Hello all,
Upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and installed gscan2pdf 0.9.32 from
the repository. I was using this in 10.04 and it just worked great.
However, now I only have one scan mode (color). No line art or grat scale
selection option. I scan a lot in line and gray scale. My scanner is a
Xerox Documate252. I even tried version 1 and still only have the one
scan mode. I have since upgraded via PPA to the latest version 1.0.4 of
gscan2pdf.
It appears that the sane-backend is only reporting my scanner as "Color"
mode. scanimage --help attached
Any suggestions please?
Thank you,
Dean
scanimage --help
Usage: scanimage [OPTION]...
Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write image data to
standard output.
Parameters are separated by a blank from single-character options (e.g.
-d epson) and by a "=" from multi-character options (e.g.
--device-name=epson).
-d, --device-name=DEVICE use a given scanner device (e.g. hp:/dev/scanner)
--format=pnm|tiff file format of output file
-i, --icc-profile=PROFILE include this ICC profile into TIFF file
-L, --list-devices show available scanner devices
-f, --formatted-device-list=FORMAT similar to -L, but the FORMAT of the
output
can be specified: %d (device name), %v (vendor),
%m (model), %t (type), %i (index number), and
%n (newline)
-b, --batch[=FORMAT] working in batch mode, FORMAT is `out%d.pnm' or
`out%d.tif' by default depending on --format
--batch-start=# page number to start naming files with
--batch-count=# how many pages to scan in batch mode
--batch-increment=# increase page number in filename by #
--batch-double increment page number by two, same as
--batch-increment=2
--batch-prompt ask for pressing a key before scanning a page
--accept-md5-only only accept authorization requests using md5
-p, --progress print progress messages
-n, --dont-scan only set options, don't actually scan
-T, --test test backend thoroughly
-A, --all-options list all available backend options
-h, --help display this help message and exit
-v, --verbose give even more status messages
-B, --buffer-size=# change input buffer size (in kB, default 32)
-V, --version print version information
Options specific to device `avision:libusb:001:005':
Scan mode:
--mode Color [Color]
Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart, monochrome, or color).
--resolution 50..600dpi (in steps of 1) [150]
Sets the resolution of the scanned image.
--speed 0..4 (in steps of 1) [inactive]
Determines the speed at which the scan proceeds.
--preview[=(yes|no)] [no]
Request a preview-quality scan.
--source ADF Front|ADF Back|ADF Duplex [ADF Front]
Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder).
Geometry:
-l 0..216mm [0]
Top-left x position of scan area.
-t 0..362mm [0]
Top-left y position of scan area.
-x 0..216mm [216]
Width of scan-area.
-y 0..362mm [362]
Height of scan-area.
--overscan-top 0..4mm [inactive]
The top overscan controls the additional area to scan before the
paper
is detected.
--overscan-bottom 0..4mm [inactive]
The bottom overscan controls the additional area to scan after the
paper end is detected.
--background-lines 0..50pel [inactive]
The background raster controls the additional background lines to
scan
before the paper is feed through the scanner.
Enhancement:
--brightness -100..100% (in steps of 1) [0]
Controls the brightness of the acquired image.
--contrast -100..100% (in steps of 1) [0]
Controls the contrast of the acquired image.
--quality-scan[=(yes|no)] [yes]
Turn on quality scanning (slower but better).
--quality-cal[=(yes|no)] [yes]
Do a quality white-calibration
--gamma-table 0..255,... [inactive]
Gamma-correction table. In color mode this option equally affects
the
red, green, and blue channels simultaneously (i.e., it is an
intensity
gamma table).
--red-gamma-table 0..255,...
Gamma-correction table for the red band.
--green-gamma-table 0..255,...
Gamma-correction table for the green band.
--blue-gamma-table 0..255,...
Gamma-correction table for the blue band.
--exposure 0..1000% (in steps of 1) [inactive]
Manual exposure adjustment.
--infra-red[=(yes|no)] [inactive]
Enable infra-red scan mode.
--multi-sample[=(yes|no)] [inactive]
Enable multi-sample scan mode.
Scan mode:
--frame 0..0 [inactive]
Selects the number of the frame to scan
--power-save-time <int> [15]
Allows control of the scanner's power save timer, dimming or turning
off the light.
--paper-length[=(yes|no)] [no]
Newer scanners can utilize this paper length to detect double
feeds.
However some others (DM152) can get confused during media flush if
it
is set.
--flip-page[=(auto|yes|no)] [inactive]
Tells page-flipping document scanners to flip the paper back to its
original orientation before dropping it in the output tray. Turning
this off might make scanning a little faster if you don't care about
manually flipping the pages afterwards.
Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE.
