<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Dear Allan,<br><br></div>did you had time to look into the problem? Just want to know if I should keep this up and trying to e.g. pull the newest versions from git, or put it to my other not-yet-solved tasks keeping it on hold. ;)<br>
</div>Would be glad if you could tell me if this seems to be a longer bad debugging task (in which I gladly will try tohelp and try to participate) or, if it seems to be a simple one-line patch which might be simply fixed with the next release.<br>

<br></div>2013_10_07_15_55_02.pdf is a original scan from a Windows machine running in a Virtualbox. As you see it seems to be perfectly ok.<br>
<br></div>It might be interesting to mention that the USB-activity symbol under Virtualbox indicates a constant activity as soon as I virtually attach the scanner to the client. There seems some constant data exchange. Possibly this somehow leaves the scanner in a faulty state since I (virtually) unplug the scanners USB connection.<br>

I have never heard of the distorted image problem, perhaps this<br>
scanner needs some special initialization step. Can you send one of<br>
the garbage images to me in a pnm file?<br>
