Great! I'm adding it to the list of supported devices.

I can prescan with my Hp envy 5640 but when It finish It freeze de program. The scan is done ok.
But when trying to scan (real scan) It gang at connecting to scanner.

This looks promising anyway!

Please click Scanner Capabilities and paste here what the program displays.

The feeder isn't programmed yet. I'm trying to gradually introduce options that I can't test myself. Unfortunately, my scanner doesn't have a feeder. Please use Scanner Capabilities and paste the displayed result here.

I get this in airscanner debug log:

Ready. Scan and draw crop rectangle!
Pobieram /eSCL/ScannerCapabilities ...
Błąd: brak odpowiedzi z /ScannerCapabilities!

I see I need to translate some error messages.
that meant:
I'm downloading /eSCL/ScannerCapabilities ...
Error: No response from /ScannerCapabilities!

I've uploaded a new version of the program. Currently, during the first successful connection to the scanner, the program downloads a list of supported resolutions, sends them to the selection window, and saves them in a preferences file along with the IP address and the detected scanner name. Upon restart, the program loads this data into the interface. You won't see resolutions your scanner doesn't support anymore.

Unfortunately, access to the scanner's properties, which are normally shared with the scanner's address in /eSCL/ScannerCapabilities, is key to this program's logic. The non-standard location of this information prevents the program from working properly in this version. However, I will continue to investigate a solution.

Try to choose HTTP instead of HTTPS before clicking Scanner capabilities.

With http I get Error: no response from /ScannerCapabilities!

I tried my Canon MF750.

Only HTTP saw the scanner, not HTTPS.

When I hit scan you see the scanner get ready to scan but just stop before it does it.

Here is the message in the box:
Scan start failed: HTTP 500

Do yu see anything after clicking HTTP and Scanner Capabilities?

Yes, lots and lots of text. I will PM it to you...

Did I understand you correctly that despite these errors, in prescan mode it saves escl_prescan.jpg to RAM:T?
I'm embarrassed to ask, but in the printer settings (via the website) do you have Network scanning = Enable?

Dont worry about asking hehehehe
But I have something extrange here. My printer/scanner is at 192.168.0.63 but airScanner is pointing to 192.168.0.69 and it can prescan!
Each time I change it to 0.63 it cant find the scanner but can prescan and when I restart the program it shows 0.69 again and detect the scanner!

Even I have created airScanner.prefs with 102.168.0.63 but it shows 0.69 and can prescan.

So...difficult to explain. Will wait for more updates and no bored to you with this madness.

Indeed, what you're saying is interesting. The address 69 visible at startup is my scanner's address. I can, of course, change it to 0.0.0.0 or 192.168.0.0, but I think it's a minor issue since after the first time I save the correct address, it's already loaded from preferences. Why it works for you with my address and not the actual printer address, I have no idea :). Similarly, I have no idea how it's possible that prescan works for you but scanner capabilities don't. I'm afraid you might lose prescan with subsequent versions, because since the current version 0.58, I've also been relying on capabilities for prescan. I've tried finding more information about your printer online, but only generalities. You've probably implemented an early version of eSCL, from before the Mopria standard was established, and that's why I'm having trouble meeting its requirements. If subsequent versions do not work for you, we will make a simplified version for you based on the working prescan, because as I understand it, prescan worked for you and saves the file in ram:T?

Yes, prescan works and the result is saved to ram, then the program freezes.

Perhaps the problem is what you say, a no so complete protocol support in my printer/scanner

I Will try further versions so keep the good work and thanks.

Version 0.6 here

Tried newest version and when I scan it gives a Hollywood Player error window that says:
Image file "esci_scan.jpg" is in an unknown/unsupported format! File: airScanner4hws (current line: 866 - In function: Load Brush)

After you close the error window is closes the app.

Prescan seems to work fine.

Try this temporary alpha: https://amiga.icu/download.php?lng=en&pg=10&tconfig=3#z2

Changes in prescan and scan plus extra in the Advanced tab, an additional scan button that currently scans to a PDF file - it will not display the scanning result but should save the PDF in RAM:

Making progress :)

It creates a blank PDF in ram.

The prescan create a jpeg in ram that is readable.

Updated to 0.63. Polish, German, French, Italian and Spanish catalogs included. Added support for TIFF format (if supported by the scanner). Increased time limit, which improved scanning at high resolutions.


airScanner

...ah, and you changed prefs file name!
At first I was "startled" that my scan prefs have gone... ;)

At least in my case, saving JPG files in black&white or grey mode is not possible:

"This functionality requires library "filters"!
File: airScanner.hws (current line: 632 - In function: BrushToMonochrome)".

One question regarding usage: if I do a prescan, does this prescan already uses the DPI set in real scanning?
Or what is the correct usage:
1.) Prescan
2.) mark the area I want to save
and then?
3.) just save? or
3.) scan?

Thank you for your test!
I forgot to declare the library "filters" in the compilation for MiniWood. This will be corrected in the new version.

The program's current logic assumes that pre-scanning only serves as a quick preview of the scanned object. It is performed at the lowest possible frequency. The priority is the speed of obtaining the preview. In practice, depending on the scanner, the resolution is 75, 100, or 150 dpi. Higher resolutions are only available in Real and Advanced modes.

In Basic mode, scanning is always performed in color. The next step is selecting a section (by default, the entire scanner's workspace, i.e., A4, is selected) and saving it in JPEG or PDF format, with optional color conversion using built-in Hollywood functions to grayscale or black and white.

In Advanced mode, scanning is performed using the scanner's built-in color modes, as in standard scanning software. There is (yet) no cropping, and the entire scanner's workspace (A4) is saved. In the future, I would like to link the Advanced mode to Prescan in such a way that only the area selected in Preview is scanned and not the entire work area.

To answer your question directly, if you want to save a fragment of an area, run RealScan with a set dpi, then crop the fragment and save it with an optional color mode change. Prescan is not required, unless the lowest resolution is sufficient, in which case you can process everything in Prescan mode.

The link for the software doesn't work.

That's weird. The link was correct but it didn't work. I replaced it with the same one and it works.
