plustek: Thread: Genius ColorPage Vivid3X and Plustek driver

I have the abovementioned scanner, and it "almost" works with the 
Plustek Driver (being recognised as Plustek PT12 flatbed scanner).

1. The motor controls are OK, and the lamp moves smoothly;

2. Preview or Scan at 50 dpi in Color Mode produces regular results 
(colors are correct). It is however noticeable some kind of "noise" in 
the color information (brisk changes of color in adjacent dots);

3. Scanning at higher resolutions (100, 150, 200, 300 and so on) leads 
to images that are very bright, with a pink hue. Another colors are very 
weak (blue) or not present at all (yellow, green).

4. Gray and B/W scans are much better, but not perfect;

5. Color36 mode results in images that are split in "frames" (like a 
chess board), with varying dominant hues in each frame, and coarse 
streaks along the whole image.



Although I'm not a programmer, I suspect the differences between PT12 
and Genius ColorPage Vivid3X can possibly be worked out, perhaps by 
changing some CCD parameters in the p12.c or p12ccd.c code.

If there is a programmer who's interested in developing/adapting a 
driver for this scanner, I'd like to know! I can provide some additional 
information if necessary.

If anyone has any idea of the possible changes to be made to p12.c or 
p12ccd.c , so that I can try them, please tell me.


Thanks!

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I'm interested in more information about the Genius scanner. Can you please
enable the debug feature in the Makefile (enable the uncommented line #Debug=y),
recompile and reload the driver, and send the output of dmesg to this list.
I also need the output of 
cat /proc/pt_drv/device0/info

So I might cna pin down the differences between the Genius device and the PT12.

Please send the stuff directly to this list
Thanks
Gerhard
