[sane-devel] Hello, I am Fedora user using SANE for my DocketPort 685

According to our support page:

http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=syscan&model=685&bus=any&v=&p=

the backend does not fully support duplex:

"front- and backside side-by-side, with backside mirrored horizontally."

Have you tried making your requested image wider?
