MUISnapScan 1.31 (06-Feb-1999) GIFTWARE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it ?
------------
It is a simple tool to drive AGFA SNAPSCAN 310 SCSI scanner. You can make
scans up to 600 dpi and save images in IFF or JPEG formats.
This program is Giftware.
Requirements
------------
An Amiga
An AGFA SNAPSCAN 310 SCSI scanner
An SCSI interface
MUI V3.3
jpeg.library for jpeg saving.
asyncio.library for faster operations (tmp files)
Installation
------------
No installation script is provided because you only have to
copy all files into a directory of your choice.
Features
--------
- 24-bit IFF or JPEG file saving.
- Locale
- Use tmp file when scanning buffer don't fit in memory
Usage
-----
Very simple to use !
Settings window:
Fill the device and unit parameters in option window.
Set an appropriate directory for tmp files (in 600 dpi mode
files size can be up to 100MB !).
Set the file format (and parameters) for image saving.
You can set up the image size in the image window.
Main window
Set the scanning mode (Black & White, Gray Scale or Color)
Set the scanning resolution (1..2400 DPI)
Use 'Preview' to see a preview of the whole scanner window.
Use 'Scan' to scan at given resolution & size.
Use 'Save' to save the scan image.
Image window
Move and resize the scan limits in order to change scan parameters.
Bugs
----
Sometimes, the scanner hangup at the end of the scan. It's seems to be
a bug in the scanner firmware, because it happens with PC Software too.
Sometimes, the scanner origin initialisation at power on is not correct,
causing an offset (scanner can go to the mecanical stops at full stroke).
Settings of the image size is only read at startup.
With 310 models, the color scan can have 'shifted colors'. If this happens,
you have to adjust the colors offets by hand (I don't know how to get this
automatically, sorry). For this, go into the Option window, Scanner, Advanced.
Unselect the AutoConfig option and adjust the 3 last parameters (R,G,B Offsets).
