	Hello,

	good job, if I understand well, 50, 100, 150, 300 and 600 dpi modes are 
correct. That's great.
	The 1 & 2 issues are surely related. Some registers maybe incorrectly 
set. What you can do is to compare all the register set at scan time with the 
one from USB log at 1200 dpi. If you look at the code there some places in 
genesys_gl646.c where some actions are taken depending of the CCD. Maybe a 
case for the HP2400 CCD should be added.
	For point 3, dummy pixel value is written in register 0x31. You can 
ignore CCD_start_xoffset and tune left start of scan area with the geomertry 
values of Genesys_Model hp2400c_model in genesys_devices.c

Regards,
	Stef
