[sane-devel] WS-Scan (WSD scan)

[Alexander Pevzner]

Hi,

I'm currently working on adding WSD support to sane-airscan. Somebody 
tried to implement WS-Scan before?

In general, everything works, more or less, but I observe few strange 
things:

1) device reports its size in landscape orientation, though returned 
images has a portrait orientation. Is it normal behavior, or 
device-specific bug? In another words, should I simply and 
unconditionally swap X and Y dimensions, or more complicated logic is 
required here?

2) Unlike eSCL, WSD scan, even when requested from a computer, needs to 
be explicitly started by pressing buttons on a device front panel. 
Otherwise, device rejects scan request. Windows Scan behaves a similar 
way. And this is especially inconvenient. Is it a normal behavior, or I 
missing something?

3) Though protocol defines a method to specify scan region, device 
completely ignores these parameters and always returns a full page. Is 
it normal?
