<br>
I'm pleased to announce the support of the duplexing ADF on HP 8200 series<br>
scanners, which includes the 8200, 8250, 8270, and 8290. Additionally, I've<br>
(re)added support for the Avision AV220-G scanner which seems to have<br>
suffered from a regression in the code. I've just committed these, along<br>
with several other fixes, to the repository. A big thanks to Steve Lipinski<br>
for lion's share of USB dumping and tirelessly applying patch after patch to<br>
get the HP 8200 series working.<br>
<br>
For the sake of future Avision users scanning the mail archive, I'm going to<br>
list the remaining known issues with the backend. I've only recently taken<br>
over maintenance of the backend, so this list may not be complete:<br>
<br>
1) The Avision AV120 is suffering from a regression. I think seeing a<br>
Windows USB dump will give some clues as to why it's not working.<br>
<br>
2) The Avision AV220-G doesn't correctly handle resolutions above 300 dpi.<br>
This hardware is capable of 600 dpi. I'm still looking at this one.<br>
<br>
3) The HP 8200 series doesn't correctly handle resolutions above 2400 dpi.<br>
This hardware is capable of 4800 dpi. I'm just starting to look at this<br>
problem. Testers always welcome.<br>
<br>
4) I have had one report that color scans on the Visioneer Xerox Documate 510<br>
produce banded output. I've looked at the resulting scan image with its<br>
strange color banding, but I'm not sure what is causing it. I'm seeking<br>
a tester who can do Windows USB dumps with this scanner.<br>
<br>
