[sane-devel] Canon DR-3010C scanner

[Milko Simeonov]

Hi Stef,

At least as per its manual, this device (the flatbed unit) cannot operate on its own. You need to have a scanner (for example a DR-3010C) and this flatbed unit is an addition to the scanner. I've tried in Windows - if you connect only the flatbed unit, you cannot scan. You need to have both devices connected. Of course, this could simply be a restriction set on purpose in the Windows driver.

I can give you full remote access to a Windows PC and to a Linux PC with both scanning devices connected, and I can ensure there will be a person you can talk to at all times. Would this be OK?

Cheers,
Milko

     Hello,

     this scanner is a GL846 based scanner. This ASIC isn't supported 
yet in the genesys backend. The usual process is to record USB activity 
of the windows driver and use it along register description to make 
working code. This code can be kick started by cloning gl847 code part.
     If you send me this scanner, then I could add support it.


Regards,
     Stef
