<div>Hi all!</div>
<div>I've recently suscribed to this list as It seemed to me that SANE could fulfill my needs.</div>
<div>My name's Fran, from Spain and I'm working in a project that needs to read data from a flat-bed scanner and put them to a file.</div>
<div>I've been reading the online doc (no downloads done yet) and I could make myself an idea about how it goes, but no answers about my specific needs (obviously, that's why they are specific! XD), so just after dipping my nose on the downloads (API and companion documents) and stuffing me in reading along (past posts included) , I'd need some advice from an expert as to know if my specific needs could be (not-so hardly) implemented fiddling with the backend of SANE.
</div>
<div>Well, it goes so: I need to override the flatbed motor behaviour as I'm only interested on reading ONE LINE, that is, the scanned image should be the minimum that the CCD can physically handle and send back to the processing engine. By the doc's I've read, I think it could be managed with the scanning area properties, but not sure about wether the motor control is "as is" and SANE has to deal with some standards that include predefined (and unavoidable) pre-positioning motor high level commands. So the think is more or less that I want to make a LINE reader taking out the mechanics of an standard fb scanner and settig fixed the CCD position (not moving).
</div>
<div>Well, I hope this is not a big deal to do with SANE, and I will be gratefull if some guru points me to meke me assured that SANE is (or isn't!) my path to follow through...</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
