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 us 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 us. Even if the scanner's name is only slightly different from +the models mentioned above, please let us know. +.PP + +.SH CONFIGURATION +The contents of the +.I hp4200.conf +file is a list of usb lines containing vendor and product ids that correspond +to USB scanners. The file can also contain the names of device files that +correspond to an HP 4200 scanner. 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 hp4200.conf . +"vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify the +scanner. If autodetection does not work, add the device name of your scanner +to the configuration file, e.g. +.IR /dev/usb/scanner0 . +.PP + +.SH FILES +.TP +.I @CONFIGDIR@/hp4200.conf +The backend configuration file (see also description of +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +below). +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-hp4200.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-hp4200.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_HP4200 +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_HP4200=4 + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR sane (7), +.BR sane\-usb (5), +.br +.I http://hp4200\-backend.sourceforge.net/ + +.SH AUTHOR +Adrian Perez Jorge, Andrew John Lewis, Arnar Mar Hrafnkelsson, Frank Zago, +Henning Meier-Geinitz.
