The device is controlled via +command-line options. After command-line processing, +.B scanadf +normally proceeds to acquire a series of images until the device returns +the +.B SANE_STATUS_NO_DOCS +status code. +.PP +The images are written to output files, specified by the +.B --output-file +option. These files are typically written in one of the PNM (portable aNyMaP) +formats (PBM for black-and-white images, PGM for grayscale images, +and PPM for color images). Several optional frame formats (SANE_FRAME_JPEG, +SANE_FRAME_G31D, SANE_FRAME_G32D, SANE_FRAME_G42D, and SANE_FRAME_TEXT) +are supported. In each case, the data is written out to the output file +as-is without a header. Unrecognized frame formats are handled in +the same way, although a warning message is printed in verbose mode. +.PP +Typically, the optional frame formats are used in conjunction with a scan +script (specified by the +.B --scanscript +option) which is invoked for each acquired image. The script is provided +with a series of environment variables which describe the parameters +and format of the image file. + +.B scanadf +accesses image acquisition devices through the SANE (Scanner Access +Now Easy) interface and can thus support any device for which there +exists a SANE backend (try "apropos sane\-" to get a list of available +backends). +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +The +.B -d +or +.B --device-name +options must be followed by a SANE device-name. 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 scanadf +will attempt to open the first available device. +.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 -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 @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 -v +or +.B --verbose +options increase the verbosity of the operation of +.B scanadf. +The option may be specified repeatedly, each time increasing the verbosity +level. + +The +.B -V +or +.B --version +option requests that +.B scanadf +print the program and package name, as well as the version number of +the SANE distribution that it came with. + +.PP +The +.B -o +or +.B --output-file +option specifies a format string used to generate the name of file to +write the image data to. You can use %d replacement in the output file +name; this will be replaced with the current page number. The default +format string is image-%04d. + +.PP +The +.B -N +or +.B --no-overwrite +option prevents +.B scanadf +from overwriting existing image files. + +.PP +The +.B -S +or +.B --scan-script +option specifies the name of script to run after each scanned image +is acquired. The script receives the name of the image output file +as its first and only command line argument. Additionally the scan +script can reference the following environment variables to get +information about the parameters of the image. + +.PP +.RS +.B SCAN_RES +- the image resolution (in DPI) +.br +.B SCAN_WIDTH +- the image width (in pixels) +.br +.B SCAN_HEIGHT +- the image height (in pixels) +.br +.B SCAN_DEPTH +- the image bit-depth (in bits) +.br +.B SCAN_FORMAT +- a string representing the image format (e.g. gray, g42d, text, etc) +.br +.B SCAN_FORMAT_ID +- the numeric image format identifier +.br +.RE + +.PP +If the +.B --scipt-wait +option is given, scanadf will wait until all scan-scripts have been finished before +exiting. That will be useful if scanadf is used in conjunction with tools to modify +the scanned images. + +.PP +The +.B -s +or +.B --start-count +option specifies the page number of first scanned image. + +.PP +The +.B -e +or +.B --end-count +option specifies the last page number to scan. Using this option, +you can request a specific number of pages to be scanned, rather than +scanning until there are no more images available. + +.PP +The +.B -r +or +.B --raw +option specifies that the raw image data be written to the output file +as-is without interpretation. This disables the writing of the PNM +header for basic frame types. This feature is usually used in +conjunction with the +.B --scan-script +option where the scan script uses the environment variables to +understand the format and parameters of the image and converts +the file to a more useful format. NOTE: With support for the +optional frame types and the default handling of unrecognized +frametypes, this option becomes less and less useful. + +As you might imagine, much of the power of +.B scanadf +comes from the fact that it can control any 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 scanadf +via a command-line of the form: +.PP +.RS +scanadf --help --device +.I dev +.RE +.PP +The documentation for the device-specific options printed by +.B --help +is explained in the manual page for +.B scanimage. + +.SH FILES +.TP +.I @CONFIGDIR@ +This directory holds various configuration files.

It allows +previewing and scanning invidual images and can be invoked either +directly from the command-line or through The GIMP image manipulation +program. In the former case, +.B xscanimage +acts as a stand-alone program that saves acquired images in a suitable +PNM format (PBM for black-and-white images, PGM for grayscale images, +and PPM for color images). In the latter case, the images are +directly passed to The GIMP for further processing. + +.B xscanimage +accesses image acquisition devices through the SANE (Scanner Access +Now Easy) interface. The list of available devices depends on +installed hardware and configuration. When invoked without an +explicit devicename argument, +.B xscanimage +presents a dialog listing of all known and available devices. If the +environment variable SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE is set to the devicename, the device +is preselected in the dialog. To access an available device that is not known +to the system, the devicename must be specified explicitly. The format of +devicename is backendname:devicefile (e.g. umax:/dev/sga). +.SH RUNNING UNDER THE GIMP +To run +.B xscanimage +under the +.BR gimp (1), +simply copy it to one of the +.BR gimp (1) +plug-ins directories. If you want to conserve disk-space, you can +create a symlink instead. For example, for gimp-1.0.x the command +.PP +ln -s @BINDIR@/xscanimage ~/.gimp/plug-ins/ +.PP +and for gimp-1.2.x the command +.PP +ln -s @BINDIR@/xscanimage ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins/ +.PP +adds a symlink for the +.B xscanimage +binary to the user's plug-ins directory. After creating this symlink, +.B xscanimage +will be queried by +.BR gimp (1) +the next time it's invoked. From then on, +.B xscanimage +can be invoked through "File->Acquire->Xscanimage->Device dialog..." menu entry. + +You'll also find that the "File->Acquire->Xscanimage" menu contains short-cuts +to the SANE devices that were available at the time +.B xscanimage +was queried. For example, the first PNM pseudo-device is typically +available as the short-cut "File->Acquire->Xscanimage->pnm:0". +Note that +.BR gimp (1) +caches these short-cuts in ~/.gimp/pluginrc. Thus, when the list of +available devices changes (e.g., a new scanner is installed), then it +is typically desirable to rebuild this cache. To do this, you can +either +.BR touch (1) +the +.B xscanimage +binary (e.g., "touch @BINDIR@/xscanimage") or delete the plug-ins cache +(e.g., "rm ~/.gimp/plug-ins"). Either way, invoking +.BR gimp (1) +afterwards will cause the pluginrc to be rebuilt. +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +If the +.B --version (-V) +option is given, +.B xscanimage +will output its version number. +.PP +The +.B --help (-h) +flag prints a short summary of options. +.PP +The +.B --display +flag selects the X11 display used to present the graphical user-interface +(see +.BR X (1) +for details). +.PP +The +.B --no-xshm +flag requests not to use shared memory images. Shared memory images +usually enhance performance but cause problems with some buggy X11 +servers. Unless your X11 server dies when running this program, there +is no need or advantage to specify this flag. +.PP +The +.B --sync +flag requests a synchronous connection with the X11 server. This is for +debugging purposes only. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE +The default device-name.
