Did you have any results that may help me? Do you know if the calibration happens
in the driver or the software (CaptureOnTouch)? I see that there is some
calibration code in the backend already, but I don't really understand it
(calibrate_AFE and calibrate_fine). Do you have any tips for understanding the
current `canon_dr.c` file? I tried finding the implementation of the USB protocol
the scanners use in there, but I failed.
