[sane-devel] Hardware Donation Canon Lide 600F

[Pim van Tend]

 Hi Georg,

I just completed the backend for the canon_lide70, which is very, very closely related to the 600f.

You know that from the site of Juergen Ernst, and I wrote about that in my sane-canon_lide70 man page:
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/blob/master/doc/sane-canon_lide70.man

So I may be the person you are looking for. 
But I am afraid that I can start working on this only after the summer.
I live in the Netherlands.

What do you think?

Best wishes,
pimvantend

 Hello,

I have a spare Canon Lide 600F scanner that I'm willing to donate to
a SANE developer who wants to work on SANE support for this hardware.

Simple things first:

- I'm paying shipment costs; I thus prefer shipments to Germany/Europe
  in favor of more expensive options
- It's a hardware donation - no strings attached - which goes both ways,
  i.e. I don't pay for your working hours
- You don't have to send it back
- If you are interested please include some 'proof' for being a SANE
  developer in your mail

Although the scanner is pretty old, it should be in pretty good
condition, i.e. not much used. I can't notice any scratches.

The scanner was last attached to a Windows XP machine in 2013 or so,
where it worked.

It's relatively compact, it can also be stored vertically.

It comes with a film adapter unit.

You need a standard USB mini connector cable and the device is also
powered through USB.

The case also reads K10291.

Currently, SANE doesn't support this scanner:

There is some preliminary reverse engineered information available (last
update 2017):

Vendor information:

Best regards
Georg
