This 35mm SCSI film scanner is working fine under Linux-2.0.30/SANE-1.0
xscanimage but has a problem under scanimage, the command-line version.
I'm using the coolscan-0.3 backend by Didier Carlier.

At 2700 dpi resolution, the scan is completed but the scanner then hangs
- I have to cycle the scanners's power in order to continue using it.
I'd use xscanimage but it's so darn slooooooow with these 3500x2500x24
images (particularly processing the images with gimp - pnm tools are
much faster if you don't need interactivity).

At 1350 dpi and less, scanimage works just fine.

Does anyone have a fix for scanimage/coolscan? Alternatively, a hack
that would reset the scanner by software instead of cycling power? It
can't be doing the thing any good to cycle power after every scan!

Another problem - but easy to work around - is that the coolscan backend
flips the image left-right (yes, the negative is in the right way,
emulsion side down!). Easy to fix with pnmflip but does anyone have a
patch?


Cheers


Bob
