Specifically, the SCSI M309x and M409x series, the +SCSI fi\-series, most of the USB fi\-series, the USB ScanSnap S5xx/S15xx, and +the USB iX5xx series scanners are supported. Please see the list at +http://www.sane\-project.org/sane\-supported\-devices.html for details. + +This backend may support other Fujitsu scanners. The best +way to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly, +or to collect a trace of the windows driver in action. +Please contact the author for help or with test results. + +.SH UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE +The following scanners are known NOT to work with this backend, +either because they have a non\-fujitsu chipset, or an unsupported +interface type. Some of these scanners may be supported by another +backend. +.PP +.RS +.ft CR +.nf +\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- +SCSI: SERIAL: USB: +\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- +ScanStation M3093E/DE/EX fi\-4110EOX/2 +ScanPartner M3096EX fi\-4010CU +SP\-Jr M3097E+/DE S300/S300M +SP\-10/10C M3099A/EH/EX S1300/S1100 +SP\-15C/300C fi\-60F +SP\-600C/620C fi\-5015C +.fi +.ft R +.RE +.P + +.SH OPTIONS +Effort has been made to expose all hardware options, including: +.PP +source s +.RS +Selects the source for the scan. Options +may include "Flatbed", "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex". +.RE +.PP +mode m +.RS +Selects the mode for the scan. Options +may include "Lineart", "Halftone", "Gray", and "Color". +.RE +.PP +resolution, y\-resolution +.RS +Controls scan resolution. Setting \-\-resolution also sets \-\-y\-resolution, +though this behavior is overridden by some frontends. +.RE +.PP +tl\-x, tl\-y, br\-x, br\-y +.RS +Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are renamed +t, l, x, y by some frontends. +.RE +.PP +page\-width, page\-height +.RS +Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan +coordinates when using ADF and to detect double feed errors. +.RE +.PP +Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scanner: +machines with IPC or DTC will have additional enhancement options, those +with CMP will have compression options, those with a printer will have a +group of endorser options. + +Additionally, several 'software' options are exposed by the backend. These +are reimplementations of features provided natively by larger scanners, but +running on the host computer. This enables smaller machines to have similar +capabilities. Please note that these features are somewhat simplistic, and +may not perform as well as the native implementations. Note also that these +features all require that the driver cache the entire image in memory. This +will almost certainly result in a reduction of scanning speed. + +Use 'scanimage \-\-help' to get a list, but be aware that some options may +be settable only when another option has been set, and that advanced options +may be hidden by some frontend programs. +.PP +.SH CONFIGURATION FILE +The configuration file "fujitsu.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look +for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend. +This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list +of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the configuration +file is missing, the backend will be unable to locate any scanners. +.PP +Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 4 ways: +.PP +"scsi FUJITSU" +.RS +Requests backend to search all scsi busses in the system for a device +which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'FUJITSU'. +.RE +.PP +"scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file) +.RS +Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if you have +multiple compatible scanners connected to your system, and need to +specify one. Probably should not be used with the other "scsi" line above. +.RE +.PP +"usb 0x04c5 0x1042" (or other vendor/product ids) +.RS +Requests backend to search all usb busses in the system for a device +which uses that vendor and product id. The device will then be queried +to determine if it is a Fujitsu scanner. +.RE +.PP +"usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file) +.RS +Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This method is +untested. +.RE +.PP +The only configuration option supported is "buffer\-size=xxx", allowing you +to set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other than the +compiled\-in default, 65536 (64K). Some users report that their scanner will +"hang" mid\-page, or fail to transmit the image if the buffer is not large +enough. +.PP +Note: This option may appear multiple times in the configuration file. It only +applies to scanners discovered by 'scsi/usb' lines that follow this option. +.PP +Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some users +required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not recommended, +and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You have been +warned. +.PP + +.SH ENVIRONMENT +The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU, which +enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are: +.PP +.RS +5 Errors +.br +10 Function trace +.br +15 Function detail +.br +20 Option commands +.br +25 SCSI/USB trace +.br +30 SCSI/USB writes +.br +31 SCSI/USB reads +.br +35 Useless noise +.RE + +.SH KNOWN ISSUES +Flatbed units may fail to scan at maximum area, particularly at +high resolution. +.PP +Any model that does not support VPD during inquiry will not function until +an override is added to the backend. +.PP +CCITT Fax compression used by older scanners is not supported. +.PP +JPEG output is supported by the backend, but not by the SANE protocol, so is +disabled in this release. It can be enabled if you rebuild from source. + +.SH CREDITS +m3091 backend: Frederik Ramm <frederik a t remote d o t org> +.br +m3096g backend: Randolph Bentson <bentson a t holmsjoen d o t com> +.br + (with credit to the unnamed author of the coolscan driver) +.br +fujitsu backend, m3093, fi\-4340C, ipc, cmp, long\-time maintainer: +.br + Oliver Schirrmeister <oschirr a t abm d o t de> +.br +m3092: Mario Goppold <mgoppold a t tbzpariv d o t tcc\-chemnitz dot de> +.br +fi\-4220C and basic USB support: Ron Cemer <ron a t roncemer d o t com> +.br +fi\-4120, fi\-series color, backend re\-write, jpeg, current maintainer: + m. allan noah: <kitno455 a t gmail d o t com> + +JPEG output and low memory usage support funded by: + Archivista GmbH + www.archivista.ch + +Endorser support funded by: + O A S Oilfield Accounting Service Ltd + 1500, 840 \- 7th Avenue S.W. + Calgary, Alberta + T2P 3G2 Canada + 1\-403\-263\-2600 + www.oas.ca + +Automatic length detection support funded by: + Martin G.
