I just tried gscan2pdf. |
| 29 |
It does not offer auto-feed either; black borders still persist (so it |
| 30 |
must be an issue with Brother driver. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
In addition, I've noticed big difference is scan size of an image. |
| 33 |
Small receipt size: ~4in x 3in saved as pdf B/W in 200dpi resolution: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
gscan2pdf produced file size: 66.7kB |
| 36 |
xsane produce file size: 12.4kB |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
So in file size perspective xsane produced much smaller size. |
| 39 |
gscan2pdf provide crop tool to cut the borders, xsane does not have any |
| 40 |
crop tools. |
