| Summary | 0000496: SANE 1.0.22: "unrecognized option `--lamp-off'" | ||||
| Description | On 08Dec, 2004, Henning Meier-Geinitz took on a feature request of mine, to allow my scanner to have its lamp turned off and scan head parked when requested. He added the feature in the mustek backend, v1.38: 2005-05-05: * Released Mustek backend 1.0-138 * Added options to set the time after which the lamp of the A3 Pro is shut off and to shut it off immediately. I somehow acquired these files, which incorporated the feature: scanimage .exe 53,295 .a.. 5-09-05 libsane .dll 109,724 .a.. 5-09-05 [d:\SANE]scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.15; backend version 1.0.15 scanimage --lamp-off --dont-scan [result: scanner turns off lamp and parks] ================================= However, this does not work for the newer scanimage.exe: [D:\tame]scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.22; backend version 1.0.22 D:\tame]scanimage --lamp-off --dont-scan scanimage: unrecognized option `--lamp-off' | ||||

Looking at the code, the feature seems to only be enabled for one specific model of scanner: 1200 A3 PRO What is your scanner detected as? |

"1200 A3 PRO" is the model of my scanner First, the old (working) version: [D:\tame\old]scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.15; backend version 1.0.15 [D:\tame\old]scanimage -L device `mustek:b0t6l0' is a Mustek 1200 A3 PRO flatbed scanner device `test:0' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device device `test:1' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device The current version: [D:\tame]scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.22; backend version 1.0.22 [D:\tame]scanimage -L device `pixma:MX860_192.168.0.104' is a CANON Canon PIXMA MX860 multi-function p eripheral device `mustek:b0t6l0' is a Mustek 1200 A3 PRO flatbed scanner device `test:0' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device device `test:1' is a Noname frontend-tester virtual device |

I found the problem. Back in the day, we had only one scanner that scanimage could find: the Mustek. Unless specified, scanimage sends commands to the backend of the first scanner it finds. I moved in with someone who has another scanner on the network: the Canon Pixma MX860 listed above. The Pixma comes up first in the list of scanners found. scanimage sends the "--lamp-off --dont-scan" command to the first scanner it found, and the Pixma backend replies, "I don't know what you're talking about". Solution: specify which scanner on the commandline: [D:\sane]scanimage -d mustek --lamp-off --dont-scan [turns off lamp & parks] It was operator error all along. This can be closed. Thanks. |
