[sane-devel] Backend for plustek Opticbook 3600

[Chris Berry]

Ok Stef I have a bit more time to concentrate on this at the minute. I 
have updated the white_shading.pnm and included it at 
http://sites.google.com/site/bez625/updates-1/update080310 there is also 
a copy of the latest scan there too. I only have 20 shading lines in the 
shading area because there is a lot of blue in that area. Should I widen 
it (more shading lines) or should those blue areas be included?

Also how do I disable the averaging? Is it a software thing or is it on 
one of the registers? I'm also not too sure what you mean about the 
offset, is it the DAC offset?

Thanks

Chris
