[sane-devel] Linotype X-ray Scanner

[Piernicola Oliva]

Hi,
I'm sorry for annoying you again, but I can't solve the problem.
I am using the command

 scanimage -d umax:/dev/sgb --source Transparency Adapter --resolution 300dpi 
-l 30 -t 10 -x 175 -y 225 --depth 12

so I should obtain 12bit (in two byte) per channel per pixel.
But this is a picture of bytes (two for one channel) that I obtain:

00001001 - 10100000
00001010 - 11110000
00001000 - 00100000
00001001 - 01100000
00001010 - 10010000
00001000 - 01100000
00001001 - 10000000
00001010 - 10110000
00001000 - 10000000
00001001 - 11100000
00001010 - 11010000
00001000 - 11000000
00001001 - 11100000
00001010 - 11110000
00001000 - 10010000
00001001 - 10100000
00001010 - 11010000
00001000 - 01100000
00001001 - 10100000
00001010 - 11000000
00001000 - 00110000
00001001 - 10000000
00001010 - 10000000


as you can see, they 8 bits values shifted of 4 bits.
what happens?
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you
Pier
