- ScanMaker
- =========
-
- ScanMaker is a driver for the Microtek range of scanners.
-
- It has been only been tested with the ScanMaker 600ZS, but should work
- with any of the ScanMaker family.
-
- It is work in progress, so any bugs, problems or other insanities, let
- me know by e-mail to alastair@farli.otago.ac.nz and I will try to fix
- them.
-
- How to use it.
- Connected the scanner to the SCSI port of your computer, taking the
- usual steps to ensure correct termination, and non-conflict of SCSI
- ids.
-
- Notes - NeXT hardware, the machine may not boot with the scanner
- connected. Boot the machine with the scanner switched off, then when
- you see the login window, turn it on.
-
- Intel hardware. Make sure that the SCSI interface you have is set for
- asynchronous transfers (especially the DPT 2012B), this may be done on
- a target by target basis or for the whole system. If you don't the
- interface tries to negotiate a sync transfer, the scanner resets the
- bus, and thats it. Thanks to Mike Perka at NeXT for finding this
- problem.
-
- To Scan
- Select the scan mode you want: Line Art, Grey Scale, Colour with
- either a grey or colour prescan.
-
- Press the Prescan button.
-
- Select the area you want to scan in the prescan window by dragging out
- a rectangel, resize to your hearts content using the knobs.
-
- Select resolution, contrast, brightness, gamma and histogram settings.
- Preview them if you wish. (Note that brightness and contrast are not
- currently previewable cos I haven't worked out what heinous thing the
- scanner does for these!)
-
- Then press the Scan button.
- If you are doing a high-resolution colour scan, go get a cup of
- coffee!
