Hi all,<br>
we are going to buy an Epson gt-2500, but I have some questions about
it and sane, I hope someone of you can help me (and I hope I'm not OT)<br>
<br>
1- on internet I see the gt-2500 is able to get the preview in 9 sec..
it's a very long time! Is it the "lamp warming time"? Can I keep it
warm in some way? Is it strange a "27ppm" scanner takes more than 9
seconds in order to get the first scanned page? This is a common
problem: I can't understand the effective scanning time for the first
page, that is the most common case for simple office documents.<br>
<br>
2- Can I handle the scanner button? With sane, or polling some
"/proc/scanner/button/blabla" driver file, or other.<br>
<br>
3- I'd like to use the sane command line. Is sane able to automatically
use the ADF if there are some pages in it? Or have I to choose ADF or
A4-plane with a command line arguments?<br>
<br>
4- For these "high speed" scanners is USB 2.0 necessary in order to get
the maximum performance? Or USB 1.1 is
