[sane-devel] Success with Neat Scanner - White

[Peter Jorgensen]

I use the following settings and Bash script to scan receipts or documents using an older Neat Mobil Scanner, the one that came with Neat Receipts for Mac. I’m interested in eliminating the following messages which appear as each item is scanned.:
 
[gt68xx] WARNING: You have manually added the ids of your scanner 
[gt68xx]          to gt68xx.conf. Please use an appropriate override 
[gt68xx]          for your scanner. Use extreme care and switch off 
[gt68xx]          the scanner immediately if you hear unusual noise. 
[gt68xx]          Please report any success to 
[gt68xx]          sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org. Please provide as many
[gt68xx]          details as possible, e.g. the exact name of your
[gt68xx]          scanner, ids, settings etc.

The Bash script I wrote:

Peters-Mini:bin peter$ cat scan
#!/bin/bash
#scan
#set -x

The gt68xx config file (/usr/local/etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf):


# gt68xx.conf: Configuration file for GT68XX based scanners (1.0.24)
# Read man sane-gt68xx for documentation

# Put the firmware file into "/usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/".

# Manual configuration is necessary for some scanners. Please uncomment the
