[comp.graphics] Eikonix Scanners

We have an Eikonix scanner (1400 series) here, and are wondering who else
might have one of these beasts.  I'd be interested in discussing applications
and algorithms involving the configuration and use of this or other "high
resolution" CCD based scanners.

Right now I'm developing software to run the scanner to produce images in the
format used by our CAD package.  I'm finding that the literature from
Kodak/Eikonix on configuration of the scanner is less than I could hope for.
I am implementing an "auto exposure" (auto-configuration actually) algorithm
similar to that in most video cameras.  Has anyone else done this?  Would you
be willing to discuss details or share code?
