I want to scan a page with *scanimage* and my Brother ADS-1700W scanner. The command I came up with looks like this:
scanimage -d "brother5:bus3;dev2" --mode "Black & White" --resolution 300 --AutoDescew=yes --format tiff >out.tiff
This yields the following error:
unrecognized option '--AutoDescew'
The AutoDescew-option seems to be supported by my scanner. I checked this by executing
scanimage -h
which gave me the following output:
Options specific to device `brother5:bus3;dev2': :
--mode 24bit Color[Fast]|Black & White|True Gray|Gray[Error Diffusion] [24bit Color[Fast]]
Select the scan mode
--resolution 100|150|200|300|400|600|1200dpi
Sets the resolution of the scanned image.
--source Automatic Document Feeder(left aligned)|Automatic Document Feeder(center aligned)|Automatic Document Feeder(left
aligned,Duplex)|Automatic Document Feeder(center aligned,Duplex)|Card
Slot|Card Slot(Duplex) [Automatic Document Feeder(left aligned)]
Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder).
--brightness -50..50% (in steps of 1) [inactive]
Controls the brightness of the acquired image.
--contrast -50..50% (in steps of 1) [inactive]
Controls the contrast of the acquired image.
--MultifeedDetection[=(yes|no)] [inactive]
--AutoDocumentSize[=(yes|no)] [no] [advanced]
--AutoDeskew[=(yes|no)] [no] [advanced]
--SkipBlankPage[=(yes|no)] [inactive]
--SkipBlankPageSensitivity 0..100% (in steps of 1) [inactive]
Why is that option "unrecognized"? Does it have to do with the option being marked as "advanced"?
Bonus question: how would I enable the "inactive" options? E.g. SkipBlankPage
?
I know my scanner supports this, but I have no idea how to enable it...
