Dear listmembers,
maybe I am on the wrong list because my problem might be application -
specific, however.
I have set up a HP 7400C scanner, supported by the avision backend, it is
detected and working. So far, so good.
Now, if I scan a black and white printed text with xsane and adjust all
parameters to default, 300dpi, Gray, contrast and brightness set to 0,
(=100%), the resutls are nice quality scans, black is black, background is
white.
In contrast, attempting to do the very same with scanimage, calling:
scanimage --mode Gray --contrast 0 --brightness 0 --resolution 300 > outfile
the resulting picture in "outfile" (same printed text as above) is very
bright, grey rather than black. Modifying brightness is making the result
worse, modifying contrast as well. I cannot achieve the same result as with
xsane - what makes me wonder as I had had expected to work the same way ....
Any ideas / hints for me? I could provide resulting scans for explanation,
however, I think I cannot upload anything.
Regards, many thanks for your efforts
