- The ScanTek scanner driver has the following features:
-
- 1. Support of the following SCSI Microtek scanner models:
- ScanMaker IISP, ScanMaker II, HIGHSCREEN Flatbed Color IIs,
- ScanMaker E3, ScanMaker 35t
-
- 2. Support of black/white, built-in halftone (dither), one-pass-color-scan,
- grey, red, green and blue scan.
-
- 3. Individual setting of resolution, scanning frame, contrast, shadow,
- midtone, highlight, exposure time and scanning speed for download to the
- scanner.
-
- 3. Scanning to IFF File of 1, 8 or 24 bit color depth. The maximum size of
- the scanned image is independent from the RAM size. After the scanning
- process it is possible to start an external program.
-
- 4. GUI for preview and configuration of the driver. You need Kickstart 2.04
- or higher.
-
- 5. Sizeable preview window in black/white or grey scale. There are
- much more skilled programs to view and manipulate the scanned images
- in color. (A tool like ADPRO, IMAGE FX or so is needed, if you want to
- do sophisticated postproduction)
-
- 6. Screenmode requester to define screen for working.
-
- 7. Configurable SCSI device and SCSI ID. ( Yes, the driver supports only
- SCSI connectable Microtek scanners. This is not rather bad, since I
- do not know of any NON-SCSI scanner from Microtek).
-
- 8. Support of Microtek II three pass color scanner, but I have implemented
- this support without testing because I have no Microtek II scanner.
- Try it and report to me all problems (if any) to implement a full working
- version.
-
- 8. The driver is tested with the following SCSI drivers: oktagon.device and
- gvpscsi.device V4.5.
-
- 9. ScanTek is written using SAS C 6.55.
-
- 10. ScanTek is SHAREWARE.
-
- 11. The non registered version of ScanTek is a full working version but all
- scanned images have black lines to motivate you to register.
