See the backend home page (under AUTHOR) +for the exact status of each scanner. + +Note that the untested scanner will not be directly supported. You +should contact the author for that. + +The TECO VM number can usually be found at the back of the +scanner. It is also part of the FCC ID. + +The options the backend supports can either be selected through +command line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI +elements in xscanimage, xsane, quiteinsane or kooka. + +.br +If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, or if you have +any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer or to +the SANE mailing list. + +Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using +.RS +scanimage \-\-help \-d teco2 +.RE + +.TP +.B Scan Mode + +.TP +.B \-\-mode +selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices are +.I Lineart +, +.I Gray +and +.I Color +The Lineart mode is black and white only (1 bit).
