[sane-devel] Question about infrared on my LS-4000

[m. allan noah]

infrared is not supported in the sane protocol. It is possible that
there is some support in the backend, which could be enabled by
rebuilding sane-backends from source. However, there is little or no
support in any of the front-end tools like scanimage to deal with the
extra data.
