CHANGES for the SANE Mustek backend 2000-11-05 * Added support for TAIV for SE 12000 SP. Lamp is turned off while scanning (seems to work for firmware >= 2.00) * Adjusted transparency adapter support for all ScanExpress scanners. The 12000 A3 SP can only do A4 beacuse I don't have the right TA. * don't use u_int* types in mustek.h because the definitions for these types are not included 2000-11-04 * SE scanners can now scan 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 900 and 1200 dpi in color mode (the 1200 dpi models). These are fixed resolutions, a resolution >= the wanted resolution is selected. This makes preview and some resolutions faster than before (at least for some scanners), because lower resolutions can be used. * Minimum scan resolution is 60 dpi in gray and lineart and 75 dpi in color mode for the SE scanners now. 2000-10-29 * Fixed a bug concerning block LD. Paragon 1 and 2 were exchanged. * Paragon 12000SP color mode works now without garbage at the end * Fixed Paragon 1200 SP Pro color mode > 600 dpi (rounding problem) * Temporarily disabled 48 bit color mode for release 2000-10-25 * Detect support for TA IV (transparency adapter for ScanExpress scanners) * TA IV supported now; lamp is turned off at least for SE 1200 SP Plus scanners * Adjusted scan area for TA: SE 12000SP Plus * Simplify enlarge x * Set tl-y to 0 for all ScanExpress scanners * First attempt to support 48 bits color mode (SE 12000 SP Plus) 2000-10-22 * Detect SE 12000 SP Plus properly * Cover sensor only checked for SE models that support this feature 2000-10-21 * Removed MAX_BLOCKSIZE macro (not used anymore). 2000-10-03 * Released backend version 1.0-98. 2000-10-03 * Fixed segmentation fault in sane_init (else statement was missing). Thanks to Oliver Rauch who spotted this problem. * Re-enabled double buffering. 2000-10-02 * Zero out inquiry memory block before reading inquiry. 2000-10-01 * Fixed fix_line_distance_block. * Adjusted Paragon 12000 SP to use block LD correction if necessary. * removed LD MFS (wasn't used anyway) 2000-09-30 * Set blockbuffer size to 2 MB for Paragon series II scanners. * Fix sane_cancel for Paragon series II scanners * Fix speed and grain for Paragon series II scanners * Backtracking is used for all scanners (removed option) * included stop_scan into do_stop * better integration of the wait_ready functions * check that size of buffer <= size of block buffer 2000-09-24 * Added more debug output in sane_get_option_descriptor. * Added more debug output in sane_control_option. * Added check for devicename and handle != 0 in sane_open * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_get_option_descriptor * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_get_parameters * Added check for handle and val != 0 in sane_control_option * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_start * Added check for handle, buf and len != 0 in sane_read * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_cancel * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_set_io_mode * Added check for handle != 0 in sane_get_select_fd * Output option title in sane_get_option_descriptor if name is null 2000-09-24 * Released backend version 1.0-97. 2000-09-24 * Added RGB brightness and contrast for 3pass scanners * Brightness and contrast is +-100% for 3pass scanners now 2000-09-23 * Paragon 12000CX uses pixel unit now. * Paragon 6000CX uses pixel unit now (MSF-06000CZ). * Option "force backtracking" is enabled by default now * Option "scan speed" is set to "fastest" by default now * Add option "force-wait" (for mustek.conf). If enabled, wait for scan head to return to start position after scan. * Make DBG output in sane_control_option() more readable * Better error handling and debug output in sane_get_option_descriptor() * Changed Halftone handling, removed grain size 2000-09-22 * Paragon 12000SP 1.06 uses LD_NORMAL now. 2000-09-19 * Return sane_status_cancelled in sane_read if last scan was cancelled. 2000-09-18 * Changed speed_code to use values between 1...5 for 3pass scanners. I don't know yet if these are correct for the other scanners, too. * Don't do a stop scan for 3pass scanners (only when cancelling). * Set bit 0 of first byte of area_and_windows for gray + color. * Paragon 6000CX uses pixel unit now (MFS-06000CX). * Pixel unit for 3pass scanners is now supported 2000-09-17 * changed maximum y range of MFS-800 II SP to 288 mm because of a report of scanner touching the end. 2000-09-10 * added some testing (result != null and arg !=0) in sense_handler (found by Martin Blasczyk) 2000-08-20 * Paragon series II is also using blockmode now. * Removed warning from mustek.c. * Fixed (maybe) problem in scsi_sense_wait_ready and added more debug output. 2000-08-18 * added new option blocksize to mustek.conf * 800 II SP works now in new block mode (get_image_status is needed before each block) 2000-08-17 * Removed some warnings from sanei_ab306.c. 2000-08-16 * Fixed some bugs in fix_linedistance_block. Paragon 600 models seem to work now. 800 II SP freezes, however. * Fixed segmentation fault for the 600 II N in ld correction code. 2000-08-15 * Changed handling of three pass scanners (MUSTEK_FLAG_THREE_PASS instead of !MUSTEK_FLAG_SINGLE_PASS). * Added flags for Paragon series I and II (MUSTEK_PLAG_PARAGON_1 and MUSTEK_PLAG_PARAGON_2). * Distinguish between three-pass, Paragon series 1, Paragon series 2, ScanExpress, Pro and N type scanners. * Added support for scanning the whole image in one block without backtracking for the Paragon series II scanners. * Added fix_linedistance_block: like linedistance_normal but broken up into several SCSI buffers. 2000-08-14 * Changed again linedistance correction for the Paragon 12000 SP 1.11. This seems to be a never ending story. * Set the minimum dpi value to 30. Some scanners (e.g. the MFS 8000SP v 2.04) block the SCSI bus with lower resolutions. 2000-08-12 * Added support for Paragon 1200 SP Pro. * Added support for ScanExpress A3 SP. * Removed detection for " C12" and " C04" (don't seem to exist). * Changed SCSI read request scheme. Now two requests with half of the maximum SCSI buffer size are entered. Standard buffer size is 128 kB, so the buffer sent to the scanner is 64 kB for all types of scanners. * sane_read now reads more than 4096 bytes from pipe (if available). 2000-08-12 * SANE 1.0.3 released (including Mustek backend 1.0.96). 2000-07-31 * Released backend version 1.0-96. 2000-07-30 * Fixed bug concerning inquiry of 3-pass scanners. ASCII values > 127 weren't interpreted correctly (char instead of unsigned char). 2000-07-30 * Released backend version 1.0-95 2000-07-30 * Removed while {wait ()} loop. Used waitpid() instead. Maybe this cures some reported freezes. It's cleaner anyway. * Removed dead code. 2000-07-28 * Released backend version 1.0-94 2000-07-29 * Use #include "sane/..." instead of #include . 2000-07-27 * Released backend version 1.0-93 2000-07-27 * removed warnings 2000-07-26 * fixed possible segfault pointer info was not checked for 0 (found by Petter Reinholdtsen) * Updated comment about Paragon 600 II N linedistance correction in man page 2000-07-25 * Fixed color scanning for Paragon 600 II N firmware < 2.00. 2000-07-25 * Released backend version 1.0-92 2000-07-24 * Fixed ADF handling (output was mirrored in x direction). Gray and lineart seems to work now. Color and halftone modes look somewhat crazy. * Removed comment about lack of testing of ADFs in manpage. They are tested to work now with most scanner at least basically. * removed braindead test for Pro series concerning gamma table length (discovered by Jan-Erik Karlsson). 2000-07-22 * Fixed margin positions of MFS 6000CX and removed warning. * Warning is printed with DBG level 0 again. 2000-07-18 * Released backend version 1.0-91 2000-07-18 * Removed again MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_NONE for MFS-08000SP. Maybe the automatical detection works now. 2000-07-15 * Released backend version 1.0-90 2000-07-15 * Added MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_NONE for MFS-08000SP and removed warning for this scanner. Added TA support. First report for this device from Roland Koebler. * Changed LD correction system. Some scanners (e.g. the 800 II SP) seem to need different LD correction depending on resolution. Now with LD_NORMAL max_value is checked and correction is only done if it is != 0. Hope this works for all scanners. * Moved the comment after the example port entry in mustek.conf to the next line. Now this line should work. * Updated manpage concerning PP scanners and 600 II N. 2000-06-30 * Released backend version 1.0-89 2000-06-30 * Fixed bug in do_stop. The scan slider didn't return after the scan in some situations. 2000-06-28 * Released backend version 1.0-88 2000-06-28 * Changed again linedistance handling for the Paragon 1200SP. This time version 1.07 seems to need a special treetment. Even with normal linedistance correction the image is corrupted at buffer boundaries in color mode. Maybe a firmware bug? Thanks to Michael Prechtl for all his tests. 2000-06-25 * added missing newline to mustek.conf 2000-06-25 * Released backend version 1.0-87 2000-06-25 * updated manpage concerning parport and USB scanners * added example for 600 II N to mustek.conf 2000-06-22 * fixed debug output bug in fix_linedistance_se (found by Jan-Erik Karlsson) 2000-06-21 * fixed dependancy of mustek.h on sane-backends.h 2000-06-19 * Fixed gamma correction in lineart mode for Paragon 1200 A3 2000-06-18 * Released backend version 1.0-86 2000-06-18 * added enlarging x resolution for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro * Paragon 1200 A3 PRO is fully functional now. Thanks to Heinrich Falk, who borrowed me this device. 2000-06-17 * added calibration for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro (only dummy, doesn't work yet) * adjusted options for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro * added lineart support for Paragon 1200 A4 Pro * removed support for color lineart and color halftone modes * added color support for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro * added scsi_wait_sense, this fixed 1200 A3 Pro hangs * fixed gamma correction for 1200 A3 Pro. At the moment only 8 bit and 24 bit per pixel are supported (12/36 are possible in hardware) 2000-06-16 * addded debugging output in sane_control_option * added gamma correction for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro (doesn't work correctly yet) 2000-06-15 * removed old config file reading system. 2000-06-14 * Preliminary support for the Mustek Paragon 1200 A3 Pro. Only grayscale mode works so far. Missing: Gamma correction and calibration. The scanner is locked after each scan. 2000-06-12 * Fixed bug in sane_control_option. option was not checked for negative values. Thanks to Jochen Eisinger. * Code cleanup and reorganization for inclusion of the Paragon 1200 A3 Pro. 2000-06-07 * Fixed bug in sane_close where the chain of handles got destroyed by closing the first device. This bug is in the backend since 3 1/2 years. Thanks to Jochen Eisinger for spotting this. 2000-06-05 * Fixed some debug messages in fix_linedistance_se 2000-06-04 * released backend version 1.0-85 2000-06-04 * changed (again) Paragon 12000 SP linedistance handling, now 1.02 uses normal LD corrections, all other use none. We'll see, if this works. Thanks to Reinhard Günzel who helped to debug this. * fixed some long lines (>80 chars) 2000-06-03 * released backend version 1.0-84 2000-06-03 * changed line-distance handling, removed ld.max_value magic (didn't work) * fixed (maybe) Paragon 12000 SP color stripes problems (v 1.11 and others) * simpler linedistance debug output, only for 1-pass Paragon scanners 2000-06-02 * removed code in dev_read_start which was never called (suggestion from Jan-Erik Karlsson) 2000-05-21 * added double buffering (trying to copy the scsi buffer to the frontend while getting a new one). This probably won't work on all platforms and with all SCSI host adapters but in this case performance shouldn't be worse than before. 2000-05-21 * released backend version 1.0-83 2000-05-21 * The Mustek Paragon 1200 A3 PRO is now detected. This is only a test release. Be carefull and read the PROBLEMS file if you want to try this scanner. 2000-05-19 * released backend version 1.0-82 2000-05-18 * set debug level for output of unknown Mustek scanner to 0 (suggestion from Thorben Kundinger) 2000-05-12 * fixed bug in distinguishing firmware formats * added shrinked image fix to ScanExpress 12000SP models <= v2.0 2000-05-08 * fixed remaining sane_cancel problems (in non_blocking mode) * fixed color stripes and segmentation fault for Paragon MFS-12000SP 1.00 (at least for me) * added more debug output to inquiry * added possibility to distinguish old and new firmware formats * added one more debug level (5) * added output of SANE version 2000-05-07 * released backend version 1.0-81 2000-05-06 * added transparency adapter support for the Paragon 600 II CD, 600S, 800 II SP, 600 II N, ScannExpress 6000SP and 12000SP * removed "color lineart" and "color halftone" for all scanners. These modes didn't work for any of my scanners. * added more debug output for ADF and TA * fixed bug when ADF is out of documents * Scan source option is only available if TA or ADF is present. For SE and N models TA is always available because it can't be detected by hardware * removed "backtrack", "speed" and "grain" from 600 II N options, the scanner doesn't support them * updated mustek.desc and mustek.man 2000-05-02 * Reduced scan area for the Paragon MFC-600S because of ugly noises at the end of the scan area 2000-04-29 * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for ScanExpress 6000SP; added MUSTEK_FLAG_ENLARGE_X for this scanner * Added Warning for scanners that are not (fully) tested 2000-04-26 * changed sane_init to use sanei_config_read () and sanei_config_get_string () 2000-04-24 * released backend version 1.0-80 2000-04-23 * fixed lineart and color scanning >600 dpi for the SE 12000SP * added variable debug_level to be faster without debugging in attach () * fixed bug in mustek.conf handling; positional options were applied to the first device only * added an option to mustek.conf: "buffersize". This overwrites the default scan buffer sizes. The unit is kilobytes. * adjusted mustek.conf to more reasonable defaults * update manpage and mustek.desc to reflect the changes 2000-04-22 * fixed greyscale scanning >600 dpi for the SE 12000SP 2000-04-21 * added more debug output to sane_get_parameters 2000-04-20 * Output of scanning time now works with scanimage, too. * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon MFS-6000CX * Added transparency adapter support for the Paragon MFS-6000CX and MFS-12000SP 2000-04-19 * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon MFS-12000SP 2000-04-17 * added support for the sanei_scsi_open_extended method with variable buffersizes * removed support for SCSI queue. Couldn't find improvements for any scanner 2000-04-16 * removed "color lineart" and "color halftone" for single pass scanners. These modes didn't work for any of my scanners. * fixed problems in color mode for the MFS-8000SP (gamma table is now uploaded even if not selected) * Output "cover open" only for ScanExpress scanners (Paragon scanners don't have a cover sensor) * Added transparency adapter support for the Paragon MFS-6000SP and MFS-12000CX * Added output of transfer speed (kb/s) * maximum allocated memory for read request can be set by a #define * buffer size can be set on a per scanner basis * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon 800 II SP * Added quotation marks to inquiry output 2000-04-15 * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon 8000SP, ScanExpress 12000SP * Fixed scan area settings (TL-X and TL-Y) for transparency adapter (TA) * Added TA support for Paragon 8000SP 2000-04-13 * Added more debug output in sane_read and some other functions * removed warnings 2000-04-12 * Added more debug output concerning buffer handling 2000-04-10 * Adjusted scan area to the Windows driver defaults for Paragon 12000CX, 6000SP, 600 II CD, 600 II N 2000-04-09 * released backend version 1.0-79 2000-04-08 * added output of scanning time (debuglevel 2 and higher) * removed old code from sane_cancel 2000-04-07 * fixed line-distance correction for the 600 II N * rewrite of the 600 II N code * documentation update for the 600 II N 2000-04-06 * Rewrite of resolution encoding for 3-pass scanners * added more comments * some spelling errors corrected 2000-04-03 * output backend and version information * fixed resolution encoding for MFS12000cx * Changed version system to be compatible to the SANE standard (major, minor, build); 0.78 --> 1.0-78 2000-04-02 * released backend version 0.78 * added MUSTEK_FLAG_DOUBLE_RES for the MFS-12000CX 3-pass scanner, resolutions > 600 dpi should work now 2000-04-01 * reduced scan area for Paragon 800 S / II SP 2000-03-29 * released backend version 0.77 * inquiry is printed in full text at debug level 4 * more debug level tweaking * man page update * model name update 2000-03-25 * corrected some spelling errors 2000-03-24 * reduced scanarea for the MSF-6000SP * restructured scanner recognition 2000-03-18 * released backend version 0.76 2000-03-17 * removed some compiler warnings * changed the sane.model names (e.g. ScanExpress 12000SP instead of C06IDW...) * added SCSI information output to inquiry * adjusted debug levels and debug output 2000-03-15 * fixed typo in man page 2000-03-12 * released backend version 0.75 * man page update * mustek.desc update * test for option < 0 in sane_get_option_descriptor (thanks to Oliver Rauch) * added do_stop in sane_cancel (don't wait for next read that will possibly never happen) * fixed firmware version identification for newer ScanExpress models (patch from Marco G.
