-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
