+.SH NAME
+sane\-nec \- SANE backend for NEC scanners
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-nec
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to NEC SCSI scanners. This backend should be
+considered
+.B alpha-quality
+software! In the current state it is known to work with PC-IN500/4C
+scanners. Another MultiReader scanner series is not supported. PC-IN
+500/4C and MultiReader scanner are only sold in Japan.(except Multi
+Reader PetiScan.)
+
+For other scanners, it may or may not work.
+.PP
+The backend has the following known problems:
+.RS
+\- ColorLineart mode is not supported.
+.br
+\- device name is fixed to /dev/scanner
+.RE

+At present,
+the following scanners are known to work with this backend.

+The backend configuration file.

+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
+support dynamic loading).
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_NEC
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
+environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g.,
+a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller
+levels reduce verbosity.
