+
+Here are a few rules and tips that should help writing a
+SANE-conforming backend and including it into the SANE package:
+
+
+GETTING STARTED
+---------------
+
+* You will need information about the protocol the scanner (or other image
+  application device) is using. The easiest way is to ask the manufacturer
+  about it. You should mention that the code will be open-source, however.
+
+* Read the SANE standard.
+
+* One approach is to write a stand-alone scanning program first. Debugging
+  this program is usually easier than using the SANE libraries. However, keep
+  in mind what you learned from the SANE standard.
+
+* Once your program works basically, insert its functions into a basically
+  empty SANE backend. You can get one by removing everything but the SANE
+  includes and SANE API function definitions from an existing backend (e.g.
+  test.c).
+
+* If you have any information about the scanner you want to support that
+  is not already mentioned in one of the .desc files, please contact the
+  sane-devel mailing list. Especially if you have written code (e.g. a test
+  program) or started writing a backend, contact us.
+
+* Keep other users informed about what you did and want to do. This way no
+  work is done twice and you may get volunteers for coding or testing.
+  Set up a website or at least write to sane-devel. If you have a website,
+  a link to it can be included in the .desc file and users looking for that
+  scanner will find it on the SANE website.
+
+* When you have a working backend but you don't want to have it included
+  in the SANE distribution yet, at least the .desc file can be included
+  (see below for details). So people will find a link to your backend at
+  the SANE webpage.
+
+
+CONFIGURATION AND BUILD SYSTEM
+------------------------------
+
+Sane-backends uses the autoconf and automake tools. The configure script is
+generated from configure.in and aclocal.m4 by running "autoreconf". 
+Simple checks (e.g. for headers) should be placed into configure.in while 
+for more complex stuff acinclude.m4 is the right file. After changes in one 
+of these files, "autoreconf" should be called.  This will then call a
+chain of autotools, such as autoconf to generate configure, autoheader
+to generate include/sane/config.h.in, and automake to generate various
+Makefile.in's from Makefile.am's.  All changes made by "autoreconf" must
+be commited together.
+
+When running configure, the Makefiles in the main and sub-directories are
+created from their respective Makefile.in files. Also include/sane/config.h
+which is included into to every c file is created from its .in file.
+
+Running "make" runs the respective targets in the sub directories recursively.
+
+The Makefile.am in each directory contains lists of files which are part of the
+distribution and which are therefore copied to the tar.gz archive, when a
+release is made. It's important that newly added files are also added to 
+a variable that will cause them to be distributed (EXTRA_DIST at a minimum).
+
+For creating binaries and libraries libtool is used. The ltmain.sh script
+contains special modifications for SANE. These modifications ensure that 
+the soname of each SANE backend library is "libsane.so". Without this 
+change, backend libraries (like "libsane-epson.so") could not used as 
+on-the-fly replacement for the dll backend.
+
+DIRECTORY OVERVIEW
+------------------
+
+This chapter explains some details about the files and directories used in the
+sane-backends distribution.
+
+sane-backends/
+  * acinclude.m4 aclocal.m4 compile config.guess config.sub configure 
+    configure.in depcomp install-sh ltmain.sh Makefile.am Makefile.in missing 
+    mkinstalldirs: Part of the build system as explained above.
+  * ChangeLog:
+    The ChangeLog contains all the changes made since the last stable release. 
+    If anything is changed in git, it must be also mentioned in ChangeLog. 
+    It's not enough to write just a git commit message, as users won't have 
+    access to these messages. For more details on the format, see the SANE 
+    git page on the website.
+  * ChangeLog-1.0.0, ChangeLog-1.0.1 (...):
+    These files contain the ChangeLogs of older releases. Once a new release has
+    been made, the current ChangeLog renamed to ChangeLog-1.something.something
+    and a new empty ChangeLog is created.
+  * AUTHORS COPYING INSTALL LICENSE:
+    General documentation + license.
+  * NEWS:
+    This is some kind of executive summary of the ChangeLog. It will be created
+    before a release. 
+  * PROBLEMS:
+    General (severe) problems that all SANE users should be
+    aware. Backend-specific trouble should normally not mentioned there. 
+  * PROJECTS:
+    Planned SANE-related development (e.g. ports, frontends). New backends won't
+    be listed here but a new .desc file will be created for them (see below).
+  * README:
+    General building instructions.
+  * README.aix README.beos (...):
+    Platform-dependent building and usage instructions. 
+  * sane-backends.lsm:
+    The .lsm file as used for the ibiblio archive.
+
+sane-backends/backend/
+  This is where the actual backend code is placed. As an example the file
+  structure for a backend named "newbackend" is listed below. Backend names must
+  be unique and should not contain any special characters. Lower case letters,
+  numbers and underscores "_" are ok.
+  Backend documentation of any kind should not be placed here but in the doc/
+  directory. Code which is useful for more than one backend should be placed in
+  sanei/ instead.
+  * newbackend.c:
+    The main backend file, usually contains the SANE API code. Mandatory. 
+  * newbackend.h:
+    Header file, containing includes and so on.
+  * newbackend.conf.in:
+    Configuration file for the backend, newbackend.conf will be created by 
+    running "make" from this file. Some variables are substituted, e.g. for 
+    installation directories. This is especially useful for firmware 
+    directories. See Makefile.am for a list.
+  * newbackend-low.c:
+    Contains low level code for the "newbackend" backend. Depending on the
+    complexity of the backend, splitting it to several files can be appropriate,
+    the total number of files shouldn't exceed approx. 10, however.
+  Other files:
+  * Makefile.am, Makefile.in:
+    Makefile.am contains rather complex rules for building the backends. For
+    adding backends, special care should be taken concerning the FIRMWARE_DIRS
+    (add your backend name here, if your scanner needs firmware files) and
+    other variables (see build system description). There is some
+    documentation inside of Makefile.am on what needs to be added and where.
+    At a minimum, a convenience library of form lib${backend}.la and
+    a installed library libsane-${backend}.la must be defined.  Any
+    sanei objects referenced should be listed in a
+    libsane_${backend}_la_LIBADD line.
+  * sane_strstatus.c:
+    Contains the code for the sane_strstatus() function to avoid code
+    duplication in every backend.
+
+sane-backends/doc/
+   Documentation for SANE. For some more details, see chapter DOCUMENTATION
+   below. Again an example for "newbackend":
+   * sane-newbackend.man: 
+     The manual page of the backend. From this file, "sane-newbackend.5" is
+     generated by running "make". 
+   * newbackend/ (directory)
+     Contains additional information about newbackend, e.g. READMEs or TODO
+     files. 
+   General files:
+   * Makefile.in:
+     "sane-newbackend.5" must be added to variable BACKEND_5MANS and
+      "sane-newbackend.man" to EXTRA_DIST. A backend documentation directory 
+      (if used) must be added to the BEDOCS variable.
+   * backend-writing.txt:
+     This file.
+   * descriptions.txt:
+     Describes the format of .desc files.
+   * doxygen-sanei.conf.in:
+     Used by doxygen to create the documentation of the sanei code.
+   * releases.txt:
+     Explains how to make releases of sane-backends.
+   * sane.tex, net.tex:
+     Contains the LaTeX source of the SANE standard.
+   * descriptions/ (directory)
+     Contains the .desc files for every backend that is included into 
+     sane-backends.
+   * descriptions-external/ (directory)
+     Contains the .desc files for backend that are not included into
+     sane-backends yet (external backends). These files should only be created
+     if the code it points to is really a SANE backend (and not just a command
+     line program). 
+
+sane-backends/frontend/
+     Contains the frontends scanimage, saned, and tstbackend.
+
+sane-backends/include/
+     Header files used by the SANE backends. The main directory contains the
+     headers used for general librar functions like getopt, while the
+     SANE-specific headers are located in include/sane/:
+     * config.h.in:
+       Main header file needed for portablility. config.h is created from this
+       file and must be included by every backend. 
+     * sane.h: 
+       Official SANE API header file. Don't change this without discussion on
+       the sane-devel mailing list.
+     * saneopts.h:
+       Defines several option NAMEs, TITLEs and DESCs that are (or should be)
+       used by several backends.
+     * sanei_*:
+       Sanei (SANE internal) headers. Needed for code used in several backends
+       like USB access. For more details, see the documentaion on the SANE website.
+
+sane-backends/japi/
+     Contains Java interface for SANE. See README.JAVA for details.
+
+sane-backends/lib/
+     Contains various library functions that may miss in the standard C library
+     of some platforms. 
+
+sane-backends/po/
+     Translations of SANEbackend options. See README for details.
+
+sane-backends/sanei/
+     Sanei (SANE internal) code. Needed for code used in several backends
+     like USB access. For more details, see the documentaion on the SANE 
+     website.
+
+sane-backends/testsuite/
+     Testsuite for SANE. See README for details.
+
+sane-backends/tools/
+     Contains several tools for SANE. There are backend-specific and general command line
+     tools as well as the hotplug support and .desc file generation code. See
+     README for details.
+
+
+PROGRAMMING
+-----------
+
+* A backend library is always only one file (libsane-backendname.so). Please do
+  not use multiple libraries e.g. for lower and higher level code.
+
+* To add the backend to the existing SANE code, the following must be done at
+  least:
+    - add the backend name to ALL_BACKENDS in configure.in (and run autoreconf)
+    - Add new backend to BACKEND_CONFS, be_convenience_libs, be_dlopen_libs,
+      and define _lib${backend}_la_SOURCES and 
+      nodist_libsane_${backend}_la_SOURCES; using an existing backend as
+      a template.  Any sanei reference code should be listed in
+      libsane_${backend}_la_LIBADD as well as any external libraries
+      required to resolve all symbols.
+    - Add the source code files to the backend/ directories. All file names 
+      must start with the backend name (e.g. newbackend.c, newbackend.h and
+      newbackend-usb.c). 
+
+* Please follow the GNU coding standards.  It's clear that the style
+  outlined there is nobody's favorite, but it's much easier to
+  maintain SANE if everybody follows more or less the same coding
+  style.  It also looks more professional.  The GNU standards can be
+  found at:
+
+	http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html
+	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/standards/standards.text
+
+  Note that GNU emacs supports automatic indentation according to this
+  standard.  The command "indent -gnu" can be used to reformat
+  existing sources according to this standard.
+
+* Please be courteous to programmer's with terminals that are 80
+  characters wide.  It's not difficult to avoid long lines, so please
+  do so.  Note that in ANSI C you can split long strings into pieces
+  separated by white space.  For example,
+  "this is an awfully long string" can be written as "this is an "
+  "awfully long string".
+
+* Use only ANSI C for your backend. C99 is not supported by the compilers of
+  some older platforms so please avoid using its features.
+
+* Please do not depend on compiler specific features or, if you do, make
+  the dependency conditional so other compilers will still be able to
+  compile the files.  In particular:
+
+    - do not use C++ style comments (//-line comments)
+
+    - do not declare dynamically sized automatic arrays; instead,
+      use alloca() after including "../include/lalloca.h".  For example:
+
+		void
+		func (int n)
+		{
+		  char buf[n];
+		}
+
+      should be re-written as:
+
+		#ifdef _AIX
+		# include "../include/lalloca.h" /* MUST come first for AIX! */
+		#endif
+
+		#include "../include/sane/config.h"
+		#include "../include/lalloca.h"
+			:
+		void
+		func (int n)
+		{
+		  char *buf = alloca (n);
+		}
+    - Don't use any #pragma directives---they're completely
+      compiler-dependent.
+
+* If you use headers or libraries that may not be available on all systems,
+  write a check for configure.in and include it conditionally. If your backend
+  depends on these libraries or headers, compile the backend only if they are 
+  available (see pint for an example).
+
+* Use #include ".../include/sane/..." to include the sane header files
+  instead of #include <sane/...>. Otherwise problems with different installed
+  SANE versions may occur. Also this makes clear that the local files are used.
+
+* Don't forget to #include ".../include/sane/config.h" in your backend before
+  any other includes. This must be done for any .c file that generates its own
+  object file. If you use lalloca.h see above for the correct includes.
+
+* Include sanei_backend.h after the other includes.
+
+* It's no longer necessary to #define PATH_MAX (now in sanei_backend.h).
+  If you define it, do so *after* the system includes.
+
+* Please use sanei functions whenever possible (e.g. 
+  sanei_config_read()). This makes porting to other os/platforms much
+  easier. Most of these functions are documented in their respective 
+  header files in include/sane/sanei_*.h. For most of them there is also
+  documentation in doxygen format: http://www.sane-project.org/sanei/. These
+  HTML pages can be generated by calling "doxygen sanei-doxygen.conf" in
+  the doc/ directory.
+
+* Initialize global variables explicitly in sane_init. Keep in mind that
+  sane_init can be called more than once (if sane_exit is called everytime
+  after sane_init). Therefore don't depend on automatic initialization to
+  0 / NULL.
+
+* Do make sure that your code is byte-order independent.  This is
+  particularly important for networking-related code and when dealing
+  with non-textual data files.
+
+* Don't use printf, fprintf or perror to output debug or error messages.
+  Use the DBG macro instead. If your backend can't detect a scanner for
+  whatever reason it shouldn't output anything as long as
+  SANE_DEBUG_BACKENDNAME isn't set. So don't use DBG(0, ...) in this case.
+
+* Please do not assume that `size_t' is `unsigned int'.  On some
+  systems, it's `unsigned long' and the size of this type may be
+  bigger than that of an int (this is true for practically any of the
+  64-bit systems).  To print a variable of type size_t portably, cast
+  the variable to u_long and print it with the %lu specifier.  E.g.:
+
+	size_t len;
+
+	DBG(3, "len=%lu\n", (u_long) len);
+
+* Please do not assume that `void *' has the same size as `int'.  On some
+  systems, it's `long' and the size of this type may be bigger than that of
+  an int (this is true for practically any of the 64-bit systems). Where this
+  comes up is with opaque handles. For example:
+
+  int OpaqueHandle;
+  MyScanner *s = (MyScanner *)OpaqueHandle;
+
+  will FAIL on most 64 bit systems. Please use `void *' or better
+  `SANE_Handle'.
+
+* Don't use exit() in your backend. You will exit the whole program, not only
+  your backend.
+
+* If you use wait() or waitpid() in your backend, check its return value. This
+  is important, if the status value is checked for e.g. WIFEXITED after the
+  call of wait() or waitpid(). Both functions may fail if the frontend already
+  did a wait for the children.
+
+* Please try to avoid compilation warnings. At least with "--disable-warnings"
+  there shouldn't be warnings when compiling backends. It's not necessary to
+  fix every "unused parameter" warning but take care that no warnings pointing
+  to really existing problems or ambiguities are missed. Some programming
+  techniques generating warnings on gcc may lead to errors on other systems.
+
+* To support translation of SANE options, please mark the descriptions (desc)
+  and title of options with SANE_I18N() and add all files using SANE_I18N() to
+  po/POTFILES. See po/README for details.
+
+* Please check for TL_X < BR_X and TL_Y < BR_Y to avoid segfaults or even
+  scanner damage. This should NOT be done in sane_control_option, it should
+  be possible to temporary set TL_X > BR_X or TL_ > BR, otherwise it is hard
+  for a frontend to set the correct values.
+
+
+TESTING
+-------
+
+* Please test a backend with "scanimage -T" (plus other options,
+  as appropriate/necessary) as this will make sure that sane_read()
+  always returns the correct amount of data etc.
+
+* You can also test a backend with tstbackend. tstbackend is not
+  compiled nor installed by default. To do that, cd into frontend and
+  run "make tstbackend".
+
+* Please test a backend not just with scanimage and xscanimage 
+  (+ other frontends), but also with saned.  Based on past experience,
+  it is often the case that remote scanning can uncover subtle bugs.
+  Note that you don't  have to use two different machines to test "remote"
+  scanning---you can use one and the same machine to test a backend via saned
+  (just be sure to enable the "net" backend in dll.conf and follow the
+  steps described in saned(8)).
+
+* Please test on every available platform/os. Even if no scanner is attached
+  to this system, test compilation and running scanimage. If you don't have
+  access to other platforms, ask sane-devel.
+
+* Please make sure that all global symbols exported from a SANE backend start
+  with the prefix "sane" or "sanei" to avoid clashes with exported symbols 
+  of other backends. Only symbols mentioned in the SANE standard should start
+  with "sane_*". Make sure, the sanei_* symbols are unique, e.g. by using
+  sanei_backendname_*.  Only export symbols that are absolutely necessary.
+  You can verify this by running GNU "nm" on the static library.  For example:
+
+	nm -g  backend/.libs/libsane-hp.a
+
+  would list all global symbols in the HP backend. 
+
+  "./configure; make; make libcheck" in the sane-backends root directory
+  will name all backend libraries, that contain "illegal" symbols.
+
+DOCUMENTATION
+-------------
+
+* Even if you haven't written a man-page for your backend yet, you *must*
+  create a .desc file which describes it. Anytime you submit source code for
+  your backend, you should include an update to the .desc file which reflects
+  the new state of the backend. The .desc files are used to create the HTML
+  lists of supported devices. These lists are updated automatically when you
+  change a .desc file in git. See e.g.
+  http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-mfgs-cvs.html for the results.
+
+* The .desc files are located in the directories "doc/descriptions" and
+  "doc/descriptions-external" (for included and external backends).
+
+* "doc/descriptions.txt" describes the format of the ".desc" files. There is
+  also a template for new .desc files: "template.desc.". The format of the
+  files in the two directories is very similar.  If you'd like to try parsing
+  your creation to recreate the sane-backends webpages, cd into "tools/" and
+  enter "make sane-desc". You can either use sane-desc directly (try 
+  "./sane-desc -h") or use "make html-pages" in "doc/". 
+
+* For external backends, you don't need to supply :manpage and :version. The
+  manpage link won't work anyway and version will be outdated soon.
+
+* When your backend is included in the SANE distribution, add an entry to
+  doc/sane.man, AUTHORS and sane-backends.lsm. The sane.man entry should point
+  to your documentation (man-page, website, readme).  Also move your .desc
+  file from "doc/descriptions-external" to "doc/descriptions" and update
+  them.
+
+* In your manual page (backend.man), use @LIBDIR@ and the other macros for
+  path names to the libraries, config files and documentation. Don't use fixed
+  paths as they will be wrong if SANE is installed with a different prefix
+  (e.g. /usr instead of /usr/local).
+
+* If you want to include READMEs, HTML files or other documentation, please
+  create your own directory (doc/backendname) and store your files in this
+  directory. If you only have a manual page a subdirectory isn't necessary.
+
+* Please keep your manpages and .desc files up-to-date especially regarding
+  version numbers.
+
+
+CHECKLIST: SUBMITTING A NEW BACKEND 
+-----------------------------------
+
+In sane-backends/
+* Add the author(s) name(s) to AUTHORS
+* Correct any related entries in the bug-tracking system
+
+In sane-backends/backend/
+* Use the command "indent -gnu" to reformat your code according to the
+  standard.
+* Add the backend name to dll.conf
+* Check that the SANE license is in the backend source files.
+* Add the source file names and the .conf file
+  to BACKEND_CONFS in Makefile.am
+
+In sane-backends/doc/
+* Add an entry for the man page in sane.man
+* Add the man page file in doc/Makefile.in
+* Move the description file from descriptions-external/ to doc/descriptions/
+* Check that the description file is correct: "cd doc; make html-pages" and
+  check the html pages result with a browser.
+* Check that the backend version is the same in the source and in the
+  description file.
+  
+In sane-backends/po/
+* Add all files using SANE_I18N() to po/POTFILES
+
+
+INCLUDING INTO git
+------------------
+
+* If you want to include your backend into SANE's git tree use the latest git
+  to make patches. Check the mailing list and the bug-tracking system for
+  information about bugs to avoid.
+
+* If your backend isn't included yet in the SANE's git tree, write an email to
+  the SANE mailing list (sane-devel) and ask for inclusion. Usually one
+  of the developers will check the backend for common mistakes and test
+  compilation. If everything is ok the backend will be added to the git tree.

+How to install a CanoScan 2700F on a Linux box ? 
+by Stephan Hegel <ea273@fen.baynet.de>.
+Date:   Fri Jan 15 16:13:15 MEZ 1999
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Here is a short description on how to install the CanoScan 2700F film and
+slide scanner on a Linux box. Actually it was just written as a reminder
+for myself but I think it is a good idea to add it to Manuel Panea's
+Canon backend package. Please remember that there is NO GUARANTEE that
+this step by step instruction works also for you.
+Corrections and suggestions are welcome, of course. Thank you.
+
+
+1. How to install an Adaptec AVA-1502AP ?
+-----------------------------------------
+
+   The AVA-1502AP is is a small ISA Adaptec SCSI controller which is
+   shipped with the CanoScan slide scanner. Per default is has the 
+   address 0x140, the IRQ 10 and the SCSI host id 7. Check first for
+   conflicts with your already existing hardware.
+
+   Install the controller into the computer.
+
+   After starting the BIOS should detect the board as a PNP board. 
+   Boot the computer with the "SCSISelect" disk which is shipped with
+   the scanner to check that the controller is detected. Don't change
+   any settings except address, IRQ or SCSI id if necessary.
+
+   Configure a new Linux kernel (version 2.0.30 or newer) with:
+      SCSI Support (yes)
+      SCSI Generic support (yes)
+      Low level driver for aha152x (yes)
+   Note: here you can try to compile the SCSI support as modules as 
+         long as you don't boot the computer from a SCSI disk. But this
+         is not tested.
+
+   Compile and install the new Linux kernel.
+
+   Add "aha152x=0x140,10,7" to the "append" line to the already existing 
+   kernel parameters in lilo.conf, e.g:
+   -------------------
+   # Linux bootable partition config begins
+   image = /vmlinuz
+   root = /dev/hdc1
+   label = linux
+   append = "sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster aha152x=0x140,10,7"
+   # Linux bootable partition config ends 
+   -------------------
+
+   Invoke lilo to activate the changes.
+
+   Reboot the computer and watch the boot messages. The SCSI host
+   adapter should be there now.
+
+
+2. How to connect the scanner ?
+------------------------------
+
+   Shutdown and turn off the computer, connect the scanner with the SCSI
+   cable to the SCSI adapter. Set the SCSI Id with the turn-switch at
+   the back of the scanner body. I'm using SCSI Id 1 with "termination
+   on" since the scanner is the one and only device connected to my host
+   adapter.
+
+   Turn on the scanner first and wait for a few second. The scanner 
+   performs a short self test.
+
+   Turn on the computer.
+
+   Watch the boot messages, there should be a message indicating that 
+   the SCSI host adapter and the scanner are there.
+
+   Now you can check again that the scanner device is there:
+      cat /proc/scsi/scsi
+   Should print something like that:

+
+3. How to install SANE for the Canon 2700 film scanner ?
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+   Fetch the latest SANE distribution from the SANE homepage at:
+       http://www.sane-project.org/
+   
+   Unpack and configure it.
+   
+   Get the latest canon backend from Manuel's homepage:
+      http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~mpd/sane
+
+   Put the files in the sane/backend directory as described in the
+   README of the package. This overwrites the existing canon.* files
+   with the latest version of these files.
+   
+   Compile and install SANE.
+   
+   Add the "canon" scanner to the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf file:
+      -------- cut here ------------
+      # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network:
+      #net
+      pnm
+      #mustek
+      #hp
+      #qcam
+      #umax
+      canon
+      -------- cut here ------------
+   
+   Add a "canon.conf" file to the /usr/local/etc/sane.d directory:
+      -------- cut here ------------
+      scsi CANON 
+      -------- cut here ------------
+   
+   Check the available scanners:
+      scanimage -L
+   This should give something like this:
+      device `canon:/dev/sg0' is a CANON IX-27015C        film scanner
+      device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
+      device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
+
+   Invoke the frontend:
+      xscanimage & 
+   NOTE: The "xscanimage" frontend is in the SANE distribution. There 
+   is also another SANE frontend available which is called "xsane" by 
+   Oliver Rauch. It is still under heavy development and can be grabbed 
+   from:
+      http://www.wolfsburg.de/~rauch
+
+   A dialog box appears, select the canon scanner and here we go ... 
+   Happy scanning !!!

+; SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION's marketing division divides the world in
+; Japan and several overseas regions.  The same scanner is marketed
+; under different names in the various regions.  I have assumed the
+; Japan-centric point of view that the scanner names for the models
+; marketed in Japan are "canonical".  All the other model names are
+; considered overseas.
+
+; I have marked the models for which I have been able to download a
+; product specification with an indication of the site.
+;
+;   JP	= http://www.i-love-epson.co.jp/	(in Japanese)
+;
+; All command specs were downloaded from www.epsondevelopers.com.
+;
+; Note that the above location may have moved, may no longer exist
+; or no longer provide (unfettered) access to the specifications.
+
+; For the :comment sections I have tried to stick to the following
+; ordering
+;
+;   - support limitations
+;   - additional requirements
+;   - other backends that claim support
+;   - correspondence to other models

+SANE Backend specification files
+--------------------------------
+
+The specification files (e.g. epson.desc) describe the capabilities of the
+backends. They provide information about the backend itself (e.g., name and
+version) and about the supported devices (e.g., manufacturer and product
+names).  One file per backend should be used. Descriptions for backends
+included in the SANE distribution are located in
+`sane-backends/doc/descriptions/' while descriptions of external backends
+should be placed in `sane-backends/doc/descriptions-external/'.
+
+There is a special file `sane-backends/doc/descriptions/unsupported.desc' that
+doesn't belong to a backend but lists all (known) devices not supported by
+SANE. It may contain additional information about the device or links to
+non-SANE based programs.
+
+The specification files can be used to generate lists of backends and/or
+supported devices, hotplug/udev device lists, databases for search engines, and
+similar sources of information.  Currently the creation of ASCII output and HTML
+lists is supported by `tools/sane-desc.c'.  The generation of the HTML pages can
+be started by `make html-pages' in the doc/ directory.
+
+The file contents is basically emacs-lisp --- so ";" indicates comment to end
+of line.  Empty lines are ignored.
+
+All syntactic elements are keyword tokens, followed by a string or keyword
+argument, as specified.  All keyword tokens but ":backend" are optional.
+
+
+Backend-specific keyword tokens
+-------------------------------
+
+The keyword `:backend' must be specified exactly once.  It must be the first
+keyword in each specification file. It is followed by the name of the backend.
+Example: `:backend "epson"'
+
+The following backend-specific keyword tokens are optional. If they are used,
+they shouldn't be used more than once per file.
+
+`:version' has one string argument containing the backend's version
+number. The version should match the version used in the backend source code.
+Example: `:version: "12.3.5"'. If the backend isn't maintained, the version
+should be `unmaintained' or contain this tag together with the version number.
+
+`:new' indicates that the backend is brand-new in the latest SANE release if
+the keyword argument is `:yes'.  Otherwise, `:no' should be used or `:new'
+should be omitted at all.  
+Example: `:new :yes'
+
+The `:manpage' keyword token has one string argument that names the manual
+page for the backend.
+Example: `:manpage "sane-epson"'
+
+
+Device-specific keyword tokens
+------------------------------
+
+The keyword `:devicetype' starts a list of devices supported by the backend.
+It has one keyword argument.  The following types are possible: `:scanner',
+`:stillcam' (still camera), `:vidcam' (video camera), `:meta' (meta backend
+like dll), `:api' (API like PINT). `:devicetype' can be used more than
+once. Each instance starts a new list of devices.
+Example: `:devicetype :scanner'
+
+`:mfg' has one string argument that defines the name of the manufacturer of
+the following devices.  This keyword should be only used for hardware
+devicetypes (scanner, stillcam, vidcam). To avoid different spellings, the
+manufacturer list of the SANE standard should be used. `:mfg' can be used more
+than once.
+Example: `:mfg "Epson"'.
+
+The keyword token `:model' is used to specify the name of a hardware device in
+its string token. It must be preceded by a `:mfg' keyword. `:model' can be
+used more than once.
+Example: `:model "Perfection 636S"'
+
+`:interface' defines how the device is connected to the computer. Its string
+argument can be one or more of "SCSI", "USB", "Parport", "Serial port",
+"IEEE-1394", "JetDirect", "Ethernet", or "Proprietary". If neither one fits,
+please contact the SANE mailing list for advice. The "Parport" entries can be
+amended by "(SPP)", "(ECP)" and/or "(EPP)". The `:interface' keyword refers to
+the previous `:model', is optional and should be used only once per model.
+Example: `:interface "SCSI USB IEEE-1394"'
+
+`:usbid' defines the USB vendor and product ids of the device. It has two
+arguments which must be lower case hexadecimal (4 digits). The first one is the
+USB vendor id, the second one the USB product id. The keyword refers to the
+previous `:model', is optional, and applicable for devices with :interface "USB"
+only, and should be used only once per model. The special parameter "ignore" can
+be used if no vendor or product ids are given intentionally, e.g. for a group of
+scanners.
+Example: `:usbid "0x1234" "0x4321"'
+
+The keyword `:status' is an indication of the level of support for the model.
+It's followed by one of the following keyword arguments: `:unsupported',
+`:untested', `:minimal', `:basic', `:good', or `:complete'. The `:status'
+keyword refers to the previous `:model', is optional and should be used only
+once per model.
+`:unsupported' means the device is not supported at least by this backend. The
+keyword should only be used in the file `unsupported.desc', or to make clear
+that a specific scanner is not supported by a backend. `:untested' means the
+device may be supported but couldn't be tested. `:minimal' means that the
+device is detected and scans at least in one mode. But the quality is bad or
+important features won't work. `:basic' means it works at least in the most
+important modes but quality is not perfect. `:good' means the device is usable
+for day-to-day work. Some rather exotic features may be missing. `:complete'
+means the backends supports everything the device can do.  Example: `:status
+:untested'
+
+The `:desc' keyword token is used for non-hardware devices (API and meta). Its
+string argument describes the meta backend or API. It should be used only once
+per device type.
+Example: `:desc "Scanners with the machine-independent PINT interface"
+
+
+Multi-level keyword tokens
+--------------------------
+
+The following keyword tokens can be used after `:backend', `:mfg', `:model',
+and `:desc'. 
+
+One or more `:url' keyword tokens can be used to point to more information
+about the entry the keyword refers to.  The string argument contains a URL to
+e.g. a manufacturer's or backend's homepage.  The most important URL should be
+listed first.
+Example: `:url "http://www.epson.com/"'
+
+`:comment' is used to add more information to one of the entries. The string
+argument can e.g. contain comments on the level of support for a model.
+Example: `:comment "US version of GT-5000"'

+# Values that contain spaces should be placed between quotes (" ").

+.TH gamma4scanimage 1 "10 Jul 2008" "@PACKAGEVERSION@" "SANE Scanner Access Now Easy"
+.IX gamma4scanimage
+.SH NAME
+gamma4scanimage \- create a gamma table for scanimage
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B gamma4scanimage 
+.I gamma
+.RI [ shadow 
+.RI [ highlight
+.RI [ maxin
+.RI [ maxout ]]]]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The tool
+.B gamma4scanimage
+creates a gamma table in the format expected by scanimage. You can define a
+.BR gamma,
+a
+.BR shadow
+and a
+.BR highlight
+value. You also can specify the size
+.RB ( maxin )
+and maximum output value
+.RB ( maxout )
+of the gamma table.
+.PP
+.BR gamma
+is a floating point value, neutral value is 1.0, if the value is larger than
+1.0 then the image gets brighter.
+.PP
+.BR shadow
+defines the minimum input value that is necessary to create an output value
+larger than zero.  shadow has to be in the range [0..maxin]. Its default value
+is 0.
+.PP
+.BR highlight
+defines the maximum input value that produces an output value smaller than
+maxout.  highlight has to be in the range [0..maxin], highlight has to be
+larger than shadow. Its default value is the same as maxin (16383 if not set).
+.PP
+.BR maxin
+defines the size of the gamma table. The size depends on the scanner/backend.
+If the scanner uses 8 bits gamma input then maxin has to be set to 255, for 10
+bits 1023, for 12 bits 4095, for 14 bits 16383. The default is 16383.  To find
+out what value maxin has to be call scanimage with a very large gamma table
+[0]0-[99999]255 then scanimage prints an error message with the needed size of
+the gamma table.
+.PP
+.BR maxout
+defines the maximum output value. Take a look at the output of scanimage \-h to
+find out what maxout has to be. The default value is 255.
+.PP

+gt68xx.CHANGES -*-text-*-
+
+V 1.0.84 (2007-08-19)
+
+* Added Artec Ultima 2000 e+, Nortek Myscan 1200, NeatReceipts Scanalizer
+  Professional, Genius Colorpage Slim-1200.
+* Name and email address changes.
+
+V 1.0.83 (2007-01-28)
+
+* Added .conf entry for Plustek OpticPro S12 and S24. Updated .desc file.
+
+V 1.0.82 (2006-10-03)
+
+* Added support for Genius Colorpage SF600.
+
+V 1.0.81 (2006-05-21)
+
+* Added support for Plustek OpticPro S24 (some models). Added .conf entry for
+  Plustek OpticPro S12. 
+
+V 1.0.80 (2006-01-02)
+
+* Added Plustek OpticPro S(T)12 (product id 0x040b). Mostly untested.
+* Print warmup message 5 seconds after starting the warm-up.
+
+V 1.0.79 (2005-12-09) sane-backends 1.0.17
+
+* Silenced warning when scan is cancelled.
+* Silenced often non-fatal check_result error messages.
+* Reduced timeout for cancelling a scan. Some scanners freeze for 30 seconds
+  otherwise. Repeat is_moving test even if an error was received.
+* Run fix_descriptors before cancelling the scan. Without that, some gt6816
+  scanners are not detected anymore after closing the device.
+* Fixed wait_lamp_stable. Wait for a maximum time of 60 seconds. Print
+  warming up message after 5 seconds. Print how long warming up took.
+* For Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB, use more intelligent warm-up mechanism. The 
+  brightness for this scanner first decreases and then increases again. With the
+  previous logic the scanner always warmed up for at least 10 seconds even if it
+  wasn't necessary.
+* Warm up lamp also when changing from flatbed to transparency. Without this the
+  lamp may be too dark directly after changing the source.
+* Decreased scan width of Plustek OpticPro 1248U. This fixes some strange color
+  artifacts and results in less backtracking in some modes.
+
+V 1.0.78 (2005-10-16)
+
+* Minor modifications to sheet-fed scanner support.
+
+V 1.0.77 (2005-09-29)
+
+* Added support for Plustek OpticSlim M12 (untested). Based on patch from
+  Gerhard Jaeger <gerhard@gjaeger.de>. 
+* Fixed gt68xx homepage links in man page. Changed minimum version of libusb
+  to 0.1.8.
+
+V 1.0.76 (2005-09-18)
+
+* Fixed segfault that may happen with Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB.
+
+V 1.0.75 (2005-09-01)
+
+* Genius ColorPage Vivid 1200 X is reported to work.
+* Genius ColorPage Vivid 4 XE seems to be the same as 4 X, it just doesn't have
+  buttons.
+* Cleanup of .desc file.
+* Fixed gain setting.
+* Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB 600 dpi color scanning works now.
+
+V 1.0.74 (2005-08-20)
+
+* Increased number limit of scanners that can work with this backend to 50.
+* Added support for Genius ColorPage Vivid 1200 X (untested).
+
+V 1.0.73 (2005-08-19)
+
+* Enabled GT68XX_FLAG_NO_STOP for Mustek BearPaw 2400 CU Plus. Some of these
+  scanners don't seem to like that command.
+
+V 1.0.72 (2005-08-18)
+
+* Finally fixed the problem concerning scanning on *BSD. Scanning only worked
+  once. After that, the scanner wasn't even detected anymore beacuse the config
+  descriptor returned by the device was corrupted. This is a hardware bug. When
+  filling the internal memory of the scanner completely, the config descriptor
+  is overwritten. The work-around is to ask the scanner for the device
+  descriptor before closing the device. This rewrites also the config descriptor
+  to the memory of the scanner.
+* Fixed compilation warnings.
+
+V 1.0.71 (2005-07-10) Included in sane-backends 1.0.16
+
+* Changed resolution from 75 to 100 dpi and changed 16 bit/color to 12 based on
+  a user report for the Visioneer OneTouch 7300. Updated .desc.
+* Moved check for stable lamp to its own function.
+* Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB: Use CIS calibration. Use lamp warmup.
+* Fixed CCD on GT6801 scanning (color scanning was broken due to a change in
+  motormode_2.
+
+V 1.0.70 (2005-05-29)
+
+* Start exposure with the settings from the scanner entry.
+* CIS Calibration and exposure uses a broader spectrum now.
+* Expsoure limit is increased to 50 loops.
+* Genius Vivid 4x is reported to work so the UNTESTED label is removed now.
+* Visioneer 7300 is reported to work so the UNTESTED label is removed now.
+* Genius ColorPage Vivid 1200XE: Removed UNTESTED label. Fixed
+  resolutions. Adjusted margins. Fixed color order. Fixed linedistance.
+  Adjusted AFE.
+* Mustek ScanExpress 1248 UB: Fixed margins. Adjusted AFE. Adjusted
+  exposure. Adjusted gamma. Changed status to "complete".
+* Mustek BearPaw 2400 CU Plus: Adsusted exposure and AFE parameters. Hopefully
+  stripes and similar trouble are gone now.
+* Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU: Increased exposure to avoid vertical lines.
+* Updated manual page.
+
+V 1.0.69 (2005-05-20)
+
+* Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU Plus model 0x21b works now. Fixed firmware and offset
+  settings. Calibration is not completely ok yet, however.
+* Code cleanup for setup_scan (only one function for all chipsets).
+* Simplified line mode/pixel mode setting
+* Updated TODO.
+* Mustek BearPaw 2448 TA Plus is now only "basic". Too much trouble for
+  "good".
+* Removed option "fast preview". By default for preview mode 8 bits/pixel
+  are used.
+* Fixed indentation.
+* Full scan really scans from y=0 on gt6816 scanners now.
+
+V 1.0.68 (2005-05-07)
+
+* GT68XX_FLAG_NO_STOP is needed for BearPaw 2448 TA Plus.
+* Plustek OpticSlim 2400: Fixed list of resolutions. That fixed the
+  preview. Removed "untested" warning. Adjusted scan area.
+* Updated gt68xx.TODO.
+* Find firmwares independent of capitalization (bug #301580).
+
+V 1.0.67 (2004-11-14)
+
+* Fixed test to move home sensor at the start of scan.
+* Fixed gray mode linemode test. That stopped e.g. the Plustek OpticPro U 16 B
+  from working in gray mode.
+
+V 1.0.66 (2004-10-31)
+
+* Removed unused gain and offset options.
+
+V 1.0.65 (2004-10-11)
+
+* Used new lamp option from saneopts.h.

+
+* Fixed firmware name for Mustek 1248 UB. Changed status to basic. Removed
+  "unsupported" warning.
+* Added workaround for shared memory compilation problem on Windows.
+* It's now possible to add a new vendor/product id line to gt68xx.conf to test
+  yet unsupported scanners without changing the source code.
+
+V 1.0.62 (2004-08-08)
+
+* Added detection for Mustek ScanExpress 1248 UB. It's untested however and I
+  don't even know the name of the firmware.
+* Added new id for Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU Plus (0x021b). It's completely untested.
+
+V 1.0-61 (2004-06-18)
+
+* General:
+  * Re-enabled forked reader process when fork is not disabled. That's faster
+    with high resolutions and big scan widths.
+  * In gray and lineart mode the color to be used can be selected now.
+  * Resolution and depth lists are now in the "correct" order.
+  * Fixed "move to the end" bug when full scan is enabled.
+  * Used SANE_VALUE_SCAN_MODE_* macros.
+  * Added debugging code for brightness/calibration.
+  * Changed status of Genius Colorpage Vivid4x too good.
+  * Removed special command set for U16B (and Genesys Vivid4) as those scanners
+    are quite normal GT6816 devices.
+  * Removed special test for gt6816, 600 dpi, 16 bits -> linemode. The other
+    tests should change the settings to linemode if necessary.
+  * Added flag to indicate that a scanner doesn't support linemode. Print an error
+    if linemode is activated for that sort of scanners.
+  * Adjusted various debug levels.
+  * Added options to force backtracking and to set the number of lines to
+    backtrack.
+  * Increased default lamp-warmup time to 60 seconds. Also lamp-warmup doesn't
+    stop if lamp brightness is 0.
+  * reader_process returns an error now if read fails.
+  * Added gt68xx.TODO.
+  * Removed XDBG macros. Used DBG instead.
+  * Checks for correct gain and offset are in gt68xx_generic now.
+  * Fixed gain setting (including multiplier).
+  * Check for status of read_scanned_data every 10 ms. Avoids short stops before
+    scan data comes in.
+  * Added resolution limit for using backtracking.
+  * Reduced deafult CCD backtracking to 0x10 lines.
+* CCD coarse calibration:
+  * Check if calib has succeeded per color now (fewer loops).
+  * Added loop detection now.
+  * Use the brightest CCD element as max_white now.
+  * Added debugging DEFINE to check the position of the black mark.
+  * Print which color is currently calibrated.
+  * Changed debug messages.
+* CIS coarse calibration:
+  * Removed offset multiplier.
+  * Changed limits.
+  * Changed debug messages.
+  * Incresed exposure count.
+  * Removed special lamp-warmup in CIS calibration.
+  * CIS coarse calibration now does gain and offset at the same time
+    similar to CCD calibration. This change should avoid loops.
+  * Print which color is currently calibrated.
+* Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB:
+  * Fixed black mark.
+  * Use CCD calib now.
+  * Use inverted offset.
+  * Warm up for 10 seconds minimum.
+  * Fixes for geometry.
+* Plustek OpticPro U16B (and Genius Vivid 4):
+  * Linemode is not supported
+  * Reduced vertical res to 600 dpi.
+* Mustek BearPaw 1200 TA:
+  * Fixed position of black mark.
+* Mustek BearPaw 2448 TA Plus:
+  * Fixed position of black mark.
+* Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU:
+  * Increased start of white strip.
+

+* Status of BearPaw 2448 TA/CS Plus is "basic" now.
+
+V 1.0-58 (2004-04-04)

+  system on some UHCI chips.
+
+V 1.0-46 (2003-04-27)
+
+- Added Genius 3x as working scanner, removed testing flag.
+- Added Artec 2000 e+ to manpage.

+
+V 1.0-44 (2003-03-13)
+
+- Added Packard Bell Diamond 1200 Plus to .desc and manpage.
+- New flag to avoid running stop_scan before doing a scan. The Windows firmware
+  of the BearPaw 1200 CU Plus doesn't seem to like that.
+
+V 1.0-43 (2003-03-06)
+
+- Small requests are done with a response buffer of 8 bytes (instead of 64)
+  now. Looks like GT-6816 based scanners return 8 bytes if the firmware is
+  loaded and 64 bytes if it's not loaded.
+- Changed GT-6816 firmware check to ignore errors from above change. 
+  GT-6816 scanners work with the BSDs now (at least once).
+- Updated manpage concerning the BSDs.

+
+
+V 1.0-38 (2003-02-05)
+
+- Fixed resolutions for BearPaw 1200 TA (75 instead of 100).
+- Increase the lowest black for CCD coarse calibration to avoid too much black.
+- Adjusted internal gamma correction to avoid getting 0 for high gamma values.
+- CCD scanners use color mode for coarse+quality cal now. This fixes the
+  problem with extremly high gains and terrible quality cal in gray mode at
+  least for the BearPaw 1200 TA.
+--> Thanks to Alexei V. Mezin for reporting these bugs.
+- Preview isn't always in 8 bit mode now (can be selected by option).
+- Upper and lower limits for coarse calibration are unified now.

+
+V 1.0-37 (2003-01-18)

+
+V 1.0-32 (2002-12-08)
+
+- "Coarse calibration for first scan only" is off by default now. As at least
+  CIS calibration is faster now, it doesn't seem to be necessary and produces
+  wrong images sometimes.
+- Added gamma table.
+- Setup gamma to 2.0 by default.
+- Fixed (hopefully) sigpipe when cancelling.
+- No geometry quantization anymore (not necessary). That should fix scanimage
+  warnings.

+
+V 1.0-30 (2002-11-13)
+
+- Added basic support for Plustek OpticPro 1248U (from Gerhard Jaeger

+
+V 1.0-28 (2002-10-31)
+
+- Reduce scan width of 2400 TA Plus: otherwise the black mark would create
+  light vertical stripes.
+- Removed default parameters. Set AFE and exposure in every model struct.
+- Faster automatic gain setting for the CIS scanners. The default values from
+  the model struct and the last values are used for calculation.
+- Set default AFE values for ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus, BearPaw 1200 CU, BearPaw
+  2400 CU Plus.
+
+V 1.0-27 (2002-10-25)
+
+- Bugfix: override applies to all devices found by the last usb line.
+- Individual resolutions + depth values for every scanner.
+- Bugfix: Mirroring code had an off-by-one error (garbage in the first column).
+- Artec Ultima 2000, MD 9385: Removed 1200 dpi mode (doesn't seem to work?),
+  added 100 and 200 dpi modes. Renamed model to Artec Ultima 2000, because
+  that's probably the "father" of all the clones.
+- Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU: Added 200 dpi mode.
+- Added manual page.
+- Removed override for Packard Bell (seems to be exact Bearpaw 1200 CU Plus
+  clone).
+- Removed override for Trust Copmact Scan and Medion/Tevion/Lifetec LT 9452
+  (Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus clones).
+- Removed override for Tevion MD 9458 (seems to be an Artec Ultima 2000 (e +?)
+  clone). 
+  
+V 1.0-26 (2002-10-22)
+
+- Several fixes for Medion MD-9385 and Artec Ultima 2000 based scanners. The

+
+General:
+--------
+
+- some sort of fixed lookup-table may be necessary to compensate for the
+  non-linear CCD/CIS behaviour. A gamma value is not good enough. Or maybe line
+  calibration can be used for that?
+- Some Plustek scanners are advertised with e.g. 1200x2400 but the maximum
+  vertical resolution seems to be limited to the horizontal one. Check if
+  that's really the case.
+- Keep a log of all gain/offset combinations already tested and break if
+  one is repeated to avoid endless loops.
+- Print commands that are send to the scanner in clear text.
+- Try to implement non-blocking USB bulk reads, check libusb CVS.
+
+CCD:
+----
+
+Mustek BearPaw 2400 TA Plus:
+- some lines at the beginning of each image have wrong colors (linedistance?)
+  This seems to happen with other scanners, too.
+- 600 dpi no backtrack, 1200, 2400 dpi backtrack (gray), check with windows for
+  color
+- 600 dpi 12 bit seems to work in pixel mode only (but long lines are too big!)
+
+Mustek BearPaw 1200 TA:
+- similar color problem as 2400 TA Plus, doesn't always happen?
+
+Mustek BearPaw 2448 TA Plus:
+- all modes are slow (massive backtracking). If connected to a USB2 port, the
+  backtracking ich much less despite this scanner can't do USB2. Strange.
+- Sometimes there is a USB protocol error when cancelling the scan?
+- top borders move with resolution (happened in the early days with 2400 TA!)
+- gray scans have different brightness
+- scan motor is bumpy and freezes sometimes, looks like accelaration is too big
+  (firmware problem?)
+- vertical stripes
+- TA settings are wrong
+- no backtrack >= 600 dpi (also gray!)
+- don't move before and after scan
+- check jpeg output, maybe this can be used for faster scans
+
+Plustek 1248U:
+- Linedistance seems to have problems in the first few and the last lines.
+- Gain and offset values are quite high. Optimum values are not reached. Problem
+  with coarse calib? Better algorithm needed.
+- Images in color mode sometimes look too redish (result of above problem).
+- quite slow when full width is selected. Lots of backtracking.
+- Check if pixel mode is possible.
+- Check again 600x1200 dpi.
+
+Plustek U16B:
+- 600 dpi 16 bit is limited to about half the size of the scan area because
+  only pixel mode works and 16k is the maximum buffer size.
+- After scanning, a run of sane-find-scanner leads to a protocol error and
+  scanning does no longer work.
+
+Genius ColorPage Vivid 1200XE
+- 16 bit per color is advertized but this mode doesn't seem to work
+  (only 12 bit)?
+- 1200x1200 and 1200x2400 dpi doesn't seem to work despite being advertized
+- Y-positioning varies slightly with resolution (some mm)
+
+CIS:
+----
+
+- It may be necessary to do an additional exposure calibration before the
+  offset/gain calibration to compensate for different intensities of the
+  colored leds. Especially for the Mustek 2400 CU Plus.
+- Changing exposure doesn't seem to have any effect during calibration
+  sometimes while it has an effect on the final image?
+
+Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU
+- ok
+
+Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU Plus (0x021b)
+- ok, but similar exposure problems as 2400 CU Plus
+
+Mustek BearPaw 2400 CU Plus
+- ok, but exposure setting may need to be done automatically if the intensity
+  of the colors varies for different scanners.
+- calibration/exposure has sometimes sharp jumps in intensity. Reason is
+  unknown.
+
+Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB
+- still slight vert. stripes
+- why is line distance setup necessary?
+- line distance varies with resolution (0,5,5 at 300 dpi, 0, 6, 7 with 150 dpi)
+- exposure doesn't seem to have any effect
+
+Mustek ScanExpress 1248 UB
+ok
+
+Plustek OpticSlim 2400
+- only upto 1200 dpi vertical works
+- only 8 and 12 bit work, 16 doesn't (check Windows)

+% LaTeX2HTML Version 95.1 : html.sty
+%
+% This file contains definitions of LaTeX commands which are
+% processed in a special way by the translator. 
+% For example, there are commands for embedding external hypertext links,
+% for cross-references between documents or for including
+% raw HTML.
+% This file includes the comments.sty file v2.0 by Victor Eijkhout
+% In most cases these commands do nothing when processed by LaTeX.
+
+% Modifications:
+%
+%  nd = Nikos Drakos <nikos@cbl.leeds.ac.uk>
+%  jz = Jelle van Zeijl <jvzeijl@isou17.estec.esa.nl>
+
+% jz 22-APR-94 - Added support for htmlref
+% nd  - Created
+
+
+
+% Exit if the style file is already loaded
+% (suggested by Lee Shombert <las@potomac.wash.inmet.com>
+\ifx \htmlstyloaded\relax \endinput\else\let\htmlstyloaded\relax\fi
+
+%%% LINKS TO EXTERNAL DOCUMENTS
+%
+% This can be used to provide links to arbitrary documents.
+% The first argumment should be the text that is going to be
+% highlighted and the second argument a URL.
+% The hyperlink will appear as a hyperlink in the HTML 
+% document and as a footnote in the dvi or ps files.
+%
+\newcommand{\htmladdnormallinkfoot}[2]{#1\footnote{#2}} 
+
+% This is an alternative definition of the command above which
+% will ignore the URL in the dvi or ps files.
+\newcommand{\htmladdnormallink}[2]{#1}
+
+% This command takes as argument a URL pointing to an image.
+% The image will be embedded in the HTML document but will
+% be ignored in the dvi and ps files.
+%
+\newcommand{\htmladdimg}[1]{}
+
+%%% CROSS-REFERENCES BETWEEN (LOCAL OR REMOTE) DOCUMENTS
+%
+% This can be used to refer to symbolic labels in other Latex 
+% documents that have already been processed by the translator.
+% The arguments should be:
+% #1 : the URL to the directory containing the external document
+% #2 : the path to the labels.pl file of the external document.
+% If the external document lives on a remote machine then labels.pl 
+% must be copied on the local machine.
+%
+%e.g. \externallabels{http://cbl.leeds.ac.uk/nikos/WWW/doc/tex2html/latex2html}
+%                    {/usr/cblelca/nikos/tmp/labels.pl}
+% The arguments are ignored in the dvi and ps files.
+%
+\newcommand{\externallabels}[2]{}
+
+% This complements the \externallabels command above. The argument
+% should be a label defined in another latex document and will be
+% ignored in the dvi and ps files.
+%
+\newcommand{\externalref}[1]{}

+% Comment.sty   version 2.0, 19 June 1992
+% selectively in/exclude pieces of text: the user can define new
+% comment versions, and each is controlled separately.
+% This style can be used with plain TeX or LaTeX, and probably
+% most other packages too.
+%
+% Examples of use in LaTeX and TeX follow \endinput

+%    Knoxville, TN 37996
+%    USA
+%
+%    eijkhout@cs.utk.edu
+%
+% Usage: all text included in between
+%    \comment ... \endcomment
+% or \begin{comment} ... \end{comment}
+% is discarded. The closing command should appear on a line
+% of its own. No starting spaces, nothing after it.
+% This environment should work with arbitrary amounts
+% of comment.
+%
+% Other 'comment' environments are defined by
+% and are selected/deselected with
+% \includecomment{versiona}
+% \excludecoment{versionb}
+%
+% These environments are used as
+% \versiona ... \endversiona
+% or \begin{versiona} ... \end{versiona}
+% with the closing command again on a line of its own.
+%
+% Basic approach:
+% to comment something out, scoop up  every line in verbatim mode
+% as macro argument, then throw it away.
+% For inclusions, both the opening and closing comands
+% are defined as noop
+%
+% Changed \next to \html@next to prevent clashes with other sty files
+% (mike@emn.fr)
+% Changed \html@next to \htmlnext so the \makeatletter and
+% \makeatother commands could be removed (they were causing other
+% style files - changebar.sty - to crash) (nikos@cbl.leeds.ac.uk)
+% Changed \htmlnext back to \html@next...

+% 
+% Enclose raw HTML between a \begin{rawhtml} and \end{rawhtml}.

+%
+\excludecomment{rawhtml}

+\newcommand{\html}[1]{}
+

+%%% LaTeX ONLY
+% Enclose LaTeX constructs which will only appear in the 
+% DVI output and will be ignored by latex2html with 
+%\begin{latexonly} and \end{latexonly}
+%
+\newenvironment{latexonly}{}{}
+% Shorter version
+\newcommand{\latex}[1]{#1}
+
+%%% HYPERREF 
+% Suggested by Eric M. Carol <eric@ca.utoronto.utcc.enfm>
+% Similar to \ref but accepts conditional text. 
+% The first argument is HTML text which will become ``hyperized''
+% (underlined).
+% The second and third arguments are text which will appear only in the paper
+% version (DVI file), enclosing the fourth argument which is a reference to a label.
+%
+%e.g. \hyperref{using the tracer}{using the tracer (see Section}{)}{trace}
+% where there is a corresponding \label{trace}
+%
+\newcommand{\hyperref}[4]{#2\ref{#4}#3}
+
+%%% HTMLREF
+% Reference in HTML version only.
+% Mix between \htmladdnormallink and \hyperref.
+% First arg is text for in both versions, second is label for use in HTML
+% version.
+\newcommand{\htmlref}[2]{#1}
+
+%%% HTMLIMAGE
+% This command can be used inside any environment that is converted
+% into an inlined image (eg a "figure" environment) in order to change
+% the way the image will be translated. The argument of \htmlimage
+% is really a string of options separated by commas ie 
+% [scale=<scale factor>],[external],[thumbnail=<reduction factor>
+% The scale option allows control over the size of the final image.
+% The ``external'' option will cause the image not to be inlined 
+% (images are inlined by default). External images will be accessible
+% via a hypertext link. 
+% The ``thumbnail'' option will cause a small inlined image to be 
+% placed in the caption. The size of the thumbnail depends on the
+% reduction factor. The use of the ``thumbnail'' option implies
+% the ``external'' option.
+%
+% Example:
+% \htmlimage{scale=1.5,external,thumbnail=0.2}
+% will cause a small thumbnail image 1/5th of the original size to be
+% placed in the final document, pointing to an external image 1.5
+% times bigger than the original.
+% 
+\newcommand{\htmlimage}[1]{}
+
+%%% HTMLADDTONAVIGATION
+% This command appends its argument to the buttons in the navigation
+% panel. It is ignored by LaTeX.
+%
+% Example:
+% \htmladdtonavigation{\htmladdnormallink
+%              {\htmladdimg{http://server/path/to/gif}}
+%              {http://server/path}}
+\newcommand{\htmladdtonavigation}[1]{}
+
+% typeset a url:
+\newcommand{\url}[1]{\texttt{#1}}

+
+2001-08-08

+
+2001-04-08
+  * Backend status is "stable" now. Hopefully this doesn't mean that new
+    bugs show up now :-)
+
+2001-04-01
+  * Added detection of the Pro models TA (at least the 1200SP Pro).
+  * Added warning about real (not relabeled) Trust scanners.
+
+2001-03-31
+  * Removed comment about brightness and contrast in the description strings
+    because you can't read them anyway in color mode (at least with xsane).
+
+2001-03-31
+  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-105
+
+2001-03-31
+  * Removed compilation warning in gamma_correction.
+  * Fixed handling of tlx and brx when scanning with ADF (bug found by
+    Andreas Rathgeber <rathgeber2000@yahoo.de>).
+  * Fixed bug in linedistance correction (ld_block) concerning ADF. With ADF
+    the linedistance values are ordered in the other direction.
+  * Fixed bug concerning ld correction for the 1200SP 1.00 (frontend hangs).
+    Moved the do-nothing ld correction to its own function. With ADF this
+    scanner doesn't really work in color mode but that's probably a firmware
+    problem.
+
+2001-03-18
+  * 600 II N: Gamma correction in gray mode now works. Length must be 768
+    bytes in gray mode also, cdb size is 6 bytes. Thanks to Jakub Bogusz
+    <qboosh@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl> who found out about that and wrote a
+    patch.
+
+2001-01-17
+  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-104
+
+2001-01-17
+  * Pro: Do calibration only in Lineart, Gray and Color 24 modes.
+
+2001-01-03
+  * Added 36 bit color mode for the Paragon Pro scanners.
+
+2000-12-31
+  * Added function little_endian (from coolscan.c) to check the endianess of
+    the current architecture (needed for 16 bit frames).
+  * Added option for Gray fast
+  * Added option for bit depth (8 and 12 bits for the Pro models)
+  * Removed "special" modes from mode option
+  * Removed 48 bit options for the SE Plus. This mode seems to use only
+    interpolated information (but I may be wrong).
+
+2000-12-31
+  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-103
+  
+2000-12-30
+  * Implemented calibration (color and gray mode) for the Paragon 1200 Pro.
+    It's not perfect and needs lots of tests. It may work for the Paragon
+    A3 also but is not tested.
+  * SE 12000 SP Plus calibration is now better but not yet perfect.
+
+2000-12-27
+  * Enabled fast_preview for the Pro scanners (30 dpi).
+  * Increased scan width to 8.6" for 1200 Pro.
+
+2000-12-26
+  * Added calibration for the SE 12000 SP Plus. Doesn't fully work until now 
+    (images are too dark and colored).
+
+2000-12-23
+  * Added option for Legal format (because the ScanExpress 12000 SP A4 size
+    scanner can't be distinguished from the Paragon 1200 LS Legal size scanner
+    by software).
+  
+2000-12-21
+  * Added a few checks for Null-Pointers.
+  * Removed old code for SE calibration.
+  * Added option "quality calibration" for SE Plus scanners
+
+2000-12-21
+  * sane-backends 1.0.4 was released (including Mustek backend 1.0.102).
+
+2000-12-10
+  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-102
+  
+2000-12-09
+  * Fixed wrong comment in encode_resolution
+  * Added missing test for return status in sane_start
+  * Fixed wrong calculation of tlx and tly for Pro series scanners
+
+2000-12-05
+  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-101
+ 
+2000-12-05
+  * Fixed lamp setting (avoid problems with some SE scanners).
+
+2000-12-01
+  * Reduced scan area for Paragon 1200 SP PRO (to avoid bumping the scan slider
+    at the end).
+  * Removed warning for 1200 SP PRO.
+
+2000-11-26
+  * Released Mustek backend 1.0-100
+
+2000-11-26
+  * Default for "fast preview" is "false" now because this option doesn't work
+    for all SE scanners correctly.
+  * Added more debug output for area_and_windows.
+  * Added more debug output for set_window.
+  * Set minimum tly for 8000SP to 0.
+  * Don't use block mode for Paragon 8000 SP scanners because this breaks
+    color mode with firmware 2.x.
+
+2000-11-19
+  * Paragon 6000 SP doesn't use block mode any more. It's a bit faster now.
+  * Updated sane-mustek.man concerning buffersize and blocksite.
+
+2000-11-17
+  * Updated manpage concerning force-wait. Some minor corrections and additions
+  * Added option force-wait to mustek.conf and did some minor changes.
+
+2000-11-16
+  * With option force_wait set, the backend waits also before sending the
+    inquiry command. This seems to be necessary for the 600 II N.
+
+2000-11-12
+  * Use SANE_Int, SANE_Bool, SANE_Word for int wherever this seems to
+    be appropriate.
+  * Move macros to mustek.h.
+  * Code cleanup.
+
+2000-11-11
+  * OPT_GRAY_PREVIEW is now called OPT_FAST_PREVIEW.
+  * For SE scanners use 36/38 dpi color for fast preview.
+  * use include "../include/sane/" instead of "sane/"
+  * go back to old scheme for SE scanners in color mode (faster scans
+    couldn't be reproduced)
+
+2000-11-10
+  * added more debug output in constrain_value
+
+2000-11-05
+  * Released backend version 1.0-99.
+
+2000-11-05
+  * Added support for TAIV for SE 12000 SP. Lamp is turned off while
+    scanning (seems to work for firmware >= 2.00)
+  * Adjusted transparency adapter support for all ScanExpress scanners.
+    The 12000 A3 SP can only do A4 beacuse I don't have the right TA.
+  * don't use u_int* types in mustek.h because the definitions for these 
+    types are not included
+
+2000-11-04
+  * SE scanners can now scan 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600,
+    900 and 1200 dpi in color mode (the 1200 dpi models). These are fixed 
+    resolutions, a resolution >= the wanted resolution is selected. This
+    makes preview and some resolutions faster than before (at least for
+    some scanners), because lower resolutions can be used.
+  * Minimum scan resolution is 60 dpi in gray and lineart and 75 dpi in 
+    color mode for the SE scanners now.
+  
+2000-10-29
+  * Fixed a bug concerning block LD. Paragon 1 and 2 were exchanged.
+  * Paragon 12000SP color mode works now without garbage at the end
+  * Fixed Paragon 1200 SP Pro color mode > 600 dpi (rounding problem)
+  * Temporarily disabled 48 bit color mode for release
+
+2000-10-25
+  * Detect support for TA IV (transparency adapter for ScanExpress scanners)
+  * TA IV supported now; lamp is turned off at least for SE 1200 SP Plus
+    scanners
+  * Adjusted scan area for TA: SE 12000SP Plus
+  * Simplify enlarge x
+  * Set tl-y to 0 for all ScanExpress scanners
+  * First attempt to support 48 bits color mode (SE 12000 SP Plus)
+
+2000-10-22
+  * Detect SE 12000 SP Plus properly
+  * Cover sensor only checked for SE models that support this feature
+
+2000-10-21
+  * Removed MAX_BLOCKSIZE macro (not used anymore).
+
+2000-10-03
+  * Released backend version 1.0-98.
+  
+2000-10-03

+
+2000-10-02
+  * Zero out inquiry memory block before reading inquiry.
+
+2000-10-01

+  * Released backend version 1.0-97.
+  
+2000-09-24
+  * Added RGB brightness and contrast for 3pass scanners
+  * Brightness and contrast is +-100% for 3pass scanners now
+
+2000-09-23
+  * Paragon 12000CX uses pixel unit now.

+  * Paragon 12000SP 1.06 uses LD_NORMAL now.
+
+2000-09-19
+  * Return sane_status_cancelled in sane_read if last scan was cancelled.
+
+2000-09-18
+  * Changed speed_code to use values between 1...5 for 3pass scanners.
+    I don't know yet if these are correct for the other scanners, too.
+  * Don't do a stop scan for 3pass scanners (only when cancelling).
+  * Set bit 0 of first byte of area_and_windows for gray + color.
+  * Paragon 6000CX uses pixel unit now (MFS-06000CX).
+  * Pixel unit for 3pass scanners is now supported
+
+2000-09-17
+  * changed maximum y range of MFS-800 II SP to 288 mm because of
+    a report of scanner touching the end.
+
+2000-09-10
+  * added some testing (result != null and arg !=0) in sense_handler
+    (found by Martin Blasczyk)
+
+2000-08-20
+  * Paragon series II is also using blockmode now.
+  * Removed warning from mustek.c.
+  * Fixed (maybe) problem in scsi_sense_wait_ready and added more
+    debug output.
+
+2000-08-18
+  * added new option blocksize to mustek.conf
+  * 800 II SP works now in new block mode (get_image_status is needed
+    before each block)
+
+2000-08-17
+  * Removed some warnings from sanei_ab306.c.
+
+2000-08-16
+  * Fixed some bugs in fix_linedistance_block. Paragon 600 models seem to
+    work now. 800 II SP freezes, however.
+  * Fixed segmentation fault for the 600 II N in ld correction code.
+
+2000-08-15
+  * Changed handling of three pass scanners (MUSTEK_FLAG_THREE_PASS instead of
+    !MUSTEK_FLAG_SINGLE_PASS).
+  * Added flags for Paragon series I and II (MUSTEK_PLAG_PARAGON_1 and
+    MUSTEK_PLAG_PARAGON_2).
+  * Distinguish between three-pass, Paragon series 1, Paragon series 2,
+    ScanExpress, Pro and N type scanners.
+  * Added support for scanning the whole image in one block without
+    backtracking for the Paragon series II scanners.
+  * Added fix_linedistance_block: like linedistance_normal but broken
+    up into several SCSI buffers.
+
+2000-08-14
+  * Changed again linedistance correction for the Paragon 12000 SP 1.11.
+    This seems to be a never ending story.
+  * Set the minimum dpi value to 30. Some scanners (e.g. the MFS 8000SP
+    v 2.04) block the SCSI bus with lower resolutions.
+
+2000-08-12
+  * Added support for Paragon 1200 SP Pro.
+  * Added support for ScanExpress A3 SP.
+  * Removed detection for " C12" and " C04" (don't seem to exist).
+  * Changed SCSI read request scheme. Now two requests with half of the
+    maximum SCSI buffer size are entered. Standard buffer size is 128 kB,
+    so the buffer sent to the scanner is 64 kB for all types of scanners.
+  * sane_read now reads more than 4096 bytes from pipe (if available).
+
+2000-08-12
+  * SANE 1.0.3 released (including Mustek backend 1.0.96).
+
+2000-07-31
+  * Released backend version 1.0-96.
+
+2000-07-30
+  * Fixed bug concerning inquiry of 3-pass scanners. ASCII values > 127
+    weren't interpreted correctly (char instead of unsigned char).
+
+2000-07-30
+  * Released backend version 1.0-95
+
+2000-07-30
+  * Removed while {wait ()} loop. Used waitpid() instead. Maybe this cures
+    some reported freezes. It's cleaner anyway.
+  * Removed dead code.
+
+2000-07-28
+  * Released backend version 1.0-94
+
+2000-07-29
+  * Use #include "sane/..." instead of #include <sane/...>.
+
+2000-07-27
+  * Released backend version 1.0-93
+
+2000-07-27
+  * removed warnings
+
+2000-07-26
+  * fixed possible segfault pointer info was not checked for 0 (found by
+    Petter Reinholdtsen)
+  * Updated comment about Paragon 600 II N linedistance correction in man 
+    page
+
+2000-07-25
+  * Fixed color scanning for Paragon 600 II N firmware < 2.00.
+
+2000-07-25
+  * Released backend version 1.0-92
+  
+2000-07-24
+  * Fixed ADF handling (output was mirrored in x direction). Gray and lineart
+    seems to work now. Color and halftone modes look somewhat crazy.
+  * Removed comment about lack of testing of ADFs in manpage. They are
+    tested to work now with most scanner at least basically.
+  * removed braindead test for Pro series concerning gamma table length
+    (discovered by Jan-Erik Karlsson).
+
+2000-07-22
+  * Fixed margin positions of MFS 6000CX and removed warning.
+  * Warning is printed with DBG level 0 again.
+
+2000-07-18
+  * Released backend version 1.0-91
+
+2000-07-18
+  * Removed again MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_NONE for MFS-08000SP. Maybe the automatical
+    detection works now.
+
+2000-07-15
+  * Released backend version 1.0-90
+
+2000-07-15
+  * Added MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_NONE for MFS-08000SP and removed warning for
+    this scanner. Added TA support. First report for this device from
+    Roland Koebler.
+  * Changed LD correction system. Some scanners (e.g. the 800 II SP)
+    seem to need different LD correction depending on resolution.
+    Now with LD_NORMAL max_value is checked and correction is only done
+    if it is != 0. Hope this works for all scanners.
+  * Moved the comment after the example port entry in mustek.conf to
+    the next line. Now this line should work.
+  * Updated manpage concerning PP scanners and 600 II N.
+
+2000-06-30
+  * Released backend version 1.0-89
+
+2000-06-30
+  * Fixed bug in do_stop. The scan slider didn't return after the scan 
+    in some situations.
+
+2000-06-28
+  * Released backend version 1.0-88
+
+2000-06-28
+  * Changed again linedistance handling for the Paragon 1200SP. This
+    time version 1.07 seems to need a special treetment. Even with normal
+    linedistance correction the image is corrupted at buffer boundaries
+    in color mode. Maybe a firmware bug? Thanks to Michael Prechtl for
+    all his tests.
+
+2000-06-25
+  * added missing newline to mustek.conf
+
+2000-06-25

+  * fixed gamma correction for 1200 A3 Pro. At the moment only 8 bit and
+    24 bit per pixel are supported (12/36 are possible in hardware)
+
+2000-06-16
+  * addded debugging output in sane_control_option
+  * added gamma correction for Paragon 1200 A3 Pro (doesn't work correctly yet)
+
+2000-06-15
+  * removed old config file reading system.
+
+2000-06-14
+  * Preliminary support for the Mustek Paragon 1200 A3 Pro. Only grayscale
+    mode works so far. Missing: Gamma correction and calibration. The scanner
+    is locked after each scan.
+
+2000-06-12
+  * Fixed bug in sane_control_option. option was not checked for negative
+    values. Thanks to Jochen Eisinger.
+  * Code cleanup and reorganization for inclusion of the Paragon 1200 A3 Pro.
+
+2000-06-07
+  * Fixed bug in sane_close where the chain of handles got destroyed by

+    Thanks to Jochen Eisinger for spotting this.
+
+2000-06-05
+  * Fixed some debug messages in fix_linedistance_se
+
+2000-06-04
+  * released backend version 1.0-85
+
+2000-06-04
+  * changed (again) Paragon 12000 SP linedistance handling, now 1.02 uses
+    normal LD corrections, all other use none. We'll see, if this works.

+  * simpler linedistance debug output, only for 1-pass Paragon scanners
+
+2000-06-02
+  * removed code in dev_read_start which was never called (suggestion
+    from Jan-Erik Karlsson)
+
+2000-05-21
+  * added double buffering (trying to copy the scsi buffer to the frontend
+    while getting a new one). This probably won't work on all
+    platforms and with all SCSI host adapters but in this case performance
+    shouldn't be worse than before.
+
+2000-05-21
+  * released backend version 1.0-83
+
+2000-05-21
+  * The Mustek Paragon 1200 A3 PRO is now detected. This is only a test

+  * removed "color lineart" and "color halftone" for all scanners.
+    These modes didn't work for any of my scanners.
+  * added more debug output for ADF and TA

+  
+2000-04-23
+  * fixed lineart and color scanning >600 dpi for the SE 12000SP
+  * added variable debug_level to be faster without debugging in attach ()
+  * fixed bug in mustek.conf handling; positional options were applied
+    to the first device only
+  * added an option to mustek.conf: "buffersize". This overwrites the
+    default scan buffer sizes. The unit is kilobytes.
+  * adjusted mustek.conf to more reasonable defaults
+  * update manpage and mustek.desc to reflect the changes
+
+2000-04-22

+
+2004-03-02
+  * Release of version 1.0-18.
+
+2004-03-02
+  * Added workaround for data0 toggle bug. I think this is a bug in the
+    chipset. The chipset doesn't set the toggle to data0 when the endpoints
+    are reset. As this is done whenever the device files/libusb is closed,
+    this backend worked ony once. Now we count the number of URBs and
+    just read/write some crap if the number is odd.

+\chapter{Network Protocol}\label{chap:net}
+
+The SANE interface has been designed to facilitate network access to
+image acquisition devices.  In particular, most SANE implementations
+are expected to support a network backend (net client) and a
+corresponding network daemon (net server) that allows accessing image
+acquisition devices through a network connection.  Network access is
+useful in several situations:
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item To provide controlled access to resources that are inaccessible
+  to a regular user.  For example, a user may want to access a device
+  on a host where she has no account on.  With the network protocol,
+  it is possible to allow certain users to access scanners without
+  giving them full access to the system.
+
+  Controlling access through the network daemon can be useful even in
+  the local case: for example, certain backends may require root
+  privileges to access a device.  Rather than installing each frontend
+  as setuid-root, a system administrator could instead install the
+  SANE network daemon as setuid-root.  This enables regular users to
+  access the privileged device through the SANE daemon (which,
+  presumably, supports a more fine-grained access control mechanism
+  than the simple setuid approach).  This has the added benefit that
+  the system administrator only needs to trust the SANE daemon, not
+  each and every frontend that may need access to the privileged
+  device.
+
+\item Network access provides a sense of ubiquity of the available
+  image acquisition devices.  For example, in a local area network
+  environment, this allows a user to log onto any machine and have
+  convenient access to any resource available to any machine on the
+  network (subject to permission constraints).
+
+\item For devices that do not require physical access when used (e.g.,
+  video cameras), network access allows a user to control and use
+  these devices without being in physical proximity.  Indeed, if such
+  devices are connected to the Internet, access from any place in the
+  world is possible.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+The network protocol described in this chapter has been design with
+the following goals in mind:
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Image transmission should be efficient (have low encoding
+  overhead).
+
+\item Accessing option descriptors on the client side must be
+  efficient (since this is a very common operation).
+
+\item Other operations, such as setting or inquiring the value of an
+  option are less performance critical since they typically require
+  explicit user action.
+
+\item The network protocol should be simple and easy to implement on
+  any host architecture and any programming language.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+The SANE protocol can be run across any transport protocol that
+provides reliable data delivery.  While SANE does not specify a
+specific transport protocol, it is expected that TCP/IP will be among
+the most commonly used protocols.
+
+\section{Data Type Encoding}
+
+\subsection{Primitive Data Types}
+
+The four primitive types of the SANE standard are encoded as follows:
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_Byte}}:] A byte is encoded as an 8 bit value.
+  Since the transport protocol is assumed to be byte-orientd, the bit
+  order is irrelevant.
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_Word}}:] A word is encoded as 4 bytes (32
+  bits).  The bytes are ordered from most-significant to
+  least-significant byte (big-endian byte-order).
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_Char}}:] A character is currently encoded as an 8-bit
+  ISO LATIN-1 value.  An extension to support wider character sets (16 or 32
+  bits) is planned for the future, but not supported at this point.
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_String}}:] A string pointer is encoded as a
+  \code{SANE\_Char} array.  The trailing NUL byte is considered part
+  of the array and a \code{NULL} pointer is encoded as a zero-length
+  array.
+  
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_Handle}}:] A handle is encoded like a word.
+  The network backend needs to take care of converting these integer
+  values to the opaque pointer values that are presented to the user
+  of the network backend.  Similarly, the SANE daemon needs to take
+  care of converting the opaque pointer values it receives from its
+  backends into 32-bit integers suitable for use for network encoding.
+
+\item[{\em\defn{enumeration types}}:] Enumeration types are encoded
+  like words.
+
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Type Constructors}
+
+Closely following the type constructors of the C language, the SANE network
+protocol supports the following four constructors:
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[{\em\defn{pointer}}:] A pointer is encoded by a word that indicates
+  whether the pointer is a NULL-pointer which is then followed by the
+  value that the pointer points to (in the case of a non-NULL pointer;
+  in the case of a NULL pointer, no bytes are encoded for the pointer
+  value).
+
+\item[{\em\defn{array}}:] An array is encoded by a word that indicates
+  the length of the array followed by the values of the elements in
+  the array.  The length may be zero in which case no bytes are
+  encoded for the element values.
+
+\item[{\em\defn{structure}}:] A structure is encoded by simply encoding the
+  structure members in the order in which they appear in the
+  corresponding C type declaration.
+
+\item[{\em\defn{union}}:] A union must always be accompanied by a tag
+  value that indicates which of the union members is the currently the
+  active one.  For this reason, the union itself is encoded simply by
+  encoding the value of the currently active member.
+
+\end{description}
+
+Note that for type constructors, the pointer, element, or member
+values themselves may have a constructed type.  Thus, the above rules
+should be applied recursively until a sequence of primitive types has
+been found.
+
+Also SANE had no need for encoding of circular structures.  This
+greatly simplifies the network protocol.
+
+\section{Remote Procedure Call Requests}
+
+The SANE network protocol is a client/server-style remote procedure
+call (RPC) protocol.  This means that all activity is initiated by the
+client side (the network backend)---a server is restricted to
+answering requests sent by the client.
+
+The data transferred from the client to the server is comprised of the RPC code
+(as a \code{SANE\_WORD}), followed by arguments defined in the {\bf request}
+column below.  The format of the server's answer is given in the {\bf reply}
+column.
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_INIT}}}
+
+RPC Code: 0
+
+This RPC establishes a connection to a particular SANE network daemon.
+It must be the first call in a SANE network session.  The parameter
+and reply arguments for this call are shown in the table below:
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word version\_code} & \code{SANE\_Word status} \\
+  \code{SANE\_String user\_name}   & \code{SANE\_Word version\_code} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{version\_code} argument in the request is the SANE
+version-code of the network backend that is contacting the network
+daemon (see Section~\ref{sec:saneversioncode}).  The
+``build-revision'' in the version code is used to hold the network
+protocol version.  The SANE network daemon receiving such a request
+must make sure that the network protocol version corresponds to a
+supported version since otherwise the encoding of the network stream
+may be incompatible (even though the SANE interface itself may be
+compatible).  The \code{user\_name} argument is the name of the user
+on whose behalf this call is being performed.  If the network backend
+cannot determine a user-name, it passes a \code{NULL} pointer for this
+argument.  No trust should be placed in the authenticity of this
+user-name.  The intent of this string is to provide more convenience
+to the user.  E.g., it could be used as the default-user name in
+subsequent authentication calls.
+
+In the reply, \code{status} indicates the completion status.  If the
+value is anything other than \code{SANE\_STA\-TUS\_GOOD}, the
+remainder of the reply has undefined values.\footnote{The sane network
+  daemon should be careful not to leak information in the undefined
+  portion of the reply.} The \code{version\_code} argument returns the
+SANE version-code that the network daemon supports.  See the comments
+in the previous paragraph on the meaning of the build-revision in this
+version code.
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_GET\_DEVICES}}}
+
+RPC Code: 1
+
+This RPC is used to obtain the list of devices accessible by the SANE
+daemon.
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{void} & \code{SANE\_Word status} \\
+              & \code{SANE\_Device ***device\_list} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+There are no arguments in the request for this call.
+
+In the reply, \code{status} indicates the completion status.  If the
+value is anything other than \code{SANE\_STA\-TUS\_GOOD}, the
+remainder of the reply has undefined values.  The \code{device\_list}
+argument is a pointer to a \code{NULL}-terminated array of
+\code{SANE\_Device} pointers.
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_OPEN}}}
+
+RPC Code: 2
+
+This RPC is used to open a connection to a remote SANE device.
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_String device\_name} & \code{SANE\_Word status} \\
+                                   & \code{SANE\_Word handle} \\
+                                   & \code{SANE\_String resource} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{device\_name} argument specifies the name of the device to
+open.
+
+In the reply, \code{status} indicates the completion status.  If the
+value is anything other than \code{SANE\_STA\-TUS\_GOOD}, the
+remainder of the reply has undefined values.  The \code{handle}
+argument specifies the device handle that uniquely identifies the
+connection.  The \code{resource} argument is used to request
+authentication.  If it has a non-\code{NULL} value, the network
+backend should authenticate the specified resource and then retry this
+operation (see Section~\ref{sec:authorization} for details on how to
+authorize a resource).
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_CLOSE}}}
+
+RPC Code: 3
+
+This RPC is used to close a connection to a remote SANE device.
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word handle} & \code{SANE\_Word dummy} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{handle} argument identifies the connection that should be
+closed.
+
+In the reply, the \code{dummy} argument is unused.  Its purpose is to
+ensure proper synchronization (without it, a net client would not be
+able to determine when the RPC has completed).
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_GET\_OPTION\_DESCRIPTORS}}}
+
+RPC Code: 4
+
+This RPC is used to obtain {\em all\/} the option descriptors for a
+remote SANE device.
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word handle} & \code{Option\_Descriptor\_Array odesc} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{handle} argument identifies the remote device whose option
+descriptors should be obtained.
+
+In the reply, the \code{odesc} argument is used to return the array of
+option descriptors.  The option descriptor array has the following
+structure:
+\begin{quote}\index{Option\_Descriptor\_Array}
+\begin{verbatim}
+struct Option_Descriptor_Array
+  {
+    SANE_Word num_options;
+    SANE_Option_Descriptor **desc;
+  };
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_CONTROL\_OPTION}}}
+
+RPC Code: 5
+
+This RPC is used to control (inquire, set, or set to automatic) a
+specific option of a remote SANE device.
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word handle}      & \code{SANE\_Status status} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word option}      & \code{SANE\_Word info} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word action}      & \code{SANE\_Word value\_type} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word value\_type} & \code{SANE\_Word value\_size} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word value\_size} & \code{void *value} \\
+  \code{void *value}            & \code{SANE\_String *resource} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{handle} argument identifies the remote device whose option
+should be controlled.  Argument \code{option} is the number (index) of
+the option that should be controlled.  Argument \code{action}
+specifies what action should be taken (get, set, or set automatic).
+Argument \code{value\_type} specifies the type of the option value
+(must be one of \code{SANE\_TYPE\_BOOL}, \code{SANE\_TYPE\_INT},
+\code{SANE\_TYPE\_FIXED}, \code{SANE\_TYPE\_STR\-ING},
+\code{SANE\_TYPE\_BUTTON}).  Argument \code{value\_size} specifies
+the size of the option value in number of bytes (see
+Section~\ref{sec:valuesize} for the precise meaning of this value).
+Finally, argument \code{value} is a pointer to the option value.  It
+must be a writeable area that is at least \code{value\_size} bytes
+large. (Note that this area must be writable even if the action is to
+set the option value.  This is because the backend may not be able to
+set the exact option value, in which case the option value is used to
+return the next best value that the backend has chosen.)
+
+In the reply, argument \code{resource} is set to the name of the
+resource that must be authorized before this call can be retried.  If
+this value is non-\code{NULL}, all other arguments have undefined
+values (see Section~\ref{sec:authorization} for details on how to
+authorize a resource).  Argument \code{status} indicates the
+completion status.  If the value is anything other than
+\code{SANE\_STA\-TUS\_GOOD}, the remainder of the reply has undefined
+values.  The \code{info} argument returns the information on how well
+the backend was able to satisfy the request.  For details, see the
+description of the corresponding argument in
+Section~\ref{sec:control}.  Arguments \code{value\_type} and
+\code{value\_size} have the same values as the arguments by the same
+name in corresponding request.  The values are repeated here to ensure
+that both the request and the reply are self-contained (i.e., they can
+be encoded and decoded independently).  Argument \code{value} is holds
+the value of the option that has become effective as a result of this
+RPC.
+
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_GET\_PARAMETERS}}}
+
+RPC Code: 6
+
+This RPC is used to obtain the scan parameters of a remote SANE
+device.
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word handle} & \code{SANE\_Status status} \\
+                           & \code{SANE\_Parameters params} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{handle} argument identifies the connection to the remote
+device whose scan parameters should be returned.
+
+In the reply, \code{status} indicates the completion status.  If the
+value is anything other than \code{SANE\_STA\-TUS\_GOOD}, the
+remainder of the reply has undefined values.  The argument
+\code{params} is used to return the scan parameters.
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_START}}}
+
+RPC Code: 7
+
+This RPC is used to start image acquisition (scanning).
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word handle} & \code{SANE\_Status status} \\
+                           & \code{SANE\_Word port} \\
+                           & \code{SANE\_Word byte\_order} \\
+                           & \code{SANE\_String resource} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{handle} argument identifies the connection to the remote
+device from which the image should be acquired.
+
+In the reply, argument \code{resource} is set to the name of the
+resource that must be authorized before this call can be retried.  If
+this value is non-\code{NULL}, all other arguments have undefined
+values (see Section~\ref{sec:authorization} for details on how to
+authorize a resource).  Argument, \code{status} indicates the
+completion status.  If the value is anything other than
+\code{SANE\_STA\-TUS\_GOOD}, the remainder of the reply has
+undefined values.  The argument \code{port} returns the port number
+from which the image data will be available.  To read the image data,
+a network client must connect to the remote host at the indicated port
+number.  Through this port, the image data is transmitted as a
+sequence of data records.  Each record starts with the data length in
+bytes.  The data length is transmitted as a sequence of four bytes.
+These bytes should be interpreted as an unsigned integer in big-endian
+format.  The four length bytes are followed by the number of data
+bytes indicated by the length.  Except for byte-order, the data is in
+the same format as defined for \code{sane\_read()}.  Since some
+records may contain no data at all, a length value of zero is
+perfectly valid.  The special length value of \code{0xffffffff} is
+used to indicate the end of the data stream.  That is, after receiving
+a record length of \code{0xffffffff}, the network client should close
+the data connection and stop reading data.
+
+Argument \code{byte\_order} specifies the byte-order of the image
+data.  A value of 0x1234 indicates little-endian format, a value of
+0x4321 indicates big-endian format.  All other values are presently
+undefined and reserved for future enhancements of this protocol.  The
+intent is that a network server sends data in its own byte-order and
+the client is responsible for adjusting the byte-order, if necessary.
+This approach causes no unnecessary overheads in the case where the
+server and client byte-order match and puts the extra burden on the
+client side when there is a byte-order mismatch.  Putting the burden
+on the client-side improves the scalability properties of this
+protocol.
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_CANCEL}}}
+
+RPC Code: 8
+
+This RPC is used to cancel the current operation of a remote SANE
+device.
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_Word handle} & \code{SANE\_Word dummy} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{handle} argument identifies the connection whose operation
+should be cancelled.
+
+In the reply, the \code{dummy} argument is unused.  Its purpose is to
+ensure proper synchronization (without it, a net client would not be
+able to determine when the RPC has completed).
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_AUTHORIZE}}}\label{sec:authorization}
+\index{network authorization}
+
+RPC Code: 9
+
+This RPC is used to pass authorization data from the net client to the
+net server.
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  {\bf request:} & {\bf reply:} \\
+  \code{SANE\_String resource} & \code{SANE\_Word dummy} \\
+  \code{SANE\_String username} & \\
+  \code{SANE\_String password} & \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+The \code{resource} argument specifies the name of the resource to be
+authorized.  This argument should be set to the string returned in the
+\code{resource} argument of the RPC reply that required this
+authorization call.  The \code{username} and \code{password} are the
+name of the user that is accessing the resource and the password for
+the specified resource/user pair.
+
+Since the password is not encrypted during network transmission, it is
+recommended to use the following extension:
+
+If the server adds the string `\code{\$MD5\$}' to the resource-name followed
+by a random string not longer then 128 bytes, the client may answer with the
+MD5 digest of the concatenation of the password and the random string. To
+differentiate between the MD5 digest and a strange password the client prepends
+the MD5 digest with the string `\code{\$MD5\$}'.
+
+In the reply, \code{dummy} is completely unused.  Note that there is
+no direct failure indication.  This is unnecessary since a net client
+will retry the RPC that resulted in the authorization request until
+that call succeeds (or until the request is cancelled). The RPC that resulted
+in the authorization request continues after the reply from the client and may
+fail with \code{SANE\_STATUS\_ACCESS\_DENIED}.
+
+
+\subsection{\code{\defn{SANE\_NET\_EXIT}}}
+
+RPC Code: 10
+
+This RPC is used to disconnect a net client from a net server.  There
+are no request or reply arguments in this call.  As a result of this
+call, the connection between the client and the server that was
+established by the \code{SANE\_NET\_INIT} call will be closed.

+Plustek-Driver TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQ - 19.04.2001
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+The driver exists now since March 2000, this is the first trial to setup
+a FAQ. This leads into the following:
+First we have a part, which is more a troubleshooting section and the second
+one is the FAQ.
+To search through this text, search for "SYMPTOM" or "Q:".
+
+If you have some more FAQ entries, let me know <gerhard@gjaeger.de>
+
+THANKS to Jochen <jochen@puchalla-online.de>, who roamed through the
+mailing-list and gathered the different questions.

+*******************************************************************************
+
+
+SYMPTOM: "kernel-module version mismatch"
+--------
+"When I try to "make load" I get an error"
+
+/sbin/modprobe pt_drv || exit 1
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-6.0.6/misc/pt_drv.o: kernel-module version mismatch
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-6.0.1/misc/pt_drv.o was compiled
+for kernel version 2.2.14-5.0
+while this kernel is version 2.2.14-6.0.1.
+
+PROBLEM:
+--------
+You're using the wrong Kernel-header files.
+
+The path
+/usr/include/linux is a link to
+/usr/src/linux/include/linux and
+/usr/src/linux is normally a link to your current
+kernel, i.e:
+/usr/src/linux-2.2.14
+
+If you now upgrade your kernel and you have
+forgotten to correct the link /usr/src/linux, then
+every kernel-module you build outside the
+kernelsource structure will include the wrong
+version information.
+
+SOLUTION:
+---------
+Set the link /usr/src/linux
+to your current kernel-source tree before recompiling
+kernel-modules like pt_drv, then your version mismatch 
+problem should be solved.
+
+
+
+SYMPTOM: "Device or resource busy"
+--------
+Any attempt to "modprobe" or "make load" the driver leads
+to this message.
+
+PROBLEM:
+--------
+The driver refuses to load. During startup, the driver performs
+some tests according to the parallel port and the connected
+scanners.
+If the parallel port is not supported or the scanner cannot be
+found, the driver returns an error and the system will report
+"device or resource busy"
+
+SOLUTION:
+---------
+There's no way to provide a general solution. First of all
+you should check your connections and the parallel port.
+Also check power for your scanner.
+If the problem still exists, enable the debug-messages of the
+pt_drv module (see INSTALL).
+Then check the messages after loading or send the output to
+the mailing list.
+Most of these problems are related to HW-problems. Before
+giving up, check the scanner under Windows (not really a
+good advice I know, but it helps to find HW-damage).
+There was also one case were the internal plugs of the parport
+connection were wrong...
+
+
+
+SYMPTOM: "Unresolved symbols"
+--------
+"make load" or "modprobe pt_drv" produces this message:
+
+/sbin/modprobe pt_drv || exit 1
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pt_drv.o: unresolved symbol parport_unregister_device
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pt_drv.o: unresolved symbol parport_enumerate
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pt_drv.o: unresolved symbol parport_register_device
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pt_drv.o: unresolved symbol parport_claim
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pt_drv.o: unresolved symbol parport_release
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pt_drv.o: insmod
+/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pt_drv.o failed
+
+
+PROBLEM:
+--------
+The driver needs at least the parport_pc and the parport modules
+to work. They MUST be loaded prior to pt_drv. If these modules
+are not loaded you get this message.
+
+SOLUTION:
+---------
+Simply load the parport module. You can add this dependency to
+your /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules) file (see INSTALL).
+Then everytime you load pt_drv with modprobe, parport will be loaded
+automatically. After modifying this file, call
+depmod -va
+
+
+
+SYMPTOM: Scanner makes awful noise
+--------
+
+PROBLEM:
+--------
+This can have two major causes:
+- You have an ASIC96001/3 based scanner, then the sensor hits the
+  scanbed: !!! TURN OFF SCANNER POWER !!!
+
+- You have an ASIC98001 based scanner, then the motor control does
+  not work correctly --> hit the cancel button
+
+SOLUTION:
+---------
+For the first case (ASIC 96001/3), there's no solution available. This
+happens, when the driver can't keep track of the stepper motor. The image
+you get is normally unusable.
+The second case is often reported when the printer driver lp.o is
+already loaded. So remove lp.o before loading pt_drv.
+
+
+
+SYMPTOM: Printer starts to print while scanning
+--------
+
+PROBLEM:
+--------
+It has been reported, that some printers (esp. HP printers) start to
+print, even during startup of the driver. This is a problem to printers
+which use a bidirectional protocol for talking with the system.
+
+
+SOLUTION:
+---------
+There is no possibility to handle this problem inside the driver.
+One possibility is to switch off the bidirectional communication of the
+printer. The other one is to connect the printer to another parallel port.

+SYMPTOM: error in loading shared libraries: libsane.so.1: cannot open
+-------- shared object file: No such file or directory
+
+PROBLEM:
+--------
+The shared libraries for SANE have been installed to a
+directory which is not in your "library path"
+
+SOLUTION:
+---------
+SANE installs its shared libraries to PREFIX/lib/sane.
+PREFIX is in general /usr or /usr/local. You should
+either add the path to your /etc/ld.so.conf file or
+set links to the libraries from a wellknown lib-path.
+(i.e. ln -s /usr/lib/sane/libsane.so.1 /usr/lib/libsane.so.1)

+
+
+SYMPTOM: "no SANE devices found"
+--------
+While testing with "scanimage -L" nothing happens. And when starting scanimage
+this message is displayed.
+
+PROBLEM:
+--------
+The frontend cannot find any sane-device, this might have several causes:
+- the driver is not loaded
+- you have no access to the driver
+- the backend is not enabled
+- the driver is not specified
+- version conflict between the loaded driver and the backend
+
+SOLUTION:
+---------
+Driver not loaded: check "cat /proc/pt_drv" if this does not exist, load
+the driver (see INSTALL)
+
+No access to the driver: check "ls -l /dev/pt_drv*" and you should get

+If not, call "make load" in the driver source directory. This call sometimes
+fails, so you might create the entries by using mknod:
+mknod -m 0664 /dev/pt_drv c 40 0
+mknod -m 0664 /dev/pt_drv0 c 40 0
+mknod -m 0664 /dev/pt_drv1 c 40 1
+mknod -m 0664 /dev/pt_drv2 c 40 2
+mknod -m 0664 /dev/pt_drv3 c 40 3
+
+The backend is not enabled: Check the SANE configuration in /etc/sane.d,
+/usr/etc/sane.d or /usr/local/etc/sane.d (depending on your installation).
+Your dll.conf MUST include an enabled "plustek" entry (no "#" in front of
+that line)
+
+The driver is not specified: Check the sane configuration (see above)
+for the file plustek.conf and make sure that it contains at least
+/dev/pt_drv as entry.
+
+Version conflict: After enabling the SANE debug messages you will
+get something like upon starting scanimage:
+ioctl PT_DRV_OPEN_DEVICE failed(-9019)
+Version problem, please recompile driver!
+In this case, you MUST recompile the backend AND the driver and reinstall
+both. This feature makes sure, that both always will use the same ioctl
+interface.
+
+
+PROBLEM:
+--------
+I have SANE-1.0.4 and there's no backend-directory after unpacking, so
+what to do?
+
+SOLUTION:
+---------
+You're wrong there is a backend directory!!!
+Since SANE-1.0.4, there are two packages:
+sane-backends
+sane-frontends
+For the installation, you need the backend tarball. This should give
+you something like:
+sane-1.0.4/sane-backends
+and there below sane-backends is the backend directory. So you have
+to unpack the plustek-sane...tgz in sane-backends.

+*                                   F A Q                                     *
+*******************************************************************************
+
+Q:  What does "Turbo" mean ?
+
+A:  Turbo does not mean, that the scanner is faster ;-)
+    There are currently three OpticPro9636P Scanners.
+    OP9636P
+    OP9636P+
+    OP9636PTurbo
+    The + and the Turbo models are quite the same and the difference between
+    the Turbo and the non-Turbo	is the scan-sensor. The Turbo uses the same
+    like the newer OP9636T/12000T and the non-Turbo uses the older ones
+    from the OP9630....
+
+
+Q:  Is it possible to use the front-button of my Plustek 9630P ?
+
+A:  It is possible since version 0.37. After loading the driver,
+    use the proc filesystem to get the button value:
+    cat /proc/pt_drv/device0/button0
+
+
+Q:  Is it possible to use the scanner in gimp ?
+
+A:  You should be able to use xscanimage with gimp:
+    1. Login as root
+    2. Go into the gimp plug-in directory
+       (on SuSE it is: /usr/lib/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/ )
+    3. Find xscanimage : which xscanimage
+    4. Create a symbolic link to xscanimage :
+       ln -s "/path/to/"xscanimage  xscanimage
+    5. logout as root
+    Now call gimp, in the xtns menu you should find
+    now the Acquire Image menu entry. That's all.
+    If not, start gimp from an xterm and have a look at the output.
+
+
+Q:  Is there any way to load the plustek_driver at bootup-time?
+
+A:  Normally, there is no need to do so, because once you
+    altered your /etc/conf.modules file (or /etc/modules.conf)
+    and added the suggested stuff (see INSTALL file), you won't
+    have to worry about loading the driver. It happens automagically. ;-)
+    The driver will be loaded when needed (and eventually
+    removed after a specific time of not using it).
+	
+    Nevertheless, another possibility is to do a modprobe pt_drv in the
+    /etc/rc.d/boot.local (using SuSE) or
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.local (using RedHat or Mandrake) file
+    So the driver will be loaded at bootup-time...
+    !!! YOUR SCANNER MUST BE ONLINE during power-up then !!!
+
+
+Q:  I wonder if Mandrake 7.1's sane rpm file has this support already built in.
+    My scanner light is coming on yet Xscanimage seems to report that there
+    is no scanner present.
+
+A:  The backend code will be included in Version 1.0.3 of sane and
+    AFAIK Mandrake 7.1 only includes 1.0.2.
+    Anyway go to the plustek-driver download page at
+    http://home.t-online.de/home/g-jaeger/plustek.html
+    download and install the driver.
+
+
+Q:  Mandrake installs sane by default at install-time.
+    Is there a way to install the driver with the preinstalled sane
+    or should the preinstalled sane be removed first?
+    If so, how do I remove the preinstalled sane?
+
+A:  I recommend to uninstall the previous one.
+    I think Mandrake uses RPM for managing the packages. To remove sane
+    do the following (as root)
+
+    Ask for all installed packages and filter sane:
+    rpm -qa | grep sane
+    you should get something like this:
+    sane-1.0.1-94
+    Now remove this package:
+
+    rpm -e sane-1.0.1-94
+
+    After theses steps, sane should be removed.
+    I'm not sure,  but you might have to remove the /etc/sane.d manually...
+    Now got to your sane-1.0.3 stuff and reinstall this
+    as described. Before using, you might have a look
+    at the dll.conf and enable only the plustek backend.
+
+
+Q:  Now that there's a sane 1.0.3, how do i uninstall sane 1.0.2?
+    Or can i install it over?
+
+A:  In general you can install it over. BUT this has caused
+    quite a lot of trouble, so I recommend to remove the 1.0.2
+    completely and install 1.0.3...
+
+    try the rpm-tool:
+    Get a list of the installed packages and filter out sane:
+
+    rpm -qa | grep sane
+
+    You should get something like:
+
+    sane-1.0.2-48
+
+    Then use rpm to remove sane:
+
+    rpm -e sane-1.0.2-48
+
+    The other way is:
+
+    rm -rf /etc/sane.d
+    rm -rf /usr/lib/sane
+    rm -rf /usr/lib/libsane*
+    rm -rf /usr/include/sane
+    rm -rf /usr/etc/sane.d
+    rm -rf /usr/share/sane*
+    rm -rf /usr/local/lib/sane
+    rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libsane*
+    rm -rf /usr/local/include/sane
+    rm -rf /usr/local/etc/sane.d
+    rm -rf /usr/local/share/sane*
+
+    This should cover all the directories where maybe some
+    sane files are installed...

+Plustek-PARPRORT.txt (2004-03-28) Gerhard Jäger <gerhard@gjaeger.de>
+====================================================================
+
+
+Beginning with SANE-1.0.13, there's a backend called plustek_pp.
+This is for controlling Plustek parallel-port scanner and compatible
+devices. For a full listing, see plustek_pp.desc.
+
+This code formerly was available for creating the Linux kernelmodule
+pt_drv. This should no longer be necessary. You should be able to use
+the backend out of the box.
+
+
+The kernel module
+-----------------
+
+As it might be helpful to create and use the kernel-module, this way still
+exists. It's possible to create this module out of the backend sources
+in sane-backends/backend. Simply do (as root user)
+
+./MakeModule.sh
+
+Then the module should be compiled, installed and loaded.
+
+Add the following three lines to file /etc/modules.conf 
+
+alias char-major-40	pt_drv
+pre-install pt_drv modprobe -k parport
+options pt_drv lampoff=180 warmup=15 port=0x378 lOffonEnd=0 mov=0 slowIO=1
+
+See man page for sane-plustek_pp ("man sane-plustek_pp") for explanation of
+these options.
+
+Now "scanimage -L" should show something like this:
+device `plustek:/dev/pt_drv' is a Plustek 9630P flatbed scanner
+
+
+Known Problems:
+---------------
+
+Sometimes it is necessary to change the ioctl-interface between the
+driver and the backend, in this case the version number of the communication
+protocol will be changed and newer drivers won't work with older backends
+and vice versa.
+In this case (error -9019 in the SANE debug output!!) you have to recompile SANE
+AND the driver (have a look at the installation procedure above).

+
+How to use and configure the Plustek USB backend
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Please note, that the following is only needed, if you need to upgrade
+a SANE version...
+
+
+Preparations
+------------
+
+What do we need ?
+
+a SANE backends archive (i.e. sane-backends-1.0.9.tar.gz)
+a driver archive (i.e. plustek-sane-0.45-1.tar.gz)
+
+The latest SANE archive can be obtained at:
+http://www.sane-project.org
+and the latest backend at:
+http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html
+
+Assumptions
+-----------
+
+Our starting point is your home-directory:
+
+:~>
+
+The packages (here sane-backends-1.0.9.tar.gz und plustek-sane-0.45-1.tar.gz)
+are in the /tmp directory.
+
+Let's go:
+---------
+
+Change to your home directory and create a sane directory
+cd ~
+mkdir sane
+
+unpack your sane tar-ball (here "sane-backends-1.0.9.tar.gz")
+to this "sane" directory
+
+cd sane
+tar xvzf /tmp/sane-backends-1.0.9.tar.gz
+
+Now unpack your plustek-sane tarball (here "plustek-sane-0.45-1.tar.gz")
+to the backends directory:
+
+cd sane-backends-1.0.9
+tar xvzf /tmp/plustek-sane-0.45-1.tar.gz
+
+Now do the ./configure step...
+Especially for SuSE with a preinstalled SANE-RPM:
+./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
+
+Then do the make step and after that as root user perform the make install
+step.
+
+That's all!
+
+Before using, make sure that the USB scanner device driver is loaded:
+modprobe scanner
+or
+modprobe scanner vendor=0x7b3 product=0x17
+
+You might need to add the following line to /etc/modules.conf, if the scanner is not
+supported directly - vendor and product must match your device!
+options scanner vendor=0x7b3 product=0x17
+
+If you're not sure about the vendor and product id of your device, simply load
+the USB subsystem and plug in your scanner. Then do a
+cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
+and look for the scanner
+
+Now you have to configure the backend. Edit the file /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
+and fill in the appropriate vendor and product id (see there for examples)
+
+This is it...
+
+
+Autoloading scanner.o
+---------------------
+
+To perform an automatic load of the scanner module, you might add the modprobe
+line to your boot.local file.
+i.e. on SuSE system > 7.x
+/etc/init.d/boot.local
+An alternative way is to use the hotplug utilities.
+
+
+Using hotplug utilities and libusb
+----------------------------------
+
+When using libusb with SANE, then you should also use the hotplug utilities to
+automatically setup your device nodes (at least the permissions) and prevent
+scanner.o from loading.
+
+Assuming, that these utilites are properly installed on your box, you have
+to tweak and add some files.
+
+In directory (where of course the config files reside):
+/etc/hotplug
+
+Append the line
+scanner
+to file
+blacklist
+
+This prevents the scanner module from the usb-subsystem to be loaded.
+
+Next thing is to add a new line in
+usb.usermap:
+
+usbscanner 0x0003 0x1606 0x0160 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 000000
+
+The example line shows the vendor ID of UMAX 0x1606 and the product ID of the 5400
+0x0160 - these values must match the ones of your scanner.
+
+Last step is adding a script in 
+/etc/hotplug/usb/
+It is called "usbscanner" (don't forget the executable rights)
+
+-------------------------------------------------
+# !/bin/bash
+
+if [ "${ACTION}" = add ] && [ -f "${DEVICE}" ]
+then
+        chgrp users "${DEVICE}"
+        chmod ug+rw "${DEVICE}"
+fi
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+This script will correct the access right to your scanner device when the device
+is plugged in.
+              
+
+Debugging your USB scanner (written by Kev Green)
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Firstly, are you running the latest version of SANE, and the Plustek USB driver?
+
+Double check at http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html
+(Plustek USB driver) and http://www.sane-project.org (SANE Suite) to
+make sure you are.
+
+Now, in order to test and utilise your scanner with the Scanner Access Now Easy
+(SANE) system, there are basically two programs that you will need to use from
+the sane-frontends (versions post 1.0.3) or sane (versions pre 1.0.3) packages.
+
+Firstly, the sane-find-scanner program will allow you to locate your scanner,
+and help you work out if sane knows where it is. This is not definite however,
+as (you'll see this too when using sane-find-scanner) it will find all the
+scanners on your USB and SCSI bus, whereas sane will only work when you have
+the relevant sane backend installed and configured correctly for the relevant
+scanner.
+
+So, if sane-find-scanner can find your scanner, but scanimage doesn't work,
+then you need to check, double check, and even triple-check your SANE
+configuration file for plustek scanners (plustek.conf, usually in
+/etc/sane.d
+or maybe in /usr/local/sane/ or somewhere, a "find" will be able to tell you
+where. It may take a while though!).
+
+If sane-find-scanner doesn't find your scanner, then you should check to see if
+the kernel recognises it at all, which you can do with the following command,
+as mentioned above:
+
+cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
+
+If your scanner doesn't appear in there, then the kernel has not recognised it.
+There may however be a crypic-looking entry in there which doesn't name itself
+as plustek, in which case it is recognised as being there by the kernel, but is
+not know to the kernel's USB device database, in which case this should be
+mentioned on the plustek list (<plustek@linuxhacker.org>), from where
+the "powers that be" will deal with it.
+
+If that file does not exist in the /proc filesystem, then you don't have the
+"Preliminary USB filesystem" option set in your kernel, and you will need to
+recompile your kernel to allow you to do this step in debugging. If it
+exists, but is empty, you will have to make sure (use the kernel configure
+help information and the details of your motherboard to ascertain this!)
+you have the right one of UHCI or OHCI USB modules installed or compiled into
+your kernel.
+
+Once you've established that the kernel has recognised your scanner, you can
+start pointing the finger at SANE, or simply the "scanner" module. You will
+need to have selected the "USB Scanner" option in your kernel compilation as
+a module, or compiled into the kernel. If you have done neither, then SANE will
+simply not be able to recognise your scanner.  Rectify that, if you are missing
+it.
+
+If you have carried out all of the above steps, then sane-find-scanner should
+be able to recognise your scanner correctly.
+
+sane-find-scanner probes all of the devices on the SCSI and USB busses, and
+so you may find that it outputs "unable to get minor data" errors or similar
+to your terminal, or to your error logs, you can safely ignore these as long
+as it does that, and has recognised your scanner.
+
+Once you have found your scanner okay using sane-find-scanner, then you are
+ready to start messing around with the actual scanimage program to attempt
+to scan an image in.
+
+Obviously (although this may turn out to be premature) you should now have
+something in your scanner ready to scan for verification.
+
+At this stage, you should begin to be warey, because while the USB stuff for
+Plustek scanners is in development it may (like any kernel/module related software)
+crash your system with a kernel panic, or simply just segfault, so for your own sake,
+close down all the applications you are running and ONLY use text console, rather
+than X-Windows at this point, as you will certainly want to avoid any
+potential filesystem corruption.
+
+At this point it's probably also good to ensure that you have selected the
+"Magic SysRq Key" option in the kernel hacking section of the kernel config,
+and done:
+
+echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
+
+And of course read the readme for that in /usr/src/linux/Documentation, as that
+should allow you to avoid filesystem corruption during any crashes that might
+happen.
+
+Now, before running scanimage, you should enable the maximum levels of
+debugging possible in both the SANE core and in the Plustek scanner
+backend.
+
+To do this you should do:
+
+export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=12
+export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=12
+
+Now, if you run scanimage, you should be able to see the maximum debugging
+messages.
+
+If those messages don't tell you what is wrong, then take note of your scanner
+type, the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices, and the contents of your error
+log, as well as (where possible) the output of the scanimage command (if
+you can't capture it directly, an as-accurate-as-possible description is
+MUCH better than nothing!), and try and get all of the activity that
+your scanner did as well (light
+came on? didnt? motors came on? etc?) and email that to the plustek list
+(<plustek@linuxhacker.org>).
+
+For the particularly adventurous only...
+
+You might want to try running the scanimage program through strace or
+gdb to see if you can go some or all of the way to debugging the problem
+yourself, and post the relevant (ie. last!) parts of those utilities
+output to the plustek-help list. If you don't know what strace or gdb
+are, then you should probably not try that.
+
+It's probably safe to run your scanner in a normal operating environment
+under Linux once you have got it working once in a text console.
+
+
+How to add a new LM9831/2 based device description
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+If you have a LM9831 or LM9832 based scanner and your vendor and product id did
+not appear in the list above and you're willing to do some experiments, then
+simply add your device to the file plustek-devs.c at the end of the list.
+See the list at the end of the file how this works...

+2009-05-05
+
+This text summarizes some points to pay attention to when a new release
+of sane-backends is planned.
+
+Timetable (approximate periods):
+
+Day  0: Announcement of upcoming release on sane-devel including timetable
+Day 14: Feature freeze (only bugfixes + documentation updates)
+Day 28: Code freeze (only fixes for bugs that can destroy hardware, can cause 
+        compilation problems or render a backend completely unusable, and
+        documentation updates are allowed)
+Day 35: Release
+
+Before the release:
+
+* set :new :yes on any new backend .desc files
+* Make sure that config.guess and config.sub are up-to-date (get them from
+  savannah.gnu.org/projects/config)
+* configure.in: increase version number
+* configure.in: remove 'git' from textual version number
+* configure.in: set is_release=yes
+* OPTIONAL: aclocal.m4: recreate by running aclocal
+* OPTIONAL: include/sane/config.h.in: recreate (autoheader in root of checkout)
+* DONT run autoreconf, it will overwrite our custom ltmain.sh
+* configure: recreate by running autoconf
+* NEWS: update and enter date of release
+* sane-backends.lsm: update
+* ChangeLog: set release marker
+* git commit -a
+* tag git with release tag; e.g.: 'git tag -a RELEASE_1_0_15'
+* probably DONT want to git push here, cause alioth will rebuild it's local
+  checkout needlessly
+
+Making the release:
+
+* make tar.gz, sane-backends-x.y.z.lsm, and .md5sum with "make sane-backends"
+* unpack tar.gz in temporary directory
+* make diff from last release by unpacking it also in temporary directory
+  and running e.g. 
+  diff -uNr sane-backends-1.0.14 sane-backends-1.0.15  > sane-backends-1.0.14-1.0.15.diff
+* check that the diff applies cleanly to the old version
+* gzip the diff
+* install devel headers required to build optional backends (1284,gphoto,etc)
+* check that the new version .tar.gz can be compiled
+* upload these files together with the .diff.gz to the FTP/HTTP servers
+  (at the moment: alioth.debian.org, ftp files are in
+  /srv/alioth.debian.org/chroot/ftproot/pub/sane/ )
+
+Announcing the release:
+
+* checkout the sane/website.git module and:
+* copy sane-backends.html to sane-backends-"old-version".html
+* update sane-supported-devices.html with link to above "old" file
+* rebuild sane-backends.html and sane-mfgs.html (make -C doc html-pages)
+* use man2html from http://hydra.nac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html
+  to rebuild html man pages (make -C doc html-man) (no other version works)
+* add md5 sum to sane-md5sum.txt
+* check and update platforms page (sane-support.html)
+* add announcement to index.html
+* git commit -a && git push
+* check that website was updated automatically. if not, see:
+  /org/alioth.debian.org/chroot/home/groups/sane/bin/update-htdocs.sh
+* rebuild descriptions.db (make -C doc descriptions.db)
+* scp doc/descriptions.db to alioth:
+  /org/alioth.debian.org/chroot/home/groups/sane/search/release
+* write announcements sane-devel, maybe others (e.g. freshmeat),
+  include the md5 hash
+
+After the release:
+
+* move ChangeLog to ChangeLog-"version"
+* start a new ChangeLog
+* add ChangeLog-"version" to EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.in and Makefile.am
+* configure.in: bump textual version & add 'git' suffix
+* configure.in: bump V_REV
+* configure.in: set is_release=no
+* configure: regenerate with autoconf
+* remove the ':new' tag from any new backends .desc files
+* git add new files and commit
+* git push --tags

+.SH NAME
+sane\-abaton \- SANE backend for Abaton flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-abaton
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to Abaton flatbed scanners. At present, only the Scan
+300/GS (8bit, 256 levels of gray) is fully supported, due to the
+absence of programming information.  The Scan 300/S (black and white)
+is recognized, but support for it is untested.
+.PP
+If you own a Abaton scanner other than the ones listed above that
+works with this backend, or if you own an Abaton scanner that does not
+work with this backend, please contact
+.IR sane\-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
+with the model number, so that arrangements can be made to include
+support for it. Have a look at http://www.sane\-project.org/mailing\-lists.html
+concerning subscription to sane\-devel.
+.PP
+Abaton is out of business, and these scanners are not supported by
+Everex (the parent company of Abaton), nor is there any programming
+information to be found.  This driver is therefore based on
+information obtained by running Abaton's scanning desk accessory under
+MacsBug and tracing the MacOS SCSI Manager calls it made during image
+acquisition.
+.PP
+However, the protocol is very similar to, though not compatible with,
+the one used by the Apple scanners, therefore, if this backend is ever
+extended to support the other Abaton models (they also made a color
+flatbed scanner), it may be possible to fill in some "missing pieces"
+from the (quite detailed) Apple scanner documentation.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI
+scanner. For SCSI scanners, the special device name must be a generic
+SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.  Under Linux, such a device
+name takes a format such as
+.I /dev/sga
+or
+.IR /dev/sg0 ,
+for example.  See sane\-scsi(5) for details.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I abaton.conf
+file is a list of device names that correspond to Abaton scanners.
+Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.  See
+sane\-scsi(5) on details of what constitutes a valid device name.
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/abaton.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-abaton.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-abaton.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
+support dynamic loading).
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are
+separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a
+semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file
+is searched in two default directories: first, the current working
+directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the
+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
+directories.  For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_ABATON
+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 BUGS
+There are a few known ones, and definitely some unknown ones.
+.TP
+.B Scan area miscalculations
+For the sake of programmer efficiency, this backend handles all
+measurements in millimetres, and floors (rather than rounds) values to
+avoid possible damage to the scanner mechanism.  Therefore, it may not
+be possible to scan to the extreme right or bottom edges of the page.
+.TP
+.B Cancelling the scan
+This might not work correctly, or it might abort the frontend.  The
+former is more likely than the latter.
+.PP
+If you have found something that you think is a bug, please attempt to
+recreate it with the SANE_DEBUG_ABATON environment variable set to
+255, and send a report detailing the conditions surrounding the bug to
+.IR sane\-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org .
+
+.SH TODO
+.TP
+.B Implement non-blocking support
+.TP
+.B Finish reverse-engineering the MacOS driver
+This will allow me to add support for other models with reasonable
+confidence that it will work, as well as to fully exploit the
+information returned by the INQUIRY command.
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+sane(7), sane\-scsi(5), scanimage(1)

+The sane\-abaton backend was partially written by David Huggins-Daines,
+based on the sane\-apple backend by Milon Firikis.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-agfafocus \- SANE backend for AGFA Focus flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-agfafocus
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to AGFA Focus flatbed scanners. At present, the following
+scanners are supported from this backend:
+.PP

+The driver supports line art, 6bpp and 8bpp gray, 18bpp and 24bpp
+color scans.
+.PP
+If you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with
+this backend, please let us know by sending the scanner's model name,

+.IR sane\-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org .
+Have a look at http://www.sane\-project.org/mailing\-lists.html
+concerning subscription to sane\-devel.
+.PP
+All of these scanners are pre-SCSI-2, and do not even report properly
+to SCSI Inquiry.  This is typically evident in SCSI bus scans, where
+the scanner will come up with only garbage as vendor and models strings.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is either the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a

+.SH MISSING FUNCTIONALITY
+
+Uploading of dither matrices and tonecurves has been implemented, but
+so far has not proven to be useful for anything.  For this reason
+these options have been disabled.
+
+.SH BUGS
+The scanners that do not support disconnect have problems with SCSI
+timeouts if the SCSI bus gets loaded, eg. if you do a kernel build at
+the same time as scanning.  To see if your scanner supports
+disconnect, run "SANE_DEBUG_AGFAFOCUS=128 scanimage \-L" in sh and look
+for the "disconnect:" line)
+
+.SH DEBUG
+If you have problems with SANE not detecting your scanner, make sure the
+Artec backend is disabled.  Somehow, this backend causes at least my scanner
+not to respond correctly to SCSI inquiry commands.
+.PP
+If you encounter a bug please set the environment variable
+SANE_DEBUG_AGFAFOCUS to 128 and try to regenerate the problem. Then
+send me a report with the log attached.
+.PP
+If you encounter a SCSI bus error or trimmed and/or displaced images please
+also set the environment variable SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI to 128 before sending 
+me the report.
+
+.SH TODO
+.TP
+.B More scanners?
+
+The AGFA ACS and ARCUS scanners are similar to the FOCUS scanners.
+The driver could probably be extended to support these scanners
+without too many changes.  I do not have access to such scanners, and
+cannot add support for it.  However, if you are in possession of such
+a scanner, I could be helpful in adding support for these scanners.
+
+The AGFA HORIZON scanners are SCSI-2 scanners, and it would probably
+be easier to support these scanners in a SCSI-2 compliant backend.

+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is either the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a

+.I /dev/sga
+or
+.IR /dev/sge ,
+for example.  See sane\-scsi(5) for details.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The
+.I apple.conf
+file is a list of options and device names that correspond to Apple
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  See sane\-scsi(5) on details of what constitutes a valid
+device name.
+.PP
+Options come in two flavors: global and positional ones.  Global
+options apply to all devices managed by the backend, whereas positional
+options apply just to the most recently mentioned device.  Note that
+this means that the order in which the options appear matters!
+
+.SH SCSI ADAPTER TIPS
+SCSI scanners are typically delivered with an ISA SCSI adapter.
+Unfortunately, that adapter is not worth much since it is not
+interrupt driven.  It is sometimes possible to get the supplied card
+to work, but without an interrupt line, scanning will put so much load on
+the system that it becomes almost unusable for other tasks.

+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable is list of directories where SANE looks

+If SANE_CONFIG_DIR is not set, SANE defaults to
+searching the current working directory (".") and then /etc/sane.d.
+If the value of $SANE_CONFIG_DIR ends with the separator
+character, the default directories are searched after the directory list.
+For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in that order).
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_APPLE
+Controls the debug level.  A value of 255 prints
+all debug output.  Smaller values reduce verbosity.  Requires a
+library compiled with debug support.
+
+.SH CURRENT STATUS
+The apple backend is now in version 0.3 (Tue Jul 21 1998). Since
+I only have the AppleScanner and not the other models (OneScanner,
+ColorOneScanner) I can only develop/test for the AppleScanner effectively.
+However with this release I almost completed the gui part of all scanners.
+Most of the functionality is there. At least OneScanner should scan
+at the AppleScanner's compatible modes (LineArt, HalfTone, Gray16). My
+personal belief is that with a slight touch of debugging the OneScanner
+could be actually usable. The ColorOneScanner needs more work. AppleScanner
+is of course almost fully supported.
+
+.SH MISSING FUNCTIONALITY
+Currently all three models lack upload/download support.
+.TP
+.B AppleScanner
+Cannot up/download a halftone pattern.
+.TP
+.B OneScanner
+Cannot up/download halftone patterns or calibration vectors.
+.TP
+.B ColorOneScanner
+Cannot up/download halftone patterns, calibration vectors,
+custom Color Correction Tables (CCT) and of course custom gamma tables.
+.TP
+.B Park/UnPark (OneScanner, ColorOneScanner)
+.PP
+The above functionalities are missing because I don't
+have the hardware to experiment on.  Another reason is my lack
+of understanding as to how or if the SANE API provide means
+to describe any array type besides gamma.
+
+
+.SH UNSUPPORTED FEATURES
+The following "features" will never be supported, at least while I maintain
+the sane\-apple backend.
+.TP
+.B NoHome (AppleScanner)
+The scanner lamp stays on and the carriage assembly remains where it stops
+at the end of the scan. After two minutes, if the scanner does not receive
+another SCAN command, the lamp goes off and the carriage returns to the home
+position.
+.TP
+.B Compression (AppleScanner)
+The Scanner can compress data with CCITT Group III one dimensional algorithm
+(fax) and the Skip White Line algorithm.
+.TP
+.B Multiple Windows (AppleScanner)
+AppleScanner may support multiple windows. It would be a cool feature
+and a challenge for me to code if it could intermix different options
+for different windows (scan areas). This way it could scan a document
+in LineArt mode but the figures in it in Gray and at a different resolution.
+Unfortunately this is impossible.
+.TP
+.B Scan Direction (OneScanner)
+It controls the scan direction. (?)
+.TP
+.B Status/Reset Button (OneScanner)
+This option controls the status of the button on the OneScanner model. You can
+also reset the button status by software.
+
+.SH BUGS
+SANE backend bugs are divided in two classes. We have
+.B GUI
+bugs and
+.B scanner specific
+bugs.
+.PP
+We know we have a GUI bug when a parameter is not showing up when it
+should (active) or vice versa. Finding out which parameters are active
+across various Apple modes and models from the documentation
+.B ftp://ftpdev.info.apple.com/devworld/Technical_Documentation/Peripherals_Documentation/
+is an interesting exercise. I may have missed some dependencies. For example
+of the threshold parameter the Apple Scanners Programming Guide says
+nothing. I had to assume it is valid only in LineArt mode.
+.PP
+Scanner specific bugs are mostly due to mandatory round-offs in order to
+scan. In the documentation in one place states that the width of the
+scan area should be a byte multiple. In another place it says that the
+width of the scan area should be an even byte multiple. Go figure...
+.PP
+Other sources of bugs are due to scsi communication, scsi connects and
+disconnects. However the classical bugs are still there. So you may
+encounter buffer overruns, null pointers, memory corruption and
+.B SANE
+API violations.
+.TP
+.B SIGSEGV on SliceBars
+When you try to modify the scan area from the slice bar you have a nice
+little cute core dump. I don't know why. If you select the scan area from
+the preview window or by hand typing the numbers everything is fine. The
+SIGSEGV happens deep in gtk library (gdk). I really cannot debug it.
+.TP
+.B Options too much
+It is possible, especially for the ColorOneScanner, for the backend's
+options panel to extend beyond your screen. It happens with mine
+and I am running my X Server at 1024x768. What can I say? Try smaller
+fonts in the X server, or virtual screens.
+.TP
+.B Weird SCSI behaviour
+I am quoting David Myers Here...
+
+>> OS: FreeBSD 2.2.6
+.br
+>> CC: egcs-1.02
+.br
+Just wanted to follow up on this...  I recently changed my SCSI card from
+the Adaptec 2940UW to a dual-channel Symbios 786 chipset.  When I started up
+SANE with your driver, I managed to scan line art drawings okay, but Gray16
+scans led to a stream of SCSI error messages on the console, ultimately
+hanging with a message saying the scanner wasn't releasing the SCSI bus.
+This may be that the Symbios is simply less tolerant of ancient
+hardware, or may be bugs in your driver or in SANE itself...
+
+.SH DEBUG
+If you encounter a GUI bug please set the environmental variable
+SANE_DEBUG_APPLE to 255 and rerun the exact sequence of keystrokes
+and menu selections to reproduce it. Then send me a report with the
+log attached.
+.PP
+If you have an Apple Macintosh with the AppleScanners driver installed, 
+reporting to me which options are grayed out (inactive) in what modes
+would be very helpful.
+.PP
+If you want to offer some help but you don't have a scanner, or you
+don't have the model you would like to help with, or you are
+a SANE developer and you just want to take a look at how the apple backend
+looks like, goto to apple.h and #define the NEUTRALIZE_BACKEND
+macro. You can select the scanner model through the APPLE_MODEL_SELECT
+macro. Available options are APPLESCANNER, ONESCANNER, COLORONESCANNER.
+.PP
+If you encounter a SCSI bus error or trimmed and/or displaced images please
+set the environment variable SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI to 255 before sending me
+the report.
+
+.SH TODO
+.TP
+.B Non Blocking Support
+Make sane\-apple a non blocking backend. Properly support

+
+The contents of the

+# this is a comment.
+#
+# this line says search for any SCSI devices which are scanners and have
+#     a vendor string of 'ULTIMA'

+
+.SH SCSI ADAPTER TIPS
+
+Some Artec scanners come with an included SCSI adapter.  If your scanner came
+with a DTC ISA scsi cards, you can probably use it with recent (>= 2.2.0)
+kernels using the generic NCR5380 support.  You must pass the following
+boot argument to the kernel: "dtc3181e=0x2c0,0"
+.br
+I do not have any information on the PCI SCSI adapter included with some
+newer Artec scanners.
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/artec.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-artec.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-artec.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
+support dynamic loading).
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are
+separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a semi-
+colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file is
+searched in two default directories: first, the current working direc-
+tory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the
+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
+directories.  For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_ARTEC
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment
+variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g., a value of 128
+requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity:

+
+Known bugs in this release: A6000C+ users with firmware v1.92 or
+earlier have problems with the backend, the cause has not been determined.
+Sometimes the backend is not particularly robust, you can possibly lock up
+the SCSI bus (and/or machine) by not having patience enough when scanning.
+3-channel gamma correction is not implemented and single-channel gamma
+correction is not totally working on models other than the AT3.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-artec_eplus48u \- SANE backend for the scanner Artec E+ 48U and re-badged models
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-artec_eplus48u
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
+access to several USB flatbed scanners using the GT6816 chipset like the Artec E+ 48U.
+These scanners have a contact image sensor (CIS) and an USB interface.
+.PP
+A complete list of supported devices can be found on
+.IR http://www.sane\-project.org/sane\-supported\-devices.html .
+.PP
+This is ALPHA software. Especially if you test new or untested scanners, keep
+your hand at the scanner's plug and unplug it, if the head bumps at the end of
+the scan area.
+.PP
+If you own a scanner other than the ones mentioned on the list that works with this
+backend, please let us know this by sending the scanner's exact model name and
+the USB vendor and product ids (e.g. from /proc/bus/usb/devices,
+sane\-find\-scanner or syslog) to me. Even if the scanner's name is only
+slightly different from the models mentioned above, please let me know.
+.PP
+.SH KERNEL ISSUES
+If libusb-0.1.6 or later is installed, this section can be skipped. The
+scanner should be found by sane\-find\-scanner without further actions. For
+setting permissions and general USB information look at sane\-usb(5).
+.PP
+When you are using the scanner module, a Linux kernel 2.4.12 or newer is
+required.
+
+.SH FIRMWARE FILE
+You need a firmware file for your scanner. That's a small file containing
+software that will be uploaded to the scanner's memory. For the scanners
+mentioned above, it's usually named Artec48.usb or 1200.usb. You can find it on
+the installation CD that was provided by the manufacturer, normally in the
+directory Win98, WinMe or similar. If the Windows-driver is installed on your
+computer, then you can also find the firmware file under
+c:\\windows\\system32\\drivers.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I artec_eplus48u.conf
+file is a list of usb lines containing vendor and product ids that correspond
+to USB scanners. The file can also contain option lines.  Empty lines and
+lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.  The scanners are
+autodetected by
+.I usb vendor_id product_id
+statements which are already included into
+.I artec_eplus48u.conf .
+"vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify the
+.B scanner.
+.PP
+Every usb section can have additional options
+.TP
+.B artecFirmwareFile @DATADIR@/sane/artec_eplus48u/Artec48.usb
+The path to the firmware file. This option is required.

+.TP
+.B greenGamma       1.0
+.TP
+.B blueGamma        1.0
+.TP
+.B masterGamma      1.9
+These are the default gamma values. If you set the "Defaults" option with a frontend,

+.TP
+.B blueExposure     0xdc
+These are the default values for offset and exposure time. You can e.g. change them to speed up calibration,
+if you don't want to save the calibration data to disk.
+.TP
+.B vendorString "Artec"
+.TP
+.B modelString "E+ 48U"
+By default, the scanner is reported as "Artec E+ 48U". If you don't like this, e.g.

+haviour of the backend. Please report the need of
+options to the backend-author so the backend can
+be fixed as soon as possible.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I scsi scsi-spec
+
+.I usb usb-spec
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I scsi-spec
+is the path-name to a special device or a device ID for the device that
+corresponds to a SCSI scanner. The special device name must be a generic
+SCSI device or a symlink to such a device, for example on Linux "/dev/sga"
+or "/dev/sg0". The device ID is the ID returned by the scanner, for example
+"HP" or "AVISION". See sane\-scsi(5) for details.
+.TP
+Note:
+Since the backend now includes native USB access,
+it is no longer needed \- even considered obsolete \-
+to access USB scanner via the SCSI emulation (named
+hpusbscsi on Linux) for Avision USB devices such as
+the HP 53xx, HP 74xx or Minolta film-scanners.
+.PP
+.I usb-spec
+is the USB device name, the vendor/product ID pair or the name used by
+libusb corresponding to the USB scanner. For example "0x03f0 0x0701" or
+"libusb:002:003". See sane\-usb(5) for details.
+
+The program
+.IR sane\-find\-scanner 
+helps to find out the correct scsi or usb device name.

+provides access to Bell+Howell Copiscan II series document
+scanners.  The Copiscan II 6338 has been the primary scanner model

+.RE
+.PP
+If you have a Bell+Howell scanner and are able to test it with this
+backend, please contact
+.IR sane\-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
+with the model number and testing results. Have a look at
+http://www.sane\-project.org/mailing\-lists.html concerning subscription to
+sane\-devel. Additionally, the author is curious as to the likelihood of using
+this backend with the newer 4000 and 8000 series scanners.  If you have such a
+beast, please let me know.
+.PP
+The Bell+Howell Copiscan II series document scanners are high
+volume, high throughput scanners designed for document scanning 
+applications.  As such, they are lineart/grayscale scanners supporting
+a fixed number of fairly low resolutions (e.g. 200/240/300dpi).  
+However, they do have a number of interesting and useful features 
+suited to needs of document imaging applications.  
+This backend attempts to support as many of these features as possible.
+.PP
+The main technical reference used in writing this backend is the
+.B Bell and Howell Copiscan II Remote SCSI Controller (RSC) OEM 
+.B Technical Manual Version 1.5.  
+The Linux SCSI programming HOWTO, the SANE API documentation, and 
+SANE source code were also extremely valuable resources.

+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI
+scanner. For SCSI scanners, the special device name must be a generic
+SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.  Under Linux, such a device
+name takes a format such as
+.I /dev/sga
+or
+.IR /dev/sg0 ,
+for example.  See sane\-scsi(5) for details.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I bh.conf
+file is a list of device names that correspond to Bell+Howell
+scanners.  See sane\-scsi(5) on details of what constitutes a valid device name.
+Additionally, options can be specified; these lines begin with the word "option".  
+Each option is described in detail below.  Empty lines and lines starting 
+with a hash mark (#) are ignored.  
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+The following options can be specified in the
+.I bh.conf
+file.
+.TP
+.B disable\-optional\-frames
+This option prevents the backend from sending any optional frames.  This
+option may be useful when dealing with frontends which do not support these
+optional frames.  When this option is in effect, the data is sent in a
+SANE_FRAME_GRAY frame.  The optional frames sent by this backend are:
+SANE_FRAME_G31D, SANE_FRAME_G32D, SANE_FRAME_G42D and SANE_FRAME_TEXT.
+These frames are generated based on the compression and barcode options.
+These frames are never sent in preview mode.
+.TP
+.B fake\-inquiry
+This option is used for debugging purposes and its use is not encouraged.  
+Essentially, it allows the backend to initialize in the absence of
+a scanner.  This is useful for development and not much else.  
+This option must be specified earlier in the configuration file than
+the devices which are to be "faked".

+levels reduce verbosity.
+
+.SH "SUPPORTED FEATURES"
+.TP
+.B ADF support
+With document scanners, automatic document feeder (ADF) support is a key
+feature.  The backend supports the ADF by default and returns 
+.B SANE_STATUS_NO_DOCS 
+when the out-of-paper condition is detected.  The SANE frontend
+.B scanadf
+is a command line frontend that supports multi-page scans.  It has been
+used successfully with this backend.  The SANE frontend
+.B xsane
+is an improved GUI frontend by Oliver Rauch.  Support for multi-page
+scans is included in xsane version 0.35 and above.
+
+.TP
+.B Duplex scanning
+Some models, such as the COPISCAN II 6338, support duplex scanning.  That
+is, they scan both sides of the document during a single pass through the
+scanner (the scanner has two cameras).  This backend supports duplex 
+scanning (with the 
+.B \-\-duplex
+option).  The front and back page images are delivered consecutively
+as if they were separately scanned pages.
+
+.TP
+.B Hardware compression
+The scanner is capable of compressing the data into several industry
+standard formats (CCITT G3, CCITT G3-2D, CCITT G4).  This results in 
+increased performance as less data is passed from the scanner to the
+host over the SCSI bus.  The backend supports these compression formats
+via the 
+.B \-\-g31d, \-\-g32d, \-\-g42d
+options, respectively.  Many SANE frontends are not equipped to deal with
+these formats, however.  The SANE frontend
+.B scanadf
+supports these optional frame formats.  The compressed image data 
+is written directly to a file and can then be processed by a scan-script 
+using the
+.B \-\-scan\-script
+option.  Examples of this are given on the scanadf homepage.
+
+.TP
+.B Automatic Border Detection
+The scanner can automatically detect the paper size and adjust the
+scanning window geometry appropriately.  The backend supports this
+useful feature with the
+.B \-\-autoborder
+option.  It is enabled by default.
+
+.TP
+.B Batch Mode Scanning
+The batch scan mode allows for maximum throughput.  The Set Window
+parameters must remain constant during the entire batch.
+
+.TP
+.B Icon Generation
+The Icon function generates a thumbnail of the full page image, that can be
+transferred as if it were a separate page.  This allows the host to 
+quickly display a thumbnail representation during the scanning operation.
+Perhaps this would be a great way of implementing a preview scan, but 
+since a normal scan is so quick, it might not be worth the trouble.
+
+.TP
+.B Multiple Sections
+Multiple sections (scanning sub-windows) can be defined for the front and
+back pages.  Each section can have different characteristics (e.g. geometry, 
+compression).  The sections are returned as if they were separately
+scanned images.  Additionally sections can be used to greatly enhance the
+accuracy and efficiency of the barcode/patchcode decoding process by 
+limiting the search area to a small subset of the page.  Most Copiscan II
+series scanners support up to 8 user-defined sections.
+
+.TP
+.B Support Barcode/Patchcode Decoding
+The RSC unit can recognize Bar and Patch Codes of various types embedded
+in the scanned image.  The codes are decoded and the data is returned to
+the frontend as a text frame.  The text is encoded in xml and contains
+a great deal of information about the decoded data such as the location
+where it was found, its orientation, and the time it took to find.  
+Further information on the content of this text frame as well as some 
+barcode decoding examples can be found on the backend homepage.
+
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+.TP
+.B Decoding a single barcode type per scan
+The RSC unit can search for up to six different barcode types at a time.
+While the code generally supports this as well, the 
+.B \-\-barcode\-search\-bar
+option only allows the user to specify a single barcode type.  
+Perhaps another option which allows a comma separated list of barcode 
+type codes could be added to address this.
+.TP
+.B Scanning a fixed number of pages in batch mode
+The separation of front and back end functionality in SANE presents a
+problem in supporting the 'cancel batch' functionality in the scanner.
+In batch mode, the scanner is always a page ahead of the host.  The host,
+knowing ahead of time which page will be the last, can cancel batch mode
+prior to initiating the last scan command.  Currently, there is no mechanism
+available for the frontend to pass this knowledge to the backend.
+If batch mode is enabled and the \-\-end\-count terminates a scanadf session,
+an extra page will be pulled through the scanner, but is neither read
+nor delivered to the frontend.  The issue can be avoided by specifying 
+\-\-batch=no when scanning a fixed number of pages.
+.TP
+.B Revision 1.2 Patch detector
+There is an enhanced patchcode detection algorithm available in the RSC
+with revision 1.2 or higher that is faster and more reliable than the 
+standard Bar/Patch code decoder.  This is not currently supported.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B Scan Mode Options:
+.TP
+.B \-\-preview[=(yes|no)] [no]
+Request a preview-quality scan.  When preview is set to yes image
+compression is disabled and the image is delivered in a

+This section will be used for barcode decoding on the front page as well 
+as generating an image compressed in g42d format.  
+.PP
+Ordinarily barcodes are searched in the entire image.  However, when you
+specify sections all barcode searching is done within the specific sections
+identified.  This can significantly speed up the decoding process.

+.RS
+.br
+.B front
+\- generate an image for the front page section

+Parallel port and USB scanners are not supported by this backend; see

+.PP
+IMPORTANT: This is beta code. We tested the code on the scanners listed
+above, using the computers and operating systems available to us, but we
+cannot guarantee that the backend will work smoothly with future operating
+systems, SCSI adapters, SANE frontend programs, or Canon scanners not
+contained in the list above. In some cases your computer might even hang.
+It cannot be excluded (although we consider it extremely unlikely) that your
+scanner will be damaged.
+.PP
+That said, TESTERS ARE WELCOME. Send your bug reports and comments to

+FS2710S Ulrich Deiters <ukd@xenon.pc.uni\-koeln.de>.
+.PP
+
+.SH TIPS (FS2700F)
+.PP
+Scanning either slides or negatives has been found to require rather
+large gamma corrections of about 2.2 to 2.4 (same value for red, green, 
+and blue). It is recommended to use the automatic exposure controls
+of the frontend xsane for best results.
+.PP
+The "Auto Focus" function triggers a special pass to determine the focus
+value. After that, the real scanning pass takes place.
+.PP
+Even with "Auto Focus" turned on, the scanned image is often a bit too
+blurred. Using the GIMP to do a "Filter->Enhance->Sharpen" at about 40
+to 60 improves the image considerably.
+.PP
+
+.SH TIPS (FS2710S)
+.PP
+Gamma corrections are done not by the scanner, but by the backend.
+The scanner is always run in 12-bit mode. In "color" mode the image
+data are corrected for gamma, shadow point, etc., and then truncated
+to 8-bit intensities; the default gamma value is 2.0. In "raw" mode the
+image data are exported without corrections as 16-bit intensities; this
+mode can be recommended if extensive adjustments have to be made to a
+picture (and if the frontend can handle 16-bit intensities).
+.PP
+Negatives are handled by simple color inversion and may require manual
+removal of blue discoloration.

+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the

+file is a list of device names that correspond to Canon
+USB scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  Only one device name can be listed in

+helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name
+could be
+.I /dev/usb/scanner0
+for example.  See sane\-usb(5) for details.
+.PP
+This product-specific scanner driver uses the lower-level kernel USB driver
+"scanner".  Check for "Driver=usbscanner" under /proc/bus/usb/devices.  If
+"Driver=(none)", try forcing it with "insmod scanner vendor=0x04a9 product=0x2204"
+.SH NOTES
+.PP
+Due to Canon's unwillingness to provide scanner documentation, this
+software was developed by analyzing the USB traffic of the Windows
+2000 driver.  So things like the calibration procedure I kind of made up;
+it seems to work for my scanner.  If you have complaints, let me know.
+.PP
+This driver requires the ability to send USB Control Messages, available in
+kernel 2.4.12 or later. 
+.PP
+Some users have reported that this driver doesn't work at all.  This seems
+to be a hardware specific issue, although I don't know what exactly the
+problem is.  If you are having problems, please send me the info in
+/proc/bus/usb/devices, /proc/pci, the kernel scanner.c driver version from
+/var/log/messages, and the output from "SANE_DEBUG_CANON630U=12 scanimage > /dev/null"

+is searched in two default directories: first, the current working
+directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the
+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified

+.SH NAME
+sane\-canon_dr \- SANE backend for Canon DR-series scanners
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The 
+.B sane\-canon_dr
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which
+provides access to some Canon DR-series scanners.
+
+This document describes backend version 41, which shipped with SANE 1.0.24.
+
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+This version has only been tested with a few scanner models. Please see 
+http://www.sane\-project.org/sane\-supported\-devices.html for the most recent 
+list.
+
+This backend may support other Canon scanners. The best
+way to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly,
+or to collect a trace of the windows driver in action.
+Please contact the author for help or with test results.
+
+In general, the larger machines (DR-4000 and up) which have been tested use
+a fairly complete protocol, with hardware support for many modes, resolutions 
+and features. The smaller machines have many limitations, like missing 
+horizontal resolutions, missing binary mode, always scanning full-width, etc.
+There is code in the backend to address these problems, but there seems to be
+no way to detect if they are required, so they must be hard-coded.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+Effort has been made to expose most hardware options, including:
+.PP
+source s 
+.RS
+Selects the source for the scan. Options
+may include "Flatbed", "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex".
+.RE
+.PP
+mode m 
+.RS
+Selects the mode for the scan. Options
+may include "Lineart", "Halftone", "Gray", and "Color".
+.RE
+.PP
+resolution 
+.RS
+Controls scan resolution.

+tl\-x, tl\-y, br\-x, br\-y
+.RS
+Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are renamed 
+t, l, x, y by some frontends.
+.RE
+.PP
+page\-width, page\-height
+.RS
+Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan

+.PP
+Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scanner:

+.PP
+Additionally, several 'software' options are exposed by the backend. These
+are reimplementations of features provided natively by larger scanners, but
+running on the host computer. This enables smaller machines to have similar
+capabilities. Please note that these features are somewhat simplistic, and 
+may not perform as well as the native implementations. Note also that these 
+features all require that the driver cache the entire image in memory. This 
+will almost certainly result in a reduction of scanning speed.
+.PP

+Requests the driver to detect the extremities of the paper within the larger 
+image, and crop the empty edges. 
+.RE

+image, and counter the rotation.
+.RE
+.PP
+swdespeck X 
+.RS
+Requests the driver to find and remove dots of X diameter or smaller from the

+.RE
+
+Use 'scanimage \-\-help' to get a list, but be aware that some options may 
+be settable only when another option has been set, and that advanced options 
+may be hidden by some frontend programs.
+.PP
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file "canon_dr.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look
+for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend.
+This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list 
+of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the configuration
+file is missing, the backend will fail to run.
+.PP
+Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 4 ways:
+.PP
+"scsi CANON DR"
+.RS
+Requests backend to search all scsi busses in the system for a device 
+which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'CANON', with a model name
+starting with 'DR'. 
+.RE
+.PP
+"scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file)
+.RS
+Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if you have
+multiple compatible scanners connected to your system, and need to
+specify one. Probably should not be used with the other "scsi" line above.
+.RE
+.PP
+"usb 0x04a9 0x1603" (or other vendor/product ids)
+.RS
+Requests backend to search all usb busses in the system for a device 
+which uses that vendor and product id. The device will then be queried
+to determine if it is a Canon scanner.
+.RE
+.PP
+"usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file)
+.RS
+Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This method is untested.
+.RE
+.PP
+Besides the 'scsi' and 'usb' lines, the configuration file supports the 
+following 'option' lines:
+.PP
+"option buffer-size [number of bytes]"
+.RS
+Set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other than the 
+compiled\-in default of 4MB. Large values may cause timeouts or hangs, small
+values may cause slow scans.
+.PP
+Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some users
+required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not recommended,
+and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You have been
+warned.
+.RE
+.PP
+"option vendor-name [string of text]"
+.br
+"option model-name [string of text]"
+.br
+"option version-name [string of text]"
+.RS
+These options can be used collectively to override the values provided by the 
+scanner, or to provide the values when the scanner cannot.
+.RE
+.PP
+"option padded-read [0|1]"
+.RS
+Some scanners prepend all data transmitted to host with 12 bytes. Enable this option if the scanner fails to respond to commands.
+.RE
+.PP
+"option duplex-offset [integer]"
+.RS
+Some scanners pad the upper edge of one side of a duplex scan. There is some variation in the amount of padding. Modify this option if your unit shows an unwanted band of image data on only one side.
+.RE
+.PP
+Note: 'option' lines may appear multiple times in the configuration file.
+They only apply to scanners discovered by the next 'scsi/usb' line.
+.PP
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_CANON_DR, which
+enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:
+.PP
+.RS
+5  Errors
+.br
+10 Function trace
+.br
+15 Function detail

+driver. Various advanced features of the machines may not be enabled. Many
+machines have not been tested. Their protocol is unknown.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-canon_pp \- SANE backend for Canon CanoScan Parallel Port flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-canon_pp
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides 
+access to the following Canon flatbed scanners:
+.PP
+.RS
+CanoScan FB320P
+.br

+.br
+.RE
+.PP
+No USB scanners are supported and there are no plans to support them in the 
+future.  Other projects are working on support for USB scanners. See the 
+.B PROJECTS 
+file for more detail.  The FB310P and FB610P are re-badged Avision scanners
+which use a different command set, so are unlikely to be supported by this 
+backend in the future.
+.PP
+IMPORTANT: this is alpha code. While we have made every effort to make it as
+reliable as possible, it will not always work as expected.  Feedback is still
+appreciated.  Please send any bug reports to the maintainers as listed on the
+web page (listed in
+.B SEE ALSO
+below).
+.PP
+.
+.PP
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form presented by libieee1284.  These 
+names are highly dependent on operating system and version.
+
+On Linux 2.4 kernels this will be of the form 
+.I "parport0"
+or older (2.2 and before) kernels may produce names like 
+.IR "0x378"
+(the base address of your port) or simply 
+.IR "0"
+depending on your module configuration.  Check the contents of 
+.I /proc/parport
+if it exists.  If you don't want to specify a default port (or don't know its 
+name), the backend should be able to detect which port your scanner is on.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I canon_pp.conf
+file is a list of options for the driver to use.  Empty lines and lines 
+starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.
+.PP
+The supported options are currently
+.BR ieee1284 ,
+.BR calibrate ,
+.BR init_mode ,
+and 
+.BR force_nibble
+
+Option
+.B ieee1284 
+.IR port-name
+defines which port to use.  The format of port-name is OS dependent, based on 
+the names presented by libieee1284.  Please only have one of these lines, or
+all but one will be ignored.
+
+Option 
+.B calibrate 
+.IR cal-file 
+.IR [port-name]
+defines which calibration file to use on a per-port basis.  If you only have 
+one parport, the port-name argument may be omitted \- but be careful as this 
+will cause problems on multi-scanner systems.  You may have as many of these
+lines as you like, as long as each has a unique port name.  The tilde (`~') 
+character is acceptable and will be expanded to the value of the HOME 
+environment.
+
+Option 
+.B init_mode
+.IR <AUTO|FB620P|FB630P>
+.IR [portname]
+defines which initialisation (wake-up) mode to use on a per-port basis.  
+If you only have one parport, the portname argument may be omitted \- but 
+be careful as this may cause problems on multi-scanner systems.  
+You may have as many of these lines as you like, as long as each has a unique 
+port name.  The valid initialisation modes are FB620P (which strobes 10101010 
+and 01010101 on the data pins), FB630P (which strobes 11001100 and 00110011 
+on the data pins) and AUTO, which will try FB630P mode first then FB620P mode
+second.  The FB620P mode is also used by the FB320P.  The FB630P mode is used
+by the FB330P, N340P, and N640P.
+
+Option
+.B force_nibble
+forces the driver to use nibble mode even if ECP mode is reported to work by 
+libieee1284.  This works-around the rare issue of ECP mode being reported to 
+work by the library, then not working.
+
+.SH TIPS
+.PP
+Hit the "Calibrate" button before scanning.  It vastly improves the quality of 
+scans.
+.PP
+To enable automatic detection of your scanner, uncomment the "canon_pp" line 
+from
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/dll.conf
+.PP
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/canon_pp.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-canon_pp.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-canon_pp.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support 
+dynamic loading).
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may contain 
+the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are separated by a colon 
+(`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a semi-colon (`;').  If this variable
+is not set, the configuration file is searched in two default directories: 
+first, the current working directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the 
+value of the environment variable ends with the directory separator character,
+then the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified 
+directories.  For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_CANON_PP
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment 
+variable controls the debug level for this backend.  Higher debug levels 
+increase the verbosity of the output.
+
+Example: 
+export SANE_DEBUG_CANON_PP=4
+.SH NOTES
+.B Features available in the Windows interface
+.TP
+.B Brightness and Contrast 
+These are not implemented, and probably never will be.  These appear to be 
+implemented entirely in software.  Use GIMP or a similar program if you need 
+these features.
+.TP
+.B Descreen Mode
+This appears on our first analysis to be just oversampling with an 
+anti-aliasing filter.  Again, it seems to be implemented entirely in software,
+so GIMP is your best bet for now.
+.TP
+.B Gamma Tables
+This is under investigation, but for now only a simple gamma profile (ie: the
+one returned during calibration) will be loaded.
+.PP
+.B Communication Problems
+.PP
+ECP mode in libieee1284 doesn't always work properly, even with new hardware.  
+We believe that this is a ppdev problem.  If you change the configuration file
+to include 
+.B force_nibble
+, the problem will go away, but you will only be able to scan in nibble mode.
+.PP
+Sometimes the scanner can be left in a state where our code cannot revive it.
+If the backend reports no scanner present, try unplugging the power and 
+plugging it back in.  Also try unplugging printers from the pass-through port.
+.PP
+The scanner will not respond correctly to our commands when you first plug in 
+the power.  You may find if you try a scan very soon after plugging in the 
+power that the backend will incorrectly report that you have no scanner present.
+To avoid this, give it about 10 seconds to reset itself before attempting any 
+scans.
+.PP
+.B Repeated Lines
+.PP
+Sometimes at high resolutions (ie. 600dpi) you will notice lines which appear
+twice.  These lines correspond to points where the scanner head has stopped
+during the scan (it stops every time the internal 64kb buffer is full).  
+Basically it's a mechanical problem inside the scanner, that the tolerance of
+movement for a start/stop event is greater than 1/600 inches.  I've never tried
+the windows driver so I'm not sure how (or if) it works around this problem, 
+but as we don't know how to rewind the scanner head to do these bits again, 
+there's currently no nice way to deal with the problem.
+.PP
+.B Grey-scale Scans
+.PP
+Be aware that the scanner uses the green LEDs to read grey-scale scans, meaning 
+green coloured things will appear lighter than normal, and red and blue 
+coloured items will appear darker than normal.  For high-accuracy grey-scale 
+scans of colour items, it's best just to scan in colour and convert to 
+grey-scale in graphics software such as the GIMP.
+.PP
+.B FB620P/FB320P Caveats
+.PP
+These models can not be reset in the same way as the others.  The windows driver
+doesn't know how to reset them either \- when left with an inconsistent scanner, 
+it will start scanning half way down the page!
+.PP
+Aborting is known to work correctly on the FB*30P models, and is known to be
+broken on the FB*20P models.  The FB620P which I tested on simply returns 
+garbage after a scan has been aborted using the method we know.  
+Aborting is able to leave the scanner in a state where it can be shut down, 
+but not where another scan can be made.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-cardscan \- SANE backend for Corex CardScan usb scanners
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The 
+.B sane\-cardscan
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which
+provides access to the Corex CardScan 800c & 600c small-format scanners.
+
+The backend supports only grayscale and color modes and media of 
+(theoretically) infinite length.
+
+This backend may support other scanners. The best
+way to determine level of support is to get a trace of the windows 
+driver in action, and send it to the author.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+The cardscan backend supports the following options:
+.PP
+mode m
+.RS
+Selects the mode for the scan. Options are "Gray" and "Color".
+.RE
+.PP
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file "cardscan.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look
+for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend.
+This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list 
+of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the configuration
+file is missing, the backend will use a set of compiled defaults, which
+are identical to the default configuration file shipped with SANE.
+.PP
+Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 2 ways:
+.PP
+"usb 0x04c5 0x1042" (or other vendor/product ids)
+.RS
+Requests backend to search all usb busses in the system for a device 
+which uses that vendor and product id. The device will then be queried
+to determine if it is a cardscan scanner.
+.RE
+.PP
+"usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file)
+.RS
+Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This method is untested.
+.RE
+
+Additionally, there are two configuration options that control the protocol
+used by the backend:
+
+.PP
+"lines_per_block 16" (or other number from 1 to 32)
+.RS
+Controls the number of lines of image data which will be aquired in each pass.
+Older scanners will require this number set lower, often 1.
+.RE
+.PP
+"has_cal_buffer 1" (1 or 0)
+.RS
+Causes the backend to get calibration data from scanner during initialization.
+Older scanners do not support this request, and must be set to 0.
+.RE
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_CARDSCAN, which
+enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:
+.PP
+.RS
+5  Errors
+.br
+10 Function trace
+.br
+15 Function detail
+.br

+.br
+25 SCSI/USB trace
+.br
+30 SCSI/USB detail
+.br
+35 Useless noise
+.RE
+
+.SH KNOWN ISSUES
+.PP
+.RS
+The scanner does not seem to have much control possible, so the backend
+cannot set x/y coordinate values, resolutions, etc. These things could
+be simulated in the backend, but there are plenty of command line tools.
+.br
+.br
+The backend also does not send all the commands that the windows driver

+.SH NAME
+sane\-coolscan \- SANE backend for Nikon film-scanners
+
+.SH ABOUT THIS FILE
+
+This file is a short description of the coolscan-backend for sane! 
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+The
+.B sane\-coolscan
+library implements a SANE backend that provides the interface to the following Nikon Coolscan Film scanners: Nikon LS20, LS30, LS1000, LS2000.
+
+.B Even though the backend has worked for a number of people, there are still some problems, especially in combination with some SCSI card/drivers (AHA-1505/aha152x.o) and the autofocus command. You should consider this backend 'alpha' and be careful when using it the first time.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+
+The configuration file for this backend resides in 
+.IR @CONFIGDIR@/coolscan.conf .
+
+Its contents is a list of device names that correspond to Nikon Coolscan scanners. Empty lines
+and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is
+shown below: 
+
+.nf
+ #scsi Vendor Model Type 
+ scsi Nikon * Scanner 
+ /dev/scanner 
+.fi
+
+The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.
+To find out to which device your scanner is assigned and how you have to set the
+permissions of that device, have a look at sane\-scsi. 
+
+.SH SCSI ADAPTER TIPS
+
+Some SCSI-adapters and low-level SCSI drivers do not work correctly with this backend and the
+Coolscan scanners. These systems hang when the autofocus command is send to the Scanner.
+To see a list of which card/driver combinations work or dont work have a look at:
+http://andreas.rick.free.fr/sane/autofocus.html.

+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-coolscan.a
+.TP
+The shared library implementing this backend:
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-coolscan.so
+(present on systems that support dynamic loading)
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment
+variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g., a value of 128
+requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity:
+SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN values
+
+Examples:
+
+on bash:
+.br
+export SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN=8
+
+on csh:
+.br
+setenv SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN 8
+
+.SH BUGS
+
+The autofocus command does not work with some SCSI card/driver combinations
+.PP
+The gamma table is not implemented for the LS1000 yet.
+.PP
+The dust-removal is not working yet

+
+.SH OPTIONS
+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.
+
+Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using 
+.RS
+scanimage \-\-help \-d coolscan2:<interface>:<device>
+.RE
+where <interface> and <device> specify the device in question, as in the
+configuration file (see next section). The \-d parameter and its argument
+can be omitted to obtain information on the first scanner identified. Use
+the command
+.RS
+scanimage \-L
+.RE
+to list all devices recognized by your SANE installation.
+
+The options should be fully described by the description or tooltips given by
+frontend. Here is a description of some of the most important options, in the
+syntax with which they must be supplied to scanimage:
+.TP
+.I \-\-frame <n>
+This option specifies which frame to operate on, if a motorized film strip
+feeder or APS adapter are used. The frame number
+.I <n>
+ranges from 1 to the number of frames available, which is sensed each time
+the backend is initialized (usually each time you start the frontend).
+.TP
+.I \-\-subframe <x>
+This option shifts the scan window by the specified amount (default
+unit is mm).
+.TP
+.I \-\-infrared=yes/no
+If set to "yes", the scanner will read the infrared channel, thus allowing
+defect removal in software. The infrared image is read during a second scan,
+with no options altered. The backend must not be restarted between the scans. 
+If you use scanimage, perform a batch scan with batch\-count=2 to obtain the
+IR information.
+.TP
+.I \-\-depth <n>
+Here <n> can either be 8 or the maximum number of bits supported by the
+scanner (10, 12, or 14). It specifies whether or not the scanner reduces
+the scanned data to 8 bits before sending it to the backend. If 8 bits are
+used, some information and thus image quality is lost, but the amount of data
+is smaller compared to higher depths. Also, many imaging programs and image
+formats cannot handle depths greater than 8 bits.
+.TP
+.I \-\-autofocus
+Perform autofocus operation. Unless otherwise specified by the other options (
+.I \-\-focus\-on\-centre
+and friends), focusing is performed on the centre of the selected scan area.
+.TP
+.I \-\-ae\-wb
+.TP
+.I \-\-ae
+Perform a pre-scan to calculate exposure values automatically.
+.I \-\-ae\-wb
+will maintain the white balance, while
+.I \-\-ae
+will adjust each channel separately.
+.TP
+.I \-\-exposure
+Multiply all exposure times with this value. This allows exposure
+correction without modifying white balance.
+.TP
+.I \-\-load
+Load the next slide when using the slide loader.
+.TP
+.I \-\-eject
+Eject the film strip or mounted slide when using the slide loader.
+.TP
+.I \-\-reset
+Reset scanner. The scanner will perform the same action as when power is
+turned on: it will eject the film strip and calibrate itself. Use this
+whenever the scanner refuses to load a film strip properly, as a result of
+which
+.I \-\-eject
+does not work.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file @CONFIGDIR@/coolscan2.conf specifies the device(s)
+that the backend will use. Owing to the nature of the supported connection
+types SCSI, USB, and IEEE 1394, the default configuration file supplied with
+the SANE distribution should work without being edited.
+
+Each line in the configuration file is either of the following, where all
+entries are case-sensitive:
+.TP
+.I blank or starting with a '#' character
+These lines are ignored, thus '#' can be used to include comments.
+.TP
+.I containing only the word """auto"""
+This instructs the backend to probe for a scanner by scanning the buses for
+devices with know identifiers. This is the action taken when no
+configuration file is present.
+.TP
+.I a line of the form <interface>:<device>
+Here <interface> can be one of "scsi" or "usb", and <device> is the device
+file of the scanner. Note that IEEE 1394 devices are handled by the SBP-2
+module in the kernel and appear to SANE as SCSI devices.
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP

+initialized.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN2
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
+environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.  E.g.,
+a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.  Smaller
+levels reduce verbosity.
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+sane\-scsi(5), sane\-usb(5), scanimage(1), xscanimage(1), xsane(1)
+
+.SH BUGS
+Currently, the SANE protocol does not allow automatically updating options
+whenever the hardware changes. Thus the number of choices for the
+.B \-\-frame
+option will be fixed when the backend is initialized (usually when the user
+runs the frontend). In particular, if there is no film strip in the
+automatic film strip feeder when the backend is initialized, the frame option
+will not appear at all. Also, restarting the frontend after swapping film
+adapters is strongly recommended.
+
+Linux kernels prior to 2.4.19 had a patch that truncated INQUIRY data
+from IEEE 1394 scanners to 36 bytes, discarding vital information
+about the scanner. The IEEE 1394 models therefore only work with

+.IX sane\-dll
+.SH NAME
+sane\-dll \- SANE dynamic backend loader
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-dll
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to an arbitrary number of other SANE backends.  These
+backends may either be pre-loaded at the time the
+.B sane\-dll
+library is built or, on systems that support dynamic loading of shared
+libraries, the backends may be loaded at runtime.  In the latter case,
+adding support for a new backend simply involves installing the
+relevant library in
+.I @LIBDIR@
+and adding an entry to the
+.I dll.conf
+configuration file.  In other words, no applications need to be
+modified or recompiled to add support for new devices.
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.IR backend : device
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I backend
+is the name of the backend and
+.I device
+is the name of the device in this backend that should be addressed.
+If the device name does not contain a colon (:), then the entire string
+is treated as the
+.I device
+string for the default backend.  The default backend is the backend
+listed last in the configuration file (see below) or the first
+pre-loaded backend (if any).
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I dll.conf
+file is a list of backend names that may be loaded dynamically upon demand.
+Empty lines are ignored, also everything after a hash mark (#). A sample
+configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+net
+.br
+# this is a comment
+.br
+pnm
+.br
+mustek
+.RE
+.PP
+It is also possible to add a file in
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/dll.d
+that contains the list of backends to be added. Backends mentioned in a 
+file included in this directory will be added before any backends listed 
+in 
+.I dll.conf.
+Files in 
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/dll.d
+can be freely named. They shall follow the format conventions as apply for
+.I dll.conf.
+
+.PP
+Note that backends that were pre-loaded when building this library do
+not have to be listed in this configuration file.  That is, if a
+backend was preloaded, then that backend will always be present,
+regardless of whether it's listed in the configuration file or not.
+.PP
+The list of preloaded backends is determined by macro
+.B PRELOADABLE_BACKENDS
+in file backend/Makefile.in of the SANE source code distribution.  After
+changing the value of this macro, it is necessary to reconfigure, rebuild,
+and reinstall SANE for the change to take effect.
+
+Aliases are defined in the config file 
+.IR dll.aliases .
+It can contain entries of the form
+.PP
+.RS
+.br
+alias SomeName SaneDeviceName
+.br
+alias "Some Name" SaneDeviceName
+.br
+hide SaneDeviceName
+.RE
+.PP
+For example:
+
+.PP
+.RS
+.br
+alias Epson net:somehost:epson:/dev/sgX
+.br
+alias "Siemens ST400" st400:/dev/sgY
+.br
+hide net:somehost:pnm:0
+.br
+hide net:somehost:pnm:1
+.br
+alias "Read from file" pnm:0
+.br
+hide pnm:1
+.RE
+.PP
+
+Aliased device names are automatically hidden.
+
+The idea is that users don't have to deal with complicated device
+names (especially for networked devices), and to hide other exported
+devices which might confuse them. Note that a hidden device can still
+be accessed if the device name is known, it just doesn't appear on the
+list.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-dmc \- SANE backend for the Polaroid Digital Microscope Camera
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-dmc
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to the Polaroid Digital Microscope Camera.
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corresponds to the
+scanner.  The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a
+symlink to such a device.  Under Linux, such a device name could be
+.I /dev/sga
+or
+.IR /dev/sge ,
+for example.
+.SH IMAGING MODES
+The Polaroid DMC supports a number of imaging modes.  This driver supports
+five of the imaging modes:
+.PP
+.TP
+.B Full Frame
+This mode corresponds to the 801-by-600 pixel full-color full-frame image.
+.TP
+.B Viewfinder
+This mode corresponds to the 270-by-201 pixel grey-scale viewfinder image.
+This image is acquired very quickly.
+.TP
+.B Raw
+This mode corresponds to the 1599-by-600 pixel "raw" image from the
+CCD.  It is grey-scale, with pixels alternating horizontally between
+red, green and blue stripes.  The pixels are twice as high as they are
+wide, so the image is distorted.
+.TP
+.B Thumbnail
+This mode corresponds to the 80-by-60 pixel full-color thumbnail image.
+.TP
+.B Super Resolution
+This image is a 1599-by-1200 pixel full-color image constructed by filtering
+and interpolating the "raw" image.  The filtering and interpolation is
+done in software, so this mode is very slow.  Also, this mode places
+restrictions on how the image is read which means that the "preview" mode
+of xscanimage does not work in Super Resolution mode.  (xcam and the
+non-preview modes of scanimage and xscanimage work fine, however.)
+.PP
+.SH OTHER SETTINGS
+.TP
+.B ASA Setting
+This setting adjusts the camera's sensitivity.  You can choose one of
+25, 50, or 100 "equivalent" ASA.
+.TP
+.B Shutter Speed
+You can select a shutter speed from 8 to 1000 milliseconds.  The shutter
+speed is quantized in units of 32 microseconds.
+.TP
+.B White Balance
+You can choose one of "Daylight", "Incandescent" or "Fluorescent"
+white balances.  This setting more-or-less corresponds to the
+"Color Temperature" settings on Polaroid's Windows and Mac software.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I dmc.conf
+file is a list of device names that correspond to DMC
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+/dev/scanner
+.br
+# this is a comment
+.br
+/dev/sge
+.RE
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/dmc.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-dmc.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-dmc.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
+support dynamic loading).
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are
+separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a
+semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file
+is searched in two default directories: first, the current working
+directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the
+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
+directories.  For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_DMC
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
+environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.  E.g.,
+a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.  Smaller
+levels reduce verbosity.
+.SH BUGS
+In the "Full Frame" and "Raw" modes, images must be read in units
+of entire lines.  The driver performs no buffering in these modes;
+if you ask sane_read to read a non-integral number of lines, it
+may read less than you ask for.  If you ask sane_read to read
+less than a single line, it returns SANE_STATUS_INVAL.
+.PP
+In the "Super Resolution" mode, images must be read in units of
+\fItwo\fR lines (3198 pixels or 9594 bytes.)  If you try to read less
+than two lines, you get SANE_STATUS_INVAL.  The Super Resolution mode
+is very slow.
+.PP
+In the "Viewfinder" and "Thumbnail" modes, the entire image must
+be read in one SCSI transfer.  In this case, the driver performs
+buffering and you can read the image in as small an increment as you
+like.

+.TH sane\-epjitsu 5 "09 Feb 2010" "@PACKAGEVERSION@" "SANE Scanner Access Now Easy"
+.IX sane\-epjitsu
+
+.SH NAME
+sane\-epjitsu \- SANE backend for Epson-based Fujitsu USB scanners.
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The 
+.B sane\-epjitsu
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which provides basic access the Fujitsu fi\-60F and ScanSnap S300/S1300 scanners.
+
+.SH HARDWARE SUPPORT
+These scanners are fairly limited, only supporting a couple of modes and resolutions, and always scanning full width. The backend supports missing modes (binary, grayscale) in software, but makes no effort to offer intermediate resolutions or scan area controls. See 
+.B KNOWN ISSUES.
+
+This backend may support other scanners. If physical inspection reveals an Epson chipset, please contact the author for instructions on collecting a USB trace under Windows to verify.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+A limited effort has been made to expose the standard options to the API.  This allows a frontend to set resolution, color mode, and choose the ADF setting. The epjitsu backend supports the following basic options for most scanners:
+.PP
+source s 
+.RS
+Selects the source for the scan. Options may include "Flatbed", "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex".
+.RE
+.PP
+mode m 
+.RS
+Selects the mode for the scan. Options may include "Lineart", "Gray", "Color".
+.RE
+.PP
+resolution, y\-resolution
+.RS
+Controls scan resolution. Setting \-\-resolution also sets \-\-y\-resolution, though this behavior is overridden by some frontends.
+.RE
+.PP
+Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scanner. Use 'scanimage \-\-help' to get a list. Be aware that some options may appear only when another option has been set, and that advanced options may be hidden by the frontend.
+.PP
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file "@CONFIGDIR@/epjitsu.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend. This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the configuration file is missing, the backend will not work.
+.PP
+Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in two ways:
+.PP
+"usb 0x04c5 0x10c7" (or other vendor/product ids)
+.RS
+Requests backend to search all usb busses in the system for a device which uses that vendor and product id. The device will then be queried to determine if it is a supported scanner.
+.RE
+.PP
+"usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file)
+.RS
+Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This method is untested.
+.RE
+.PP
+The only configuration option supported is "firmware /PATH/TO/FILE", allowing you to set the location of the firmware file you have extracted from the Windows driver.
+.PP
+.B Note: 
+This firmware is a copyrighted work of Fujitsu, so cannot be provided by the backend or the author. Please do not ask.
+.PP
+.B Note: 
+These scanners REQUIRE a firmware file to function. See the supplied configuration file for more detail.
+.PP
+.B Note: 
+This option may appear multiple times in the configuration file. It only applies to scanners discovered by 'usb' lines that follow this option.
+.PP
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_EPJITSU, which enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:
+.PP
+.RS
+5  Errors
+.br
+10 Function trace
+.br
+15 Function detail
+.br
+20 Option commands
+.br
+25 USB trace
+.br
+30 USB detail
+.br
+35 Useless noise
+.RE
+
+.SH KNOWN ISSUES
+.PP
+.RS
+No scan area options are exposed.
+.br
+.br
+fi\-60F hardware grayscale mode is not used.
+.br
+.br
+The S1100 is not currently supported, but a patch is available.
+.RE
+
+.SH CREDITS

+.SH OPTIONS
+The options the backend supports can either be selected through command line
+options to programs like scanimage or through GUI elements in programs like
+xscanimage or xsane.
+
+Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using 
+.RS
+scanimage \-\-help \-d epson
+.RE
+Not all devices support all options.
+.TP
+.I Scan Mode
+The 
+.I \-\-mode 
+switch selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner. Valid choices
+are Binary, Gray and Color.  The Binary mode is black and white only,
+Gray will produce 256 levels of gray or more depending on the scanner
+and Color means 24 bit color mode or more depending on the scanner.
+Some scanners will internally use 36 bit color, their external interface
+however may only support 24 bits.
+
+The
+.I \-\-depth
+option selects the bit depth the scanner is using. This option is only
+available for scanners that support more than one bit depth. Older
+scanners will always transfer the image in 8bit mode. Newer scanners
+allow to select either 8 bits, 12 or 14 bits per color channel. For a
+color scan this means an effective color depth of 36 or 42 bits over
+all three channels. The valid choices depend on the scanner model.
+
+The
+.I \-\-halftoning
+switch selects the mode that is used in Binary mode. Valid options
+are "None", "Halftone A (Hard Tone)", "Halftone B (Soft Tone)", "Halftone C
+(Net Screen)", "Dither A (4x4 Bayer)", "Dither B (4x4 Spiral)", "Dither C
+(4x4 Net Screen)", "Dither D (8x4 Net Screen)", "Text Enhanced Technology",
+"Download pattern A", and "Download pattern B".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-dropout
+switch selects the so called dropout color. Vald options are None,
+Red, Green and Blue. The default is None. The dropout color is used for
+monochrome scanning and selects the color that is not scanned. This can
+be used to e.g. scan an original with a colored background.
+
+The
+.I \-\-brightness
+switch controls the brightness of the scan. Valid options are integer
+values from \-3 to 3. The default is 0. The larger the brightness value,
+the brighter the image gets. If a user defined table for the gamma
+correction is selected, the brightness parameter is not available.
+
+The
+.I \-\-sharpness
+switch sets the sharpness of the image data. Valid options are integer
+values from \-2 to 2, with \-2 meaning "Defocus", \-1 "Defocus slightly",
+0 "Normal", 1 "Sharpen slightly" and 2 "Sharpen".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-gamma\-correction
+switch controls the scanner's internal gamma correction. Valid options are
+"Default", "User defined", "High density printing" "Low density printing"
+and "High contrast printing".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-color\-correction
+switch controls the scanner's internal color correction function. Valid
+options are "No Correction", "Impact\-dot printers", "Thermal printers",
+"Ink\-jet printers" and "CRT monitors". The default is "CRT monitors".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-resolution
+switch selects the resolution for a scan. Some EPSON scanners will scan in
+any resolution between the lowest and highest possible value. The list
+reported by the scanner can be displayed using the "\-\-help \-d epson"
+parameters to scanimage.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-mirror
+option controls the way the image is scanned. By reading the image data
+from right to left the image is mirrored. Valid options are "yes" and
+"no". The default is "no".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-speed
+option can improve the scan speed in monochrome mode. Valid options are
+"yes" or "no", the "yes" option will speed up the scan if this option
+is supported.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-auto\-area\-segmentation 
+switch activates the automatic area segmentation for monochrome scans. The
+scanner will try to determine which areas are text and which contain
+images. The image areas will be halftoned, and the text will be
+improved. Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "yes".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-gamma\-table
+parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table. The option
+takes 256 values from the range 0-255. In color mode this option equally
+affects the red, green, and blue channel.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-red\-gamma\-table 
+parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
+red channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-green\-gamma\-table 
+parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
+green channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-blue\-gamma\-table 
+parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
+blue channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.
+
+The color correction coefficients
+.I \-\-cct\-1 \-\-cct\-2 \-\-cct\-3 ... \-\-cct\-9
+will install color correction coefficients for the user defined color
+correction. Values are specified as integers in the range \-127..127.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-preview
+option requests a preview scan. The frontend software automatically selects a low 
+resolution. Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "no".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-preview\-speed
+options will increase the scan speed if this is supported by the
+scanner. Valid options are "yes" and "no", the default is "no".
+
+
+The geometry options
+.I \-l \-t \-x \-y 
+control the scan area: \-l sets the top left x coordinate, \-t the top
+left y coordinate, \-x selects the width and \-y the height of the scan
+area. All parameters are specified in millimeters.
+
+The
+.I \-\-quick\-format
+option lets the user select a scan area with predefined sizes. Valid
+parameters are "CD", "A5 portrait", "A5 landscape", "Letter", "A4" and
+"max". The default is "max", which selects the largest possible area.
+
+The
+.I \-\-source
+option selects the scan source. Valid options depend on the installed
+options. The default is "Flatbed".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-auto\-eject
+option will eject a page after scanning from the document feeder. 
+
+The
+.I \-\-film\-type
+option will select the film type for scans with the transparency
+unit. This option is only activated if the TPU is selected as scan
+source. Valid options are "Negative Film" and "Positive Film".
+
+The
+.I \-\-focus\-position
+option selects the focus position for all scans. Valid options are "Focus
+2.5mm above glass" and "Focus on glass". The focus on the 2.5mm point
+above the glass is necessary for scans with the transparency unit, so
+that the scanner can focus on the film if one of the film holders is used.
+This option is only functional for selected scanners, all other scanners
+will ignore this option.
+
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file @CONFIGDIR@/epson.conf specifies the device(s) that the 
+backend will use. Possible connection types are:
+.TP
+.I SCSI
+This is the default, and if nothing else is specified the backend software will
+open a given path as SCSI device. More information about valid syntax for SCSI
+devices can be found in sane\-scsi(5).
+.br
+Usually SCSI scanners are configured with a line "scsi EPSON" in this file. In 
+some cases it may be necessary to only use the string "scsi" (e.g. for the GT-6500).
+.TP
+.I PIO \- Parallel Interface
+The parallel interface can be configured in two ways: An integer value starting
+at the beginning of a line will be interpreted as the IO address of the parallel
+port. To make it clearer that a configured IO address is a parallel port the 
+port address can be preceded by the string "PIO". The PIO connection does not
+use a special device file in the /dev directory. The IO address can be specified
+in hex mode (prefixed with "0x").
+.TP
+.I USB
+A device file that is preceded by the string "USB" is treated as a scanner 
+connected via the Universal Serial Bus. The correct special device file has

+.SH NAME
+sane\-epson2 \- SANE backend for EPSON scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-epson2
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to Epson flatbed scanners.  This library supports
+a similar set of scanners as the sane\-epson driver but was
+developed to support a wider range of connections to the scanner;
+include network access.
+.PP
+Because
+.B sane\-epson
+and 
+.B sane\-epson2 
+drivers support many of the same devices, if one
+driver gives you problems you may try disabling it to try the other.
+This can be done by removing the driver name from the 
+.I dll.conf
+or perhaps by commenting out the options in
+.I epson.conf
+or
+.I epson2.conf.
+.PP
+At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend:

+.SH OPTIONS
+The options the backend supports can either be selected through command line
+options to programs like scanimage or through GUI elements in programs like
+xscanimage or xsane.
+
+Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using 
+.RS
+scanimage \-\-help \-d epson2
+.RE
+Not all devices support all options.
+.TP
+.I Scan Mode
+The 
+.I \-\-mode 
+switch selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner. Valid choices
+are Binary, Gray and Color.  The Binary mode is black and white only,
+Gray will produce 256 levels of gray or more depending on the scanner
+and Color means 24 bit color mode or more depending on the scanner.
+Some scanners will internally use 36 bit color, their external interface
+however may only support 24 bits.
+
+The
+.I \-\-depth
+option selects the bit depth the scanner is using. This option is only
+available for scanners that support more than one bit depth. Older
+scanners will always transfer the image in 8bit mode. Newer scanners
+allow to select either 8 bits, 12 or 14 bits per color channel. For a
+color scan this means an effective color depth of 36 or 42 bits over
+all three channels. The valid choices depend on the scanner model.
+
+The
+.I \-\-halftoning
+switch selects the mode that is used in Binary mode. Valid options
+are "None", "Halftone A (Hard Tone)", "Halftone B (Soft Tone)", "Halftone C
+(Net Screen)", "Dither A (4x4 Bayer)", "Dither B (4x4 Spiral)", "Dither C
+(4x4 Net Screen)", "Dither D (8x4 Net Screen)", "Text Enhanced Technology",
+"Download pattern A", and "Download pattern B".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-dropout
+switch selects the so called dropout color. Vald options are None,
+Red, Green and Blue. The default is None. The dropout color is used for
+monochrome scanning and selects the color that is not scanned. This can
+be used to e.g. scan an original with a colored background.
+
+The
+.I \-\-brightness
+switch controls the brightness of the scan. Valid options are integer
+values from \-3 to 3. The default is 0. The larger the brightness value,
+the brighter the image gets. If a user defined table for the gamma
+correction is selected, the brightness parameter is not available.
+
+The
+.I \-\-sharpness
+switch sets the sharpness of the image data. Valid options are integer
+values from \-2 to 2, with \-2 meaning "Defocus", \-1 "Defocus slightly",
+0 "Normal", 1 "Sharpen slightly" and 2 "Sharpen".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-gamma\-correction
+switch controls the scanner's internal gamma correction. Valid options are
+"Default", "User defined", "High density printing" "Low density printing"
+and "High contrast printing".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-color\-correction
+switch controls the scanner's internal color correction function. Valid
+options are "No Correction", "Impact\-dot printers", "Thermal printers",
+"Ink\-jet printers" and "CRT monitors". The default is "CRT monitors".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-resolution
+switch selects the resolution for a scan. Some EPSON scanners will scan in
+any resolution between the lowest and highest possible value. The list
+reported by the scanner can be displayed using the "\-\-help \-d epson"
+parameters to scanimage.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-threshold
+switch selects the minimum brightness to get a white point.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-mirror
+option controls the way the image is scanned. By reading the image data
+from right to left the image is mirrored. Valid options are "yes" and
+"no". The default is "no".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-auto\-area\-segmentation 
+switch activates the automatic area segmentation for monochrome scans. The
+scanner will try to determine which areas are text and which contain
+images. The image areas will be halftoned, and the text will be
+improved. Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "yes".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-red\-gamma\-table 
+parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
+red channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-green\-gamma\-table 
+parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
+green channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-blue\-gamma\-table 
+parameter can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the
+blue channel. The valid options are the same as for \-\-gamma\-table.
+
+The
+.I --wait-for-button
+parameter can be used to wait until the button on the scanner is
+pressed to actually start the scan process.
+
+The color correction coefficients
+.I \-\-cct\-1 \-\-cct\-2 \-\-cct\-3 ... \-\-cct\-9
+will install color correction coefficients for the user defined color
+correction. Values are specified as integers in the range \-127..127.
+
+The 
+.I \-\-preview
+option requests a preview scan. The frontend software automatically selects a low 
+resolution. Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "no".
+
+The geometry options
+.I \-l \-t \-x \-y 
+control the scan area: \-l sets the top left x coordinate, \-t the top
+left y coordinate, \-x selects the width and \-y the height of the scan
+area. All parameters are specified in millimeters.
+
+The
+.I \-\-source
+option selects the scan source. Valid options depend on the installed
+options. The default is "Flatbed".
+
+The 
+.I \-\-auto\-eject
+option will eject a page after scanning from the document feeder. 
+
+The
+.I \-\-film\-type
+option will select the film type for scans with the transparency
+unit. This option is only activated if the TPU is selected as scan
+source. Valid options are "Negative Film" and "Positive Film".
+
+The
+.I \-\-focus\-position
+option selects the focus position for all scans. Valid options are "Focus
+2.5mm above glass" and "Focus on glass". The focus on the 2.5mm point
+above the glass is necessary for scans with the transparency unit, so
+that the scanner can focus on the film if one of the film holders is used.
+This option is only functional for selected scanners, all other scanners
+will ignore this option.
+
+The
+.I \-\-bay
+option selects which bay to scan
+
+The
+.I \-\-eject
+option ejects the sheet in the ADF.
+
+The
+.I \-\-adf-mode
+option select the ADF mode (simplex/duplex).
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file @CONFIGDIR@/epson2.conf specifies the device(s) that the 
+backend will use. Possible connection types are:
+.TP
+.I SCSI
+This is the default, and if nothing else is specified the backend software will
+open a given path as SCSI device. More information about valid syntax for SCSI
+devices can be found in sane\-scsi(5).
+.br
+Usually SCSI scanners are configured with a line "scsi EPSON" in this file. In 
+some cases it may be necessary to only use the string "scsi" (e.g. for the GT-6500).
+.TP
+.I PIO \- Parallel Interface
+The parallel interface can be configured in two ways: An integer value starting
+at the beginning of a line will be interpreted as the IO address of the parallel
+port. To make it clearer that a configured IO address is a parallel port the 
+port address can be preceded by the string "PIO". The PIO connection does not
+use a special device file in the /dev directory. The IO address can be specified
+in hex mode (prefixed with "0x").
+.TP
+.I USB
+For USB scanners not automatically detect, their VENDOR and PRODUCT ID can
+be specified manually in the config file.  
+More information about valid syntax for USB devices can be found in sane\-usb(5).
+.TP
+.I Network
+Network scanners can be auto-discovered if
+.I autodiscovery
+is specified after

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B sane\-find\-scanner

+.RB [ \-p ]
+.RB [ \-f ]
+.RB [ \-F 
+.IR filename ]
+.RI [ devname ]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+is a command-line tool to find SCSI and USB scanners and determine their Unix
+device files. Its primary aim is to make sure that scanners can be detected by
+SANE backends.
+.PP
+For 
+.B SCSI
+scanners, it checks the default generic SCSI device files (e.g., 
+.IR /dev/sg0 )
+and 
+.IR /dev/scanner .
+The test is done by sending a SCSI inquiry command and looking for a device
+type of "scanner" or "processor" (some old HP scanners seem to send
+"processor"). So 
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+will find any SCSI scanner connected to those default device files even if it
+isn't supported by any SANE backend.
+.PP
+For
+.B USB
+scanners, first the USB kernel scanner device files (e.g.
+.IR /dev/usb/scanner0 ),
+.IR /dev/usb/scanner ,
+and
+.IR /dev/usbscanner )
+are tested. The files are opened and the vendor and device ids are determined,
+if the operating system supports this feature. Currently USB scanners are only
+found this way if they are supported by the Linux scanner module or the
+FreeBSD or OpenBSD uscanner driver. After that test, 
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+tries to scan for USB devices found by the USB library libusb (if
+available). There is no special USB class for scanners, so the heuristics used
+to distinguish scanners from other USB devices is not
+perfect. 
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+also tries to find out the type of USB chip used in the scanner. If detected,
+it will be printed after the vendor and product ids.
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+will even find USB scanners, that are not supported by any SANE backend.
+.PP
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+won't find most 
+parallel port scanners, or scanners connected to proprietary ports. Some
+.B parallel port
+scanners may be detected by
+.B sane\-find\-scanner -p. 
+At the time of writing this will only detect Mustek parallel port scanners.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 8
+.B \-h, \-?
+Prints a short usage message.
+.TP 8
+.B \-v
+Verbose output. If used once, 
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+shows every device name and the test result.  If used twice, SCSI inquiry
+information and the USB device descriptors are also printed.
+.TP 8
+.B \-q
+Be quiet. Print only the devices, no comments.
+.TP 8
+.B \-p
+Probe parallel port scanners.
+.TP 8
+.B \-f
+Force opening all explicitly given devices as SCSI and USB devices. That's
+useful if 
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+is wrong in determining the device type.
+.TP 8
+.B \-F filename
+filename is a file that contains USB descriptors in the format of
+/proc/bus/usb/devices as used by Linux.
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+tries to identify the chipset(s) of all USB scanners found in such a file. This
+option is useful for developers when the output of "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices"
+is available but the scanner itself isn't.
+.TP 8
+.B devname
+Test device file "devname". No other devices are checked if devname is given.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.B sane\-find\-scanner \-v
+.br
+Check all SCSI and USB devices for available scanners and print a line for
+every device file.
+.PP
+.B sane\-find\-scanner /dev/scanner
+.br
+Look for a (SCSI) scanner only at /dev/scanner and print the result.
+.PP
+.B sane\-find\-scanner \-p
+.br
+Probe for parallel port scanners.

+.SH SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
+USB support is limited to Linux (kernel, libusb), FreeBSD (kernel,
+libusb), NetBSD (libusb), OpenBSD (kernel, libusb). Detecting the vendor and
+device ids only works with Linux or libusb.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-fujitsu \- SANE backend for Fujitsu flatbed and ADF scanners
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The 
+.B sane\-fujitsu
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which
+provides access to most Fujitsu flatbed and ADF scanners.
+
+This document describes backend version 117, which shipped with SANE 1.0.24.
+
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+This version supports every known model which speaks the Fujitsu SCSI and 
+SCSI\-over\-USB protocols. Specifically, the SCSI M309x and M409x series, the 
+SCSI fi\-series, most of the USB fi\-series, the USB ScanSnap S5xx/S15xx, and
+the USB iX5xx series scanners are supported. Please see the list at 
+http://www.sane\-project.org/sane\-supported\-devices.html for details.
+
+This backend may support other Fujitsu scanners. The best
+way to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly,
+or to collect a trace of the windows driver in action.
+Please contact the author for help or with test results.
+
+.SH UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE
+The following scanners are known NOT to work with this backend,
+either because they have a non\-fujitsu chipset, or an unsupported
+interface type. Some of these scanners may be supported by another
+backend.

+
+.SH OPTIONS
+Effort has been made to expose all hardware options, including:
+.PP
+source s 
+.RS
+Selects the source for the scan. Options
+may include "Flatbed", "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex".
+.RE
+.PP
+mode m 
+.RS
+Selects the mode for the scan. Options
+may include "Lineart", "Halftone", "Gray", and "Color".
+.RE
+.PP
+resolution, y\-resolution
+.RS
+Controls scan resolution. Setting \-\-resolution also sets \-\-y\-resolution, 
+though this behavior is overridden by some frontends.
+.RE
+.PP
+tl\-x, tl\-y, br\-x, br\-y
+.RS
+Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are renamed 
+t, l, x, y by some frontends.
+.RE
+.PP
+page\-width, page\-height
+.RS
+Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan
+coordinates when using ADF and to detect double feed errors.
+.RE
+.PP
+Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scanner:
+machines with IPC or DTC will have additional enhancement options, those
+with CMP will have compression options, those with a printer will have a
+group of endorser options.
+
+Additionally, several 'software' options are exposed by the backend. These
+are reimplementations of features provided natively by larger scanners, but
+running on the host computer. This enables smaller machines to have similar
+capabilities. Please note that these features are somewhat simplistic, and 
+may not perform as well as the native implementations. Note also that these 
+features all require that the driver cache the entire image in memory. This 
+will almost certainly result in a reduction of scanning speed.
+
+Use 'scanimage \-\-help' to get a list, but be aware that some options may 
+be settable only when another option has been set, and that advanced options 
+may be hidden by some frontend programs.
+.PP
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file "fujitsu.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look
+for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend.
+This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list 
+of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the configuration
+file is missing, the backend will be unable to locate any scanners.
+.PP
+Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 4 ways:
+.PP
+"scsi FUJITSU"
+.RS
+Requests backend to search all scsi busses in the system for a device 
+which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'FUJITSU'. 
+.RE
+.PP
+"scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file)
+.RS
+Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if you have
+multiple compatible scanners connected to your system, and need to
+specify one. Probably should not be used with the other "scsi" line above.
+.RE
+.PP
+"usb 0x04c5 0x1042" (or other vendor/product ids)
+.RS
+Requests backend to search all usb busses in the system for a device 
+which uses that vendor and product id. The device will then be queried
+to determine if it is a Fujitsu scanner.
+.RE
+.PP
+"usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file)
+.RS
+Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This method is
+untested.
+.RE
+.PP
+The only configuration option supported is "buffer\-size=xxx", allowing you
+to set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other than the 
+compiled\-in default, 65536 (64K). Some users report that their scanner will
+"hang" mid\-page, or fail to transmit the image if the buffer is not large
+enough.
+.PP
+Note: This option may appear multiple times in the configuration file. It only
+applies to scanners discovered by 'scsi/usb' lines that follow this option.
+.PP
+Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some users
+required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not recommended,
+and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You have been
+warned.
+.PP
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU, which
+enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:
+.PP
+.RS
+5  Errors
+.br
+10 Function trace
+.br
+15 Function detail
+.br
+20 Option commands
+.br
+25 SCSI/USB trace
+.br
+30 SCSI/USB writes
+.br
+31 SCSI/USB reads
+.br
+35 Useless noise
+.RE
+
+.SH KNOWN ISSUES
+Flatbed units may fail to scan at maximum area, particularly at
+high resolution.
+.PP
+Any model that does not support VPD during inquiry will not function until 
+an override is added to the backend.
+.PP
+CCITT Fax compression used by older scanners is not supported.
+.PP
+JPEG output is supported by the backend, but not by the SANE protocol, so is
+disabled in this release. It can be enabled if you rebuild from source.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+.B sane\-genesys
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
+access to USB flatbed scanners based on the Genesys GL646, GL841, GL843, GL847 and GL124 chips.
+At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend:

+.RE
+
+.PP 
+This is stable software for supported models. But if you test new or untested scanners, keep
+your hand at the scanner's plug and unplug it, if the head bumps at the end of
+the scan area.
+.PP 
+If you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with this
+backend, please let me know this by sending the scanner's exact model name and
+the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
+.IR /proc/bus/usb/devices ,
+.I sane\-find\-scanner
+or syslog) to the sane\-devel mailing list. Even if the scanner's name is only
+slightly different from the models mentioned above, please let me know.
+.PP 
+If you own a scanner that isn't detected by the genesys backend but has a GL646,
+GL841, GL843, GL847 or GL124 chipset, you can try to add it to the backend. 
+.PP 
+.SH "CALIBRATION"
+To give correct image quality, sheet fed scanners need to be calibrated using the
+calibration sheet sold with the scanner. To do calibration, you must insert this target
+in the feeder then start calibration either by passing the --calibrate option to scanimage
+or by clicking on the available 'calibrate' button in the 'advanced options' in a graphical
+frontend. The result of the calibration is stored in a file in the home directory of the user doing it.
+If you plug the scanner in another machine or use it with another account, calibration
+will have to be redone.
+
+.SH EXTRAS SCAN OPTIONS
+
+.B \-\-lamp\-off\-time number
+.RS
+        The lamp will be turned off after the given time (in minutes). A value of 0 means that the lamp won't be turned off.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-threshold percent
+.RS
+	0..100% (in steps of 1). Select minimum brightness to get a white point. Pixels
+whith brightness below that value will be scanned as black.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-brightness value
+.RS
+	-100..100 (in steps of 1). Set the brightness enhancement. 0 for no enhancement, negative
+values to decrease brigthness, and positive values to increase it.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-contrast value
+.RS
+	-100..100 (in steps of 1). Set the contrast enhancement. 0 for no enhancement, negative
+values to decrease contrast, and positive values to increase it.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-disable-interpolation yes|no
+.RS
+        When using high resolutions where the horizontal resolution is smaller than vertical resolution,
+data is expanded by software to preserve picture geometry. This can be disabled by this option to get
+real scanned data.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-disable-dynamic-lineart yes|no
+.RS
+        Disable use of a software adaptive algorithm to generate lineart and rely on hardware lineart.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-color-filter None|Red|Green|Blue
+.RS
+        When using gray or lineart this option selects the used color. Using a color filter
+will give a monochrome scan. CIS based scanners can to true gray when no filter (None value) is
+selected.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-lamp\-off\-scan
+.RS
+        The lamp will be turned off during the scan. Calibration is still done with lamp on.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-clear\-calibration
+.RS
+        Clear calibration cache data, triggering a new calibration for the device when the
+next scan will happen.
+.RE
+
+.B \-\-calibration\-file
+.RS
+        Specify the calibration file name to use. At least the directory containing the file
+must exist, since it won't be created. This allow to handle the case of several identical devices
+that would otherwise use the same calibration data. This option is disabled if the backend is ran
+as root.
+.RE
+
+.PP
+Additionally, several 'software' options are exposed by the backend. These
+are reimplementations of features provided natively by larger scanners, but
+running on the host computer. This enables smaller machines to have similar
+capabilities. Please note that these features are somewhat simplistic, and 
+may not perform as well as the native implementations. Note also that these 
+features all require that the driver cache the entire image in memory. This 
+will almost certainly result in a reduction of scanning speed.

+.RS
+	Requests the driver to detect the extremities of the paper within the larger 
+image, and crop the empty edges. 
+.RE

+.B \-\-swdeskew 
+.RS
+	Requests the driver to detect the rotation of the paper within the larger 
+image, and counter the rotation.
+.RE
+.PP
+.B \-\-swdespeck  \-\-despeck X
+.RS
+	Requests the driver to find and remove dots of X diameter or smaller from the 
+image, and fill the space with the average surrounding color.
+.RE

+.SH "SYSTEM ISSUES"
+This backend needs libusb-0.1.6 or later installed, and hasn't tested in other
+configuration than a linux kernel 2.6.9 or higher. However, it should work any
+system with libusb where the SANE package can be compiled. For
+setting permissions and general USB information look at
+.BR sane\-usb (5).
+
+
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+The contents of the
+.I genesys.conf
+file is a list of usb lines containing vendor and product ids that correspond
+to USB scanners. The file can also contain option lines.  Empty lines and
+lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.  The scanners are
+autodetected by
+.B usb vendor_id product_id
+statements which are already included into
+.IR genesys.conf .
+"vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify the
+scanner. 
+.PP 
+
+.SH "FILES"
+.TP

+.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
+.TP 
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are
+separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a
+semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file
+is searched in two default directories: first, the current working
+directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the
+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
+directories.  For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
+.TP 
+.B SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment
+variable controls the debug level for this backend.  Higher debug levels
+increase the verbosity of the output. If the debug level is set to 1 or higher,
+some debug options become available that are normally hidden. Handle them with
+care. This will print messages related to core genesys functions.
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_LOW
+This environment variable controls the debug level for low level functions
+common to all genesys ASICs.
+.TP 
+.B SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_GL646
+This environment variable controls the debug level for the specific GL646 code
+part.

+
+Powersaving isn't implemented for gl646 based scanner. Dynamic (emulated from gray data and with dithering) isn't enabled for gl646 scanners. Hardware lineart is limited up to 600 dpi for gl847 based scanners, due to the way image sensors are built.
+.br
+.TP
+This backend will be much slower if not using libusb-1.0. So be sure that sane-backends is built with the --enable-libusb_1_0 option.
+.br
+
+.SH "BUGS"
+For the LiDE 200, the scanned data at 4800 dpi is obtained "as is" from sensor. It seems the windows driver does some digital processing
+to improve it, which is not implemented in the backend.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-gphoto2 \- SANE backend for gphoto2 supported cameras
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-gphoto2
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to the digital cameras supported by gphoto2. 
+This backend has only been tested with a handful of cameras so far.  Patches
+to support other models are welcome.
+.PP
+Because of the limited testing of this backend, it is commented out
+in @CONFIGDIR@/dll.conf by default.  Either the comment
+character must be removed or the backend must be called explicitly.
+E.g. `scanimage \-d gphoto2' or `xscanimage gphoto2'.
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+The current version of the backend only allows one camera to be
+connected.  The device name is always "0".
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I gphoto2.conf
+specify the characteristics of the camera to be used.   Resolutions
+(high resolution, low resolution, and thumbnail size) are
+required since they are needed by the sane frontends, but can't be obtained
+through the gphoto2 interface.  Valid ports and cameras can be obtained
+by "gphoto2 \-\-list\-cameras" and "gphoto2 \-\-list\-ports".
+.PP
+The dumpinquiry line causes some information about the camera to 
+be printed.
+.PP
+Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+The "topfolder" line specifies the "fixed" part of the file path.  For 
+example, on the Kodak DC-240, files are stored in the directory 
+/DCIM/100DC240.  The /DCIM portion is constant, but 100DC240 will
+change and must be read from the camera.  In this case, the 
+line would read "topfolder=/DCIM"
+.PP
+Some cameras don't implement a file structure and store all pictures
+in the "/" directory.  This is indicated by setting "subdirs=0" with
+"topfolder=/"

+.SH NAME
+sane\-gt68xx \- SANE backend for GT-68XX based USB flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-gt68xx
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
+access to USB flatbed scanners based on the Grandtech GT-6801 and GT-6816
+chips.  A list of supported scanners can be found on the gt68xx backend
+homepage: 
+.IR http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx\-backend/ .
+.PP
+This is BETA software. Especially if you test new or untested scanners, keep
+your hand at the scanner's plug and unplug it, if the head bumps at the end of
+the scan area.
+.PP
+If you own a scanner other than the ones listed on the gt68xx homepage that works with this
+backend, please let me know this by sending the scanner's exact model name and
+the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
+.I sane\-find\-scanner
+or syslog) to me. Even if the scanner's name is only slightly different from
+the models already listed as supported, please let me know.
+.PP
+If you own a scanner that isn't detected by the gt68xx backend but has a GT-6801
+or GT-6816 chipset, you can try to add it to the backend. Have a look at the
+following web page: 
+.I http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx\-backend/adding.html
+.PP
+.SH LIBUSB ISSUES
+Please use libusb-0.1.8 or later. Without libusb or with older libusb versions
+all kinds of trouble can be expected. The scanner should be found by
+sane\-find\-scanner without further actions. For setting permissions and general
+USB information looks at
+.BR sane\-usb (5).
+.PP
+
+.SH FIRMWARE FILE
+You need a firmware file for your scanner. That's a small file containing
+software that will be uploaded to the scanner's memory. It's usually named
+*.usb, e.g. 
+.IR PS1fw.usb .
+It comes on the installation CD that was provided by the manufacturer, but it
+may be packaged together with the installation program in an .exe file. For
+Mustek scanners, the file can be downloaded from the gt68xx backend homepage. For
+other scanners, check the CD for .usb files. If you only find *.cab files, try
+cabextract to unpack. If everything else fails, you must install the Windows
+driver and get the firmware from there (usually in the
+.I windows/system
+or
+.I system32
+directories). Put that firmware file into
+.IR @DATADIR@/sane/gt68xx/ .
+Make sure that it's readable by everyone.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I gt68xx.conf
+file is a list of usb lines containing vendor and product ids that correspond
+to USB scanners. The file can also contain option lines.  Empty lines and
+lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.  The scanners are
+autodetected by
+.B usb vendor_id product_id
+statements which are already included into
+.IR gt68xx.conf .
+"vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify the
+scanner. 
+.PP
+The 
+.BR override ,
+.BR firmware ,
+.BR vendor ,
+.BR model ,
+and
+.B afe
+options must be placed after the
+.B usb
+line they refer to.
+.PP
+Option
+.B override
+is used to override the default model parameters. That's necessary for some
+scanners that use the same vendor/product ids but are different. For these
+scanners there are already commented out override lines in the configuration
+file. 
+.B override "mustek\-scanexpress\-1200\-ub\-plus"
+is necessary for the Mustek Scanexpress 1200 UB Plus, the
+Medion/Lifetec/Tevion LT 9452, and the Trust Compact Scan USB 19200.
+.B override "artec\-ultima\-2000"
+is used for the Artec Ultima 2000, the Boeder SmartScan Slim Edition, the
+Medion/ Lifetec/ Tevion/ Cytron MD/LT 9385, the Medion/ Lifetec/ Tevion MD
+9458, and the Trust Flat Scan USB 19200.
+.B override "mustek\-bearpaw\-2400\-cu"
+is necessary for the Mustek BearPaw 2400 CU and the Fujitsu 1200CUS. The
+.B override
+option must be the first one after the 
+.B usb
+line.
+.PP
+Option
+.B firmware
+selects the name and path of the firmware file. It's only necessary if the
+default (or override) doesn't work. The default firmware directory is
+.IR @DATADIR@/sane/gt68xx/ .
+You may need to create this directory. If you want to place the firmware files
+at a different path, use a
+.B firmware
+line.
+.PP
+The 
+.B vendor
+and
+.B model
+options are not absolutely necessary but for convenience. Quite a lot of
+scanners from different manufacturers share the same vendor/product ids so you
+can set the "correct" name here.
+.PP
+The
+.B afe
+option allows to set custom offset and gain values for the Analog FrontEnd of
+the scanner. This option can be either used to select the AFE values if
+automatic coarse calibration is disabled, or to make automatic coarse
+calibration faster. For the latter usage, enable debug level 3 (see below),
+scan an image and look for debug line string with "afe". Copy this line to
+.IR gt68xx.conf .
+The option has six parameters: red offset, red gain, green offset, green gain,
+blue offset, and blue gain.
+.PP

+Support for models 5100C/5200C connected to the parallel port requires
+the ppSCSI driver available at 
+.I http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/ppscsi.html
+and
+.IR http://penguin-breeder.org/kernel/download/ .
+
+.PP
+Support for models 5200C/62X0C/63X0C connected to the USB require
+the kernel scanner driver or libusb. See
+.BR sane\-usb (5)
+for more details.
+.PP
+The "hp" backend no longer supports OfficeJet multi-function peripherals.
+For these devices use the external "hpoj" backend in version 0.90 and later of
+the "HP OfficeJet Linux driver", available at 
+.br
+.IR http://hpoj.sourceforge.net
+.
+.PP
+Because Hewlett-Packard does no longer produce scanners that support
+SCL (beside the OfficeJets), the above list of supported scanners is
+complete.
+Other HP scanners are not supported by the "hp" backend, but might be supported
+by another one. See
+.IR http://www.sane\-project.org/ .
+You can also watch the sane\-devel mailing list at
+.IR http://www.sane\-project.org/mailing\-lists.html .
+.PP
+More details about the hp backend can be found on its homepage 
+.IR http://www.kirchgessner.net/sane.html .
+.PP
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corresponds to the
+scanner.  For SCSI scanners the special device name must be a generic SCSI
+device or a symlink to such a device.  Under Linux, such a device name could be
+.I /dev/sga
+or
+.IR /dev/sg2 ,
+for example. If the special device name contains "usb", "uscanner" or "ugen",
+it is assumed that the scanner is connected by USB.
+For the HP ScanJet Plus the special device name must be the device
+that corresponds to the parallel interface card that was shipped with the
+scanner. That is
+.IR /dev/hpscan .
+A special driver is required for this card.
+See ftp://rvs.ctrl\-c.liu.se/pub/wingel/hpscan for details. If the link
+does not work, try ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/patches/scanners.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I hp.conf
+file is a list of options and device names that correspond to HP ScanJet
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark
+(#) are ignored. See
+.BR sane\-scsi (5)
+and
+.BR sane\-usb (5)
+on details of what constitutes a valid device name.
+.PP
+Options specified in front of the first line that contains a device name 
+are defaults for all devices. Options specified below a line that
+contains a device name apply just to the most recently mentioned device.
+.PP
+Supported options are
+.BR connect\-scsi ,
+.BR connect\-device ,
+.BR enable\-image\-buffering ,
+and
+.BR dumb\-read .
+
+Option
+.B connect\-scsi
+specifies that the scanner is connected to the system by SCSI.
+Input/output is performed using SCSI-commands. This is the default.
+But if your SCSI device name contains "usb", "uscanner" or "ugen",
+option connect\-scsi must be specified. Otherwise it is assumed that
+the scanner is connected by USB.
+
+Option
+.B connect\-device
+specifies that the scanner is connected to the system by a special
+device. Input/output is performed by read()/write()-operations
+on the device. This option must be used for HP ScanJet Plus
+or scanners connected to USB which are accessed through a named device
+(e.g. /dev/usb/scanner0).
+For device names that contain "usb", "uscanner" or "ugen", it is not
+necessary to specify option connect\-device.
+
+Option
+.B enable\-image\-buffering
+stores the scanned image in memory before passing it to the frontend. Could be
+used in case of forward/backward moving scanner lamp.
+
+Option
+.B dumb\-read
+can be used to work around problems with "Error during device I/O". These
+problems may occur with certain SCSI-to-USB converters or Buslogic SCSI cards.
+The option should not be used for SCSI devices which are working correctly.
+Otherwise startup of frontends and changing parameters might be slower.

+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_HP
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
+environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.  E.g.,
+a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.  Smaller
+levels reduce verbosity.
+.TP
+.B SANE_HOME_HP
+Only used for OS/2 and along with use of HP PhotoSmart PhotoScanner.
+Must be set to the directory where the directory .sane is located. 
+Is used to save and read the calibration file.

+.TP
+.B SANE_HP_KEEPOPEN_USB
+.TP
+.B SANE_HP_KEEPOPEN_DEVICE
+For each type of connection (connect\-scsi, connect\-usb, connect\-device)
+it can be specified if the connection to the device should be kept open ("1")
+or not ("0").
+Usually the connections are closed after an operation is performed.
+Keeping connection open to SCSI-devices can result in errors during device IO
+when the scanner has not been used for some time. By default, USB-connections
+are kept open. Other connections are closed.
+.TP
+.B SANE_HP_RDREDO
+Specifies number of retries for read operation before returning an EOF error.
+Only supported for non-SCSI devices. Default: 1 retry. Time between retries
+is 0.1 seconds.
+
+.SH BUGS
+.TP
+.B HP PhotoSmart PhotoScanner
+In media mode 'slide' and 'negative', scan resolutions are rounded to
+multiple of 300 dpi. The scanner does not scale the data correctly
+on other resolutions. Some newer models (firmware code R030 and later)
+do not support adjustment of contrast/intensity level and tone map.
+The backend will simulate this by software, but only for gray
+and 24 bit color.
+.TP
+.B Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
+For use of the ADF with xscanimage(1), first place paper in the ADF and
+then change option scan source to 'ADF'. Press 'change document'
+to load a sheet. Then press 'scan' to start a scan. 
+Maybe it is sufficient to press 'scan' without 'change document'
+for repeated scans. The use of the preview window is not recommended
+when working with the ADF.
+Setting a window to scan from ADF is not supported with xscanimage(1).
+Try xsane(1).
+.TP
+.B Immediate actions
+Some actions in xscanimage(1) (i.e. unload, select media, calibrate)
+have an immediate effect on the scanner without starting a scan.
+These options can not be used with scanimage.
+
+.SH TODO
+.TP
+.B HP PhotoSmart PhotoScanner
+PhotoScanners with firmware release R030 and up have
+no firmware support for contrast/brightness/gamma table. In the current
+backend this is simulated by software on 24 bits data.
+Simulation on 30 bits should give better results.
+.TP
+.B Data widths greater than 8 bits
+Custom gamma table does not work.
+.TP
+.B Parallel scanner support
+Beside the ScanJet Plus which came with its own parallel interface card,
+currently only the HP ScanJet 5100C/5200C are supported.
+These scanners are using an internal parallel-to-SCSI converter which
+is supported by the ppSCSI-driver (see above).

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-hpsj5s
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to a parallel port Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5S scanner.
+.PP
+IMPORTANT: this is alpha code. Don't expect this to work
+correctly. Many functions are missing, others contain errors. In some
+cases, your computer might even hang. It cannot be excluded (although
+I consider it extremely improbable) that your scanner will be
+damaged.
+.PP
+LIMITATIONS: For now this backend works only on Linux.  This limitation
+is due to dependence on the libieee1284 library. If your system supports libieee1284 too,
+this backend should work. If you ported libieee1284 for your platform, please let
+me know. Your system should support
+.B EPP
+(or
+.B EPP+ECP
+) mode to operate this scanner. Future versions will support ECP and SPP
+(Nibble and Byte) modes also. It's planned to support scanners not only
+at daisy-chain position 0, but anywhere. Support for multiple scanners could
+be implemented too.
+.PP
+Current version implements only gray scale scanning. True Color and B/W modes are
+not supported for now.
+.PP
+That said, TESTERS ARE WELCOME. Send your bug reports and comments to
+Max Vorobiev <pcwizard@yandex.ru>.
+.PP
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the parallel port name in form, libieee1284 expects. It seems to be system dependent.
+Under Linux it's parport0, parport1, etc.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I hpsj5s.conf
+file is a list of parport names that correspond to HP ScanJet 5S
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  Only one device name can be listed in
+.IR hpsj5s.conf
+for this moment. Future versions will support daisy chain selection.
+
+.SH TIPS
+.PP
+It seems that HP ScanJet 5S scanner uses software noise correction. This
+feature is not implemented for now. So does gamma correction and calibration.
+I'll handle it in future versions.
+Native resolution for this scanner is 300 DPI. Other modes could be jagged in some

+.B SANE_DEBUG_HS2P
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this

+A value of 255 prints all debug output.  Smaller values reduce verbosity.
+
+.SH CURRENT STATUS
+The hs2p backend is now in version 1.00. All major scanning-related features
+are supported, except for those features requiring the optional IPU. Scanning
+from the flatbed or ADF (either simplex or duplex) is supported. Lineart,
+halftone, 4-bit gray, and 8-bit gray are supported. Pre-set gamma tables and
+halftone patterns are supported, as well as brightness, threshold, contrast.
+Also supported is scan wait mode, binary and gray filtering, negative scanning,
+and absolute or relative white setting. Printing with the optional endorser 
+also is supported.
+
+.SH PLANNED FUNCTIONALITY
+This scanner can scan from the ADF in continuous simplex mode. 
+Surprisingly, many scanners scan an entire document from the ADF
+into memory before ejecting the sheet. Thus if the document is too
+long, the scanner cannot hold the entire image data in memory. 
+But if the scanner would send its image data when its memory got full, 
+and then read the next buffer's worth of data, continuous scanning 
+could be achieved.  
+
+.SH MISSING FUNCTIONALITY
+The SCSI commands for uploading (2AH) or downloading (28H)
+custom halftone patterns (02H) and gamma vectors (03H) should work, 
+but require implementing the SANE Option-Value code to allow the 
+user to create the tables to be uploaded to the scanner. No support 
+for Maintenance Data (80H) is planned as this functionality is more 
+suited to a stand-alone utility to be used by a technician when 
+replacing the lamp or ADF unit. Nor is support for reading or changing 
+IPU (93H) parameters and adjustments planned, since my IS450 lacks
+such a unit. The 31-byte Auto Photo/Letter struct and 21-byte Dynamic 
+threshold struct are documented in the hs2p-scsi.h file should someone 
+wish to use their IPU for image data processing.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-kodak \- SANE backend for big Kodak flatbed and ADF scanners
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The 
+.B sane\-kodak
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which
+provides access to large Kodak flatbed and ADF scanners.
+
+This document describes backend version 7, which shipped with SANE 1.0.21.
+
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+This version should support models which speak the Kodak SCSI and Firewire 
+protocols. The i1860 was used to develop the backend, but other models may 
+work with only minimal modifications. Please see the list at 
+http://www.sane\-project.org/sane\-supported\-devices.html for an updated list.
+
+If you have a machine not on that list, or reported as 'untested': the best way 
+to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly, or to collect a 
+trace of the windows driver in action.  Please contact the author for help or 
+with test results.
+
+.SH UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE
+Most of the recent Kodak consumer or workgroup level machines are based on 
+other chipsets and are not supported by this backend. Some of these scanners 
+may be supported by another backend.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+Effort has been made to expose the basic hardware options, including:
+.PP
+source s 
+.RS
+Selects the source for the scan. Options
+may include "Flatbed", "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex".
+.RE
+.PP
+mode m 
+.RS
+Selects the mode for the scan. Options
+may include "Lineart", "Halftone", "Gray", and "Color".
+.RE
+.PP
+resolution 
+.RS
+Controls scan resolution. Available choices may be limited by mode.
+.RE
+.PP
+tl\-x, tl\-y, br\-x, br\-y
+.RS
+Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are renamed 
+t, l, x, y by some frontends.
+.RE
+.PP
+page\-width, page\-height
+.RS
+Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan
+coordinates when using ADF and to detect double feed errors.
+.RE
+.PP
+Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scanner.
+Use 'scanimage \-\-help' to get a list, but be aware that some options may 
+be settable only when another option has been set, and that advanced options 
+may be hidden by some frontend programs.
+.PP
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file "kodak.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look
+for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend.
+This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list 
+of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the configuration
+file is missing, the backend will use a set of compiled defaults, which
+are identical to the default configuration file shipped with SANE.
+.PP
+Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 2 ways:
+.PP
+"scsi KODAK"
+.RS
+Requests backend to search all scsi busses in the system for a device 
+which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'KODAK'. 
+.RE
+.PP
+"scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file)
+.RS
+Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if you have
+multiple compatible scanners connected to your system, and need to
+specify one. Probably should not be used with the other "scsi" line above.
+.RE
+.PP
+The only configuration option supported is "buffer\-size=xxx", allowing you
+to set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other than the 
+compiled\-in default, 32768 (32K). Some users report that their scanner will
+"hang" mid\-page, or fail to transmit the image if the buffer is not large
+enough.
+.PP
+Note: This option may appear multiple times in the configuration file. It only
+applies to scanners discovered by 'scsi/usb' lines that follow this option.
+.PP
+Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some users
+required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not recommended,
+and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You have been
+warned.
+.PP
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_KODAK, which
+enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:
+.PP
+.RS
+5  Errors
+.br
+10 Function trace
+.br
+15 Function detail
+.br
+20 Option commands
+.br
+25 SCSI trace
+.br
+30 SCSI detail
+.br
+35 Useless noise
+.RE
+
+.SH KNOWN ISSUES
+Most hardware options are either not supported or not exposed for control by 
+the user, including: multifeed detection, image compression, autocropping,
+endorser, iThresholding, multi\-stream, etc.
+.PP

+.SH NAME
+sane\-kodakaio \- SANE backend for Kodak aio printer / scanners
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The 
+.B sane\-kodakaio
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which
+provides access to Kodak aio printer / scanners, like the ESP and Hero series.
+
+This document describes backend version 2.4, which is the first candidate for
+incorporation in sane-backends.
+
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+This version should support models of the Kodak ESP and Hero series, and possibly some
+Advent AiO scanners. The ESP 5250 and Hero 9.1 were used to develop the backend, 
+but other models may work. Please see the desc file.
+
+If you have a model not on that list, or reported as 'untested': the best way 
+to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+The configuration file "kodakaio.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look
+for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend.
+This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list 
+of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_KODAKAIO, which
+enables debugging output to stderr. 
+
+.SH KNOWN ISSUES
+Most hardware options are either not supported or not exposed for control by 
+the user, including: multifeed detection, image compression etc.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-ma1509 \- SANE backend for Mustek BearPaw 1200F USB scanner
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-ma1509
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
+access to the Mustek BearPaw 1200F USB flatbed scanner. This scanner is based
+on the MA-1509 chipset. Other scanners that use this chip (if they exist) may
+also work.
+.PP
+This backend is ALPHA software.  Be careful and remove the power plug
+immediately if your hear unusual noises.
+.PP
+More details can be found on the ma1509 backend homepage 
+.IR http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/ma1509\-backend/ .
+.PP
+Other Mustek USB scanners are supported by the gt68xx, mustek_usb and the
+plustek backends. See
+.BR sane\-mustek_usb (5),
+.BR sane\-gt68xx (5)
+and
+.BR sane\-plustek (5)
+for details.
+.PP
+This backend can only work with scanners that are already detected by the
+operating system. See 
+.BR sane\-usb (5)
+for details.
+.PP
+If you own a scanner other than the Mustek BearPaw 1200F that works with this
+backend, please let me know this by sending the scanner's exact model name and
+the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
+.I /proc/bus/usb/devices
+or syslog) to me.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is a path-name for the special device that corresponds to a USB scanner.
+With Linux, such a device name could be
+.I /dev/usb/scanner0
+or
+.IR libusb:001:002 ,
+for example.
+.PP
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I ma1509.conf
+file is a list of options and device names that correspond to Mustek BearPaw
+1200F scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.
+.PP
+Instead of using the device name, the scanner can be autodetected by 
+.B "usb vendor_id product_id"
+statements which are already included into
+.IR ma1509.conf .
+This is only supported with Linux 2.4.8 and higher and all systems that
+support libsub. "vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that
+identify the scanner. If this doesn't work, a device name must be placed in
+.I ma1509.conf 
+as described above.
+.PP
+To set the time the lamp needs for warm-up, use
+.B option
+.B warmup-time
+in 
+.IR ma1509.conf .
+The time is given in seconds after the option. The default is 30 seconds.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/ma1509.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-ma1509.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-ma1509.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
+support dynamic loading).
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are
+separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a
+semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file
+is searched in two default directories: first, the current working
+directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the
+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
+directories.  For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_MA1509
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
+environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.  Higher
+debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.

+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a semi\-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file is searched in two default directories: first, the current working directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified directories.  For example, setting

+.B SANE_DEBUG_MATSUSHITA
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this

+
+
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+.TP
+.B Memory in the KV-SS 25
+The KV-SS 25 has not enough internal memory to scan a whole A4 page in duplex mode at high resolution. The frontend will return a memory error in that case. Apparently, the KV-SS 25D has not that problem.
+.TP
+.B Pattern and gamma downloading
+The scanner, with the proper firmware, can download a halftone pattern
+and a gamma table. This is not implemented.
+.TP
+.B Sub-areas
+The scanner can support up to 3 sub-areas on each side to define some
+more precise enhancement options. This is not implemented.
+.TP
+.B Duplex mode
+The backend does not support the setting of different options for each side. The scan will occur with the same options (halftone pattern, brightness, image emphasis) for both sides.
+
+

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The

+.br
+.RE
+.PP
+The driver supports line art, halftone, 8bpp gray, and 24bpp color scans
+at normal and "expanded" resolutions (i.e. 1200x1200 on an E6), fast scans
+for color previews, and downloadable gamma tables.
+.PP
+The supported scanners are all SCSI scanners.  However, some parallel
+port models may work (under Linux), if they use a parport->scsi chip,
+and if you can find a scsi->parport driver.  This is known to be the
+case for the Color PageWiz.
+.PP
+The driver does 
+.B not
+support the newest Microtek scanners, such as the V330 and V660, which use
+a new and very different SCSI-II command set.  For those, try the alternate
+.B microtek2
+backend.  Most non-SCSI scanners would use the new command set.  Most
+scanners newer than the Scanmaker E6 would use the new command set.
+.PP
+If you own a Microtek scanner other than the ones listed above, tell us
+what happens --- see the
+.BR BUGS
+section at the end of this document.

+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corresponds to the
+scanner.  The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a
+symlink to such a device.  Under Linux, such a device name could be
+.I /dev/sga
+or
+.IR /dev/sge ,
+for example.
+.PP
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the

+.RE
+.PP
+The configuration file may also contain the special tokens
+.I norealcal
+or
+.I noprecal.
+.I norealcal
+will disable the use of magic, undocumented scanner calibration commands
+which are known to work on the E6, but may not work with other models.

+Additional information can be found at

+.PP
+If you own a Microtek scanner other than the ones listed above,
+it may or may not work with SANE! Because equal scanners are sold under
+different names in different countries your model may be equivalent to one of
+the above.
+.PP
+The parport scanners work with the ppscsi + onscsi kernel modules. See
+.I http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/ppscsi.html
+and
+.IR http://penguin-breeder.org/kernel/download/ .
+
+.PP
+The USB scanners work with the microtek kernel module. You may have to add the
+vendor and model codes to microtek.c if they aren't yet listed there.
+.PP
+Both parport and USB scanners need the generic SCSI support, so check if you
+have loaded the scsi_mod and sg modules!
+.PP
+If you try your scanner for the first time keep an eye on it. If it gets
+commands that it doesn't understand the scanhead may go beyond the scan area.
+The scanner then makes strange noises. In this case immediately switch off
+the scanner or disconnect its power cable to prevent damages!
+.PP
+If your scanner is a different one than the models mentioned above and it is
+working please tell the author about it. It would be nice if you add a logfile
+to this information (creation of the logfile: see below).
+.PP
+If your scanner is not working properly you also should create a logfile and
+send it to the author. He will use the information to improve the backend and
+possibly make your scanner work.
+.PP
+.br
+How to create the logfile?
+.TP
+\- put the line
+.br
+"option dump 2" into your
+.I microtek2.conf
+file or change the existing "option dump" to "2"
+.TP
+\- in a terminal (bash) type
+.br
+"export SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK2=30" and then
+.br
+"scanimage \-l0 \-t0 \-x100 \-y20 2>scan.log >sout.pnm"
+.br
+You get two files: scan.log contains the logfile and sout.pnm the scanned
+image (if there was scanned something). Zip them before sending.
+
+.SH "FRONTEND OPTIONS"
+This backend dynamically enables the options for the frontend, that are
+supported by the scanner in dependence of the scanning-mode and other
+options.
+Not supported options are disabled.
+.PP
+The following options are supported by the Microtek2-driver:
+.PP
+Color, grayscale, halftone and lineart scans.
+.PP
+Highlight, midtone, shadow, contrast, brightness, exposure time control,
+gamma correction, threshold (dependent of the scan mode and the scanner
+capabilities)
+.PP
+Transparency media adapter, automatic document feeder
+.PP
+Additional options can be enabled or disabled in the
+.I microtek2.conf
+file. See the configuration section of this manpage.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I  special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corresponds to the
+scanner.  The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a
+symlink to such a device.  Under Linux, such a device name could be
+.I  /dev/sga
+or
+.I  /dev/sge
+for example.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+The configuration file for this backend resides in
+.IR @CONFIGDIR@/microtek2.conf .
+
+Its contents is a list of device names that correspond to Microtek
+scanners with SCSI-2 interface. Empty lines and lines starting with
+a hash mark (#) are ignored.
+.PP
+The configuration file may also contain options. Global options that are valid
+for all devices are placed above the device names. Device-specific options
+are
+placed under the device name. Note that, except for option dump <n> and
+option strip-height <n>, the entry in the microtek2.conf file only enables
+the corresponding option for being showed in the frontend. There, in the
+frontend, you can switch the options on and off.
+Currently the following options are supported:
+.PP
+.RS
+option dump <n>
+.br
+option strip\-height <n>
+.br
+option no\-backtrack\-option <on/off>
+.br
+option lightlid\-35 <on/off>
+.br
+option toggle\-lamp <on/off>
+.br
+option lineart\-autoadjust <on/off>
+.br
+option backend\-calibration <on/off>
+.br
+option colorbalance\-adjust <on/off>
+.RE
+.PP
+.I option dump <n>
+enables printing of additional information about the SCSI commands that are
+sent to the scanner to stderr. This option is primarily useful for debugging
+purpose. This option has to be a global option and is best placed at the top
+of the
+.I microtek2.conf
+file.
+.PP
+If n=1 the contents of the command blocks
+and the results for the INQUIRY and READ SCANNER ATTRIBUTES command are
+printed to stderr.
+.PP
+If n=2 the contents of the command blocks for all other SCSI commands are
+printed to stderr, too. If n=3 the contents of the gamma table is
+printed, too. If n=4 all scan data is additionally printed to stderr.
+.PP
+The default is n=1.
+.PP
+.I option strip\-height <n>
+, where <n> is a floating point number, limits the amount of data that is
+read from the scanner with one read command.
+The unit is inch and <n> defaults to 1.0, if this option is not set in the
+configuration file. If less than <n> inch of data fit into the SCSI buffer,
+then the smaller value is used and this option has no effect.
+.PP
+If your system has a big SCSI buffer and you want to make use of the whole
+buffer, increase the value for <n>. For example, if <n> is set to 14.0,
+no restrictions apply for scanners with a letter, legal or A4 sized scan area.
+.PP
+.PP
+The following options enable or disable additional frontend options. If an
+option is set to <on> an appropriate option will appear in the frontend.
+.PP
+.I option no\-backtrack\-option <on/off>
+prevents the scanner head from moving backwards between the read commands.
+This speeds up scanning. Try it.
+.PP
+.I option lightlid\-35 <on/off>
+If you use the LightLid-35 transparency adapter you get an advanced
+option which switches off the flatbed lamp during the scan.
+.PP
+.I option toggle\-lamp <on/off>
+You get a button in the frontend where you can switch on and off the flatbed
+lamp.
+.PP
+.I option lineart\-autoadjust <on/off>
+You can tell the backend to try to determine a good value for the lineart
+threshold.
+.PP
+.I option backend\-calibration <on/off>
+Some scanners (e.g. Phantom 330CX and 636CX) need to have calibrated the data
+by the backend. Try this option if you see vertical stripes in your pictures.
+.PP
+.I option colorbalance\-adjust <on/off>
+Some scanners (e.g. Phantom 330CX and 636CX) need to have corrected
+the color balance. If this option is enabled you get advanced options
+where you can balance the colors. And you will have a button
+to use the values that the firmware of the scanner provides.
+.PP
+A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+option dump 1
+.br
+option strip\-height 1.0
+.br
+/dev/scanner
+.br
+option no\-backtrack\-option on
+.br
+# this is a comment
+.br
+/dev/sge
+.br
+option lightlid\-35 on
+.RE
+
+This backend also supports the new configuration file format which makes
+it easier to detect scanners under Linux. If you have only one scanner it
+would be best to use the following configuration file for this backend:
+.PP
+.RS
+option dump 1
+.br
+option strip\-height 14.0
+.br
+option no\-backtrack\-option on
+.br
+option backend\-calibration on

+option toggle\-lamp on
+.br
+option lineart\-autoadjust on

+.SH NAME
+sane\-mustek \- SANE backend for Mustek SCSI flatbed scanners (and some other devices)
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-mustek
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access
+to Mustek (and some relabeled Trust and Primax) SCSI and parport flatbed
+scanners.  At present, the following scanners are known to work more or less
+with this backend:
+.PP

+.RE
+.PP
+More details can be found on the Mustek SCSI backend homepage 
+.IR http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/mustek\-backend/ .
+.PP
+Don't mix up MFS (Paragon), Pro and ScanExpress models! They're
+completely different. Check the exact model name!
+.PP
+Note that most of the above scanners come with a SCSI interface.  The only
+non-SCSI scanners that have some support at this point is the 600 II N and 600
+II EP scanners. The former one comes with its own parallel port adapter (i.e.,
+it does
+.I not
+attach to the printer port). Both scanners use the SCSI protocol internally,
+too. More info on how to use these parallel port scanners can be found below in
+section
+.BR "PARALLEL PORT SCANNERS" .
+Other parallel port scanners are not supported by this backend but you may be
+successful using the Mustek parallel port backend mustek_pp, see
+.BR sane\-mustek_pp (5).
+USB scanners are also not supported by this backend but the ma1509, mustek_usb,
+gt68xx, and plustek backends include support for some of them, see
+.BR sane\-ma1509 (5),
+.BR sane\-mustek_usb (5),
+.BR sane\-gt68xx "(5), and"
+.BR sane\-plustek (5).
+.PP
+Mustek scanners have no protection against exceeding the physical scan
+area height.  That is, if a scan is attempted with a height that
+exceeds the height of the scan surface, the scanner begins making loud
+noises and the scan mechanism may be damaged.  Thus, if you hear such
+a noise, IMMEDIATELY turn off the scanner. This shouldn't happen if
+your scanner is in the list of known scanners. There is more
+information in the
+.I @DOCDIR@/PROBLEMS
+file.
+.PP
+If you own a Mustek (or Trust) scanner other than the ones listed
+above that works with this backend, please let us know by sending the
+scanner's exact model name (look at the front and back of the scanner)
+and a debug output to
+.IR sane\-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org .
+You can get the debug output by setting the environment variable
+.B SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK
+to 5 and showing the list of available scanners with scanimage \-L. Please
+send all of it to the mailing list. You must be subscribed to sane\-devel
+before you can send mail to the list. See
+.I http://www.sane\-project.org/mailing\-lists.html
+for details.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is either the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a
+SCSI scanner or the port number at which the parallel port scanners can
+be found (see section 
+.B "PARALLEL PORT SCANNERS"
+below).  For SCSI scanners, the special device name must be a generic SCSI
+device or a symlink to such a device.  The program
+.I sane\-find\-scanner 
+helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name
+could be
+.I /dev/sg0
+or
+.IR /dev/sg3 ,
+for example.  See 
+.BR sane\-scsi (5)
+for details.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I mustek.conf
+file is a list of options and device names that correspond to Mustek
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  See 
+.BR sane\-scsi (5)
+on details of what constitutes a valid device name.
+.PP
+The supported options are
+.BR linedistance\-fix ,
+.BR lineart\-fix ,
+.BR legal\-size ,
+.BR buffersize ,
+.BR blocksize ,
+.BR strip\-height ,
+.BR disable\-double\-buffering ,
+.BR disable\-backtracking ,
+and
+.BR force\-wait .
+.PP
+Options come in two flavors: global and positional ones.  Global
+options apply to all devices managed by the backend whereas positional
+options apply just to the most recently mentioned device.  Note that
+this means that the order in which the options appear matters!
+.PP
+Option
+.B linedistance\-fix
+is positional and works around a problem that occurs with some SCSI
+controllers (notably the ncr810 controller under Linux).  If color
+scans have horizontal stripes and/or the colors are off, then it's
+likely that your controller suffers from this problem.  Turning on
+this option usually fixes the problem.
+.PP
+Option
+.B lineart\-fix
+is positional and works around a timing problem that seems to exist
+with certain MFS-12000SP scanners.  The problem manifests itself in
+dropped lines when scanning in lineart mode.  Turning on this option
+should fix the problem but may slow down scanning a bit.
+.PP
+Option
+.B legal\-size
+is positional and sets the size of the scan area to Legal format. Set this
+option if you own a Paragon 12000 LS. It can't be distinguished by
+software from a ScanExpress 12000 SP (ISO A4 format).
+.PP
+Option
+.B buffersize
+is a positional option that overrides the default value set for the size of
+the SCSI buffer. The buffer size is specified in kilobytes. The default value
+is 128. Because of double buffering the buffer actually sent to the scanner
+is half the size of this value. Try to increase this value to achieve higher
+scan speeds. Note that some ScanExpress scanners don't like buffer sizes above
+64 kb (buffersize = 128). If your sg driver can't set SCSI buffer sizes at
+runtime you may have to change that value, too. See sane\-scsi(5) for details.
+.PP
+Option
+.B blocksize
+is a positional option that overrides the default value set for the maximum
+amount of data scanned in one block. The buffer size is specified in
+kilobytes. Some scanners freeze if this value is bigger than 2048. The default
+value is 1 GB (so effectively no limit) for most scanners. Don't change this
+value if you don't know exactly what you do.
+.PP
+Option
+.B strip\-height
+is a global option that limits the maximum height of the strip scanned with a
+single SCSI read command.  The height is specified in inches and may contain a
+fractional part (e.g., 1.5).  Setting the strip\-height to a small value (one
+inch, for example) reduces the likelihood of encountering problems with SCSI
+driver timeouts and/or timeouts with other devices on the same SCSI bus.
+Unfortunately, it also increases scan times. With current SCSI adapters and
+drivers this option shouldn't be needed any more.
+.PP
+Option
+.B disable\-double\-buffering
+is a global option. If set, the backend will only send one buffer at a time to
+the scanner. Try this option if you have trouble while scanning, e.g. SCSI
+errors, freezes, or the first few cm are repeated over and over again in your
+image.
+.PP
+Option
+.B disable\-backtracking
+is a positional option. If set, the scanner will not move back its slider
+after each SCSI buffer is filled (`backtracking'). Setting this option will
+lead to faster scans but may also produce horizontal stripes. This option
+doesn't work with every scanner (only some of the paragon models can modify
+backtracking).
+.PP
+Finally,
+.B force\-wait
+is a global option. If set, the backend will wait until the device is ready
+before sending the inquiry command. Further more the backend will force the
+scan slider to return to its starting position (not implemented for all
+scanners). This option may be necessary with the 600 II N or when scanimage is
+used multiple times (e.g. in scripts). The default is off (not set).
+.PP
+A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+# limit strip height of all scanners to 1.5 inches:
+.br
+option strip\-height 1.5
+.br
+.br
+/dev/scanner    # first Mustek scanner
+.br
+# 1 MB buffer for /dev/scanner:
+.br
+option buffersize 1024
+.br
+/dev/sge        # second Mustek scanner
+.br
+# turn on fixes for /dev/sge:
+.br
+option lineart\-fix
+.br
+option linedistance\-fix
+.RE
+
+.SH "SCSI ADAPTER TIPS"
+.PP
+You need a SCSI adapter for the SCSI scanners. Even if the connector is the
+same as that of parallel port scanners, connecting it to the computers
+parallel port will NOT work.
+.PP
+Mustek SCSI scanners are typically delivered with an ISA SCSI adapter.
+Unfortunately, that adapter is not worth much since it is not
+interrupt driven.  It is (sometimes) possible to get the supplied card
+to work, but without interrupt line, scanning will be very slow and put
+so much load on the system, that it becomes almost unusable for other tasks.
+.PP
+If you already have a working SCSI controller in your system, you
+should consider that Mustek scanners do not support the SCSI-2
+disconnect/reconnect protocol and hence tie up the SCSI bus while a
+scan is in progress.  This means that no other SCSI device on the same
+bus can be accessed while a scan is in progress.
+.PP
+Because the Mustek-supplied adapter is not worth much and because
+Mustek scanners do not support the SCSI-2 disconnect/reconnect
+protocol, it is recommended to install a separate (cheap) SCSI
+controller for Mustek scanners.  For example, ncr810 based cards are
+known to work fine and cost as little as fifty US dollars.
+.PP
+For Mustek scanners, it is typically necessary to configure the low-level SCSI
+driver to disable synchronous transfers (sync negotiation), tagged command
+queuing, and target disconnects.  See
+.BR sane\-scsi (5)
+for driver- and platform-specific information.
+.PP
+The ScanExpress models have sometimes trouble with high resolution
+color mode. If you encounter sporadic corrupted images (parts duplicated
+or shifted horizontally) kill all other applications before scanning
+and (if sufficient memory is available) disable swapping. 
+.PP
+Details on how to get the Mustek SCSI adapters and other cards running can be
+found at
+.IR http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/mustek\-backend/#SCSI .
+
+.SH "PARALLEL PORT SCANNERS"
+This backend has support for the Paragon 600 II EP and Paragon 600 II N parallel
+port scanners.  Note that the latter scanner comes with its own ISA card that
+implements a funky parallel port (in other words, the scanner does not connected
+to the printer parallel port).
+.PP
+These scanners can be configured by listing the port number
+of the adapter or the parallel port in the mustek.conf file.  Valid port numbers
+for the 600 II N are
+.IR 0x26b ", " 0x2ab ", " 0x2eb ", " 0x22b ", " 0x32b ", " 0x36b ", "
+.IR 0x3ab ", " 0x3eb .
+For the 600 II EP use one of these:
+.IR parport0 ", " parport1 ", " parport2 ", " 0x378 ", " 0x278 ", " 0x3bc .
+Pick one that doesn't conflict with the other hardware in your computer. Put
+only one number on a single line. Example:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I 0x3eb
+.RE
+.PP
+Note that for these scanners usually root privileges are required to access the
+I/O ports.  Thus, either make frontends such as 
+.BR scanimage (1)
+and 
+.BR xscanimage (1)
+setuid root (generally not recommended for safety reasons) or, alternatively,
+access this backend through the network daemon 
+.BR saned (8).
+.PP
+If the Mustek backend blocks while sending the inquiry command to the scanner,
+add the option
+.B force\-wait
+to
+.IR mustek.conf .
+.PP
+Also note that after a while of no activity, some scanners themselves (not
+the SANE backend) turns off their CCFL lamps. This shutdown is not always
+perfect with the result that the lamp sometimes continues to glow
+dimly at one end. This doesn't appear to be dangerous since as soon as
+you use the scanner again, the lamp turns back on to the normal high
+brightness. However, the first image scanned after such a shutdown may
+have stripes and appear to be over-exposed.  When this happens, just
+take another scan, and the image will be fine.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-mustek_pp \- SANE backend for Mustek parallel port flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-mustek_pp
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to Mustek parallel port flatbed scanners and OEM versions.
+
+There are 2 classes of Mustek parallel port scanners: regular 
+.B CCD
+(cold cathode device) scanners and 
+.B CIS 
+(contact image sensor) scanners.
+.P
+The current version of this backend supports both CCD type scanners and
+CIS type scanners.
+.P
+The following scanners might work with this backend:

+.HP 
+(**)   Problems have been reported in the past for the
+MD/LT9850 type (striped scans, head moving in wrong
+direction at some resolutions). It is not known whether
+the current version of the driver still has these problems.
+.PP
+.B  IF YOU HEAR LOUD CLICKING NOISES, IMMEDIATELY UNPLUG THE SCANNER !
+(This holds for any type of scanner).
+.HP 
+(***)  Possibly, the engine_delay parameter has to be set to 1 ms
+for accurate engine movements.
+.PP
+Please note that this backend is still under construction. Certain models
+are currently not supported and some may never be because the communication
+protocol is still unknown (eg., SE 12000 P).
+.PP
+Some scanners work faster when 
+.B EPP/ECP
+is enabled in the BIOS. EPP mode however may lead to hard-locks on some Linux
+systems. If that is the case for you, you can either disable ECP/EPP in your
+BIOS or disable it in the backend itself (see GLOBAL OPTIONS).
+.PP
+Note that the backend needs to run as root or has to have appropriate access
+rights to /dev/parport* if libieee1284 support is compiled in. To allow user 
+access to the scanner run the backend through the network interface (See 
+saned(8) and sane\-net(5)). Note also that the backend
+.I does not
+support
+.IR "parport sharing" ,
+i.e. if you try printing while scanning, your computer may crash. To enable
+parport sharing, you have to enable libieee1284 at compile time. This backend
+also conflicts with the
+.I sane\-musteka4s2
+backend. You can only enable one of them in your dll.conf. However, you have
+to enable the backend explicitly in your dll.conf, just remove the hash mark
+in the line "mustek_pp".
+
+.SH "DEVICE DEFINITION"
+This backend allows multiple devices being defined and configured via the 
+.B mustek_pp.conf
+file (even simultaneously, provided that they are connected to different
+parallel ports). Please make sure to edit this file
+.B before
+you use the backend.
+.PP
+A device can be defined as follows:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I scanner <name> <port name> <driver>
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.HP
+.B <name>
+is an arbitrary name for the device, optionally enclosed by double quotes,
+for instance "LifeTec 9350".
+.HP
+.B <port name>
+is the name of the parallel port to which the device is connected. In case
+libieee1284 is used for communication with the port
+.I (default 
+.IR setup) , 
+valid port names are 
+.BR parport0 , 
+.BR parport1 , 
+and
+.BR parport2 .
+.PP
+In case the backend is configured for raw IO
+.I (old 
+.IR setup) ,
+port addresses have to be used instead of port names:
+.BR 0x378 ,
+.BR 0x278 , 
+or
+.BR 0x3BC .
+The mapping of parallel ports (lp0, lp1, and lp2) to these addresses 
+can be different for different Linux kernel versions. For instance,
+if you are using a Kernel 2.2.x or better and you have only one
+parallel port, this port is named lp0 regardless of the base address. However,
+this backend requires the base address of your port. If you are not sure which
+port your scanner is connected to, have a look at your /etc/conf.modules,
+/etc/modules.conf and/or /proc/ioports.
+.PP
+If you are unsure which port to use, you can use the magic value
+.BR * 
+to probe for your scanner.
+.PP
+.HP
+.B <driver>
+is the driver to use for this device. Currently available drivers are:
+.IP
+.BR cis600 "   : for 600 CP, 96 CP & OEM versions"
+.br
+.BR cis1200 "  : for 1200 CP & OEM versions"
+.br  
+.BR cis1200+ " : for 1200 CP+ & OEM versions"
+.br
+.BR ccd300 "   : for 600 IIIE P & OEM version"
+.IP
+.B Choosing  the  wrong  driver  can  damage  your scanner!
+.br
+Especially, using the 1200CP settings on a 600CP can be
+harmful. If the scanner starts making a loud noise, turn
+it off immediately !!!
+.PP
+Using the cis600 driver on a 1200CP or a 1200CP+ is probably not
+dangerous. The cis1200+ driver also works for the 1200CP, and using
+the cis1200 driver on a 1200CP+ will typically result in scans that
+cover only half of the width of the scan area (also not dangerous).
+.PP
+If unsure about the exact model of your OEM version, check the optical

+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+.PP
+The contents of the
+.B mustek_pp.conf
+file is a list of device definitions and device options that correspond to 
+Mustek scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored. Options have the following format:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I option <name> [<value>]
+.RE
+.PP
+Depending on the nature of the option, a value may or may not be present.
+Options always apply to the scanner definition that precedes them. There
+are no global options. Options are also driver-specific: not all drivers
+support all possible options. 
+
+.SS Common options
+.TP
+.B bw <value>
+Black/white discrimination value to be used during lineart scanning. Pixel
+values below this value are assumed to be black, values above are
+assumed to be white. 
+.br
+Default value: 127
+.br 
+Minimum:         0
+.br 
+Maximum:       255
+.sp
+Example:  option bw 150
+
+.SS CIS driver options
+.TP
+.B top_adjust <value>
+Vertical adjustment of the origin, expressed in millimeter (floating point). 
+This option can be used to calibrate the position of the origin, within
+certain limits. Note that CIS scanners are probably temperature sensitive, and
+that a certain inaccuracy may be hard to avoid. Differences in offset between
+runs in the order of 1 to 2 mm are not unusual.
+.br
+Default value: 0.0
+.br
+Minimum:      \-5.0
+.br
+Maximum:       5.0
+.br
+.sp
+Example:  option top_adjust \-2.5
+.TP
+.B slow_skip
+Turns fast skipping to the start of the scan region off. When the region to
+scan does not start at the origin, the driver will try to move the scanhead
+to the start of the scan area at the fastest possible speed. On some models,
+this may not work, resulting in large inaccuracies (up to centimeters).
+By setting this option, the driver is forced to use normal speed during
+skipping, which can circumvent the accuracy problems. Currently, there are 
+no models for which these inaccuracy problems are known to occur.
+.sp
+By default, fast skipping is used.
+.sp
+Example:  option slow_skip
+.TP
+.B engine_delay <value>
+Under normal circumstances, it is sufficient for the driver to wait for the
+scanner signaling that the engine is stable, before a new engine command can
+be transmitted. In rare cases, certain scanners and/or parallel port chipsets
+appear to prevent reliable detection of the engine state. As a result, engine
+commands are transmitted too soon and the movement of the scanner head becomes
+unreliable. Inaccuracies ranging up to 10 cm over the whole vertical scan
+range have been reported. To work around this problem, the engine_delay option
+can be set. If it is set, the driver waits an additional amount of time after
+every engine command, equal to the engine_delay parameter, expressed in
+milliseconds. It practice an engine_delay of 1 ms is usually sufficient. The
+maximum delay is 100 ms.
+.sp
+Note that every additional ms of delay can add up to 14 seconds to the total
+scanning time (highest resolution), so an as small as possible value is
+preferred.
+.sp
+Default value:   0
+.br
+Minimum:         0
+.br
+Maximum:       100
+.sp
+Example:  option engine_delay 1
+
+.SS CCD driver options
+.TP
+.B top <value>
+Number of scanlines to skip to the start of the scan area. The number can
+be any positive integer. Values known to me are 47 and 56.
+.sp
+Default value: 47
+.br
+Minimum:       0
+.br
+Maximum:       none
+.br
+.sp
+Example:  option top 56
+.TP
+.B waitbank <value>
+The number of usecs to wait for a bank change. You should not touch this
+value actually. May be any positive integer
+.sp
+Default value: 700
+.br
+Minimum:       0

+.SH NAME
+sane\-mustek_usb \- SANE backend for Mustek USB flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-mustek_usb
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
+access to Mustek USB flatbed scanners (including a clone from Trust).  At
+present, the following scanners are known to work more or less with this
+backend:
+.PP
+.RS
+Mustek 600 CU
+.br
+Mustek 1200 UB
+.br
+Mustek 1200 CU
+.br
+Mustek 1200 CU Plus
+.br
+Trust Compact Scan USB 19200
+.br
+.RE
+.PP
+More details can be found on the Mustek USB backend homepage 
+.IR http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/mustek_usb\-backend/ .
+.PP
+The Mustek BearPaw 1200 and 2400 scanners are supported by the plustek
+backend. See 
+.BR sane\-plustek (5)
+for details. The Mustek BearPaw 1200F is supported by the MA-1509 backend. See
+.BR sane\-ma1509 (5)
+for details. Other Mustek USB scanners are supported by the gt68xx backend,
+see
+.BR sane\-gt68xx (5).
+.PP
+This backend can only work with scanners that are already detected by the
+operating system. See 
+.BR sane\-usb (5)
+for details.
+.PP
+If you own a Mustek (or Trust) scanner other than the ones listed above that
+works with this backend, please let me know this by sending the scanner's
+exact model name and the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
+.I /proc/bus/usb/devices
+or syslog) to me.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is a path-name for the special device that corresponds to a USB scanner.
+With Linux, such a device name could be
+.I /dev/usb/scanner0
+or
+.IR /dev/usbscanner1 ,
+for example.
+.PP
+For FreeBSD use
+.IR /dev/uscanner0 .
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I mustek_usb.conf
+file is a list of options and device names that correspond to Mustek
+USB scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored. If a device name is placed in 
+.IR mustek_usb.conf ,
+it must be followed by a line containing the keyword
+.B option
+and an option specifying the scanner type. The following options can be used:
+.BR 600cu ,
+.BR 1200cu ,
+.BR 1200cu_plus ,
+.BR 1200ub .
+For the Trust Compact Scan USB 19200 use `option 1200ub'.
+.PP
+Instead of using the device name, the scanner can be autodetected by 
+.B "usb vendor_id product_id"
+statements which are already included into
+.IR mustek_usb.conf .
+This is only supported with Linux 2.4.8 and higher and all systems that
+support libsub. "vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that
+identify the scanner. If this doesn't work, a device name and the option
+specifying the scanner type must be placed in
+.I mustek_usb.conf 
+as described above.
+.PP
+The global
+.B option max_block_size
+can be used to limit the amount of data acquired in one turn from the USB
+system. It may be worth trying, if USB errors occur.
+.PP
+A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+# Comment
+.br
+option max_block_size 1024
+.br
+usb 0x055f 0x0001
+.br
+/dev/usb/scanner0
+.br
+option 600cu
+.RE
+.PP
+The first line is ignored. The second line sets the buffer size to a maximum of
+1024 bytes.  The third line tries to autodetect a scanner with vendor id 0x055f
+and product id 0x0001 (Mustek 1200 CU). The fourth line tells the backend to
+attach to 
+.I /dev/usb/scanner0
+and the fifth line specifies that
+.I /dev/usb/scanner0
+is a Mustek 600 CU.

+These devices have a hardware bug: Once data is written to them, they can't be
+reset (toggle = DATA0). That means, any operation that tries to reset the
+device will result in running into timeouts.
+
+In earlier versions this backend failed when it was loaded the second time in

+backend uses a workaround for that bug now but it's only tested on
+Linux. Reports for other operating systems are appreciated.

+sane\-net \- SANE network backend
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-net
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to image acquisition devices through a network
+connection.  This makes it possible to control devices attached to a
+remote host and also provides a means to grant users access to
+protected resources.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.IR host : device
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I host
+is the name (or IP address) of the (remote) host and
+.I device
+is the name of the device on this host that should be addressed.
+If the device name does not contain a colon (:), then the entire string
+is treated as the
+.I device
+string for the default host.  The default host is the host listed last
+in the configuration file (see below).
+.PP
+An IPv6 address can be specified enclosed in square brackets:
+.PP
+.RS
+.IR [::1] : device
+.RE
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The
+.IR net.conf
+file contains both backend options and a list of host names (or IP
+addresses) that should be contacted for scan requests. Anything that
+isn't one of the options listed below will be treated as an host name.
+.PP
+.TP
+.B connect_timeout = nsecs
+Timeout (in seconds) for the initial connection to the
+.I saned
+server. This will prevent the backend from blocking for several
+minutes trying to connect to an unresponsive
+.I saned
+host (network outage, host down, ...). The environment variable
+.B SANE_NET_TIMEOUT
+can also be used to specify the timeout at runtime.
+.PP
+Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  Note that IPv6 addresses in this file do not need to be enclosed
+in square brackets.  A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS

+.SH NAME
+sane\-pint \- SANE backend for scanners that use the PINT device driver
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-pint
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides generic access to hand-held and flatbed scanners using the
+PINT (PINT Is Not Twain) device driver.  The PINT driver is being
+actively developed on the OpenBSD platform, and has been ported to a
+few other *nix-like operating systems.
+.PP
+PINT is designed to provide an
+.BR ioctl (2)
+interface to many different scanner types.  However, this backend has
+only been tested with flatbed single-pass scanners, and more work will
+probably be required to get it to use other scanner types
+successfully.
+.PP
+If have successfully used the PINT driver with your scanner, but it
+does not work using this SANE backend, please let us know.  To do
+this, send a mail with the relevant information for your scanner to
+.IR sane\-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org .
+Have a look at http://www.sane\-project.org/mailing\-lists.html concerning subscription
+to sane\-devel.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corresponds to the
+scanner.  The special device name must be a PINT device or a symlink
+to such a device.  For example, under NetBSD or OpenBSD, such a device
+name could be
+.I /dev/ss0
+or
+.IR /dev/scan0 .
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.IR pint.conf .
+file is a list of device names that correspond to PINT
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP

+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are

+.SH SEE ALSO
+sane(7)
+.SH AUTHOR
+Gordon Matzigkeit, adapted from existing backends written by David
+Mosberger.
+.SH BUGS
+
+There are minor roundoff errors when adjusting the ranges, since
+PINT uses units of 1/1200 of an inch, and SANE normally uses
+millimeters.  Symptoms of these errors are skewed images.  This should
+really be fixed (no pun intended) as soon as possible, but I just
+don't know/care enough about fixed-point representation and roundoff
+errors to do this correctly.  Workaround: use inches as the scanning
+unit, and everything usually works fine.
+
+The PINT 0.5e interface does not provide a way to determine valid
+ranges for DPI, modes, and scan sizes.  So, the SANE backend queries
+the PINT device, and dynamically discovers valid ranges by doing a
+binary search.  This means that the driver takes longer to initialize
+than seems necessary.
+
+Resetting the scanner does not seem to work (at least not on my HP
+ScanJet 4p).  For that reason, the driver sends a SCIOCRESTART, then
+gobbles up any remaining input until it hits EOF.
+
+Not all of the scanners have been identified (i.e. whether they are
+flatbed or handheld).
+
+X and Y resolutions are assumed to be the same.
+
+No testing has been done on three-pass or handheld scanners, or with
+Automatic Document Feeder support.

+This backend, based on cloning original Canon drivers protocols, is in

+Users feedback is essential to help improve features and performances. 
+.SH OPTIONS
+Besides "well-known" options (e.g. resolution, mode etc.) pixma backend also
+provides the following
+\#.B experimental
+options for button handling, i.e. the options might change in the future.
+.br
+The button status can be polled i.e. with 'scanimage -A'.
+.br
+Button scan is disabled on MAC OS X due to darwin libusb not handling
+timeouts in usb interrupt reads.
+.TP
+.I button\-controlled
+This option can be used by applications (like
+.BR scanadf (1)
+and
+.BR scanimage (1))
+in batch mode, for example when you want to scan many photos or
+multiple-page documents. If it is enabled (i.e. is set to true or yes), the
+backend waits before every scan until the user presses the "SCAN" button
+(for MP150) or the color-scan button (for other models). Just put the
+first page in the scanner, press the button, then the next page, press
+the button and so on. When you finished, press the gray-scan button. (For
+MP150 you have to stop the frontend by pressing Ctrl-C for example.)
+.TP
+.I button\-update
+(write only) In the past this option was required to be set to force 
+reading of the button status for
+.I button\-1
+and
+.I button\-2.
+The

+.TP
+.I button\-1 button\-2
+(read only) These options will return the value of the respective buttons.
+value 0 means that the button was not pressed, 1 is returned when the button 
+was pressed. Some scanners with more than two buttons send the button number
+as target.
+.TP
+.I original
+(read only) Returns the value of the type or size of original to be scanned
+if the scanner provides that data. Known values of type: 1 = document, 2 = foto,
+5 = film. Known values of size: 1 = A4, 2 = Letter, 8 = 10x15, 9 = 13x18, b = auto.
+Not all scanners can provide this data.
+.TP
+.I target
+(read only) Returns the value of the target of the scan operation if the scanner
+provides that data. The values depend on the scanner type. Known values:
+1 = save to disk, 2 = save to pdf, 3 = send to email, 4 = send to application
+or 1 = JPEG, 2 = TIFF, 3 = PDF, 4 = Compact PDF. For some scanners this value
+is equivalent to the number of the pressed button. Not all scanners can provide
+this data.
+.TP
+.I scan-resolution
+(read only) Returns the resolution of the scan operation if the scanner
+provides that data. Known values: 1 = 75 dpi, 2 = 150 dpi, 3 = 300 dpi,
+4 = 600 dpi. Not all scanners can provide this data.
+.SH FILES

+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-pixma.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that

+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/pixma.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below). The files contains an optional list of scanners. Normally only scanners
+that can not be auto-detected because they are on a different subnet shall be
+listed here. If your OS does not allow enumeration of interfaces (i.e. it does not
+support the getifaddrs() function) you may need to add your scanner here as well.
+Scanners shall be listed as:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I bjnp://<host>
+.RE
+.RS
+where host is the hostname or IP address of the scanner, e.g. bjnp://10.0.1.4 
+for IPv4, bjnp://[2001:888:118e:18e2:21e:8fff:fe36:b64a] for a literal 
+IPv6-address or bjnp://myscanner.mydomain.org. Define each scanner on a new 
+line.
+.SH USB SUPPORT
+USB scanners will be auto-detected and require no configuration.
+.SH NETWORKING SUPPORT
+The pixma backend supports network scanners using the so called Canon BJNP 
+protocol. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
+.PP
+Configuration is normally not required.
+The pixma backend will auto-detect your scanner if it is within
+the same subnet as your computer if your OS does support this.
+.PP
+If your scanner can not be auto-detected, you can add it to the pixma 
+configuration file (see above).
+.SH FIREWALLING FOR NETWORKED SCANNERS
+The sane pixma backend communicates with port 8612 on the scanner. So
+you will have to allow outgoing traffic TO port 8612 on the common subnet
+for scanning.
+.PP
+Scanner detection is slightly more complicated. The pixma backend sends
+a broadcast on all direct connected subnets it can find (provided your OS 
+allows for enumeration of all netowrk interfaces). The broadcast is sent FROM 
+port 8612 TO port 8612 on the broadcast address of each interface.
+The outgoing packets will be allowed by the rule described above.
+.PP
+Responses from the scanner are sent back to the computer TO port 8612.
+Connection tracking however does not see a match as the response does not come
+from the broadcast address but from the scanners own address.
+For automatic detection of your scanner, you will therefore have to allow 
+incoming packets TO port 8612 on your computer.
+.PP
+So in short: open the firewall for all traffic from your computer to port 8612 
+AND to port 8612 to your computer.
+.PP
+With the firewall rules above there is no need to add the scanner to the
+pixma.conf file, unless the scanner is on a network that is not directly
+connected to your computer.

+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
+directories.  For example, setting

+800dpi, so scaling is necessary, because the sensor only 
+delivers 600dpi but the motor is capable to perform 
+1200dpi steps.
+.PP
+* Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent. They 
+sell technically different devices under the

+the one your device has.
+.PP

+.SH NAME
+sane\-plustek_pp \- SANE backend for Plustek parallel port
+flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-plustek_pp
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to Plustek ASIC 9600[1/3] and P9800[1/3] based
+parallel port flatbed scanners.
+The access of the scanner is either done directly by the backend
+or via kernel module, called pt_drv which can be created out of
+the plustek_pp backend code \- see also section
+.B "BUILDING THE KERNEL MODULE"
+for further information. 
+
+.SH "SUPPORTED DEVICES"
+
+At present, the following scanners should work with this backend

+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend works in two modes, the so called "direct-mode"
+and the "kernel-mode". In direct-mode, the user-space backend is
+used, in kernel-mode, you should have a kernel-module named pt_drv
+loaded.
+This backends default device is:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I 0x378
+.RE
+.PP
+This "default device" will be used, if no configuration
+file can be found. It is rather the base address of the parallel port
+on i386 machines.
+.PP
+As the backend supports up to four devices, it is possible to
+specify them in the configuration file
+.PP
+.RS
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/plustek_pp.conf
+.RE
+.PP
+See this file for examples.
+.PP
+
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+.PP
+This section describes the backends' configuration file entries.
+The file is located at:
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/plustek_pp.conf
+.PP
+For a proper setup, you will need at least two entries:
+.RS
+.I [direct]
+.br
+.I device 0x378
+.RE
+.PP
+or
+.RS
+.I [kernel]
+.br
+.I device /dev/pt_drv
+.RE
+.PP
+.I direct
+tells the backend, that the following devicename (here
+.IR 0x378 )
+has to be interpreted as parallel port scanner device. In
+fact it is the address to use, alternatively you can use
+.I /dev/parport0
+if the backend has been compiled with libieee1284 support.
+.I kernel
+should only be used, when a kernel-module has been built
+out of the backend sources. See below for more instructions
+about this.

+
+.SH "BUILDING THE KERNEL MODULE"
+As mentioned before, the plustek_pp backend code can also
+be compiled and installed as linux kernel module. To do so,
+you will need the source-files of this sane\-backend installation.
+Unpack this tar-ball and go to the directory:
+.br
+.I sane\-backends/doc/plustek
+.br
+Within this directory, you should find a script called:
+.br
+.I MakeModule.sh
+.br
+Now if your Linux kernelsources are installed correctly, 
+it should be possible to build, install and load the 
+module
+.B pt_drv.
+.B Please note, 
+that the kernelsources need to be configured correctly.
+Refer to your distributions 
+manual on how this is done. As root user, try
+.br
+.I ./MakeModule.sh
+.br
+the script will try and get all necessary information about your
+running kernel and will lead you through the whole installation
+process.
+.br
+.B Note: Installing and loading the can only be done as 
+superuser.
+.PP
+
+.SH "KERNEL MODULE SETUP"
+The configuration of the kernel module is done by providing
+some or more options found below to the kernel module at
+load time. This can be done by invoking insmod with the
+appropriate parameters or appending the options to the file
+.B /etc/modules.conf (kernel < 2.6.x)
+or
+.B /etc/modprobe.conf (kernel >= 2.6.x)
+.PP
+.B
+The Options:
+.br
+lampoff=lll
+.RS
+The value
+.I lll
+tells the driver, after how many seconds to
+switch-off the lamp(s). The default value is 180.
+0 will disable this feature.
+.br
+.B HINT:
+Do not use a value that is too small, because often
+switching on/off the lamps will reduce their lifetime.
+.RE
+.PP

+.PP
+
+.SH "PARALLEL PORT MODES"
+.PP
+The current driver works best, when the parallel port
+has been set to EPP-mode. When detecting any other
+mode such as ECP or PS/2 the driver tries to set to a
+faster, supported mode. If this fails, it will use the
+SPP mode, as this mode should work with all Linux supported
+parallel ports. If in doubt, enter your BIOS and set it to
+any mode except ECP.
+.PP
+Former Plustek scanner models (4830, 9630) supplied a
+ISA parallel port adapter card. This card is
+.BR not
+supported by the driver.
+.PP
+The ASIC 96001/3 based models have sometimes trouble with
+high resolution modes. If you encounter sporadic corrupted
+images (parts duplicated or shifted horizontally) kill all
+other applications before scanning and (if sufficient
+memory available) disable swapping.

+.PP
+* The Halftoning works, but the quality is poor
+.PP
+* Printers (especially HP models) will start to
+print during scanning. This in fact is a problem
+to other printers too, using bidirectional protocol
+(see www.plustek.com (TAIWAN) page for further details)
+.PP
+* The driver does not support these manic scalings up
+to 16 times the physical resolution. The only scaling
+is done on resolutions between the physical resolution
+of the CCD-sensor and the stepper motor i.e. you have a
+600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi,
+so scaling is necessary, because the sensor only delivers
+600dpi but the motor is capable to perform 800dpi steps.
+.PP
+* On some devices, the pictures seems bluish
+.PP
+.I ASIC 98001 based models:
+.PP
+* The 300dpi transparency and negative mode does not work
+correctly.
+.PP
+* There is currently no way to distinguish a model with
+and without transparency unit.
+.PP
+* The scanned images seem to be too dark (P9636T)
+.PP
+.I ASIC 96003/1 based models:
+.PP
+* 30bit mode is currently not supported.
+.PP
+* On low end systems under heavy system load the
+driver may lose data, which can result in picture 
+corruption or cause the sensor to hit the scan bed.
+.PP
+* The scanning speed on 600x1200 dpi models is slow.

+.SH BUGS
+If the pnm backend is installed and saned is used to allow users on remote
+computers to scan on the local machine, pnm files can be read by the remote
+user. This is limited to the files saned can access (usually it's running as
+user "sane"). All pnm files can be read if saned runs as root which isn't
+recommended anyway. The pnm backend is disabled by default. If you want to use
+it, enable it with configure (see configure \-\-help for details). Be sure that
+only trusted users can access the pnm backend over saned.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The

+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"

+.PP
+Where
+.I port
+is the I/O port address at which the device resides.  This address is
+normally specified in hexadecimal using C syntax (e.g., 0x37b) and may
+be prefixed with the letter "u" (e.g., u0x37b) to force the backend to
+access the camera in uni-directional mode.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I qcam.conf
+file is a list port addresses that may be connected to a
+Connectix QuickCam.  Empty lines and everything starting from a hash
+mark (#) up to the end of a line are ignored.  A sample configuration
+file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+0x37b  # /dev/lp0
+.br
+0x378  # /dev/lp1
+.br
+u0x278 # /dev/lp2 forced in uni-directional mode
+.br
+0x3bc  # /dev/lp0 (alternate address)
+.RE
+.PP
+In general, it is safest to list only the port addresses that really
+correspond to a QuickCam.  For example, if one of the listed addresses
+actually connect to a printer, then starting up this backend will
+cause the printer to perform a device reset (which is generally
+undesirable).

+.SH NAME
+sane\-scsi \- SCSI adapter tips for scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page contains various operating-system specific tips and
+tricks on how to get scanners with a SCSI interface working.
+.SH GENERAL INFO
+For scanners with a SCSI interface, it may be necessary to edit the
+appropriate backend configuration file before using SANE for the first
+time.  For most systems, the configuration file should list the name
+of the generic SCSI device that the scanner is connected to (e.g., under
+Linux,
+.B /dev/sg4
+or
+.B /dev/sge
+is such a generic SCSI device).  It is customary to create a symlink
+from
+.B /dev/scanner
+to the generic SCSI device that the scanner is connected to.  In this
+case, the configuration file simply lists the line
+.BR /dev/scanner .
+For a detailed description of each backend's configuration file,
+please refer to the relevant backend manual page (e.g., 
+.BR sane\-epson (5)
+for Epson scanners, 
+.BR sane\-hp (5)
+for HP scanners, etc.).
+.PP
+For some operating systems (e.g. Linux and OS/2), there is an alternate way of
+specifying scanner devices.  This alternate way allows to identify scanners by
+the SCSI vendor and model string and/or by the SCSI device address (consisting
+of bus number, channel number, id, and logical unit number).  The syntax for
+specifying a scanner in this way is:
+.PP
+.RS
+scsi
+.I VENDOR MODEL TYPE BUS CHANNEL ID LUN
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I VENDOR
+is the SCSI vendor string,
+.I MODEL
+is the SCSI model string,
+.I TYPE
+is type SCSI device type string,
+.I BUS
+is the SCSI bus number (named "host" in /proc/scsi/scsi),
+.I CHANNEL
+is the SCSI channel number,
+.I ID
+is the SCSI id, and
+.I LUN
+is the logical unit number of the scanner device.  The first two fields are
+strings which must be enclosed in double-quotes if they contain any
+whitespace.  The remaining four fields are non-negative integer numbers.  The
+correct values for these fields can be found by using operating system
+specific tools, e.g. for Linux by looking at the output of the command "cat
+/proc/scsi/scsi".  To simplify configuration, a field's value can be replaced
+with an asterisk symbol (``*'').  An asterisk has the effect that any value is
+allowed for that particular field.  This can have the effect that a single
+scsi-line matches multiple devices.  When this happens, each matching device
+will be probed by the backend one by one and registered if the backend thinks
+it is a compatible device.  For example, the line
+.PP
+.RS
+scsi MUSTEK MFS\-06000CX Scanner 0 00 03 00 
+.RE
+.PP
+would attach the Mustek SCSI scanner with the following /proc/scsi/scsi entry:
+.PP
+.RS 2
+.ft CR
+.nf
+Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
+  Vendor: MUSTEK   Model: MFS\-06000CX Rev: 4.04
+  Type:   Scanner  ANSI SCSI revision: 0
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.PP
+Usually it's sufficient to use vendor and model strings only or even only the
+vendor string. The following example
+.PP
+.RS
+scsi MUSTEK * * * * * * 
+.RE
+.PP
+would have the effect that all SCSI devices in the system with a
+vendor string of MUSTEK would be probed and recognized by the backend.
+.PP
+If the remainder of a scsi-string consists of asterisks only, the
+asterisks can be omitted.  For example, the following line is
+equivalent to the one specified previously:
+.PP
+.RS
+scsi MUSTEK
+.RE
+.PP
+On some platforms (e.g., OpenStep), SANE device names take a special
+form.  This is explained below in the relevant platform-specific section.
+.PP
+When using a SCSI scanner, ensure that the access permission for the
+generic SCSI device is set appropriately.  We recommend to add a group
+"scanner" to /etc/group which contains all users that should have
+access to the scanner.  The permission of the device should then be
+set to allow group read and write access.  For example, if the scanner
+is at generic SCSI device
+.BR /dev/sg0 ,
+then the following two commands would set the permission correctly:
+.PP
+.RS
+$ chgrp scanner /dev/sg0
+.br
+$ chmod 660 /dev/sg0
+.br
+.RE
+.PP
+When your system uses the device filesystem (devfs), you have to edit
+.BR /etc/devfs/perms.
+There you should search the line
+.PP
+.RS
+REGISTER ^sg[^/]* PERMISSIONS root.root 0600
+.RE
+.PP
+and add a new line (eg. for changing permissions of sg4):
+.PP
+.RS
+REGISTER ^sg4 PERMISSIONS root.scanner 0660
+.RE
+.PP
+.SH FREEBSD INFO
+Auto-configuration using the "scsi *" lines in the config files only works if
+the user running the frontend has read/write access to /dev/xpt0. Instead, you
+can also set a link

+.RE
+
+.SH LINUX INFO
+First, make sure your kernel has SCSI generic support enabled.  In
+``make xconfig'', this shows up under ``SCSI support->SCSI generic
+support''.
+.PP
+
+To keep scanning times to a minimum, it is strongly recommended to use a large
+buffer size for the generic SCSI driver. From SG driver version 2.0 on, the
+maximum buffer size can be changed at program run time, and there is no restriction in size. This driver version is part of the Linux kernels from
+version 2.2.7 on. If the new SG driver is available some backends
+(e.g. sane\-umax, sane\-mustek, sane\-sharp) automatically request larger scsi
+buffers. If a backend does not automatically request a larger scsi buffer, set
+the environment variable
+.B SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE
+to the desired buffer size in bytes. It is not recommended to use more 
+than 1 MB, because for large values the probability increases that the 
+SG driver cannot allocate the necessary buffer(s). For ISA cards, even 
+1 MB might be a too large value. For a detailed discussion of memory 
+issues of the SG driver, see http://www.torque.net/sg.
+.PP
+For Linux kernels before version 2.2.7 the size of the buffer is only 32KB.
+This works, but for many cheaper scanners this causes scanning to be slower by
+about a factor of four than when using a size of 127KB.  Linux defines the
+size of this buffer by macro
+.B SG_BIG_BUFF
+in header file
+.IR /usr/include/scsi/sg.h .
+Unless a system is seriously short on memory, it is recommended to increase
+this value to the maximum legal value of 128*1024-512=130560 bytes.  After
+changing this value, it is necessary to recompile both the kernel (or the SCSI
+generic module) and the SCSI backends. Keep in mind that this is only
+necessary with older Linux kernels.
+
+.PP
+A common issue with SCSI scanners is what to do when you booted
+the system while the scanner was turned off?  In such a case, the
+scanner won't be recognized by the kernel and SANE won't be able
+to access it.  Fortunately, Linux provides a simple mechanism to
+probe a SCSI device on demand.  Suppose you have a scanner connected
+to SCSI bus 2 and the scanner has a SCSI id of 5.  When the system
+is up and running and the scanner is turned on, you can issue
+the command:
+.PP
+.RS
+echo "scsi add\-single\-device 2 0 5 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
+.RE
+.PP
+and the kernel will probe and recognize your scanner (this needs to be
+done as root).  It's also possible to dynamically remove a SCSI device
+by using the ``remove\-single\-device'' command.  For details, please
+refer to to the SCSI-2.4-HOWTO.
+.PP
+Scanners are known to work with the following SCSI adapters under Linux. This
+list isn't complete, usually any SCSI adapter supported by Linux should work.
+.PP
+.RS
+.TP
+Acard/Advance SCSI adapters
+Some old versions of the kernel driver (atp870u.c) cut the inquiry information.
+Therefore the scanner couldn't be detected correctly. Use a current kernel.
+.TP
+Adaptec AHA-1505/AHA-1542/AHA-2940
+Reported to work fine with Linux since v2.0. If you encounter kernel freezes
+or other unexpected behaviour get the latest Linux kernel (2.2.17 seems to
+work) or reduce SCSI buffer size to 32 kB.
+.TP
+ASUS SC200
+Reported to work fine with Linux v2.0.
+.TP
+BusLogic BT958
+To configure the BusLogic card, you may need to follow
+these instructions (contributed by Jeremy <jeremy@xxedgexx.com>):
+During boot, when your BusLogic adapter is being initialized, press
+Ctrl-B to enter your BusLogic adapter setup.  Choose the address which
+your BusLogic containing your scanner is located. Choose ``SCSI Device
+Configuration''.  Choose ``Scan SCSI Bus''.  Choose whatever SCSI id
+that contains your scanner and then choose ``View/Modify SCSI
+configuration''.  Change ``Negotiation'' to ``async'' and change
+``Disconnect'' to ``off''. Press Esc, save, and Esc again until you
+are asked to reboot.

+NCR/Symbios 53c400/53c400a or Domex DTC3181E/L/LE (DTCT436/436P) ISA SCSI card
+This card is supplied by Mustek (and other vendors). It's supported since
+Linux 2.2.  The SCSI cards are supported by the module g_NCR5380.  It's
+necessary to tell the kernel the io port and type of card.  Example for a
+53c400a: ``modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_addr=0x280 ncr_53c400a=1''.  Once the kernel
+detects the card, it should work all right.  However, while it should work, do
+not expect good performance out of this card---it has no interrupt line and
+therefore while a scan is in progress, the system becomes almost unusable.
+You may change the values of the USLEEP macros in drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c.
+Some documentation is in this file and NCR5380.c.
+.TP
+NCR/Symbios 810 
+For some scanners it may be necessary to disable disconnect/reconnect. To
+achieve this use the option ncr53c8xx="disc:n". Some people reported that
+their scanner only worked with the 53c7,8xx driver, not the ncr53c8xx. Try
+both if you have trouble.
+.br
+For Linux kernels before 2.0.33 it may be necessary to increase the SCSI
+timeout. The default timeout for the Linux kernels before 2.0.33 is 10
+seconds, which is way too low when scanning large area.  If you get messages
+of the form ``restart (ncr dead ?)'' in your /var/log/messages file or on the
+system console, it's an indication that the timeout is too short.  In this
+case, find the line ``if (np->latetime>10)'' in file ncr53c8xx.c (normally in
+directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi) and change the constant 10 to, say, 60
+(one minute).  Then rebuild the kernel/module and try again.
+.TP
+Tekram DC315
+The driver can be downloaded from http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/.
+For some older scanners it may be necessary to disable all the more advanced
+features by using e.g. modprobe dc395x_trm dc395x_trm=7,5,1,32.
+.TP
+Tekram DC390
+Version 1.11 of the Tekram driver seems to work fine mostly, except
+that the scan does not terminate properly (it causes a SCSI timeout
+after 10 minutes).  The generic AM53C974 also seems to work fine
+and does not suffer from the timeout problems.
+
+.SH SOLARIS, OPENSTEP AND NEXTSTEP INFO
+Under Solaris, OpenStep and NeXTStep, the generic SCSI device name
+refers to a SCSI bus, not to an individual device.  For example,
+.B /dev/sg0
+refers to the first SCSI bus.  To tell SANE which device to use,
+append the character 'a'+target-id to the special device name.  For
+example, the SCSI device connected to the first SCSI controller
+and with target-id 0 would be called
+.BR /dev/sg0a ,
+and the device with target-id 1 on that same bus would be
+called
+.BR /dev/sg0b,
+and so on.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment
+variable controls the debug level for the generic SCSI I/O subsystem.  E.g., a
+value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed by the backend. A value
+of 255 also prints kernel messages from the SCSI subsystem (where available).
+Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
+.TP
+.B SANE_SCSICMD_TIMEOUT
+sets the timeout value for SCSI commands in seconds. Overriding the default 
+value of 120 seconds should only be necessary for very slow scanners.

+
+.SH ADF USAGE
+If a paper jam occurred, the maintenance cover
+.I
+must
+be opened and closed, even if the jammed paper can be removed without opening
+the maintenance cover. Otherwise, the error condition cannot be cleared.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the 
+.I sharp.conf
+file is a list of options and device names that correspond to Sharp 
+scanners. Empty lines and lines beginning with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored. See sane\-scsi(5) for details about device names.
+.PP
+Lines setting an option start with the key word
+.B option,
+followed by the option's name and the option's value. At present, three
+options are defined: 
+.B buffers, buffersize, 
+and
+.B readqueue. 
+.PP
+Options defined at the start of 
+.I sharp.conf
+apply to all devices; options defined after a
+device name apply to this device.
+.PP
+The options 
+.B buffers
+and
+.B
+readqueue
+are only significant if the backend has been compiled
+so that for each scan a second process is forked (switch 
+.B USE_FORK
+in 
+.I sharp.c
+). This process reads the
+scan data from the scanner and writes this data into a block of shared memory.
+The parent process reads the data from this memory block and delivers it 
+to the frontend. The options control the size and usage of this shared 
+memory block.
+.PP
+.B option buffers
+defines the number of buffers used. The smallest number allowed is 2. 
+.PP
+.B option buffersize
+defines the size of one buffer. Since each buffer is filled with a 
+single read command sent to the scanner, its size is limited automatically
+to the size allowed by the operating system or by the Sane SCSI library
+for SCSI read commands. A buffer size of 128 kB or 256 kB is recommended
+for scan resolutions of 300 dpi and above.
+.PP
+.B option readqueue 
+defines how many read commands to be sent to the scanner
+are queued. At present, the Sane SCSI library supports queued read 
+commands only for for Linux. For other operating systems, 
+.B option readqueue
+should be set to 0. For Linux, 
+.B option readqueue
+should be set to 2. Larger values than 2 for
+.B option readqueue
+are not reasonable in most cases.
+.B option buffers
+should be greater than 
+.B option readqueue.
+
+.SH Performance Considerations
+This section focuses on the problem of stops of the scanner's carriage
+during a scan. Carriage stops happen mainly with the JX-250. This scanner 
+has obviously only a small internal buffer compared to its speed. That 
+means that the backend must read the data as fast as possible from the 
+scanner in order to avoid carriage stops. 
+.PP
+Even the JX-250 needs only less than 10 seconds for a 400 dpi A4 gray 
+scale scan, which results in a data transfer rate of more than 1.6 MB 
+per second. This means that the data produced by the scanner must be 
+processed fairly fast. Due to the small internal buffer of the JX-250,
+the backend must issue a read request for the next data block as soon
+as possible after reading a block of data in order to avoid carriage
+stops.
+.PP
+Stops of the carriage can be caused by the following reasons:
+.PP
+.RS
+\- too much "traffic" on the SCSI bus
+.br
+\- slow responses by the backend to the scanner,
+.br
+\- a program which processes the data acquired by the backend too slow.
+.PP
+.RE
+Too much "traffic" on the SCSI bus: This happens for example, if hard disks
+are connected to the same SCSI bus as the scanner, and when data transfer 
+from/to these hard disks requires a considerable part of the SCSI bandwidth
+during a scan. If this is the case, you should consider to connect the 
+scanner to a separate SCSI adapter.
+.PP
+Slow responses by the backend to the scanner: Unfortunately,
+Unix-like operating systems generally have no real time capabilities.
+Thus there is no guarantee that the backend is under any circumstances
+able to communicate with the scanner as fast as required. To minimize this
+problem, the backend should be compiled so that a separate reader process 
+is forked: Make sure that
+.B USE_FORK
+is defined when you compile 
+.I sharp.c.
+If slow responses of the backend remain to be problem, you could try to
+reduce the load of the system. Even while the backend and the reader 
+process need only a minor amount of processor time, other running 
+processes can cause an increase in the time delay between two time
+slices given to the reader process. On slower systems, such an 
+increased delay can be enough to cause a carriage stop with the JX-250.
+For Linux, the usage of the SG driver version 2.1.36 or above is
+recommended, because it supports, in combination with
+the SCSI library of Sane version 1.0.2, command queueing within the kernel.
+This queueing implementation, combined with a buffer size of at least
+128 kB, should avoid most carriage stops.
+.PP
+Slow processing of the scan data: An example for this situation is
+the access to the scanner via a 10 MBit Ethernet, which is definitely
+too slow to transfer the scan data as fast as they are produced by the
+scanner. If you have enough memory available, you can increase 
+.B option buffers,
+so that an entire image can be stored in these buffers. 
+.PP
+In order to see, if the backend is too slow or if the further processing
+of the data is too slow, set the environment variable
+.B SANE_DEBUG_SHARP
+to 1. When a scan is finished, the backend writes the line "buffer full
+conditions: 
+.I nn"
+to stderr. If
+.I nn
+is zero, carriage stops are caused by too slow responses of the backend
+or too much "traffic" on the SCSI bus. If 
+.I nn
+is greater than zero, the backend had to wait
+.I nn
+times until a buffer has been processed by the frontend. (Please note that
+.B option buffers
+must be greater than
+.B option readqueue
+in order to get useful output for "buffer full conditions".)

+.SH KNOWN PROBLEMS
+1. ADF Mode
+.RS
+After several ADF scans, the scanner moves the carriage back to the idle
+position and back to ADF scan position, before a scan starts. We do not 
+know, if this is a problem of the scanner, or if this is a bug of the 
+backend. At present, the scanner must power off and on to stop this
+annoying behaviour.
+.RE
+
+2. Threshold level does not work (only JX-610)
+.PP
+3. The maximum resolution is limited to 600 dpi(JX-610 supported 
+to 1200 dpi) resp. 400 dpi (JX-250)
+.PP
+4. If the JX250 is used with an ADF, the following situation can occur: After
+several scans, the scanner moves, after loading a new sheet of paper, the
+carriage to the idle position, and then back to the position used for ADF
+scans. This happens for 
+.I
+every
+scan, in contrast to the calibration, which is done after 10 scans. (For the
+calibration, the carriage is also moved to the idle position.) We do not
+know, if this behavior is caused by the backend, or if it is a bug in the

+.B sane\-snapscan
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
+access to AGFA SnapScan flatbed scanners. At present, the following scanners
+are supported from this backend: AGFA SnapScan 300, 310, 600, and 1236s,
+1236u, 1212u, e20, e25,
+e40, e50, e60, Vuego 310s, Acer 300f, 310s, 610s, 610plus, Prisa 620s, Prisa
+620u, Prisa 620ut, Prisa 640u, Prisa 640bu, Prisa 1240, Prisa 3300, Prisa
+4300, Prisa 5300 and Guillemot Maxi Scan A4 Deluxe (SCSI) (with
+varying success).
+.PP
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a
+SCSI scanner. For SCSI
+scanners, the special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a
+symlink to such a device.  Under Linux, such a device name could be
+.I /dev/sga
+or
+.IR /dev/sge ,
+for example.  See sane\-scsi(5) for details.
+.P
+For USB scanners the devicename must contain the keyword "usb", as in 
+.I /dev/usbscanner 
+or
+.IR /dev/usb/scanner0 .
+For scanners that need a firmware upload before scanning add a line starting
+with "firmware" followed by the fully qualified path to your firmware file,
+e.g.
+.PP
+.RS
+firmware @DATADIR@/sane/snapscan/firmware.bin
+.RE
+.PP
+For further details read http://snapscan.sourceforge.net.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I snapscan.conf
+file is a list of device names that correspond to SnapScan
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  See sane\-scsi(5) on details of what constitutes a valid
+device name.
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/snapscan.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-snapscan.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-snapscan.so

+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are
+separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a
+semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file
+is searched in two default directories: first, the current working
+directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the
+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
+directories.  For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The

+provides access to the Fujitsu flatbed scanners.
+At present, the following
+scanner is known to work with these backend:
+.PP

+Vendor:  Model:           Rev:
+-------- ---------------- -----
+FCPA     ScanPartner 15C  1.01
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.P
+
+The ScanPartner 15C driver supports
+lineart (1-bit), halftone (1-bit),
+grayscale (4-bit and 8-bit),
+and color (3 x 8-bit) scanning.
+
+Other scanners in these families may work.
+The ScanPartner 15C seems to be a repackaging
+of the ScanPartner 600C.
+People are encouraged to try these driver with the other scanners
+and to contact the author with test results.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+A modest effort has been made to expose the standard options to the API.
+This allows frontends such as xscanimage to set scanning region,
+resolution, bit-depth (and color), and enable the automatic document feeder.

+.SH LIMITATIONS
+Testing limited to a Linux 2.2.5 kernel

+Can't quite get the scan page/minute performance in ADF modes.
+This may be due to limited system buffer size.
+
+.SH BUGS
+I'm sure there are plenty, and not too well hidden,
+but I haven't seen them yet.
+.br
+Both scanners claim to have separate control
+of resolution in X and Y directions.
+I confess I haven't tested this yet.
+I have found that xsane doesn't even display this capability.
+.br
+Threshold settings on the SP15C don't seem to
+affect the results of lineart mode scans.
+.br
+It might be possible to merge these two drivers without much effort
+since the SP15C driver was derived from the M3096G driver.
+They were split so as to keep the second driver development from breaking
+the working first driver.
+Watch this space for changes.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-st400 \- SANE backend for Siemens ST/Highscan flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-st400
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to Siemens ST400 flatbed scanners and compatibles.
+At present, the following scanners are supported by this backend:
+.PP
+.RS
+Siemens ST400 (6 bit gray scale)
+.br
+Siemens ST800 (6 bit gray scale)
+.br
+.RE
+.PP
+The driver supports line art and gray scans up to 8bpp.
+.PP
+The Siemens ST/Highscan series includes several more models, e.g. the ST300
+and ST600.  If you own one of these scanners, or a scanner other than the
+ones listed above that works with this backend, please let us know by sending
+the scanner's model name, SCSI ID, and firmware revision to
+.IR sane\-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org .
+Have a look at http://www.sane\-project.org/mailing\-lists.html concerning subscription
+to sane\-devel.
+
+.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
+This backend expects device names of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.I special
+.RE
+.PP
+Where
+.I special
+is either the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a
+SCSI scanner. For SCSI scanners, the special device name must be a
+generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.  Under Linux, such
+a device name could be
+.I /dev/sga
+or
+.IR /dev/sge ,
+for example.  See sane\-scsi(5) for details.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The contents of the
+.I st400.conf
+file is a list of device names that correspond to Siemens
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.  A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+/dev/scanner
+.br
+# this is a comment
+.br
+/dev/sge
+.RE
+.PP
+The default configuration file that is distributed with SANE looks like
+this:
+.PP
+.RS
+scsi SIEMENS "ST 400" Scanner * * 3 0
+.RE
+.PP
+In this configuration, the driver can only access the ST400 model
+at SCSI ID 3 LUN 0 (see section "BUGS" below for the reason).
+To use the driver with other scanner models, add an appropriate line to
+the configuration file.  For example, to use it with an ST800 at SCSI
+ID 3 LUN 0, add the line:
+.PP
+.RS
+scsi SIEMENS "ST 800" Scanner * * 3 0
+.RE
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/st400.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-st400.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-st400.so

+support dynamic loading).
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are
+separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a
+semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file

+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_ST400
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment
+variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g., a value of 128
+requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
+
+.SH MISSING FUNCTIONALITY
+
+Everything but the most basic stuff.
+
+.SH BUGS
+Currently, the backend does not check if the attached device really is
+a ST400.  It will happily accept everything that matches the configuration
+entries.  This makes it easy to test the backend with other scanners:
+Just add an appropriate line to the configuration file.  The configuration
+file as distributed (see above) only works with the ST400.  Be careful:
+If there is no config file at all, the backend defaults to /dev/scanner.
+.PP
+The ST400 answers on all eight SCSI LUNs.  Normally this is not a problem,
+as LUN support is usually disabled in SCSI drivers, but if you are seeing
+multiple instances of the scanner in a device list, either disable LUNs in
+your SCSI setup or change the entry in the configuration file to match
+LUN 0 only.
+
+.SH DEBUG
+If you encounter a bug please set the environment variable
+SANE_DEBUG_ST400 to 128 and try to regenerate the problem. Then
+send me a report with the log attached.
+.PP
+If you encounter a SCSI bus error or trimmed and/or displaced images please
+also set the environment variable SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI to 128 before sending
+me the report.

+.TH sane\-test 5 "14 Jul 2008" "@PACKAGEVERSION@" "SANE Scanner Access Now Easy"
+.IX sane\-test
+.SH NAME
+sane\-test \- SANE backend for testing frontends
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-test
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that allows
+testing the SANE installation and SANE frontends.  It provides access to a
+(nearly) unlimited number of virtual devices.  There is no support for real
+scanners or cameras.  However, the backend simulates scanning and setting
+options.
+.PP
+The idea is not only to find bugs in frontends but also to show all
+capabilities of SANE.  Therefore
+.B sane\-test
+implements functions and options that are not (or seldom) found in other
+backends. 
+.PP
+The backend is commented out in @CONFIGDIR@/dll.conf, so either the comment
+character must be removed or the backend must be called explicitly.  E.g. 
+`scanimage \-d test' or `xscanimage test'.
+
+.SH SCAN MODE OPTIONS
+Option
+.B mode
+selects the scan mode (Gray or Color).
+.PP
+Option
+.B depth
+determines the number of bits per sample (1. 8, or 16).  Keep in mind, that
+this value refers to the sample, not the pixel.  So depth=16 results in 48
+bits per pixel in color mode. The most usual combinations are mode=Gray,
+depth=1 for lineart, mode=Gray, depth=8 for gray and mode=Color, depth=8 for
+color mode.  The combination of color and 1-bit mode is quite obscure (8
+colors) but allowed in the SANE standard. However, the meaning of bits is not
+defined. Currently 1 = high intensity and 0 = low intensity is used.
+.PP
+Setting option
+.B hand\-scanner
+results in the test-backend behaving like a hand-scanner.  Hand-scanners do
+not know the image height a priori.  Instead, they return a height of \-1.
+Setting this option allows to test whether a frontend can handle this
+correctly.  This option also enables a fixed width of 11 cm.
+.PP
+Setting option
+.B three\-pass
+simulates a three-pass scanner.  Older color scanners needed to scan the image
+once per color (reg/green/blue) to get the full image.  Therefore, in this mode
+three single frames are transmitted in color mode.
+.PP
+Option
+.B three\-pass\-order
+provides support for changing the order of the three frames (see option
+three-pass above).  A frontend should support all orders.
+.PP
+Option
+.B resolution
+sets the resolution of the image in dots per inch.
+.PP
+.PP
+Option
+.B source
+can be used to simulate an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). After 10 scans, the
+ADF will be "empty".
+.PP
+
+.SH SPECIAL OPTIONS
+Option
+.B test\-picture
+allows to set the image that's returned to the frontend.  While "Solid white"
+and "Solid black" are quite obvious, the other options need some more
+explanation.  Color patterns are used to determine if all modes and their
+colors are represented correctly by the frontend.  The grid should look like the
+same in every mode and resolution.  A table of all the test pictures can be
+found at: http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/test\-backend/test\-pictures.html.
+.PP
+If option
+.B invert\-endianess
+is set, the upper and lower bytes of image data in 16 bit modes are exchanged.
+This option can be used to test the 16 bit modes of frontends, e.g. if the
+frontend uses the correct endianess.
+.PP
+If option
+.B read\-limit
+is set, the maximum amount of data transferred with each call to sane_read() is
+limited.
+.PP
+Option 
+.B read\-limit\-size
+sets the limit for option read-limit.  A low limit slows down scanning.  It
+can be used to detect errors in frontend that occur because of wrong
+assumptions on the size of the buffer or timing problems.
+.PP
+Option
+.B read\-delay
+enables delaying data to the frontend.
+.PP
+Option
+.B read\-delay\-duration
+selects the number of microseconds the backends waits after each transfer of a
+buffer.  This option is useful to find timing-related bugs, especially if
+used over the network.
+.PP
+If option
+.B read\-return\-value
+is different from "Default", the selected status will be returned by every
+call to sane_read().  This is useful to test the frontend's handling of the
+SANE statuses.
+.PP
+If option
+.B ppl\-loss
+is different from 0, it determines the number of pixels that are "lost" at the
+end of each line.  That means, lines are padded with unused data.
+.PP
+Option
+.B fuzzy\-parameters
+selects that fuzzy (inexact) parameters are returned as long as the scan
+hasn't been started.  This option can be used to test if the frontend uses the
+parameters it got before the start of the scan (which it shouldn't).
+.PP
+Option
+.B non\-blocking
+determines if non-blocking IO for sane_read() should be used if supported by
+the frontend.
+.PP
+If option
+.B select\-fd
+is set, the backend offers a select filedescriptor for detecting if
+sane_read() will return data.
+.PP
+If option
+.B enable\-test\-options
+is set, a fairly big list of options for testing the various SANE option
+types is enabled.
+.PP
+Option
+.B print\-options
+can be used to print a list of all options to standard error.
+.PP
+
+.SH GEOMETRY OPTIONS
+Option
+.B tl\-x
+determines the top-left x position of the scan area.
+.PP
+Option
+.B tl\-y
+determines the top-left y position of the scan area.
+.PP
+Option
+.B br\-x
+determines the bottom-right x position of the scan area.
+.PP
+Option
+.B br\-y
+determines the bottom-right y position of the scan area.
+.PP
+
+.SH BOOL TEST OPTIONS
+There are 6 bool test options in total.  Each option is numbered.  (3/6)
+means: this is option 3 of 6.  The numbering scheme is intended for easier
+detection of options not displayed by the frontend (because of missing support
+or bugs).
+.PP
+Option
+.B bool\-soft\-select\-soft\-detect
+(1/6) is a bool test option that has soft select and soft detect (and
+advanced) capabilities.  That's just a normal bool option.
+.PP
+Option
+.B bool\-hard\-select\-soft\-detect
+(2/6) is a bool test option that has hard select and soft detect (and
+advanced) capabilities.  That means the option can't be set by the frontend
+but by the user (e.g. by pressing a button at the device).
+.PP
+Option
+.B bool\-hard\-select
+(3/6) is a bool test option that has hard select (and advanced) capabilities.
+That means the option can't be set by the frontend but by the user (e.g. by
+pressing a button at the device) and can't be read by the frontend.
+.PP
+Option
+.B bool\-soft\-detect
+(4/6) is a bool test option that has soft detect (and advanced)
+capabilities.  That means the option is read-only.
+.PP
+Option
+.B bool\-soft\-select\-soft\-detect\-emulated
+(5/6) is a Bool test option that has soft select, soft detect, and emulated
+(and advanced) capabilities.
+.PP
+Option
+.B bool\-soft\-select\-soft\-detect\-auto
+(6/6) is a Bool test option that has soft select, soft detect, and automatic
+(and advanced) capabilities.  This option can be automatically set by the
+backend.
+.PP
+
+.SH INT TEST OPTIONS
+There are 6 int test options in total. 
+.PP
+Option
+.B int
+(1/6) is an int test option with no unit and no constraint set.
+.PP
+Option
+.B int\-constraint\-range
+(2/6) is an int test option with unit pixel and constraint range set.  Minimum
+is 4, maximum 192, and quant is 2.
+.PP
+Option
+.B int\-constraint\-word\-list
+(3/6) is an int test option with unit bits and constraint word list set.
+.PP
+Option
+.B int\-constraint\-array
+(4/6) is an int test option with unit mm and using an array without
+constraints.
+.PP
+Option
+.B int\-constraint\-array\-constraint\-range
+(5/6) is an int test option with unit mm and using an array with a range

+(6/6) is an int test option with unit percent and using an array a word list
+constraint.

+Option
+.B fixed
+(1/3) is a fixed test option with no unit and no constraint set.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-u12 \- SANE backend for Plustek USB flatbed scanners,
+based on older parport designs
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The

+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on Plusteks' ASIC
+98003 (parallel-port ASIC) and a GeneSys Logics' USB-parport
+bridge chip.
+
+.SH "SUPPORTED DEVICES"
+The backend is able to support some early Plustek USB scanner based
+their old parport design around the ASIC 98003 and other rebadged
+Plustek devices. The following tables will give you a short overview.
+
+If your Plustek scanner has another Product ID, then the device is

+.SH NAME
+sane\-umax \- SANE backend for UMAX scanners
+
+.SH ABOUT THIS FILE
+
+This file only is a short description of the umax-backend for sane! For detailed information take a look at
+sane\-umax\-doc.html (it is included in the sane source directory and in the xsane online help)!
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+The
+.B sane\-umax
+library implements a SANE backend that provides access to several UMAX-SCSI-scanners and some Linotye Hell SCSI-scanners,
+parallel- and USB-scanners are not (and probably will never be) supported!
+
+.B I suggest you hold one hand on the power-button of the scanner while you try the first scans!
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+
+The configuration file for this backend resides in 
+.IR @CONFIGDIR@/umax.conf .
+
+Its contents is a list of device names that correspond to UMAX and UMAX compatible scanners. Empty lines
+and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is
+shown below:

+values: 4096-1048576
+.br
+default min = 32768, max = 131072
+.br
+Especially the minimum value is very important.
+If this value is set too small the backend is not
+able to send gamma tables to the scanner or to
+do a correct color calibration. This may result in
+strange color effects. If the minimum value is set
+too large then the backend is not able to allocate
+the requested scsi buffer size and aborts with
+out of memory error. The default is 32KB, for
+some scanners it should be increased to 64KB.
+.TP

+.br
+default = 0
+.TP
+scsi\-maxqueue:
+values:
+1..# (maximum defined at compile time)
+.br
+default = 2
+.br
+most scsi drivers allow internal command queueing with a depth
+of 2 commands. In most cases it does not mprove anything when you
+increase this value. When your scsi driver does not support any
+command queueing you can try to set this value to 1.
+
+.PP
+The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.
+To find out to which device your scanner is assigned and how you have to set the
+permissions of that device, have a look at sane\-scsi. 
+
+.SH SCSI ADAPTER TIPS
+
+The ISA-SCSI-adapters that are shipped with some Umax-scanners are not supported very
+well by Linux (I suggest not to use it), the PCI-SCSI-adapters that come with some
+Umax-scanners are not supported at all (as far as I know). On other platforms these
+SCSI-adapters are not supported. So you typically need to purchase another SCSI-adapter
+that is supported by your platform. See the relevant hardware FAQs and HOWTOs for your
+platform for more information. 
+
+The UMAX-scanners do block the scsi-bus for a few seconds while scanning. It is not
+necessary to connect the scanner to its own SCSI-adapter. But if you need short
+response time for your SCSI-harddisk (e.g. if your computer is a file-server) or
+other scsi devices, I suggest you use an own SCSI-adapter for your UMAX-scanner.
+
+If you have any problems with your Umax scanner, check your scsi chain
+(cable length, termination, ...).

+
+600 dpi scanning may fail for large image sizes.
+
+If you keep getting I/O errors, try cycling the power on your scanner to reset it.
+
+There is no way to cancel a scan, since the driver ignores sane_cancel().
+
+If you try scanning an image which is too small, you will get I/O errors. Be
+sure to adjust the scan area before doing a scan, since by default, the scan
+area is zero.

+This backend handles 75x75, 150x150, 300x300, 600x600 and 600x1200 for 1220P/1600P/2000P

+Only parts such as CCD and ADC change from
+one to another. They even all reports being UMAX Astra 1220P via IEEE1284.
+There isn't software way to recognize them properly. Under windows, model is
+set by the driver installed, regardless of the hardware. 
+.PP 
+.TP 
+.B EPP/ECP MODES ONLY
+The current version of the backend uses only EPP or ECP mode to communicate 
+with the scanner. PS/2 mode isn't implemented. The 610P only use SPP. It is 
+recommended that you set your parallel port to EPP in BIOS with the current 
+version of this 
+backend. You can leave it to ECP or ECP+EPP, but in this case you may not use
+ppdev but only direct hardware access if you have to use ECP.  ECPEPP will only
+work if you use a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel with ppdev character device support.
+.PP 
+This backend does support parport sharing only 
+.I 
+if you have a kernel with ppdev support.
+.I 
+.PP 
+Note that if you don't use the ppdev character device, the backend 
+needs to run as root. To allow user access to the scanner
+run the backend through the network interface (See saned(8) and sane\-net(5)).
+A more relaxed solution (security wise) is to add suid bit to the frontend
+(See chmod(1)).
+The backend drop root priviledges as soon as it can, right after gaining direct
+access to IO ports, which lessen risks when being root.

+.PP 
+The contents of the
+.B umax_pp.conf
+file is a list of options and device names that correspond to Umax
+scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.
+.PP 
+The eight options supported are
+.BR red\-gain ,
+.BR green\-gain ,
+.BR blue\-gain ,
+.BR red\-offset ,
+.BR green\-offset ,
+.BR blue\-offset ,
+.BR astra ,
+and
+.BR buffer .
+
+Options
+.B red\-gain
+,
+.B green\-gain
+and
+.B blue\-gain
+allow you to adjust the sensitivity of your scanner for the given color. Values
+range from 0 (lowest gain) to 15 (highest). If the advanced option "Gain" isn't
+checked in the frontend, the backend does automatic gain calibration, and do not use
+user provided values.
+
+.PP 
+
+Options
+.B red\-offset
+,
+.B green\-offset
+and
+.B blue\-offset
+allow you to adjust the offset of your scanner for the given color. Values
+range from 0 (lowest offset) to 15 (highest). 
+.PP 
+
+Option
+.B astra
+allows you to change the model of your scanner. Current auto detection is based
+on side effects on scanning when using 1220P command set on other models, so
+it may fail on unknown hardware combination. Valid values are 610, 1220, 1600 
+and 2000. It is useful only when autodetection fails to detect properly
+your scanner model. If your scanner work properly but is reported wrongly, 
+let it be that way. 
+The only valid case to change the model is when your scanner produces "black" or 
+"inverted" scans. In this case you can put the model. Be aware that it will 
+prevent scanner model autodetection.
+.PP 
+
+Option
+.B buffer
+allows you to change the size of the scan buffer. The size must be specified in
+bytes. The default value is 2 megabytes. Decreasing this value will improve the
+smoothness of progress bar in the frontend, but will stall the
+scan more often.

+.SH NAME
+sane\-usb \- USB configuration tips for SANE
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page contains information on how to access scanners with a USB
+interface. It focusses on two main topics: getting the scanner detected by the
+operating system kernel and using it with SANE.
+.PP
+This page applies to USB most backends and scanners, as they use the generic
+sanei_usb interface. However, there is one exceptions: USB Scanners
+supported by the microtek2 backend need a special USB kernel
+driver, see
+.BR sane\-microtek2 (5)
+for details. 
+
+.SH "QUICK START"
+This is a short HOWTO-like section. For the full details, read the following
+sections. The goal of this section is to get the scanner detected by
+.BR sane\-find\-scanner (1).
+.PP
+Run sane\-find\-scanner. If it lists your scanner with the correct vendor and
+product ids, you are done. See section
+.B "SANE ISSUES"
+for details on how to go on.
+.PP
+sane\-find\-scanner doesn't list your scanner? Does it work as root? If yes,
+there is a permission issue. See the
+.B LIBUSB
+section for details.
+.PP
+Nothing is found even as root? Check that your kernel supports USB and that
+libusb is installed (see section
+.BR LIBUSB ).
+
+.SH "USB ACCESS METHODS"
+For accessing USB devices, the USB library libusb is used. There used to exist
+another method to access USB devices: the kernel scanner driver. The kernel
+scanner driver method is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It may be
+removed from SANE at any time. In Linux, the kernel scanner driver has been
+removed in the 2.6.* kernel series. Only libusb access is documented in this
+manual page.
+
+.SH LIBUSB
+SANE can only use libusb 0.1.6 or newer. It needs to be installed at
+build-time. Modern Linux distributions and other operating systems come with
+libusb.
+.PP
+Libusb can only access your scanner if it's not claimed by the kernel scanner
+driver. If you want to use libusb, unload the kernel driver (e.g. rmmod
+scanner under Linux) or disable the driver when compiling a new kernel. For
+Linux, your kernel needs support for the USB filesystem (usbfs). For kernels
+older than 2.4.19, replace "usbfs" with "usbdevfs" because the name has
+changed. This filesystem must be mounted. That's done automatically at boot
+time, if /etc/fstab contains a line like this:
+.PP
+.RS
+none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults  0  0
+.RE
+.PP
+The permissions for the device files used by libusb must be adjusted for user
+access. Otherwise only root can use SANE devices. For
+.IR Linux ,
+the devices are located in /proc/bus/usb/ or in /dev/bus/usb, if you use
+udev. There are directories named e.g. "001" (the bus name) containing files
+"001", "002" etc. (the device files). The right device files can be found out by
+running scanimage \-L as root. Setting permissions with "chmod" is not permanent,
+however. They will be reset after reboot or replugging the scanner.
+.PP
+Usually udev or for older distributions the hotplug utilities are used, which
+support dynamic setting of access permissions. SANE comes with udev and hotplug
+scripts in the directory tools/udev and tools/hotplug. They can be used for
+setting permissions, see @DOCDIR@/README.linux, tools/README and the README in
+the tools/hotplug directory for more details. 
+.PP
+For the
+.BR BSDs ,
+the device files used by libusb are named 
+.IR /dev/ugen* .
+Use chmod to apply appropriate permissions.
+
+.SH "SANE ISSUES"
+.PP
+This section assumes that your scanner is detected by sane\-find\-scanner. It
+doesn't make sense to go on, if this is not the case. While sane\-find\-scanner
+is able to detect any USB scanner, actual scanning will only work if the
+scanner is supported by a SANE backend. Information on the level of support
+can be found on the SANE webpage
+.RI ( http://www.sane\-project.org/ ),
+and the individual backend manpages.
+.PP
+Most backends can detect USB scanners automatically using "usb" configuration
+file lines. This method allows to identify scanners by the USB vendor and
+product numbers.  The syntax for specifying a scanner this way is:
+.PP
+.RS
+usb
+.I VENDOR PRODUCT
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I VENDOR
+is the USB vendor id, and
+.I PRODUCT
+is the USB product id of the scanner. Both ids are non-negative integer numbers
+in decimal or hexadecimal format. The correct values for these fields can be
+found by running sane\-find\-scanner, looking into the syslog (e.g.,
+/var/log/messages) or under Linux by issuing the command "cat
+/proc/bus/usb/devices".  This is an example of a config file line:
+.PP
+.RS
+usb 0x055f 0x0006
+.RE
+.PP
+would have the effect that all USB devices in the system with a vendor id of
+0x55f and a product id of 0x0006 would be probed and recognized by the
+backend. 
+.PP
+If your scanner is not detected automatically, it may be necessary to edit the
+appropriate backend configuration file before using SANE for the first time.
+For a detailed description of each backend's configuration file, please refer to
+the relevant backend manual page (e.g.
+.BR sane\-mustek_usb (5)
+for Mustek USB scanners).
+.PP
+Do
+.B not
+create a symlink from
+.I /dev/scanner
+to the USB device because this link is used by the SCSI backends. The scanner
+may be confused if it receives SCSI commands.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
+environment variable controls the debug level for the USB I/O
+subsystem.  E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output to be
+printed.  Smaller levels reduce verbosity. Values greater than 4 enable
+libusb debugging (if available). Example: export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=4.

+.SH NAME
+sane \- Scanner Access Now Easy: API for accessing scanners
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B SANE
+is an application programming interface (API) that provides standardized
+access to any raster image scanner hardware. The standardized interface makes
+it possible to write just one driver for each scanner device instead of one
+driver for each scanner and application.
+
+While
+.B SANE
+is primarily targeted at a UNIX environment, the standard has been carefully
+designed to make it possible to implement the API on virtually any hardware or
+operating system.
+.PP
+This manual page provides a summary of the information available about
+.BR SANE .
+.PP
+If you have trouble getting your scanner detected, read the PROBLEMS section.
+
+.SH TERMINOLOGY
+
+An application that uses the 
+.B SANE
+interface is called a 
+.B SANE frontend.
+A driver that implements the 
+.B SANE
+interface is called a
+.B SANE backend.
+A 
+.B meta backend
+provides some means to manage one or more other backends.
+
+
+.SH "SOFTWARE PACKAGES"
+The package 
+.RB ` sane\-backends '
+contains a lot of backends, documentation (including the 
+.B SANE
+standard), networking support, and the command line frontend 
+.RB ` scanimage '.
+The frontends 
+.RB ` xscanimage "', `" xcam "', and `" scanadf '
+are included in the package
+.RB ` sane\-frontends '. 
+Both packages can be downloaded from the
+.B SANE
+homepage 
+.RI ( http://www.sane\-project.org/ ).
+Information about other frontends and backends can also be found on the
+.B SANE
+homepage.
+
+.SH "GENERAL INFORMATION"
+The following sections provide short descriptions and links to more
+information about several aspects of
+.B SANE.
+A name with a number in parenthesis (e.g. 
+.RB ` sane\-dll (5)')
+points to a manual page. In this case 
+.RB ` "man 5 sane\-dll" '
+will display the page. Entries like
+.RI ` @DOCDIR@/sane.tex '
+are references to text files that were copied to the

+
+.SH "PROBLEMS"
+If your device isn't found but you know that it is supported, make
+sure that it is detected by your operating system. For SCSI and USB scanners,
+use the
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+tool (see
+.BR sane\-find\-scanner (1)
+for details). It prints one line for each scanner it has detected and some
+comments (#). If
+.B sane\-find\-scanner
+finds your scanner only as root but not as normal user, the permissions for
+the device files are not adjusted correctly. If the scanner isn't found at all,
+the operating system hasn't detected it and may need some help. Depending on
+the type of your scanner, read
+.BR sane\-usb (5)
+or
+.BR sane\-scsi (5).
+If your scanner (or other device) is not connected over the SCSI bus or USB,
+read the backend's manual page for details on how to set it up.
+.PP
+
+Now your scanner is detected by the operating system but not by 
+.BR SANE ?
+Try 
+.BR "scanimage \-L" .
+If the scanner is not found, check that the backend's name is mentioned in
+.IR @CONFIGDIR@/dll.conf .
+Some backends are commented out by default. Remove the comment sign for your
+backend in this case. Also some backends aren't compiled at all if one of their
+prerequisites are missing. Examples include dc210, dc240, canon_pp, hpsj5s,
+gphoto2, pint, qcam, v4l, net, sm3600, snapscan, pnm. If you need one of these
+backends and they aren't available, read the build instructions in the 
+.B README
+file and the individual manual pages of the backends.
+.PP
+
+Another reason for not being detected by
+.B scanimage \-L
+may be a missing or wrong configuration in the backend's configuration
+file. While
+.B SANE
+tries to automatically find most scanners, some can't be setup correctly
+without the intervention of the administrator. Also on some operating systems
+auto-detection may not work. Check the backend's manual page for details.
+.PP
+If your scanner is still not found, try
+setting the various environment variables that are available to assist in
+debugging.  The environment variables are documented in the
+relevant manual pages.  For example, to get the maximum amount of debug
+information when testing a Mustek SCSI scanner, set environment variables
+.BR SANE_DEBUG_DLL ", " SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK ", and " SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI
+to 128 and then invoke 
+.B scanimage
+.B \-L .
+The debug messages for the dll backend tell if the mustek backend was found
+and loaded at all. The mustek messages explain what the mustek backend is
+doing while the SCSI debugging shows the low level handling. If you can't find
+out what's going on by checking the messages carefully, contact the sane\-devel
+mailing list for help (see REPORTING BUGS below).
+.PP
+Now that your scanner is found by
+.BR "scanimage \-L" ,
+try to do a scan:
+.BR "scanimage >image.pnm" .
+This command starts a scan for the default scanner with default settings. All
+the available options are listed by running
+.BR "scanimage \-\-help" .
+If scanning aborts with an error message, turn on debugging as mentioned
+above. Maybe the configuration file needs some tuning, e.g. to setup the path
+to a firmware that is needed by some scanners. See the backend's manual page
+for details. If you can't find out what's wrong, contact sane\-devel.
+.PP
+To check that the
+.B SANE
+libraries are installed correctly you can use the test backend, even if you
+don't have a scanner or other
+.B SANE
+device:
+.IP
+.B scanimage \-d
+.I test
+.B \-T
+.PP
+You should get a list of PASSed tests. You can do the same with your backend
+by changing "test" to your backend's name.
+.PP
+So now scanning with
+.B scanimage
+works and you want to use one of the graphical frontends like
+.BR xsane ,
+.BR xscanimage ", or"
+.B quiteinsane
+but those frontends don't detect your scanner? One reason may be that you
+installed two versions of 
+.BR SANE .
+E.g. the version that was installed by your distribution in 
+.I /usr
+and one you installed from source in 
+.IR /usr/local/ .
+Make sure that only one version is installed. Another possible reason is, that
+your system's dynamic loader can't find the
+.B SANE
+libraries. For Linux, make sure that
+.I /etc/ld.so.conf
+contains
+.I /usr/local/lib
+and does
+.B not
+contain
+.IR /usr/local/lib/sane .
+See also the documentation of the frontends.

+\chapter{Preface}
+
+The SANE standard is being developed by a group of free-software
+developers.  The process is open to the public and comments as well as
+suggestions for improvements are welcome.  Information on how to join
+the SANE development process can be found in Chapter
+\ref{chap:contact}.
+
+The SANE standard is intended to streamline software development by
+providing a standard application programming interface to access
+raster scanner hardware.  This should reduce the number of different
+driver implementations, thereby reducing the need for reimplementing
+similar code.
+
+
+\section{About This Document}
+
+This document is intended for developers who are creating either an
+application that requires access to raster scanner hardware and for
+developers who are implementing a SANE driver.  It does not cover
+specific implementations of SANE components.  Its sole purpose is to
+describe and define the SANE application interface that will enable
+any application on any platform to interoperate with any SANE backend
+for that platform.
+
+The remainder of this document is organized as follows.
+Chapter~\ref{chap:intro} provides introductional material.
+Chapter~\ref{chap:environ} presents the environment SANE is designed
+for.  Chapter~\ref{chap:api} details the SANE Application Programmer
+Interface.  Chapter~\ref{chap:net} specifies the network protocol that
+can be used to implement the SANE API in a network transparent
+fashion.  Finally, Chapter~\ref{chap:contact} gives information on how
+to join the SANE development process.

+\chapter{Introduction}\label{chap:intro}
+
+SANE is an application programming interface (API) that provides
+standardized access to any raster image scanner hardware.  The
+standardized interface allows to write just one driver for each
+scanner device instead of one driver for each scanner and application.
+The reduction in the number of required drivers provides significant
+savings in development time.  More importantly, SANE raises the level
+at which applications can work.  As such, it will enable applications
+that were previously unheard of in the UNIX world.  While SANE is
+primarily targeted at a UNIX environment, the standard has been
+carefully designed to make it possible to implement the API on
+virtually any hardware or operating system.
+
+SANE is an acronym for ``Scanner Access Now Easy.''  Also, the hope is
+that SANE is sane in the sense that it will allow easy implementation
+of the API while accommodating all features required by today's
+scanner hardware and applications.  Specifically, SANE should be broad
+enough to accommodate devices such as scanners, digital still and
+video cameras, as well as virtual devices like image file filters.
+
+\section{Terminology}
+
+An application that uses the SANE interface is called a SANE {\em
+  frontend}.  A driver that implements the SANE interface is called a
+SANE {\em backend}.  A {\em meta backend\/} provides some means to
+manage one or more other backends.
+
+
+\chapter{The SANE Environment}\label{chap:environ}
+
+SANE is defined as a C-callable library interface.  Accessing a raster
+scanner device typically consists of two phases: first, various
+controls of the scanner need to be setup or queried.  In the second
+phase, one or more images are acquired.
+
+Since the device controls are widely different from device to device,
+SANE provides a generic interface that makes it easy for a frontend to
+give a user access to all controls without having to understand each
+and every device control.  The design principle used here is to
+abstract each device control into a SANE {\em option\/}.  An option is
+a self-describing name/value pair.  For example, the brightness
+control of a camera might be represented by an option called
+\code{brightness} whose value is an integer in the range from 0 to
+255.
+
+With self-describing options, a backend need not be concerned with
+{\em presentation\/} issues: the backend simply provides a list of
+options that describe all the controls available in the device.
+Similarly, there are benefits to the frontend: it need not be
+concerned with the {\em meaning\/} of each option.  It simply provides
+means to present and alter the options defined by the backend.
+
+
+\section{Attaching to a SANE backend}
+
+The process through which a SANE frontend connects to a backend is
+platform dependent.  Several possibilities exist:
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item {\bf Static linking:} A SANE backend may be linked directly into
+  a frontend.  While the simplest method of attaching to a backend, it
+  is somewhat limited in functionality since the available devices is
+  limited to the ones for which support has been linked in when the
+  frontend was built.  But even so static linking can be quite useful,
+  particularly when combined with a backend that can access scanners
+  via a network.  Also, it is possible to support multiple backends
+  simultaneously by implementing a meta backend that manages several
+  backends that have been compiled in such a manner that they export
+  unique function names.  For example, a backend called \code{be}
+  would normally export a function called \code{sane\_read()}.  If
+  each backend would provide such a function, static linking would
+  fail due to multiple conflicting definitions of the same symbol.
+  This can be resolved by having backend \code{be} include a
+  header file that has lines of the form:
+  \begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+#define sane_read be_sane_read
+\end{verbatim}
+  \end{quote}
+  With definitions of this kind, backend \code{be} will export
+  function name \code{be\_sane\_read()}.  Thus, all backends will
+  export unique names.  As long as a meta backend knows about these
+  names, it is possible to combine several backends at link time and
+  select and use them dynamically at runtime.
+
+\item {\bf Dynamic linking:} A simpler yet more powerful way to
+  support multiple backends is to exploit dynamic linking on platforms
+  that support it.  In this case, a frontend is linked against a
+  shared library that implements any SANE backend.  Since each
+  dynamically linked backend exports the same set of global symbols
+  (all starting with the prefix \code{sane\_}), the dynamic library
+  that gets loaded at runtime does not necessarily have to be the same
+  one as one the frontend got linked against.  In other words, it is
+  possible to switch the backend by installing the appropriate backend
+  dynamic library.
+
+  More importantly, dynamic linking makes it easy to implement a meta
+  backend that loads other backends {\em on demand}.  This is a
+  powerful mechanism since it allows adding new backends merely by
+  installing a shared library and updating a configuration file.
+
+\item {\bf Network connection:} Arguably the ultimate way to attach to
+  a scanner is by using the network to connect to a backend on a
+  remote machine.  This makes it possible to scan images from any host
+  in the universe, as long as there is a network connection to that
+  host and provided the user is permitted to access that scanner.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+  \begin{center}
+    \leavevmode
+    \psfig{file=figs/hierarchy.eps,angle=270,width=\textwidth}
+    \caption{Example SANE Hiearchy}
+    \label{fig:hierarchy}
+  \end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+The above discussion lists just a few ways for frontends to attach to
+a backend.  It is of course possible to combine these solutions to
+provide an entire hierarchy of SANE backends.  Such a hierarchy is
+depicted in Figure~\ref{fig:hierarchy}.  The figure shows that machine
+A uses a dynamic-linking based meta backend called \code{dll} to
+access the backends called \code{pnm}, \code{mustek}, and \code{net}.
+The first two are real backends, whereas the last one is a meta
+backend that provides network transparent access to remote scanners.
+In the figure, machine B provides non-local access to its scanners
+through the SANE frontend called \code{saned}.  The \code{saned} in
+turn has access to the \code{hp} and \code{autolum} backends through
+another instance of the \code{dll} backend.  The \code{autolum} meta
+backend is used to automatically adjust the luminance (brightness) of
+the image data acquired by the camera backend called \code{qcam}.
+
+Note that a meta backend really is both a frontend and a backend at
+the same time.  It is a frontend from the viewpoint of the backends
+that it manages and a backend from the viewpoint of the frontends that
+access it.  The name ``meta backend'' was chosen primarily because the
+SANE standard describes the interface from the viewpoint of a (real)
+frontend.
+
+
+\section{Image Data Format}\label{sec:imageformat}\index{image data format}
+
+Arguably the most important aspect of an image acquisition system is
+how images are represented.  The SANE approach is to define a simple
+yet powerful representation that is sufficient for vast majority of
+applications and devices.  While the representation is simple, the
+interface has been defined carefully to allow extending it in the
+future without breaking backwards compatibility.  Thus, it will be
+possible to accommodate future applications or devices that were not
+anticipated at the time this standard was created.
+
+A SANE image is a rectangular area.  The rectangular area is
+subdivided into a number of rows and columns.  At the intersection of
+each row and column is a quadratic pixel.  A pixel consists of one or
+more sample values.  Each sample value represents one channel (e.g.,
+the red channel).  Each sample value has a certain bit depth.  The bit
+depth is fixed for the entire image and can be as small as one bit.
+Valid bit depths are 1, 8, or 16 bits per sample.  If a device's
+natural bit depth is something else, it is up to the driver to scale
+the sample values appropriately (e.g., a 4 bit sample could be scaled
+by a factor of four to represent a sample value of depth 8).
+
+\subsection{Image Transmission}
+
+The SANE API transmits an image as a sequence of frames.  Each frame
+covers the same rectangular area as the entire image, but may contain
+only a subset of the channels in the final image.  For example, a
+red/green/blue image could either be transmitted as a single frame
+that contains the sample values for all three channels or it could be
+transmitted as a sequence of three frames: the first frame containing
+the red channel, the second the green channel, and the third the blue
+channel.
+
+Conceptually, each frame is transmitted a byte at a time.  Each byte
+may contain 8 sample values (for an image bit depth of 1), one full
+sample value (for an image bit depth of 8), or a partial sample value
+(for an image bit depth of 16 or bigger).  In the latter case, the
+bytes of each sample value are transmitted in the machine's native
+byte order. For depth 1, the leftmost pixel is stored in the most
+significant bit, and the rightmost pixel in the least significant bit.
+\begin{quote}
+  \begin{center}
+    {\bf Backend Implementation Note}
+  \end{center}
+  A network-based meta backend will have to ensure that the byte order
+  in image data is adjusted appropriately if necessary.  For example,
+  when the meta backend attaches to the server proxy, the proxy may
+  inform the backend of the server's byte order.  The backend can then
+  apply the adjustment if necessary.  In essence, this implements a
+  ``receiver-makes-right'' approach.
+\end{quote}
+
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+  \begin{center}
+    \leavevmode
+    \psfig{file=figs/xfer.eps,width=0.5\textwidth}
+    \caption{Transfer order of image data bytes}
+    \label{fig:xfer}
+  \end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+The order in which the sample values in a frame are transmitted is
+illustrated in Figure~\ref{fig:xfer}.  As can be seen, the values are
+transmitted row by row and each row is transmitted from left-most to
+right-most column.  The left-to-right, top-to-bottom transmission
+order applies when the image is viewed in its normal orientation (as
+it would be displayed on a screen, for example).
+
+If a frame contains multiple channels, then the channels are
+transmitted in an interleaved fashion.  Figure~\ref{fig:pixels}
+illustrates this for the case where a frame contains a complete
+red/green/blue image with a bit-depth of 8.  For a bit depth of 1,
+each byte contains 8 sample values of a {\em single\/} channel.  In
+other words, a bit depth 1 frame is transmitted in a byte interleaved
+fashion.
+
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+  \begin{center}
+    \leavevmode
+    \psfig{file=figs/image-data.eps,width=0.8\textwidth}
+    \caption{Bit and byte order or image data}
+    \label{fig:pixels}
+  \end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+When transmitting an image frame by frame, the frontend needs to know
+what part of the image a frame represents (and how many frames it
+should expect).  For that purpose, the SANE API tags every frame with
+a type.  This version of the SANE standard supports the following
+frame types:
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_FRAME\_GRAY}}:] The frame contains a single
+  channel of data that represents sample values from a spectral band
+  that covers the human visual range.  The image consists of this
+  frame only.
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_FRAME\_RGB}}:] The frame contains three
+  channels of data that represent sample values from the red, green,
+  and blue spectral bands.  The sample values are interleaved in the
+  order red, green, and blue.  The image consists of this frame only.
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_FRAME\_RED}}:] The frame contains one channel
+  of data that represents sample values from the red spectral band.
+  The complete image consists of three frames:
+  \code{SANE\_\-FRA\-ME\_RED}, \code{SANE\_FRAME\_GREEN}, and
+  \code{SANE\_FRAME\_BLUE}.  The order in which the frames are
+  transmitted chosen by the backend.
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_FRAME\_GREEN}}:] The frame contains one
+  channel of data that represents sample values from the green
+  spectral band.  The complete image consists of three frames:
+  \code{SANE\_\-FRA\-ME\_RED}, \code{SANE\_FRAME\_GREEN}, and
+  \code{SANE\_FRAME\_BLUE}.  The order in which the frames are
+  transmitted chosen by the backend.
+
+\item[\code{\defn{SANE\_FRAME\_BLUE}}:] The frame contains one channel
+  of data that represents sample values from the blue spectral band.
+  The complete image consists of three frames:
+  \code{SANE\_\-FRA\-ME\_RED}, \code{SANE\_FRAME\_GREEN}, and
+  \code{SANE\_FRAME\_BLUE}.  The order in which the frames are
+  transmitted chosen by the backend.
+
+\end{description}
+\end{quote}
+
+In frames of type \code{SANE\_FRAME\_GRAY}, when the bit depth is 1 there are
+only two sample values possible, 1 represents minimum intensity
+(black) and 0 represents maximum intensity (white).  For all other bit
+depth and frame type combinations, a sample value of 0 represents
+minimum intensity and larger values represent increasing intensity.
+
+The combination of bit depth 1 and \code{SANE\_FRAME\_RGB} (or
+\code{SANE\_FRAME\_RED}, \code{SANE\_FRAME\_GREEN}, \code{SANE\_FRAME\_BLUE})
+is rarely used and may not be supported by every frontend.
+
+\chapter{The SANE Application Programmer Interface (API)}\label{chap:api}
+
+This Section defines version 1 of the SANE application
+programmer interface (API).  Any SANE frontend must depend on the
+interface defined in this section only.  Converseley, any SANE backend
+must implement its functionality in accordance with this
+specification.  The interface as documented here is declared as a C
+callable interface in a file called \filename{sane/sane.h}.  This file should
+normally be included via a C pre-processor directive of the form:
+\begin{verbatim}
+  #include <sane/sane.h>
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\section{Version Control}
+
+The SANE standard is expected to evolve over time.  Whenever a change
+to the SANE standard is made that may render an existing frontend or
+backend incompatible with the new standard, the major version number
+must be increased.  Thus, any frontend/backend pair is compatible
+provided the major version number of the SANE standard they implement
+is the same.  A frontend may implement backwards compatiblity by
+allowing major numbers that are smaller than the expected major number
+(provided the frontend really can cope with the older version).  In
+contrast, a backend always provides support for one and only one
+version of the standard.  If a specific application does require that
+two different versions of the same backend are accessible at the same
+time, it is possible to do so by installing the two versions under
+different names.
+
+SANE version control also includes a minor version number and a build
+revision.  While control of these numbers remains with the implementor
+of a backend, the recommended use is as follows.  The minor version is
+incremented with each official release of a backend.  The build
+revision is increased with each build of a backend.
+
+The SANE API provides the following five macros to manage version
+numbers.
+\begin{quote}
+  \begin{description}
+  \item[\code{\defn{SANE\_CURRENT\_MAJOR}}:] The value of this macro is the
+    number of the SANE standard that the interface implements.
+
+  \item[\code{\defn{SANE\_VERSION\_CODE}(\var{maj},\var{min},\var{bld})}:]
+    \label{sec:saneversioncode}
+    This macro can be used to build a monotonically increasing version
+    code.  A SANE version code consists of the SANE standard major
+    version number (\var{maj}), the minor version number \var{min},
+    and the build revision of a backend (\var{bld}).  The major and
+    minor version numbers must be in the range 0\ldots255 and the
+    build revision must be in the range 0\ldots65535.
+
+    Version codes are monotonic in the sense that it is possible to
+    apply relational operators (e.g., equality or less-than test)
+    directly on the version code rather than individually on the three
+    components of the version code.
+
+    Note that the major version number alone determines whether a
+    frontend/backend pair is compatible.  The minor version and the
+    build revision are used for informational and bug-fixing purposes
+    only.
+  
+  \item[\code{\defn{SANE\_VERSION\_MAJOR}(\var{vc})}:] This macro returns the
+    major version number component of the version code passed in
+    argument \var{vc}.
+  \item[\code{SANE\_VERSION\_MINOR(\var{vc})}:] This macro returns the
+    minor version number component of the version code passed in
+    argument \var{vc}.
+  \item[\code{SANE\_VERSION\_BUILD(\var{vc})}:] This macro returns the
+    build revision component of the version code passed in argument
+    \var{vc}.
+  \end{description}
+\end{quote}
+
+
+\section{Data Types}
+
+\subsection{Base Types}
+
+The SANE standard is based on just two SANE-specific base types: the
+SANE byte and word.
+\begin{quote}
+  \code{typedef \var{some-scalar-type\/} \defn{SANE\_Byte};} \\
+  \code{typedef \var{some-scalar-type\/} \defn{SANE\_Word};}
+\end{quote}
+\verb|SANE_Byte| must correspond to some scalar C type that is capable
+of holding values in the range 0 to 255.  \verb|SANE_Word| must be
+capable of holding any of the following:
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item the truth values \verb|SANE_FALSE| and \verb|SANE_TRUE|
+  \item signed integers in the range $-2^{31}\ldots2^{31}-1$
+  \item fixed point values in the range $-32768\ldots32767.9999$ with
+    a resolution of $1/65536$
+  \item 32 bits (for bit sets)
+\end{itemize}
+Note that the SANE standard does not define what C type
+\verb|SANE_Byte| and \verb|SANE_Word| map to.  For example, on some
+platforms, the latter may map to \verb|long int| whereas on others it
+may map to \verb|int|.  A portable SANE frontend or backend must
+therefore not depend on a particular mapping.
+
+\subsection{Boolean Type}
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_Bool}} is used for variables that can take one of
+the two truth values \code{\defn{SANE\_FALSE}} and
+\code{\defn{SANE\_TRUE}}.  The former value is defined to be 0,
+whereas the latter is 1.\footnote{This is different from ANSI C where
+  any non-zero integer value represents logical TRUE.} The C
+declarations for this type are given below.
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+#define SANE_FALSE      0
+#define SANE_TRUE       1
+typedef SANE_Word SANE_Bool;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+Note that \verb|SANE_Bool| is simply an alias of \verb|SANE_Word|.  It
+is therefore always legal to use the latter type in place of the
+former.  However, for clarity, it is recommended to use
+\verb|SANE_Bool| whenever a given variable or formal argument has a
+fixed interpretation as a boolean object.
+
+\subsection{Integer Type}
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_Int}} is used for variables that can take integer
+values in the range $-2^{32}$ to $2^{31}-1$.  Its C declaration is
+given below.
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+typedef SANE_Word SANE_Int;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+Note that \verb|SANE_Int| is simply an alias of \verb|SANE_Word|.  It
+is therefore always legal to use the latter type in place of the
+former.  However, for clarity, it is recommended to use
+\verb|SANE_Int| whenever a given variable or formal argument has a
+fixed interpretation as an integer object.
+
+
+\subsection{Fixed-point Type}
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_Fixed}} is used for variables that can take fixed
+point values in the range $-32768$ to $32767.9999$ with a resolution
+of $1/65535$.  The C declarations relating to this type are given
+below.
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+#define SANE_FIXED_SCALE_SHIFT  16
+typedef SANE_Word SANE_Fixed;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+The macro \code{\defn{SANE\_FIXED\_SCALE\_SHIFT}} gives the location
+of the fixed binary point.  This standard defines that value to be 16,
+which yields a resolution of $1/65536$.
+
+Note that \verb|SANE_Fixed| is simply an alias of \verb|SANE_Word|.
+It is therefore always legal to use the latter type in place of the
+former.  However, for clarity, it is recommended to use
+\verb|SANE_Fixed| whenever a given variable or formal argument has a
+fixed interpretation as a fixed-point object.
+
+For convenience, SANE also defines two macros that convert fixed-point
+values to and from C double floating point values.
+\begin{quote}
+  \begin{description}
+
+  \item[\code{\defn{SANE\_FIX}(\var{d})}:] Returns the largest SANE
+    fixed-point value that is smaller than the double value \var{d}.
+    No range checking is performed.  If the value of \var{d} is out of
+    range, the result is undefined.
+
+  \item[\code{\defn{SANE\_UNFIX}(\var{w})}:] Returns the nearest
+    double machine number that corresponds to fixed-point value
+    \var{w}.
+
+  \end{description}
+\end{quote}
+SANE does {\em not\/} require that the following two expressions hold
+true (even if the values of \var{w} and \var{d} are in range):
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+SANE_UNFIX(SANE_FIX(d)) == d
+SANE_FIX(SANE_UNFIX(w)) == w
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+In other words, conversion between fixed and double values may be
+lossy.  It is therefore recommended to avoid repeated conversions
+between the two representations.
+
+
+\subsection{Text}
+
+\subsubsection{Character Type}
+
+Type \code{\defn{SANE\_Char}} represents a single text character or
+symbol.  At present, this type maps directly to the underlying C
+\verb|char| type (typically one byte).  The encoding for such
+characters is currently fixed as ISO LATIN-1.  Future versions of this
+standard may map this type to a wider type and allow multi-byte
+encodings to support internationalization.  As a result of this, care
+should be taken to avoid the assumption that
+\verb|sizeof(SANE_Char)==sizeof(char)|.
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+typedef char SANE_Char;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+\subsubsection{String Type}
+
+Type \code{\defn{SANE\_String}} represents a text string as a sequence
+of C \verb|char| values.  The end of the sequence is indicated by a
+\verb|'\0'| (\defn{NUL}) character.  
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+typedef SANE_Char *SANE_String;
+typedef const SANE_Char *SANE_String_Const;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+The type \code{\defn{SANE\_String\_Const}} is provided by SANE to
+enable declaring strings whose contents is unchangable.  Note that in
+ANSI C, the declaration
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+const SANE_String str;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+declares a string pointer that is constant (not a string pointer that
+points to a constant value).
+
+
+\subsection{Scanner Handle Type}
+
+Access to a scanner is provided through an opaque type called
+\code{\defn{SANE\_Handle}}.  The C declaration of this type is given
+below.
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+typedef void *SANE_Handle;
+\end{verbatim}

+While this type is declared to be a void pointer, an application must
+not attempt to interpret the value of a \verb|SANE_Handle|.  In
+particular, SANE does not require that a value of this type is a legal
+pointer value.
+
+
+\subsection{Status Type}
+
+Most SANE operations return a value of type \code{\defn{SANE\_Status}}
+to indicate whether the completion status of the operation.  If an
+operation completes successfully, \verb|SANE_STATUS_GOOD| is returned.
+In case of an error, a value is returned that indicates the nature of
+the problem.  The complete list of available status codes is listed in
+Table \ref{tab:status}.  It is recommended to use function
+\code{sane\_strstatus()} to convert status codes into a legible
+string.

+\subsection{Device Descriptor Type}
+
+Each SANE device is represented by a structure of type
+\code{\defn{SANE\_Device}}.  The C declaration of this type is given
+below.
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+typedef struct
+  {
+    SANE_String_Const name;
+    SANE_String_Const vendor;
+    SANE_String_Const model;
+    SANE_String_Const type;
+  }
+SANE_Device;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+\index{device-name}
+The structure provides the unique name of the scanner in member
+\code{name}.  It is this unique name that should be passed in a call
+to \code{sane\_open()}.  The format of this name is completely up to
+the backend.  The only constraints are that the name is unique among
+all devices supported by the backend and that the name is a legal SANE
+text string.  To simplify presentation of unique names, their length
+should not be excessive.  It is {\em recommended\/} that backends keep
+unique names below 32 characters in length.  However, applications
+{\em must\/} be able to cope with arbitrary length unique names.
+
+The remaining members in the device structure provide additional
+information on the device corresponding to the unique name.
+Specifically, members \code{vendor}, \code{model}, and \code{type} are
+single-line strings that give information on the vendor
+(manufacturer), model, and the type of the device.  For consistency's
+sake, the following strings should be used when appropriate (the lists
+will be expanded as need arises):

+\end{table}
+Note that vendor string \code{Noname} can be used for virtual devices
+that have no physical vendor associated.  Also, there are no
+predefined model name strings since those are vendor specific and
+therefore completely under control of the respective backends.
+
+
+\subsection{Option Descriptor Type}\label{sec:odesc}
+
+Option descriptors are at the same time the most intricate and
+powerful type in the SANE standard.  Options are used to control
+virtually all aspects of device operation.  Much of the power of the
+SANE API stems from the fact that most device controls are completely
+described by their respective option descriptor.  Thus, a frontend can
+control a scanner abstractly, without requiring knowledge as to what
+the purpose of any given option is.  Conversely, a scanner can
+describe its controls without requiring knowledge of how the frontend
+operates.  The C declaration of the
+\code{\defn{SANE\_Option\_Descriptor}} type is given below.
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+typedef struct
+  {
+    SANE_String_Const name;
+    SANE_String_Const title;
+    SANE_String_Const desc;
+    SANE_Value_Type type;
+    SANE_Unit unit;
+    SANE_Int size;
+    SANE_Int cap;
+    SANE_Constraint_Type constraint_type;
+    union
+      {
+        const SANE_String_Const *string_list;
+        const SANE_Word *word_list;
+        const SANE_Range *range;
+      }
+    constraint;
+  }
+SANE_Option_Descriptor;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+\subsubsection{Option Name}
+
+Member \code{name} is a string that uniquely identifies the option.
+The name must be unique for a given device (i.e., the option names
+across different backends or devices need not be unique).  The option
+name must consist of lower-case ASCII letters (\code{a}--\code{z}),
+digits (\code{0}--\code{9}), or the dash character (\code{-}) only.
+The first character must be a lower-case ASCII character (i.e., not a
+digit or a dash).
+
+\subsubsection{Option Title}
+
+Member \code{title} is a single-line string that can be used by the
+frontend as a title string.  This should typically be a short (one or
+two-word) string that is chosen based on the function of the option.
+
+\subsubsection{Option Description}
+
+Member \code{desc} is a (potentially very) long string that can be
+used as a help text to describe the option.  It is the responsibility
+of the frontend to break the string into managable-length lines.
+Newline characters in this string should be interpreted as paragraph
+breaks.
+
+\subsubsection{Option Value Type}
+
+Member \code{type} specifies the type of the option value.  The
+possible values for type \code{\defn{SANE\_Value\_Type}} are described
+in Table \ref{tab:valuetype}.
+
+\begin{table}[htbp]
+  \begin{center}
+    \leavevmode
+    \begin{tabular}{|l|l|p{0.6\textwidth}|}
+\hline
+\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\bf Symbol} &
+\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\bf Code} &
+\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\bf Description} \\
+\hline\hline
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_TYPE\_BOOL}} & 0 & Option value is of type
+  \verb|SANE_Bool|. \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_TYPE\_INT}} & 1 & Option value is of type
+  \verb|SANE_Int|. \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_TYPE\_FIXED}}&2 & Option value is of type
+  \verb|SANE_Fixed|. \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_TYPE\_STRING}}&3 & Option value is of type
+  \verb|SANE_String|. \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_TYPE\_BUTTON}} & 4 & An option of this type has no value.
+Instead, setting an option of this type has an option-specific
+side-effect.  For example, a button-typed option could be used by a
+backend to provide a means to select default values or to the tell an
+automatic document feeder to advance to the next sheet of paper. \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_TYPE\_GROUP}} & 5 & An option of this type has no value.
+This type is used to group logically related options.  A group option
+is in effect up to the point where another group option is encountered
+(or up to the end of the option list, if there are no other group
+options).  For group options, only members \code{title} and
+\code{type} are valid in the option descriptor. \\

+    \caption{Option Value Types (\code{SANE\_Value\_Type})}
+    \label{tab:valuetype}
+  \end{center}
+\end{table}
+
+\subsubsection{Option Value Unit}
+
+Member \code{unit} specifies what the physical unit of the option
+value is.  The possible values for type \code{\defn{SANE\_U\-nit}} are
+described in Table \ref{tab:units}.  Note that the specified unit is
+what the SANE backend expects.  It is entirely up to a frontend as to
+how these units a presented to the user.  For example, SANE expresses
+all lengths in millimeters.  A frontend is generally expected to
+provide appropriate conversion routines so that a user can express
+quantities in a customary unit (e.g., inches or centimeters).

+\end{table}
+
+\subsubsection{Option Value Size}\label{sec:valuesize}
+
+Member \code{size} specifies the size of the option value (in bytes).
+This member has a slightly different interpretation depending on the
+type of the option value:
+\begin{quote}
+  \begin{description}
+  \item[\code{SANE\_TYPE\_STRING}:] The size is the maximum size of
+    the string.  For the purpose of string size calcuations, the
+    terminating \code{NUL} character is considered to be part of the
+    string.  Note that the terminating \code{NUL} character must
+    always be present in string option values.
+  \item[\code{SANE\_TYPE\_INT}, \code{SANE\_TYPE\_FIXED}:] The size
+    must be a positive integer multiple of the size of a
+    \verb|SANE_Word|.  The option value is a vector of length
+    \[ \code{size}/\code{sizeof(SANE\_Word)}. \]
+  \item[\code{SANE\_TYPE\_BOOL}:] The size must be set to
+    \code{sizeof(SANE\_Word)}.
+  \item[\code{SANE\_TYPE\_BUTTON}, \code{SANE\_TYPE\_GROUP}:] The
+    option size is ignored.
+  \end{description}
+\end{quote}
+
+\subsubsection{Option Capabilities}
+
+Member \code{cap} describes what capabilities the option posseses.
+This is a bitset that is formed as the inclusive logical OR of the
+capabilities described in Table \ref{tab:capabilities}.  The SANE API
+provides the following to macros to test certain features of a given
+capability bitset:
+\begin{quote}
+  \begin{description}
+
+  \item[\code{\defn{SANE\_OPTION\_IS\_ACTIVE}(\var{cap})}:] This macro
+    returns \code{SANE\_TRUE} if and only if the option with the
+    capability set \var{cap} is currently active.
+
+  \item[\code{\defn{SANE\_OPTION\_IS\_SETTABLE}(\var{cap})}:] This
+    macro returns \code{SANE\_TRUE} if and only if the option with the
+    capability set \var{cap} is software settable.
+  \end{description}
+\end{quote}
+
+\begin{table}[htbp]
+  \begin{center}
+    \leavevmode
+    \begin{tabular}{|l|r|p{0.59\textwidth}|}
+\hline
+\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\bf Symbol} &
+\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\bf Code} &
+\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\bf Description} \\
+\hline\hline
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CAP\_SOFT\_SELECT}} & 1 & The option
+  value can be set by a call to \code{sane\_con\-trol\_opt\-ion()}.\\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CAP\_HARD\_SELECT}} & 2 & The option value can be set by
+  user-intervention (e.g., by flipping a switch).  The user-interface
+  should prompt the user to execute the appropriate action to set such
+  an option.  This capability is mutually exclusive with
+  SANE\_CAP\_SOFT\_SELECT (either one of them can be set, but not both
+  simultaneously).  \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CAP\_SOFT\_DETECT}} & 4 & The option
+  value can be detected by software.  If
+  \code{SANE\_\-CAP\_\-SO\-FT\_SEL\-ECT} is set, this capability {\em must\/}
+  be set.  If \code{SANE\_CAP\_HARD\_SELECT} is set, this capability
+  may or may not be set.  If this capability is set but neither
+  \code{SANE\_CAP\_SO\-FT\_SEL\-ECT} nor \code{SANE\_CAP\_HA\-RD\_SEL\-ECT}
+  are, then there is no way to control the option.  That is, the
+  option provides read-out of the current value only.  \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CAP\_EMULATED}} & 8 & If set, this capability indicates
+  that an option is not directly supported by the device and is
+  instead emulated in the backend.  A sophisticated frontend may
+  elect to use its own (presumably better) emulation in lieu of an emulated
+  option. \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CAP\_AUTOMATIC}} & 16 & If set, this capability indicates
+  that the backend (or the device) is capable to picking a reasonable
+  option value automatically.  For such options, it is possible to
+  select automatic operation by calling \code{sane\_control\_option()}
+  with an action value of \code{SANE\_ACTION\_SET\_AUTO}.  \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CAP\_INACTIVE}} & 32 & If set, this capability indicates
+  that the option is not currently active (e.g., because it's
+  meaningful only if another option is set to some other value). \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CAP\_ADVANCED}} & 64 &
+  If set, this capability indicates that the option should be
+  considered an ``advanced user option.''  A frontend typically
+  displays such options in a less conspicuous way than regular options
+  (e.g., a command line interface may list such options last or a
+  graphical interface may make them available in a seperate ``advanced
+  settings'' dialog).

+  \end{center}
+\end{table}
+
+\subsubsection{Option Value Constraints}
+
+It is often useful to constrain the values that an option can take.
+For example, constraints can be used by a frontend to determine how to
+represent a given option.  Member \code{constraint\_type} indicates
+what constraint is in effect for the option.  The constrained values
+that are allowed for the option are described by one of the union
+members of member \code{constraint}.  The possible values of type
+\code{\defn{SANE\_Constraint\_Type}} and the interpretation of the
+\code{constraint} union is described in Table~\ref{tab:constraints}.
+
+\begin{table}[htbp]

+\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\bf Symbol} &
+\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\bf Code} &
+\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\bf Description} \\
+
+\hline\hline
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CONSTRAINT\_NONE}} & 0 & The value is unconstrained.
+  The option can take any of the values possible for the option's
+  type. \\
+
+  \code{\defn{SANE\_CONSTRAINT\_RANGE}} & 1 & This constraint is
+  applicable to integer and fixed-point valued options only.  It
+  constrains the option value to a possibly quantized range of
+  numbers.  Option descriptor member \code{constraint.range} points to
+  a range of the type \code{\defn{SANE\_Range}}.  This type is illustrated
+  below:
+  \begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+typedef struct
+  {
+    SANE_Word min;
+    SANE_Word max;
+    SANE_Word quant;
+  }
+SANE_Range;
+\end{verbatim}
+  \end{quote}
+  All three members in this structure are interpreted according to the
+  option value type (\verb|SANE_TYPE_INT| or \verb|SANE_TYPE_FIXED|).
+  Members \code{min} and \code{max} specify the minimum and maximum
+  values, respectively.  If member \code{quant} is non-zero, it
+  specifies the quantization value.  If $l$ is the minimum value, $u$
+  the maximum value and $q$ the (non-zero) quantization of a range,
+  then the legal values are $v=k\cdot q+l$ for all non-negative
+  integer values of $k$ such that $v<=u$.  \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CONSTRAINT\_WORD\_LIST}} & 2 & This constraint is applicable
+  to integer and fixed-point valued options only.  It constrains the
+  option value to a list of numeric values.  Option descriptor member
+  \code{constraint.word\_list} points to a list of words that
+  enumerates the legal values.  The first element in that list is an
+  integer (\verb|SANE_Int|) that specifies the length of the list (not
+  counting the length itself).  The remaining elements in the list are
+  interpreted according to the type of the option value
+  (\verb|SANE_TYPE_INT| or \verb|SANE_TYPE_FIXED|). \\ 
+
+\code{\defn{SANE\_CONSTRAINT\_STRING\_LIST}} & 3 & This constraint is
+  applicable to string-valued options only.  It constrains the option
+  value to a list of strings.  The option descriptor member
+  \code{con\-strai\-nt.str\-ing\_list} points to a \code{NULL} terminated
+  list of strings that enumerate the legal values for the option
+  value.

+\section{Operations}
+
+\subsection{\code{sane\_init}}
+
+This function must be called before any other SANE function can be called.
+The behavior of a SANE backend is undefined if this function is not called
+first or if the status code returned by \code{sane\_init} is different from
+\code{\defn{SANE\_STATUS\_GOOD}}.  The version code of the backend is returned
+in the value pointed to by \code{version\_code}.  If that pointer is
+\code{NULL}, no version code is returned.  Argument \code{authorize} is either
+a pointer to a function that is invoked when the backend requires
+authentication for a specific resource or \code{NULL} if the frontend does not
+support authentication.
+\begin{quote}\index{sane\_init}
+\begin{verbatim}
+SANE_Status sane_init (SANE_Int * version_code,
+                       SANE_Authorization_Callback authorize);
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+The authorization function may be called by a backend in response to
+any of the following calls:
+\begin{quote}
+  \code{sane\_open}, \code{sane\_control\_option}, \code{sane\_start}
+\end{quote}
+If a backend was initialized without authorization function, then
+authorization requests that cannot be handled by the backend itself
+will fail automatically and the user may be prevented from accessing
+protected resources.  Backends are encouraged to implement means of
+authentication that do not require user assistance.  E.g., on a
+multi-user system that authenticates users through a login process a
+backend could automatically lookup the apporpriate password based on
+resource- and user-name.
+
+The authentication function type has the following declaration:
+\begin{quote}\index{SANE\_Authorization\_Callback}
+  \index{domain}\index{username}\index{password}
+\begin{verbatim}
+#define SANE_MAX_USERNAME_LEN   128
+#define SANE_MAX_PASSWORD_LEN   128
+
+typedef void (*SANE_Authorization_Callback)
+    (SANE_String_Const resource,
+     SANE_Char username[SANE_MAX_USERNAME_LEN],
+     SANE_Char password[SANE_MAX_PASSWORD_LEN]);
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+Three arguments are passed to the authorization function:
+\code{resource} is a string specifying the name of the resource that
+requires authorization.  A frontend should use this string to build a
+user-prompt requesting a username and a password.  The \code{username}
+and \code{password} arguments are (pointers to) an array of
+\code{SANE\_MAX\_USERNAME\_LEN} and \code{SANE\_MAX\_PASSWORD\_LEN}
+characters, respectively.  The authorization call should place the
+entered username and password in these arrays.  The returned strings
+{\em must\/} be ASCII-NUL terminated.
+
+\subsection{\code{sane\_exit}}
+
+This function must be called to terminate use of a backend.  The
+function will first close all device handles that still might be open
+(it is recommended to close device handles explicitly through a call
+to \code{sane\_clo\-se()}, but backends are required to release all
+resources upon a call to this function).  After this function returns,
+no function other than \code{sane\_init()} may be called (regardless
+of the status value returned by \code{sane\_exit()}.  Neglecting to
+call this function may result in some resources not being released
+properly.
+\begin{quote}\index{sane\_exit}
+\begin{verbatim}
+void sane_exit (void);
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+
+\subsection{\code{sane\_get\_devices}}
+
+This function can be used to query the list of devices that are
+available.  If the function executes successfully, it stores a pointer
+to a \code{NULL} terminated array of pointers to \verb|SANE_Device|
+structures in \code{*device\_list}.  The returned list is guaranteed
+to remain unchanged and valid until (a) another call to this function
+is performed or (b) a call to \code{sane\_exit()} is performed.  This
+function can be called repeatedly to detect when new devices become
+available.  If argument \code{local\_only} is true, only local devices
+are returned (devices directly attached to the machine that SANE is
+running on).  If it is false, the device list includes all remote
+devices that are accessible to the SANE library.
+\begin{quote}\index{sane\_get\_devices}
+\begin{verbatim}
+SANE_Status sane_get_devices (const SANE_Device *** device_list,
+                              SANE_Bool local_only);
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+This function may fail with \code{SANE\_STATUS\_NO\_MEM} if an
+insufficient amount of memory is available.
+
+\begin{quote}
+  \begin{center}
+    {\bf Backend Implementation Note}

+\code{a}.  The possible values of this parameter are described in more
+detail below.  The value of the option is passed through argument
+\code{v}.  It is a pointer to the memory that holds the option value.
+The memory area pointed to by \code{v} must be big enough to hold the
+entire option value (determined by member \code{size} in the
+corresponding option descriptor).  The only exception to this rule is
+that when setting the value of a string option, the string pointed to
+by argument \code{v} may be shorter since the backend will stop
+reading the option value upon encountering the first \code{NUL}
+terminator in the string.  If argument \code{i} is not \code{NULL},

+asynchronously (e.g., from within a signal handler).  It is important
+to note that completion of this operaton does {\em not\/} imply that
+the currently pending operation has been cancelled.  It only
+guarantees that cancellation has been {\em initiated}.  Cancellation
+completes only when the cancelled call returns (typically with a
+status value of \code{SANE\_STATUS\_CANCELLED}).  Since the SANE API
+does not require any other operations to be re-entrant, this implies
+that a frontend must {\em not\/} call any other operation until the
+cancelled operation has returned.
+
+
+\subsection{\code{sane\_set\_io\_mode}}
+
+This function is used to set the I/O mode of handle \code{h}.  The I/O mode
+can be either blocking or non-blocking.  If argument \code{m} is
+\code{SANE\_TRUE}, the mode is set to non-blocking mode, otherwise it's set to

+By default, newly opened handles operate in blocking mode.  A backend
+may elect not to support non-blocking I/O mode.  In such a case the
+status value \code{SANE\_STATUS\_UNSUPPORTED} is returned.  Blocking
+I/O must be supported by all backends, so calling this function with
+argument \code{m} set to \code{SANE\_FALSE} is guaranteed to complete

+\subsection{\code{sane\_get\_select\_fd}}
+
+This function is used to obtain a (platform-specific) file-descriptor
+for handle \code{h} that is readable if and only if image data is
+available (i.e., when a call to \code{sane\_read()} will return at
+least one byte of data).  If the call completes successfully, the
+select file-descriptor is returned in \code{*fd}.

+This function can be called only after a call to \code{sane\_start()}
+has been performed and the returned file-descriptor is guaranteed to
+remain valid for the duration of the current image acquisition (i.e.,
+until \code{sane\_cancel()} or \code{sane\_start()} get called again
+or until \code{sane\_read()} returns with status
+\code{SANE\_STA\-TUS\_EOF}).  Indeed, a backend must guarantee to
+close the returned select file descriptor at the point when the next
+\code{sane\_read()} call would return \code{SANE\_STA\-TUS\_EOF}.
+This is necessary to ensure the application can detect when this
+condition occurs without actually having to call \code{sane\_read()}.
+
+A backend may elect not to support this operation.  In such a case,
+the function returns with status code
+\code{SANE\_STATUS\_UNSUPPORTED}.
+
+Note that the only operation supported by the returned file-descriptor
+is a host operating-system dependent test whether the file-descriptor
+is readable (e.g., this test can be implemented using \code{select()}
+or \code{poll()} under UNIX).  If any other operation is performed on
+the file descriptor, the behavior of the backend becomes
+unpredictable.  Once the file-descriptor signals ``readable'' status,
+it will remain in that state until a call to \code{sane\_read()} is
+performed.  Since many input devices are very slow, support for this
+operation is strongly encouraged as it permits an application to do
+other work while image acquisition is in progress.
+
+This function may fail with one of the following status codes:
+\begin{quote}

+\subsection{\code{sane\_strstatus}}
+
+This function can be used to translate a SANE status code into a
+printable string.  The returned string is a single line of text that

+(full-stop).  The function is guaranteed to never return \code{NULL}.
+The returned pointer is valid at least until the next call to this

+\section{Code Flow}\index{code flow}
+
+The code flow for the SANE API is illustrated in
+Figure~\ref{fig:flow}.  Functions \code{sane\_init()} and
+\code{sane\_exit()} initialize and exit the backend, respectively.
+All other calls must be performed after initialization and before
+exiting the backend.
+
+\begin{figure}[htb]
+  \begin{center}
+    \leavevmode
+    \psfig{file=figs/flow.eps,height=0.5\textheight}
+    \caption{Code flow}
+    \label{fig:flow}
+  \end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+Function \code{sane\_get\_devices()} can be called any time after
+\code{sane\_init()} has been called.  It returns the list of the
+devices that are known at the time of the call.  This list may change
+over time since some devices may be turned on or off or a remote host
+may boot or shutdown between different calls.  It should be noted that
+this operation may be relatively slow since it requires contacting all
+configured devices (some of which may be on remote hosts).  A frontend
+may therefore want to provide the ability for a user to directly
+select a desired device without requiring a call to this function.
+
+Once a device has been chosen, it is opened using a call to
+\code{sane\_open()}.  Multiple devices can be open at any given time.
+A SANE backend must not impose artificial constraints on how many
+devices can be open at any given time.
+
+An opened device can be setup through the corresponding device handle
+using functions \code{sane\_get\_opt\-ion\_desc\-riptor()} and
+\code{sane\_control\_option()}.  While setting up a device, obtaining
+option descriptors and setting and reading of option values can be
+mixed freely.  It is typical for a frontend to read out all available
+options at the beginning and then build a dialog (either graphical or
+a command-line oriented option list) that allows to control the
+available options.  It should be noted that the number of options is
+fixed for a given handle.  However, as options are set, other options
+may become active or inactive.  Thus, after setting an option, it
+maybe necessary to re-read some or all option descriptors.  While
+setting up the device, it is also admissible to call
+\code{sane\_get\_parameters()} to get an estimate of what the image
+parameters will look like once image acquisition begins.
+
+The device handle can be put in blocking or non-blocking mode by a
+call to \code{sane\_set\_io\_mode()}.  Devices are required to support
+blocking mode (which is the default mode), but support for
+non-blocking I/O is strongly encouraged for operating systems such as
+UNIX.
+
+After the device is setup properly, image acquisition can be started
+by a call to \code{sane\_start()}.  The backend calculates the exact
+image parameters at this point.  So future calls to
+\code{sane\_get\_parameters()} will return the exact values, rather
+than estimates.  Whether the physical image acquisition starts at this
+point or during the first call to \code{sane\_read()} is unspecified
+by the SANE API.  If non-blocking I/O and/or a select-style interface
+is desired, the frontend may attempt to call
+\code{sane\_set\_io\_mode()} and/or \code{sane\_get\_select\_fd()} at
+this point.  Either of these functions may fail if the backend does
+not support the requested operation.
+
+Image data is collected by repeatedly calling \code{sane\_read()}.
+Eventually, this function will return an end-of-file status
+(\code{SANE\_STATUS\_EOF}).  This indicates the end of the current
+frame.  If the frontend expects additional frames (e.g., the
+individual channels in of a red/green/blue image or multiple images),
+it can call \code{sane\_start()} again.  Once all desired frames have
+been acquired, function \code{sane\_cancel()} must be called.  This
+operation can also be called at any other time to cancel a pending
+operation.  Note that \code{sane\_cancel()} must be called even if the
+last read operation returned \code{SANE\_STATUS\_EOF}.
+
+When done using the device, the handle should be closed by a call to
+\code{sane\_close()}.  Finally, before exiting the application,
+function \code{sane\_exit()} must be called.  It is important not to
+forget to call this function since otherwise some resources (e.g.,
+temporary files or locks) may remain unclaimed.
+
+
+\section{Well-Known Options}\index{well-known options}
+
+While most backend options are completely self-describing, there are a
+cases where a user interface might want to special-case the handling
+of certain options.  For example, the scan area is typically defined
+by four options that specify the top-left and bottom-right corners of
+the area.  With a graphical user interface, it would be tedious to
+force the user to type in these four numbers.  Instead, most such
+interfaces will want to present to the user a preview (low-resolution
+scan) of the scanner surface and let the user pick the scan area by
+dragging a rectangle into the desired position.  For this reason, the
+SANE API specifies a small number of option names that have
+well-defined meanings.
+
+\subsection{Option Number Count}\index{option count}
+
+Option number 0 has an empty string as its name.  The value of this
+option is of type \code{SANE\_TYPE\_INT} and it specifies the total
+number of options available for a given device (the count includes
+option number 0).  This means that there are two ways of counting the
+number of options available: a frontend can either cycle through all
+option numbers starting at one until
+\code{sane\_get\_option\_descriptor()} returns \code{NULL}, or a
+frontend can directly read out the value of option number 0.
+
+\subsection{Scan Resolution Option}\index{scan resolution}\index{resolution option}
+
+Option \code{resolution} is used to select the resolution at which an
+image should be acquired.  The type of this option is either
+\code{SANE\_TYPE\_INT} or \code{SANE\_TYPE\_FIXED}.  The unit is
+\code{SANE\_UNIT\_DPI} (dots/inch).
+
+This option is not mandatory, but if a backend does support it, it
+must implement it in a manner consistent with the above definition.
+
+\subsection{Preview Mode Option}\index{preview mode}
+
+The boolean option \code{preview} is used by a frontend to inform the
+backend when image acquisition should be optimized for speed, rather
+than quality (``preview mode'').  When set to \code{SANE\_TRUE},
+preview mode is in effect, when set to \code{SANE\_FALSE} image
+acquisition should proceed in normal quality mode.  The setting of
+this option \emph{must not\/} affect any other option.  That is, as
+far as the other options are concerned, the preview mode is completely
+side effect free.  A backend can assume that the frontend will take
+care of appropriately setting the scan resolution for preview mode
+(through option \code{resolution}).  A backend is free to override the
+\code{resolution} value with its own choice for preview mode, but it
+is advised to leave this choice to the frontend wherever possible.
+
+This option is not mandatory, but if a backend does support it, it
+must implement it in a manner consistent with the above definition.
+
+\subsection{Scan Area Options}\index{scan area options}
+
+The four most important well-known options are the ones that define
+the scan area.  The scan area is defined by two points (x/y coordinate
+pairs) that specify the top-left and the bottom-right corners.  This
+is illustrated in Figure~\ref{fig:area}.  Note that the origin of the
+coordinate system is at the top-left corner of the scan surface as
+seen by the sensor (which typically is a mirror image of the scan
+surface seen by the user).  For this reason, the top-left corner is
+the corner for which the abscissa and ordinate values are
+simultaneously the {\em smallest} and the bottom-right corner is the
+corner for which the abscissa and ordinate values are simulatenously
+the {\em largest}.  If this coordinate system is not natural for a
+given device, it is the job of the backend to perform the necessary
+conversions.
+\begin{figure}[tbp]
+  \begin{center}
+    \leavevmode
+    \psfig{file=figs/area.eps,height=0.3\textheight}
+    \caption{Scan area options}
+    \label{fig:area}
+  \end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+The names of the four options that define the scan area are given in
+the table below:
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+{\bf Name} & {\bf Description} \\
+\code{\defn{tl-x}} & Top-left $x$ coordinate value \\
+\code{\defn{tl-y}} & Top-left $y$ coordinate value \\
+\code{\defn{br-x}} & Bottom-right $x$ coordinate value \\
+\code{\defn{br-y}} & Bottom-right $y$ coordinate value \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+There are several rules that should be followed by front and backends
+regarding these options:
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Backends must attach a unit of either pixels
+  (\code{SANE\_UNIT\_PIXEL}) or millimeters (\code{SANE\_UNIT\_MM}) to
+  these options.  The unit of all four options must be identical.
+
+\item Whenever meaningful, a backend should attach a range or a
+  word-list constraint to these options.
+
+\item A frontend can determine the size of the scan surface by first
+  checking that the options have range constraints associated.  If a
+  range or word-list constraints exist, the frontend can take the
+  minimum and maximum values of one of the x and y option
+  range-constraints to determine the scan surface size.
+
+\item A frontend must work properly with any or all of these options
+  missing.
+

+.SH NAME
+saned \- SANE network daemon
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B saned
+.B [ \-a 
+.I [ username ]
+.B | \-d 
+.I [ n ]
+.B | \-s
+.I [ n ]
+.B | \-h
+.B ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B saned
+is the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) daemon that allows remote clients
+to access image acquisition devices available on the local host.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+The
+.B \-a
+flag requests that
+.B saned
+run in standalone daemon mode. In this mode, 
+.B saned
+will detach from the console and run in the background, listening for incoming
+client connections; 
+.B inetd
+is not required for
+.B saned
+operations in this mode. If the optional
+.B username
+is given after
+.B \-a
+,
+.B saned
+will drop root privileges and run as this user (and group).
+.PP
+The
+.B \-d
+and
+.B \-s
+flags request that
+.B saned
+run in debug mode (as opposed to
+.BR inetd (8)
+daemon mode).  In this mode,
+.B saned
+explicitly waits for a connection request.  When compiled with
+debugging enabled, these flags may be followed by a number to request
+debug info. The larger the number, the more verbose the debug output.
+E.g.,
+.B \-d128
+will request printing of all debug info. Debug level 0 means no debug output
+at all. The default value is 2. If flag
+.B \-d
+is used, the debug messages will be printed to stderr while
+.B \-s
+requests using syslog.
+.PP
+If 
+.B saned
+is run from inetd, xinetd or systemd, no option can be given.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-h
+flag displays a short help message.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+First and foremost: 
+.B saned
+is not intended to be exposed to the internet or other non-trusted
+networks. Make sure that access is limited by tcpwrappers and/or a firewall
+setup. Don't depend only on 
+.BR saned 's
+own authentication. Don't run
+.B saned
+as root if it's not necessary. And do
+.B not
+install
+.B saned
+as setuid root.
+.PP
+The 
+.I saned.conf
+configuration file contains both options for the daemon and the access
+list.
+.TP
+\fBdata_portrange\fP = \fImin_port\fP - \fImax_port\fP
+Specify the port range to use for the data connection. Pick a port
+range between 1024 and 65535; don't pick a too large port range, as it
+may have performance issues. Use this option if your \fBsaned\fP
+server is sitting behind a firewall. If that firewall is a Linux
+machine, we strongly recommend using the Netfilter
+\fInf_conntrack_sane\fP module instead.
+.PP
+The access list is a list of host names, IP addresses or IP subnets
+(CIDR notation) that are permitted to use local SANE devices. IPv6
+addresses must be enclosed in brackets, and should always be specified
+in their compressed form. Connections from localhost are always
+permitted. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored. A line containing the single character ``+'' is interpreted
+to match any hostname. This allows any remote machine to use your
+scanner and may present a security risk, so this shouldn't be used
+unless you know what you're doing.
+.PP
+A sample configuration file is shown below:
+.PP
+.RS
+# Daemon options
+.br
+data_portrange = 10000 - 10100
+.br
+# Access list
+.br
+scan\-client.somedomain.firm
+.br
+# this is a comment
+.br
+192.168.0.1
+.br
+192.168.2.12/29
+.br
+[::1]
+.br
+[2001:db8:185e::42:12]/64
+.RE
+.PP
+The case of the host names does not matter, so AHost.COM is considered
+identical to ahost.com.
+.SH SERVER DAEMON CONFIGURATION
+For
+.B saned
+to work properly in its default mode of operation, it is also necessary to 
+add the appropriate configuration for 
+.I (x)inetd or systemd.
+(see below).
+Note that your inetd must support IPv6 if you
+want to connect to saned over IPv6 ; xinetd, openbsd-inetd and systemd 
+are known to support IPv6, check the documentation for your inetd daemon.
+.PP
+In the sections below the configuration for 
+.I inetd, xinetd
+and
+.I systemd
+are described in more detail.
+.PP
+For the configurations below it is necessary to add a line of the following 
+form to
+.IR /etc/services :
+.PP
+.RS
+sane\-port 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon
+.RE
+.PP
+The official IANA short name for port 6566 is "sane\-port". The older name 
+"sane" is now deprecated.
+.SH INETD CONFIGURATION
+It is required to add a single line to the inetd configuration file
+.IR (/etc/inetd.conf)
+.
+.PP
+The configuration line normally looks like this:
+.PP
+.RS
+sane\-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned @SBINDIR@/saned saned
+.E
+.PP
+However, if your system uses
+.BR tcpd (8)
+for additional security screening, you may want to disable saned
+access control by putting ``+'' in
+.IR saned.conf
+and use a line of the following form in
+.IR /etc/inetd.conf
+instead:
+.PP
+.RS
+sane\-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/tcpd @SBINDIR@/saned
+.RE
+.PP
+Note that both examples assume that there is a
+.B saned
+group and a
+.B saned
+user.  If you follow this example, please make sure that the 
+access permissions on the special device are set such that
+.B saned
+can access the scanner (the program generally needs read and
+write access to scanner devices).
+.SH XINETD CONFIGURATION
+If xinetd is installed on your system instead of inetd the following example
+for 
+.I /etc/xinetd.conf 
+may be helpful:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+# default: off
+# description: The sane server accepts requests 
+# for network access to a local scanner via the
+# network.
+service sane\-port
+{
+   port        = 6566
+   socket_type = stream
+   wait        = no
+   user        = saned
+   group       = saned
+   server      = @SBINDIR@/saned
+}
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.SH SYSTEMD CONFIGURATION
+for systemd we need to add 2 configuation files in 
+.I /etc/systemd/system.
+.PP
+The first file we need to add here is called 
+.I saned.socket. 
+It shall have
+the following contents:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+[Unit]
+Description=saned incoming socket
+
+[Socket]
+ListenStream=6566
+Accept=yes
+MaxConnections=1
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=sockets.target
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.PP
+The second file to be added is 
+.I saned@.service 
+with the following contents:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+[Unit]
+Description=Scanner Service
+Requires=saned.socket
+
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/saned
+User=saned
+Group=saned
+StandardInput=null
+StandardOutput=syslog
+StandardError=syslog
+# Environment=SANE_CONFIG_DIR=@CONFIGDIR@ SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+.PP
+Is you need to set an environment variable for saned like
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+you will have to remove the # on the last line and set the variable 
+appropriately.  Multiple variables can be set by separating the assignments 
+by spaces as shown in the example above.
+.PP
+Unlike 
+.I (x)inetd
+systemd allows debugging output from backends set using
+.B SANE_DEBUG_<backend_name> 
+to be captured. With the service unit as described above, the debugging output is 
+forwarded to the system log.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I /etc/hosts.equiv
+The hosts listed in this file are permitted to access all local SANE
+devices.  Caveat: this file imposes serious security risks and its use
+is not recommended.
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/saned.conf
+Contains a list of hosts permitted to access local SANE devices (see
+also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/saned.users
+If this file contains lines of the form
+
+user:password:backend
+
+access to the listed backends is restricted. A backend may be listed multiple
+times for different user/password combinations. The server uses MD5 hashing
+if supported by the client.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may
+contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories are
+separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a
+semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file
+is searched in two default directories: first, the current working
+directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@.  If the value of the
+environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
+the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
+directories.  For example, setting
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B scanimage
+is a command-line interface to control image acquisition devices such
+as flatbed scanners or cameras.  The device is controlled via
+command-line options.  After command-line processing,
+.B scanimage
+normally proceeds to acquire an image.  The image data is written to
+standard output in one of the PNM (portable aNyMaP) formats (PBM for
+black-and-white images, PGM for grayscale images, and PPM for color
+images) or in TIFF (black-and-white, grayscale or color).
+.B scanimage
+accesses image acquisition devices through the
+.B SANE
+(Scanner Access Now Easy) interface and can thus support any device for which
+there exists a
+.B SANE
+backend (try
+.B apropos
+.I sane\-
+to get a list of available backends).
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+To get a list of devices:
+
+  scanimage \-L
+
+To scan with default settings to the file image.pnm:
+
+  scanimage >image.pnm
+
+To scan 100x100 mm to the file image.tiff (\-x and \-y may not be available with
+all devices):
+
+  scanimage \-x 100 \-y 100 \-\-format=tiff >image.tiff
+
+To print all available options:
+
+  scanimage \-h
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+Parameters are separated by a blank from single-character options (e.g.
+\-d epson) and by a "=" from multi-character options (e.g. \-\-device\-name=epson).
+
+.PP
+The
+.B \-d
+or
+.B \-\-device\-name
+options must be followed by a
+.B SANE
+device-name like 
+.RI ` epson:/dev/sg0 '
+or 
+.RI ` hp:/dev/usbscanner0 '.
+A (partial) list of available devices can be obtained with the
+.B \-\-list\-devices
+option (see below).  If no device-name is specified explicitly,
+.B scanimage
+reads a device-name from the environment variable
+.BR SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE .
+If this variable is not set, 
+.B scanimage
+will attempt to open the first available device.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-\-format 
+.I format
+option selects how image data is written to standard output.
+.I format
+can be
+.B pnm
+or
+.BR tiff.
+If
+.B \-\-format
+is not used, PNM is written.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-i
+or
+.B \-\-icc\-profile
+option is used to include an ICC profile into a TIFF file.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-L
+or
+.B \-\-list\-devices
+option requests a (partial) list of devices that are available.  The
+list is not complete since some devices may be available, but are not
+listed in any of the configuration files (which are typically stored
+in directory 
+.IR @CONFIGDIR@ ).
+This is particularly the case when accessing scanners through the network.  If
+a device is not listed in a configuration file, the only way to access it is
+by its full device name.  You may need to consult your system administrator to
+find out the names of such devices.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-f
+or
+.B \-\-formatted\-device\-list
+option works similar to
+.BR \-\-list\-devices ,
+but requires a format string.
+.B scanimage
+replaces the placeholders
+.B %d %v %m %t %i %n
+with the device name, vendor name, model name, scanner type, an index
+number and newline respectively. The command
+.PP
+.RS
+.B scanimage \-f
+.I \*(lq scanner number %i device %d is a %t, model %m, produced by %v \*(rq
+.PP
+.RE
+will produce something like:
+.PP
+.RS
+scanner number 0  device sharp:/dev/sg1 is  a  flatbed scanner, model JX250
+SCSI, produced by SHARP
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+.B \-\-batch*
+options provide the features for scanning documents using document
+feeders.  
+.BR \-\-batch
+.RI [ format ]
+is used to specify the format of the filename that each page will be written
+to.  Each page is written out to a single file.  If
+.I format
+is not specified, the default of out%d.pnm (or out%d.tif for \-\-format tiff)
+will be used.  
+.I format
+is given as a printf style string with one integer parameter.
+.B \-\-batch\-start
+.I start
+selects the page number to start naming files with. If this option is not
+given, the counter will start at 1.
+.B \-\-batch\-count
+.I count
+specifies the number of pages to attempt to scan.  If not given, 
+scanimage will continue scanning until the scanner returns a state
+other than OK.  Not all scanners with document feeders signal when the
+ADF is empty, use this command to work around them.
+With 
+.B \-\-batch\-increment
+.I increment
+you can change the amount that the number in the filename is incremented
+by.  Generally this is used when you are scanning double-sided documents
+on a single-sided document feeder.  A specific command is provided to
+aid this:
+.B \-\-batch\-double
+will automatically set the increment to 2.
+.B \-\-batch\-prompt
+will ask for pressing RETURN before scanning a page. This can be used for
+scanning multiple pages without an automatic document feeder.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-\-accept\-md5\-only
+option only accepts user authorization requests that support MD5 security. The
+.B SANE
+network daemon
+.RB ( saned )
+is capable of doing such requests. See
+.BR saned (8).
+.PP
+The
+.B \-p
+or
+.B \-\-progress
+option requests that
+.B scanimage
+prints a progress counter. It shows how much image data of the current image has
+already been received by
+.B scanimage 
+(in percent).
+.PP
+The
+.B \-n
+or
+.B \-\-dont\-scan
+option requests that
+.B scanimage
+only sets the options provided by the user but doesn't actually perform a
+scan. This option can be used to e.g. turn off the scanner's lamp (if
+supported by the backend).
+.PP
+The
+.B \-T
+or
+.B \-\-test
+option requests that
+.B scanimage
+performs a few simple sanity tests to make sure the backend works as
+defined by the
+.B SANE
+API (in particular the
+.B sane_read
+function is exercised by this test).
+.PP
+The
+.B \-A
+or
+.B \-\-all-options
+option requests that
+.B scanimage
+lists all available options exposed the backend, including button options.
+The information is printed on standard output and no scan will be done.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-h
+or
+.B \-\-help
+options request help information.  The information is printed on
+standard output and in this case, no attempt will be made to acquire
+an image.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-v
+or
+.B \-\-verbose
+options increase the verbosity of the operation of
+.B scanimage.
+The option may be specified repeatedly, each time increasing the verbosity
+level.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-B
+or
+.B \-\-buffer-size
+changes the input buffer size from 32KB to the number kB specified or 1M.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-V
+or
+.B \-\-version
+option requests that
+.B scanimage
+prints the program and package name, the version number of
+the
+.B SANE
+distribution that it came with and the version of the backend that it
+loads. Usually that's the dll backend. If more information about the version
+numbers of the backends are necessary, the
+.B DEBUG
+variable for the dll backend can be used. Example: SANE_DEBUG_DLL=3 scanimage
+\-L.
+.PP
+As you might imagine, much of the power of
+.B scanimage
+comes from the fact that it can control any
+.B SANE
+backend.  Thus, the exact set of command-line options depends on the
+capabilities of the selected device.  To see the options for a device named
+.IR dev ,
+invoke
+.B scanimage
+via a command-line of the form:
+.PP
+.RS
+.B scanimage \-\-help \-\-device\-name
+.I dev
+.RE
+.PP
+The documentation for the device-specific options printed by
+.B \-\-help
+is best explained with a few examples:
+
+ \-l 0..218mm [0]
+.br
+    Top-left x position of scan area.
+.PP
+.RS
+The description above shows that option
+.B \-l
+expects an option value in the range from 0 to 218 mm.  The
+value in square brackets indicates that the current option value is 0
+mm. Most backends provide similar geometry options for top-left y position (\-t),
+width (\-x) and height of scan-area (\-y).
+.RE
+
+
+ \-\-brightness \-100..100% [0]
+.br
+    Controls the brightness of the acquired image.
+.PP
+.RS
+The description above shows that option
+.B \-\-brightness
+expects an option value in the range from \-100 to 100 percent.  The
+value in square brackets indicates that the current option value is 0
+percent.
+.RE
+
+ \-\-default\-enhancements
+.br
+    Set default values for enhancement controls.
+.PP
+.RS
+The description above shows that option
+.B \-\-default\-enhancements
+has no option value.  It should be thought of as having an immediate
+effect at the point of the command-line at which it appears.  For
+example, since this option resets the
+.B \-\-brightness

+.RS
+The description above shows that option
+.B \-\-mode
+accepts an argument that must be one of the strings
+.BR Lineart ,
+.BR Gray ,
+or
+.BR Color .
+The value in the square bracket indicates that the option is currently
+set to
+.BR Gray .
+For convenience, it is legal to abbreviate the string values as long as
+they remain unique.  Also, the case of the spelling doesn't matter.  For
+example, option setting
+.B \-\-mode col
+is identical to
+.BR "\-\-mode Color" .
+.RE
+
+ \-\-custom\-gamma[=(yes|no)] [inactive]
+.br
+    Determines whether a builtin or a custom gamma-table
+.br
+    should be used.
+.PP
+.RS
+The description above shows that option
+.B \-\-custom\-gamma
+expects either no option value, a "yes" string, or a "no" string.
+Specifying the option with no value is equivalent to specifying "yes".
+The value in square-brackets indicates that the option is not
+currently active.  That is, attempting to set the option would result
+in an error message.  The set of available options typically depends
+on the settings of other options.  For example, the
+.B \-\-custom\-gamma
+table might be active only when a grayscale or color scan-mode has
+been requested.
+
+Note that the
+.B \-\-help
+option is processed only after all other options have been processed.
+This makes it possible to see the option settings for a particular
+mode by specifying the appropriate mode-options along
+with the
+.B \-\-help
+option.  For example, the command-line:
+.PP
+.B  scanimage \-\-help \-\-mode
+.I color
+.PP
+would print the option settings that are in effect when the color-mode
+is selected.

+.br
+    Gamma-correction table.  In color mode this option
+.br
+    equally affects the red, green, and blue channels
+.br
+    simultaneously (i.e., it is an intensity gamma table).
+.PP
+.RS
+The description above shows that option
+.B \-\-gamma\-table
+expects zero or more values in the range 0 to 255.  For example, a
+legal value for this option would be "3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12".  Since
+it's cumbersome to specify long vectors in this form, the same can be
+expressed by the abbreviated form "[0]3-[9]12".  What this means is
+that the first vector element is set to 3, the 9-th element is set to
+12 and the values in between are interpolated linearly.  Of course, it
+is possible to specify multiple such linear segments.  For example,
+"[0]3-[2]3-[6]7,[7]10-[9]6" is equivalent to "3,3,3,4,5,6,7,10,8,6".
+The program
+.B gamma4scanimage

+for details).
+.RE

+The description above is an example of an option that takes an

+    - Upper left X,Y       |- all three coded in 600 dpi units 
+    - Width, Length        |

+
+/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
+
+Color shifts
+
+Color order returned by the scanner is Red, then Green, then Blue. There is a color shift, meaning the raster for the Red is not followed by the Green raster for the same line.
+The shifts are:
+  dpi          lines per color
+ 1200				 16
+ 1125				 15
+ 1050				 14
+  900				 12

+  150                 2
+   90				  1
+   75				  1
+   50				  0
+
+Some resolution give garbage. However that table might not be complete.

+
+TECO VM3575 reads 12 lines of calibration
+TECO VM656A reads 8 lines of calibration
+TECO VM6586 ??
+
+Algorithms used (text from Alex Wulms):
+The old algorithm was based on the assumption that the calibration value needs 
+to be an offset, to go from the value obtained during input to the average 
+value (0x800).
+
+E.g., if the input value is 0x800, the calibration value must be 0x800 (0x1000 
+- 0x800).
+Likewise, if the input value is 0x700, the calibration value must be 0x900 
+(0x1000 - 0x700)
+And if the input value is 0x600, the calibration value must be 0xA00
+
+The new algorithm is based on the assumption that the calibration needs to be 
+a multiplication factor, to compensate for the too strong or too weak pixel 
+in the sensor. Again, we want to obtain the average value (approximately 
+0x800) for every pixel read during calibration.
+
+E.g., if the input value is 0x800, the calibration value must be 0x800 
+(0x800*0x800 / 0x800).
+Likewise, if the input value is 0x700, the calibration value must be 0x924 
+(0x800*0x800 / 0x700).
+And if the input value is 0x600, the calibration value must 0xAAA (0x800*0x800 
+/ 0x600)
+
+Though, carefull comparison with scans done under windows has shown that the 
+factor is slightly different from 0x800*0x800(=0x400000) but in stead it 
+seems to be approximately 0x40302f (which would mean that the average value 
+is approximately 0x803 in stead of 0x800).
+
+Hope this is clarifies the new algorithm.

+
+<blockquote>
+The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a
+symlink to such a device. To find out to which device your scanner is assigned
+and how you have to set the permissions of that device, have a look at
+<a href="http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-scsi.5.html">sane-scsi</a>.
+</blockquote>
+
+<blockquote>
+When the generic scsi driver of the system supports selection
+of scsi buffer sizes the umax backend calculates the scsi buffer
+sizes in dependance of the numbers of bytes per scanline.
+With <i>scsi-buffer-size-min</i> and <i>scsi-buffer-size-max</i>
+the scsi buffer size can be defined in a range between 4KB and 1MB.
+Especially the minimum value is very important. If this value is
+set too small the backend is not able to send gamma tables to the
+scanner or to do a correct color calibration. This may result in
+strange color effects. If the minimum value is set too large then
+the backend is not able to allocate the requested scsi buffer size
+and aborts with out of memory error. The default is 32KB, for
+some scanners it should be increased to 64KB.
+
+<p>
+The option <i>scan-lines</i> defines the number of lines that
+shall be scanned with one scsi read command for a real scan.
+The number of lines that are read with one scsi command for
+preview scans are defined by the option <i>preview-lines</i>.
+Both have to be in the range between 1 and 65536.
+<p>
+With the option <i>scsi-maxqueue</i> you can define the number
+of scsi commands that shall be queued. UMAX scanners do not
+support command queueing - as far as I know. But some scsi controller
+drivers do support queueing in the kernel. In this case it does not
+make sense to queue more than 2 commands.
+<p>
+When you are able to do color previews but color scans do not
+work you can set the option <i>force-preview-bit-rgb 1</i>.
+This always sets the preview bit when acquiring a color scan.
+The image quality may be reduced.
+<p>
+Some scanners (especally very old scanners) may need the options
+<i>slow-speed</i> and/or <i>care-about-smearing</i>. The value
+-1 uses the value defined by the driver, 0 disables the feature,
+1 enables the feature. <b>Do not change these options unless
+you really know what you do, you can destroy your scanner
+by setting wrong values for this options!!!</b>
+<p>
+Some scsi drivers (or may be some scanners) do return an invalid
+error code when a scsi command is executed. There are different
+ways to handle such bad error codes. You can define the behaviour
+of the umax-backend by setting the option <i>handle-bad-sense-error</i>
+in umax.conf. You can set the following values:<br>
+<dl>
+<dd>0 : handle as device busy</dd>
+<dd>1 : handle as ok</dd>
+<dd>2 : handle as i/o error</dd>
+<dd>3 : ignore bad error code, continue sense handler</dd>
+</dl>
+In most cases it does work when this condition is handled as a
+device busy state so this is the default (0).
+<p>
+The option <i>execute-request-sense</i> disables(0) or enables(1)
+the scsi command REQUEST_SENSE. The command can be called when the
+scanner asks the driver to do calibration. The driver does
+not know the required calibration parameters for all scanners.
+Some scanners return the needed parameters when the driver
+executes the REQUEST_SENSE command. But there is a problem
+with the REQUEST_SENSE command on some systems with some
+scsi controller drivers. This can cause a system hang.
+So the safe way is to disable the REQUEST_SENSE command,
+but the driver may not be able to do correct calibration
+in this case.
+<p>
+For some scanners the calibration has to be done by the driver.
+For this the driver has to know some values about the calibration
+data. When the REQUEST_SENSE command is disabled or the scanner
+does not return the correct data the driver needs to know the
+correct parameters. For some scanners the parameters are stored
+in the driver. When these values are not set correct the image
+might look very strange. To be sure that you have a problem
+with the calibration please enable debug output.
+<p>
+<i>calibration-full-ccd</i>:<br>
+The calibration can be done for each element of the CCD (1)
+or for each pixel of the requested image(0). 
+The value -1 enables the value defined in the driver.
+<p>
+<i>calibration-width-offset</i>:<br>
+Some scanners use more pixels than calculated by image/CCD
+parameters. A value larger or equal 0 defines the offset.
+The value -1 enables the value defined in the driver.
+<p>
+<i>calibration-bytes-pixel</i>:<br>
+Some scanners use 1 byte calibration data although the
+scanner supports more than 8 bits/pixel. You can define
+1 or 2 bytes per pixel calinration data. 
+The value -1 enables the value defined in the driver.
+<p>
+<i>invert-shading-data</i>:<br>
+Some scanners need inverted shading data (1), others
+need original shading data (0).
+The value -1 enables the value defined in the driver.
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<h2>
+SCSI ADAPTER TIPS:</h2>
+
+<blockquote>
+The UMAX-scanners do block the scsi-bus for a few seconds while
+scanning. It is not necessary to connect the scanner to its own SCSI-adapter.
+But if you need short response time for your SCSI-harddisk (e.g. if your
+computer is a file-server), I suggest you use an own SCSI-adapter for your
+UMAX-scanner.
+</blockquote>
+
+<blockquote>
+The SCSI-adapters that are shipped with some Umax-scanners
+are very simple ones. I suggest not to use them. If you really want to
+try: the UDS-IS11 uses a DTC3181E chip (compatible to NCR5380). On linux
+you may have the chance to get it work with the recent g_NCR5380-driver.
+The card does not have IRQ/DMA. Try the following option for kernel boot
+option:
+<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dtc_3181e=0x280,255
+<p>&nbsp;or use the following command:
+<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; insmod g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255
+ncr_addr=0x280 dtc_3181e=1
+<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - ncr_irq=255 : no IRQ, no DMA
+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - ncr_irq=254 : autoprobe IRQ
+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - ncr_addr : can be: 0x220 0x240 0x280 0x2A0 0x2C0 0x300 0x320 0x340

+If you own a UMAX-SCSI-scanner that is not listed as supported,

+to the umax-backend. If the data-block is large enough, the backend prints
+a <b>warning</b> and continues, but it is possible that not everything

+
+    * warmup selectable if available
+
+    * changed umax-scsi.c like described from Gordon Matzigkeit

+
+    * added "Astra 1200S" and "UC840" as supported

+      now no floatingpoint-exception will occur if no resolution is given!
+
+    * changed range-check for width and height
+
+    * removed bug in set_window for three-pass-rgb-mode
+      -selected wrong buffer for some green and blue options

+    * changed start_scan(us) to better use with wid-list
+      and added missing 3 wid-bytes in scan.cmd
+
+    * removed parameter color in three_pass_function_headers,
+      the color ist taken from us->three_pass_color now.
+
+
+sane-0.63/0.64/0.65 -> 0.66
+---------------------------
+
+    * changed gamma-data-upload for 3-pass-color-scan
+
+    * corrected wrong calculation for highlight and shadow
+      selection for rgb-values
+
+    * changed gamma data to use 8 bit (256 bytes) or 10 bit (1024 bytes)

+
+    * made custom gamma available for lineart and halftone for nonlinear effects
+
+    * added Vista-T630 as supported scanner
+
+    * removed test_warmup in wait_scanner because adaptec 1542 has problems
+      with request_sense-command in test_warmup
+      it was only used for printing a message, so it was not important.
+
+    * if a scanner has a full inquiry-block but is not known to be supported,
+      the driver will print a warning and continue instead of aborting,
+      option --continue (on umax-cli) will suppress the warning!
+
+    * changed ugly definition
+      char gamma[x] -> char *gamma; gamma=alloca(x);
+
+    * removed bug (wrong length for 10 bit-gamma) in send_gamma_data
+
+    * changed all buffer-definitions to unsigned char and insterted
+      type conversions, so there are no more warnings because of
+      typemismatches.

+    * corrected bad definition of set_DCF2_gamma_output_bits
+
+
+sane-0.67 -> 0.68
+-----------------
+
+    * changed open config to fp = sanei_config_open(UMAX_CONFIG_FILE)

+
+    * added calib_lines to structure US and added it to
+      set_window - command in umax-scsi.c
+
+    * changed in umax-scsi.c routine identify_scanner:
+      vendor and product is tested for each model instead of
+      vendor=="UMAX " and only model tested!
+      Because of that the format of scanner_str has changed
+      from product,product,...
+      to vendor,product, vendor,product,...
+
+    * added support for Linotype Hell Jade (LinoHell Office)
+
+    * added empty routine umax_do_calibration in umax-scsi.c, it shall be called
+      after umax_start_scan!
+
+    * replaced all umax_*scsi with sanei_*scsi, so the umax-driver
+      now directly calls the sanei_scsi-commands.
+
+    * moved sense-handler from umax.c to umax-scsi.c
+      and added detection for driver-calibration-request
+      sense_handler got a new parameter (void *arg).
+
+    * changed wait_scanner for SUN: usleep(0.1sec) -> sleep(1s)
+      this is only a bad bugfix that will be replaced one day!
+

+
+    * added routine umax_order_line_to_pixel and umax_order_line
+
+    * moved reader_process from umax.c to umax-scsi.c
+      and added routine for color ordering.
+
+    * reset length offest in do_inquiry from 4 to 5
+      and set_inquiry_length-offset from 4 to 5
+      because umax-S6E didn't work with it!
+
+    * corrected error in identify-scanner in vendor-test
+
+    * changed end-detection of list of known scanners from
+      #define known_scanners 15 to last item "END_OF_LIST"
+
+    * added routine that corrects wrong inquiry-data from

+
+    * added test and selection for do_color_ordering in check_values
+
+    * changed __sun-code in umax_wait_scanner because the scsi-driver
+      answers with IOERROR instead of DEVICE_BUSY
+      (this is only a bugfix for a little time)
+
+
+sane-0.70/0.71 -> 0.72
+----------------------
+
+    * inactivated selection of quality calibration (until it is supported
+      by the driver)
+
+    * changed maximum x_resolution from optical_res to max_x_res
+
+    * reordered DBG-levels and defined them by symbols
+
+    * changed all sizes that used type int to type size_t
+
+    * changed wait_scanner for testing !sane_status_good,
+      because testing sane_status_device_busy does not work with

+
+    * changed ccd-order in umax_order_line, the order is now
+      specified by 9 values (before by 3 values), changed
+      order tables and added a table for Astra 600S and
+      another table for Astra 610S
+
+    * changed ccd-order, now based on optical_resolution
+      and added new routine umax_forget_line

+
+    * moved WAIT_SCANNER from umax_read_data to umax_read_image_data,
+      umax_read_shading_data now works!
+
+    * added umax_start_scan at the end of calibration by driver,
+      the scanner does not hang any more if quality calibration is enabled!
+      There must'nt be a "wait_scanner" in calibration by driver routine!!!
+
+    * added usage of driver internal values for calibration by driver if
+      the scanner does not give back the informations about the shading data:
+      width = dev->width * dev->inquiry_optical_res ( * 3 in RGB-mode )
+
+    * added 2 calibration-routines:

+
+    * disabled quality calibration in preview mode

+
+    * added sigterm_handler for umax_reader_process
+      changed sane_canel, do_canel and do_eof(=close_pipe),
+      cancel now works!
+

+      there has been an overflow because of big buffersize
+
+      
+sane-0.74 -> 1.00 (build 0)
+---------------------------
+

+
+    * removed static allocation for gamma_table[0..3], this is done dynamically
+      in sane_open and freed in sane_close now.
+
+    * added an empty string to the end of scan_mode_list and source_list
+

+------------------
+
+   * Bits for ADF and UTA in driver internal inquiry block (old UMAX scanners)

+      added new modus that "guesses" the values for Mirage D-16L.
+
+    * Added read_shading_data to 16 bit calibration routine and made a routine for
+      averaging with low byte first and one for high byte first
+
+    * Byte order (HBT) is set always (also in lineart and halftone)
+      because it is used in driver calibration
+
+    * Added relevant_*_res the is set to normal or double resolution values
+
+    * Added test if scsi buffer is large enough for one shading line
+
+    * selection for Calibration mode, Shading type and Speed/Smear

+
+build-10 -> build-11
+--------------------
+
+    * test for adf errors (sane_start) is now only done if adf is selected
+
+
+build-11 -> build-12

+
+
+build-13 -> build-14

+    * changed cbhs_str[CBHS_50] from "78-178" to "0-50"
+
+    * changed umax-uc1200se.h inquiry byte 0x64 bit 5 to 0 (gamma download format != 2)
+      and wdb len from 0x30 to 0x31
+
+    * disabled halftone pattern download, and halftone dimension selection - not ready

+
+
+build-17 -> build-18 (sane-1.0.2)
+---------------------------------
+
+    * some cosmetic changes of the form
+        if (..) {...}
+      =>
+        if (..)
+        {
+          ...
+        }
+
+    * removed unnecessary SHADING_TYPE-handling routines for UMAX S-6E, UMAX S-6EG and Vista-S6E

+--------------------
+
+    * added UMAX PowerLook III as supported scanner
+
+    * added EPSON Perfection600 as supported scanner (is a Astra 1200S)
+
+    * type of option 0 (Option numbers) is set to SANE_TYPE_INT now (undefined before)
+
+    * removed bug that mixed 12 bit and 14/16 bit gamma table when 14 or 16 bit are supported
+      and changed value range of grey custom gamma table:
+      - maximum output value is 255 for 8 bits/pixel
+      - maximum output value is 65535 for 9-16 bits/pixel
+      the custom gamma table does work now with 9-16 bits/pixel output mode

+
+
+build-19 -> build-20
+--------------------
+
+    * added variable calibration_width_offset, Mirage D-16L offset of 308 is defined there
+      and added offset of 28 for PowerLook III
+
+    * umax_do_calibration: guessed calibration data vaules use 2 bytes/color if scanner
+      supports gamma input bit depth supports 2 bytes/color
+
+    * calibration by driver now does work for PowerLook III
+
+    * added function umax_set_rgb_bind() that sets the sensitivity of some options
+      that make available different settings for RGB. This function now is called
+      when scanmode is selected.
+
+    * changed some int to unsigned int
+
+    * made dev->pause_after_reposition = -1; as default, so as default sane-umax does not wait
+      any more while the scanhead is moving back - this may break the support of some scanners
+      so it may have to be changed (dev->pause_after_reposition = 0;) for some scanners.
+      reported to work for:
+      - Supervista S12
+      - PowerLook III
+      - Astra 2200
+
+
+build-20 -> build-21 (sane-1.0.3)
+---------------------------------

+
+build-21 -> build-22
+--------------------
+
+    * replaced fgets() by sanei_config_read()
+
+    * added command queueing for scsi read commands
+      - removed WAIT_SCANNER scsi command call after read command
+      - the additional buffers are allocated in the reader process
+      - the number of buffers can be defined in umax.conf
+        with option scsi-maxqueue [1..8] default:2
+      (did some tests with Supervista S12 and PowerLook III
+       on the same scsi controller (ncr53c810):
+       command queueing works, it is possible to start
+       both scanners at the same time. The scanner with the
+       higher scsi-ID (=priority) does scan without stops,
+       the other scanner has to wait long time between the
+       scsi-read commands, it also is possible to give
+       bothe scanners different scsi command queueing depth).
+
+    * prepared replacement of pipe by sanei_ipc_* routines 
+
+    * added routines umax_get_lamp_status and umax_set_lamp_status
+
+    * updated inquiry output (new bits from powerlook scsi protocol 1.0 X101)
+
+    * added new (powerlook scsi protocol 1.0 X101) window descriptor block entries to umax-scsidef.h
+
+    * added button protocol (3 buttons, from powerlook scsi protocol 1.0 X101)
+
+    * added button "lamp off" to turn off scanner lamp
+      (this option may be remoeved again in later version, may be
+       it will be replaced by an autmatic lamp turn off function)
+
+    * added options to umax.conf
+      lamp-off-at-exit [01] default:0
+      lamp-off-time [10..720] (in minutes) default:30
+
+    * if  lamp_off_at_exit == 1 and lamp_control_available == 1
+      the scanner lamp is turned off in sane_close
+
+    * renamed umax-scanner.h and umax-"scannername".h to umax*.c
+      because these files create data code
+
+
+build-22 -> build-23
+--------------------
+
+    * scsi commands set/get lamp control are send with a command length of
+      10 bytes instead of 6 bytes and control bit #7 is in byte 0x03
+      and not in byte 0x04 (it is described incorrect in the umax doc)
+
+    * enabled lamp control for Astra 2200
+
+    * removed umax.conf options lamp-off-at-exit and lamp-off-time
+
+    * added frontend option lamp-off-at-exit
+
+    * added frontend option lamp-on

+
+    
+build-23 -> build-24 (sane-1.0.4)
+--------------------
+
+    * forcing calibration_bytespp = 1 for Astra 2100S
+
+    * Added Astra 2100S as supported scanner
+
+    * enabled lamp control for Astra 2100S
+
+    * Added warning in sane_control_option if option could not be set
+ 
+    
+build-24 -> build-25
+--------------------
+
+   * dev->lamp_control_available is preset to 0
+
+   * dev is erased (0) after it is allocated
+
+   * added special options for PowerLook 3000:
+     - calibration is done for each CCD pixel
+     - calibration_bytespp is set to 1
+     the scanner still is not listed as supported scanner because
+     the changes are not tested
+
+   * added options that are read from umax.conf:
+
+     - execute-request-sense:
+       values: 0=disabled, 1=enabled, default=0
+       If set to 1 umax_do_request_sense is called in umax_do_calibration.
+       This can hang the system (but has been enabled until this version)
+
+     - scsi-buffer-size-min, scsi-buffer-size-max:
+       values: 4096-1048576, default min=65536, max=131072

+
+     - force-preview-bit-rgb:
+       values: 0=disabled, 1=enabled, default=0
+       set preview bit in rgb real scan
+
+     - slow-speed, care-about-smearing:
+       values: -1=auto, 0=disabled, 1=enabled, default=-1
+       dangerous options, needed for some scanners
+
+     - calibration-full-ccd:
+       values: -1=auto, 0=disabled, 1=enabled, default=-1
+       do calibration for each pixel of ccd instead of selected image
+
+     - calibration-width-offset:
+       values: -1=disabled, >=0 set value
+       add an offset width to the calculated with for image/ccd
+
+     - calibration-bytes-pixel:
+       values: -1=disabled, 0=not set, 1=1 byte/pixel, 2=x bytes/pixel
+       use # bytes per pixel for calibration
+
+     - invert-shading-data:
+       values: -1=auto, 0=disabled, 1=enabled, default=-1
+       invert shading data before sending it back to the scanner

+
+   * added pre focus options (PowerLook 3000):
+     - FP  - fix focus position
+     - FDC - lens calibration in doc position
+     - PF  - disable pre focus
+     - LCL - use 0.6/0.0mm holder focus position
+
+   * added #define SANE_I18N(text) text to umax.c. This is to mark the backend
+     specific texts that shall be translated by the frontend
+
+    
+build-25 -> build-26
+--------------------
+
+   * added umax.conf option handle-bad-sense-error #
+
+   * added Mirage II as supported scanner
+
+   * added routine umax_set_max_geometry that defines available surface
+     and resolution in dependance of scansource and double optical resolution
+     (before this bugfix the change of dor mode overwrote the settings of
+      scansource and vice versa)
+
+   * added ESCORT Galleria 600S as supported scanner, is an Astra 600S
+
+   * removed if (config_line[len - 1] == '\n')... while reading config file
+
+   * changed some static unsigned int to static int
+
+   * sane_exit does free devlist

+   * removed "#include <assert.h>" from umax.c, assert() is never called
+
+   * added UMAX Powerlook 3000 as supported scanner
+
+   * bugfix for 3 pass scanning:
+     reposition_scanner is called in sane_start for 2nd and 3rd pass of 3 pass scan
+
+
+   * bugfix for UTA and DOR geometry offsets:
+     - added inquiry_uta_x_off and inquiry_uta_y_off
+     - geometry ranges are defined from xoff..xoff+dx, yoff..yoff+dx now
+     - check_values also does test for this range
+     - removed dev->maxwidth and dev->maxlength, values are calculated in place now
+
+   * bugfix for DOR:
+     - bottom-right edge keeps in position if possible when DOR is switched on
+
+   * bugfix for Astra 600S and 610S color mode:
+     - scale_y is set to 0.5 if y_resolutions is smaller than optical_res/2
+     this does fix the color scan problems for Astra 610S.
+
+   * added Heidelberg Linoscan 1400 "HDM LS4H1S" as supported scanner
+
+    
+build-28 -> build-29
+--------------------
+
+   * removed bug in umax_set_max_geomentry: now left y keeps in position when possible
+
+   * rgb bind keeps unchanged when scanmode != color (only gray selection active in this case)
+
+   * in function static int umax_give_scanner(Umax_Device *dev) moved umax_reposition_scanner(dev);
+     to the end of the function
+
+   * set calibration area for astra 2200 to full ccd and calibration_bytespp to 2
+
+   * UC840 does wait in reposition_scanner until scan head stops moving
+
+   * set minimum resolution to 5 (was 1 before what could make problems)
+
+
+build-29 -> build-30
+--------------------
+
+  * added EDGE KTX-9600US as supported scanner
+
+  * Changing scansource does not change lower left selection edge
+    if not necessary
+
+
+build-30 -> build-31 (sane-1.0.6)
+---------------------------------
+
+  * sane-umax.man uses @LIBDIR@ and @CONFIGFIR@
+
+  * changed automatic calibration_width_offset marker from -1 to -99999
+
+  * changed
+      dev->calibration_area to 1 and
+      calibration_width_offset to -1 and
+      inquiry_max_calibration_data_lines to 66
+   for UMAX Supervista S-12, LinoHell Office and LinHell JADE
+
+
+build-31 -> build-32 (sane-1.0.7)
+---------------------------------
+
+  * added Nikon AX-110 as supported scanner (Vista S6E)
+
+  * added umax.conf option "gamma-lsb-padded" with options:
+    -1 = auto
+    0 = inactive (msb padded)
+    1 = active (lsb padded)
+    activated for astra 1220s, internal 12 bit gamma correction does work now
+
+
+build-32 -> build-33
+--------------------
+
+  * added USB support for Astra 2200
+    thanks to Frank Zago <fzago@greshamstorage.com>
+    for creating umax-usb.c and suggesting several changes to umax.c
+   
+  * added umax.conf option "connection-type", values: 1=scsi, 2=usb
+
+  * added umax.conf device selection "usb 0x1606 0x0230" (usb vendor_id product_id) 
+
+  * removed #ifdef HAVE_SANEI_IPC parts (SANEI_IPC was never defined)
+
+
+build-33 -> build-34 (sane-backends-1.0.8)
+--------------------
+
+  * removed bug in reader_process / umax_queue_read_image_data:
+    - the integer value that keeps the length information is kept valid
+      as long a queued scsi command is still running now
+    - when the scsi command returns with less data than requested
+      then the routine does handle this correct now
+      (before the routine handled this as if the requested amount of
+       data was returned)
+
+  * backend waits until scanhead has repositioned after scan for UMAX UC1260
+
+  * y_dpi quanitsation is set to 5 (same as x_dpi quantisation - was 1)

+
+
+build-35 -> build-36
+--------------------
+
+  * added PowerLook 2100XL as supported scanner
+
+  * settings for PowerLook 2100XL:
+    calibration_width_offest = 52
+    (calibration_bytespp = 2, default)
+    (calibration area = image, default)
+
+  * force_quality_calibration defined for PowerLook 2100XL:
+    (normal calibration mode expects different calibration_width_offsets
+     for PowerLook 2100XL, so it is not possible to calculate the correct
+     number of calibration pixels in normal calibration mode)
+    - disable quality calibration option for frontend
+    - always set quality calibration bit when scanning
+
+  * changes for exposure times:
+    - Inquiry does print correct maximum value now
+    - changed variable type from SANE_FIXED to SANE_INT
+    - exposure times setting for colormode does work correct now
+    - as default there is only one common setting for exposure times in rgb mode,
+      added umax.conf option exposure-time-rgb-bind to enable different settings
+      for each color
+    - added option select-calibration-exposure-time, disabled by default.
+      if disabled then the calibration expousre times are the same as the scan exposure times
+
+  * added UMAX PS-2400X as supported device
+
+  * added batch scanning support:
+    Options:
+    --batch-scan-start:		calibration, scan, scanhead is not moved into home position
+    --batch-scan-loop:		no calibration, scan, scanhead is not moved into home position
+    --batch-scan-end:		no calibration, scan, scanhead is moved into home position
+    --batch-next-tl-y:		defines the y start position of the bext batch scan
+
+    - calibration for batch scan needs a different offset and always is done for full ccd.
+      PowerLook 2100XL: calibration_width_offset_batch = 1052
+      Powerlook III:	calibration_width_offset_batch = 828
+
+
+build-36 -> build-37
+--------------------
+
+  * added Linotype Hell SAPHIR3 as supported scanner
+
+  * if batch-next-tl-y is not set then the backend uses br_y
+
+
+build-37 -> build-38 (sane-backends-1.0.9)
+--------------------
+
+  * added Power Look 2000 as supported scanner
+
+
+build-38 -> build-39 (sane-backends-1.0.10)
+--------------------
+
+  * Power Look 2000: corrected wrong calibration-width-offset from 52 to 22
+    and added calibration-width-offset-batch to 24
+
+  * initialized some global pointers and num_devices in sane_init
+
+  * replaced fork() by thread for OS2
+
+build-39 -> build-40 (sane-backends-1.0.12)
+--------------------
+
+  * UC630: dev->pause_after_reposition = 0
+
+
+build-40 -> build-41 (sane-backends-1.0.13)
+--------------------
+
+  * Astra 2200 SU via USB connection: quality calibration is reset and not selectable
+
+
+build-41 -> build-42
+--------------------
+
+  * replaced fork() routines by sanei_thread routines
+
+  * added call sanei_scsi_req_flush_all(); to do_cancel - in threaded case this is not done when reader_process is cancled
+
+  * in reader_process: marked freed scsi buffers as freed(NULL). This is necessary when reader_process is run as thread!
+
+  * Backend is compatible to Mac OS-X now.
+
+
+build-42 -> build-43
+--------------------
+
+  * DOR mode does test for non negative upper_left_x values, set to 0 if negative
+
+
+build-43 -> build-44
+--------------------
+
+  * the sense_hanlder stores the sense data in buffer[0] when valid sense data is avialable
+
+  * do_calibration:
+	- corrected bug in reading calibration width from scanner (added /bytespp)
+	- when additional request sense is not called then the buffer is not erased,
+	  the sense data from the sense_handler is used
+	- when additional request sense is called then the buffer is erased at first
+
+build-44 -> build-45
+--------------------
+
+   * added defualt options for Linotype Opal2
+   * changed bug in highlight-blue function (using green value)

+
+Q: I am using an Astra 2200 Scanner and can do a preview scan but the scanner
+   hangs or produces bad images when I start a final scan.
+
+A: Disable the option "quality calibration". This does not reduce the image
+   quality, the scanner reports it can do a quality calibration but that is
+   not true for the current firmware version.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: What scsi controller shall I use for UMAX scsi scanners?
+
+A: The controller cards that come with UMAX scanners are very simple ones
+   and I suggest not to use this cards.
+
+   I like the ncr53c8xx (=symbios-loigc53c8xx = lsi53c8xx) controllers because
+   they are not too expensive and I had very good results with these cards.
+   Especially the ncr53c810 is very interesting for scanning because this
+   are fast scsi controllers which allow long scsi cables.
+
+   The Adaptec 2904 controllers seem to make problems with UMAX scanners on
+   linux.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: I want to use the scsi-card that comes with my umax scanner.
+   What card is it and is it supported by my os?
+
+A: There are at least two kind of scsi controller cards that
+   come with UMAX scanners.
+
+ ISA-Card:
+   The ISA-cards that come with the umax scanners are very simple cards.
+   I suggest not to use these cards.
+
+   If you really want to try:
+   the UDS-IS11 ISA-card is a DTC3181E-card based on the NCR5380-chip.
+   On linux you may have the chance to get it work with the recent
+   g_NCR5380-driver. The card does not have IRQ/DMA.
+
+   Try the following option for kernel:  dtc3181e=0x280,255  
+   or use the following command:
+
+     insmod g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0x280 dtc3181e=1
+
+     - ncr_irq=255 : no IRQ, no DMA
+     - ncr_irq=254 : autoprobe IRQ
+     - ncr_addr    : can be: 0x220 0x240 0x280 0x2A0 0x2C0 0x300 0x320 0x340
+
+   (Thanks to Colin Brough and Hans Schaefer for that tip)
+
+
+ PCI-Card:
+   Some UMAX Scanners come with a PCI SCSI controller card DOMEX DMX3191E.
+   This card shall be compatible to the Advansys ABP940U (Chip: Advansys
+   ASC3030). The card shall work without problems with the Advansys SCSI
+   driver for linux.
+
+   (Thanks to Volker Ossenkopf for that tip)
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: I use linux with a NCR/Symbios logic SCSI-Controller, sane does not work
+   right.
+
+A: There are two differen drivers in the linux Kernel/modules.
+   Use the BSD-driver ncr53c8xx or sym53c8xx.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: I am using an AM53C974 based scsi card with a umax scanner, the system
+   freezes when I start a scan, what can I do?
+
+A: Try the recent driver for the scsi card, take a look at:
+   http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc390/index.html
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: Will there be a support for the UMAX-parallel-port-scanners?
+
+A: Since sane-1.0.5 there is a separate sane-umax-pp backend that does
+   support (some) umax parallel port scanners.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: Will there be a support for the UMAX-USB-scanners?
+
+A: UMAX published their SCSI-protocol for scanners. However they have not so far
+   published USB protocols. This seems to be because they are using an ASIC that
+   is produced by someone else and they had to subscribe an NDA.
+   Without the protocol documentation it really is hard to write a driver.
+   I will not work on a driver.
+
+   The Astra 2200W does work when connected via SCSI.
+   It could work with SCSI-via-USB-driver and connected via USB, but that
+   is not tested.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: I get a black area at the top of the image. What's wrong?
+
+A: This is a problem of some scsi-drivers.
+   Update the driver for your scsi-adapter or update the operating system/kernel.
+
+   For advansys-scsi-cards update to a new kernel which includes at least
+   the driver version 3.1E of the advansys-scsi-driver. Take a look at:
+   http://www.advansys.com/linux.htm
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: Does SANE and the umax backend work on LinuxPPC / big endian machine ?
+
+A: There are people using the sane-umax on a LinuxPPC (big endian) machine.
+
+   Other people write that they can not scan on a LinuxPPC. It looks like this
+   is a problem with the driver of the scsi card.
+
+   The "MESH" SCSI card is reported to work. The NCR53C94 SCSI card
+   seems not to work.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: SANE hangs or crashes when I start a frontend for sane, what can I do?
+
+A: Sometimes the backends that are not used make problems.
+   Edit /usr/(local)/etc/sane.d/dll.conf
+   and comment out everything but the backend you need.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q: compiling sane aborts with error "virtual memory exhausted"
+   on slackware linux with gcc. What goes wrong?
+
+A: The optimization set by "-O2" makes problems, try which one of the following
+   calls work:
+
+   make CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O1"
+   make CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O"
+   make CFLAGS="-g -Wall"
+

+TODO UMAX BACKEND FOR SANE
+==========================
+
+ * When depth>8 then it is necessary to create the gray gamma
+   table with the correct depth
+
+ * Astra 2200: enable option resolution bind for grayscale/lineart
+   it must be disabled and set "true" for color mode
+
+ * change set_window if (dev->do_color_ordering != 0) {..}
+   one of the settings makes an error for Astra 6X0S scanners
+
+ * include push-button function to SANE_START (?)
+
+ * add builtin halftone pattern selection
+
+ * add halftone pattern doenload, dimension selection
+
+
+ - I will NOT add support for parallel-port and USB scanners to this backend!
+   Don`t ask for it.
