+.SH NAME
+sane\-plustek \- SANE backend for LM983[1/2/3] based
+USB flatbed scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-plustek
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on National Semiconductor
+Merlin chipsets (LM9831, 9832 and 9833).
+If you're looking for parallel-port support for Plustek scanner
+please refer to the
+.B sane\-plustek_pp
+backend.
+
+.SH "SUPPORTED DEVICES"
+The Backend is able to support USB scanner based on the National
+Semiconductor chipsets LM9831, LM9832 and LM9833. The following tables
+show various devices which are currently reported to work. If your
+Plustek scanner has another Product ID, then the device is
+.B NOT
+supported by this backend.

+.RS
+.I [usb] vendor-id product-id
+.br
+.I device /dev/usbscanner
+.RE
+.PP
+.I [usb]
+tells the backend, that the following devicename (here
+.IR /dev/usbscanner )
+has to be interpreted as USB scanner device. If vendor- and
+product-id has not been specified, the backend tries to
+detect this by its own. If device is set to
+.I auto
+then the next matching device is used.
+.br
+The following options can be used for a default setup of
+your device. Most of them are also available through
+the frontend.
+.PP

+You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded

+to check that you have access to your device.

+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I @CONFIGDIR@/plustek.conf
+The backend configuration file
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-plustek.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-plustek.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that

+
+.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_PLUSTEK
+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_PLUSTEK=10

+To obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the
+environment-variable
+.I SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK
+before calling your favorite scan-frontend (i.e. xscanimage).
+.br
+.B i.e.: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; xscanimage
+.PP
+The value controls the verbosity of the backend. Please note, that
+values greater than 24 force the backend to output raw data files,
+which could be rather large. The ending of these files is ".raw".
+For problem reports it should be enough the set the verbosity to
+13.
+
+.SH "KNOWN BUGS & RESTRICTIONS"
+
+.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-/CIS-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
+1200dpi steps.
+.PP
+* Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent. They
+sell technically different devices under the
+same product name. Therefore it is possible that some
+devices like the UT12 or U12 won't work \- please check
+the model list above and compare the product-id to
+the one your device has.
+.PP
+* Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
