+.SH "NAME"
+sane\-lexmark \- SANE backend for Lexmark X1100/X1200 Series scanners
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+.B sane\-lexmark
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to the scanner part of Lexmark X1100/X1200 AIOs. This backend
+should be considered
+.B beta-quality
+software!
+.PP
+The scanners that should work with this backend are:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+ Vendor Model status
+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+ Lexmark X74 good
+ Lexmark X1110 untested
+ Lexmark X1140 untested
+ Lexmark X1150 good
+ Lexmark X1170 good
+ Lexmark X1180 good
+ Lexmark X1185 complete
+ Lexmark X12xx good in USB1.1,
+ not fully tested in USB2.0
+ Dell A920 good

+
+The options the backend supports can either be selected through
+command line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI
+elements in xscanimage or xsane.
+
+.br
+If you have any strange behavior, please report to the backend
+maintainer or to the SANE mailing list.
+
+Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
+.RS
+scanimage \-\-help \-d lexmark:usb:<usb port>
+.RE
+
+.TP
+.B Scan Mode Options
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-mode
+selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices are
+.IR Color ,
+.I Gray
+and
+.I Lineart
+The default mode is Color. The Lineart mode is black and white only (1 bit).
+Grayscale will produce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color mode allows for over
+16 million different colors produced from 24 bits of color information.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-resolution
+selects the resolution for a scan. The horizontal and vertical resolutions are set
+by the value of this option. The scanner is capable of the following resolutions for the specified option value:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+ Value Hor. Resolution Vert. Resolution
+ \-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+ 75 75dpi 75dpi
+ 150 150dpi 150dpi
+ 300 300dpi 300dpi
+ 600 600dpi 600dpi
+ 1200 600dpi 1200dpi (only for X11xx models with 'B2' sensor)
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-preview
+requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 75 dpi
+and the scan area and the scan mode are as specified through their options,
+or the default if not specified. The default value for preview mode is "no".
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-threshold
+selects the minimum-brightness to get a white point. The threshold is only used with Lineart mode scans.
+It is specified as a percentage in the range 0..100% (in steps of 1).
+The default value of the threshold option is 50.
+
+
+.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
+The configuration file @CONFIGDIR@/lexmark.conf contains only the usb device id (eg usb 0x043d 0x007c).
+
+
+.SH "FILES"
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-lexmark.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-lexmark.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
+support dynamic loading).
+
+
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK
+.B SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK_LOW
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
+environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g.,
+a value of 255 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels
+reduce verbosity.
+
+
+.SH "LIMITATIONS"
+The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE
+backend. However they are only software adjustments. This backend only
+implements what the scanner can support. For instance, shading correction
+(vertical stripes due to sensor variation across its width) is done in
+software. Head park position is also detected by software.
+The data compression isn't supported for the X1200 series on USB 1.1,
+leading to slow scans.
+
+.SH "BUGS"
+.br
+No bugs currently known.
