Hello,
Thanks for setting me straight on the scsi id's and the device
file names, Doug. What's really wierd is that, if I make the
link /dev/scanner -> /dev/sgb (i.r., consistent with what
scanimage -L says), scanimage -L fails with:
[s9036] sense_handler() : sense code = f0
Segmentation fault
So, I just removed the link and at least scanimage seems
to work. The SANE programs seem to be getting information
from the scanner, so maybe the SCSI communication is working
OK.
I turned on debugging (export SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=255), and
have found that, while the final error message after trying
to do a scan is:
[epson] option: fatal error
there actually seems to be a failure before this. What appears
to happen is the following call sequence:
sane_read -> read_data_block -> receive
after which the message:
[epson] fatal error - Status = a2
gets reported. I am a little anxious to get this scanner working
and would be very grateful if someone would be kind enough to
step me through the debugging - or at least give it a try. The only
specs for the GT8700 I know of are located at the web page:
http://www.i-love-epson.co.jp/products/scanner/gt8700/87003.htm
This is in Japanese but probably not so hard to figure out (nothing
about the communication anyway, just the hardware specs - denisty, etc).
I can translate it for you if need be. One thing that worries me
is that the input/output is claimed to be 14-bit, different from
most of the other scanners.
Well, thanks in any case. Cheers,
