[sane-devel] FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 - default page format?

[Peter Marschall]

Hi,

IIRC setting the page width  in the epjitsu backend was broken
in 2015

I reported this in 2015 in #315231
( https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?
func=detail&atid=410366&aid=315231&group_id=30186 )
with a patch set that also contained further cleanups

Unfortunetely there was no action until now.

I will update the patchset mentioned in the bug with one that is rebased 
against current git head today.

Best
PETer
