Weird noise while scanning, using scanimage and a Canon Lide 35
- by Manu
I'm trying to scan a bunch of images, using xsane's scanimage :
scanimage --format=tiff --batch --batch-prompt
This command scans the first picture perfectly, but as soon as I press enter, the scanner makes a weird noise, and the scanning "arm" moves very, very slowly.
If I stop scanimage and start again, it scans normally again.
Is there another scanimage option that I need to add? I've checked the man page, but can't see what I'm missing.
Edit: the problem seems to be that the scanning "arm" doesn't go back to it's original position after the first scan.
