SM3840/4800 Scanner Driver - SANE driver for the Microtek ScanMaker 3840 & 4800 scanners. |
|
This SANE driver supports both 8
and 16 bit color and grayscale scans at 150, 300, 600, and 1200 dpi.
It's completely reverse-engineered since no documentation is available on
the SCAN08 chip used. It may work with other ScanMaker 3800 or 4800 series
scanners, but their USB IDs will need to be patched into the source
code (sane_get_devices).
Source files are provided below. You first need to install
sane-backends-1.0.15 and
then install the following patch and tar.gz file over them:
patch -p1 < sm3840_patch2
tar zvxf sm3840_source5.tar.gz
Once the source files are installed execute
./configure && make clean && make && make install
If you have another SCAN08 based scanner and would like to try adding support,
or have any questions or successes with this driver feel free to
drop me a line at earle@ziplabel.com
Thanks to the developers of
USB Snoopy for a wonderful
USB logging tool, and all the SANE developers .
Here are some PERL scripts I used to convert captured scans into C code:
postprocess.zip, feel free to use them as you see fit.
