/O
Error during device I/O
Scanned 0 pages

The worse it's even i reset the scanner that doesn't change anything.
I have to power off the scanner, power off my computer, power on my
computer and power on my computer. Crazy!

My configuration:

I'm using Gentoo distribution:

Any help will be appreciate
