The standardized interface makes +it possible to write just one driver for each scanner device instead of one +driver for each scanner and application. + +While +.B SANE +is primarily targeted at a UNIX environment, the standard has been carefully +designed to make it possible to implement the API on virtually any hardware or +operating system. +.PP +This manual page provides a summary of the information available about +.BR SANE . +.PP +If you have trouble getting your scanner detected, read the PROBLEMS section. + +.SH TERMINOLOGY + +An application that uses the +.B SANE +interface is called a +.B SANE frontend. +A driver that implements the +.B SANE +interface is called a +.B SANE backend. +A +.B meta backend +provides some means to manage one or more other backends. + + +.SH "SOFTWARE PACKAGES" +The package +.RB ` sane\-backends ' +contains a lot of backends, documentation (including the +.B SANE +standard), networking support, and the command line frontend +.RB ` scanimage '. +The frontends +.RB ` xscanimage "', `" xcam "', and `" scanadf ' +are included in the package +.RB ` sane\-frontends '. +Both packages can be downloaded from the +.B SANE +homepage +.RI ( http://www.sane\-project.org/ ). +Information about other frontends and backends can also be found on the +.B SANE +homepage. + +.SH "GENERAL INFORMATION" +The following sections provide short descriptions and links to more +information about several aspects of +.B SANE. +A name with a number in parenthesis (e.g. +.RB ` sane\-dll (5)') +points to a manual page. In this case +.RB ` "man 5 sane\-dll" ' +will display the page. Entries like +.RI ` @DOCDIR@/sane.tex ' +are references to text files that were copied to the +.B SANE +documentation directory +.RI ( @DOCDIR@/ ) +during installation.

It can take some time, however. You should have basic knowledge of C +and enough patience to work through the documentation and find out how your +scanner works. Appended is a list of some documents that help to write backends +and frontends. +.PP +The +.B SANE +standard defines the application programming interface (API) that is used to +communicate between frontends and backends. It can be found at +.I @DOCDIR@/sane.ps +(if latex is installed on your system) and on the +.B SANE +website: +.I http://www.sane\-project.org/html/ +(HTML), or +.I http://www.sane\-project.org/sane.ps +(Postscript). +.PP +There is some more information for programmers in +.IR @DOCDIR@/backend\-writing.txt . +Most of the internal +.B SANE +routines +.RB ( sanei ) +are documented using doxygen: +.IR http://www.sane\-project.org/sanei/ . +Before a new backend or frontend project is started, have a look at +.I @DOCDIR@/PROJECTS +for projects that are planned or not yet included into the +.B SANE +distribution and at our bug-tracking system: +.IR http://www.http://www.sane\-project.org/bugs.html . +.PP +There are some links on how to find out about the protocol of a scanner: +.IR http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/misc/develop.html . + +.PP +If you start writing a backend or frontend or any other part of +.BR SANE, +please contact the sane\-devel mailing list for coordination so the same work +isn't done twice. + +.SH "FILES" +.TP +.I @CONFIGDIR@/*.conf +The backend configuration files. +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-*.a +The static libraries implementing the backends. +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-*.so +The shared libraries implementing the backends (present on systems that +support dynamic loading). +.TP +.I @DOCDIR@/* +.B SANE +documentation: The standard, READMEs, text files for backends etc. + +.SH "PROBLEMS" +If your device isn't found but you know that it is supported, make +sure that it is detected by your operating system. For SCSI and USB scanners, +use the +.B sane\-find\-scanner +tool (see +.BR sane\-find\-scanner (1) +for details). It prints one line for each scanner it has detected and some +comments (#). If +.B sane\-find\-scanner +finds your scanner only as root but not as normal user, the permissions for +the device files are not adjusted correctly. If the scanner isn't found at all, +the operating system hasn't detected it and may need some help. Depending on +the type of your scanner, read +.BR sane\-usb (5) +or +.BR sane\-scsi (5). +If your scanner (or other device) is not connected over the SCSI bus or USB, +read the backend's manual page for details on how to set it up. +.PP + +Now your scanner is detected by the operating system but not by +.BR SANE ? +Try +.BR "scanimage \-L" . +If the scanner is not found, check that the backend's name is mentioned in +.IR @CONFIGDIR@/dll.conf . +Some backends are commented out by default. Remove the comment sign for your +backend in this case. Also some backends aren't compiled at all if one of their +prerequisites are missing. Examples include dc210, dc240, canon_pp, hpsj5s, +gphoto2, pint, qcam, v4l, net, sm3600, snapscan, pnm. If you need one of these +backends and they aren't available, read the build instructions in the +.B README +file and the individual manual pages of the backends. +.PP + +Another reason for not being detected by +.B scanimage \-L +may be a missing or wrong configuration in the backend's configuration +file. While +.B SANE +tries to automatically find most scanners, some can't be setup correctly +without the intervention of the administrator. Also on some operating systems +auto-detection may not work. Check the backend's manual page for details. +.PP +If your scanner is still not found, try +setting the various environment variables that are available to assist in +debugging. The environment variables are documented in the +relevant manual pages. For example, to get the maximum amount of debug +information when testing a Mustek SCSI scanner, set environment variables +.BR SANE_DEBUG_DLL ", " SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK ", and " SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI +to 128 and then invoke +.B scanimage +.B \-L . +The debug messages for the dll backend tell if the mustek backend was found +and loaded at all. The mustek messages explain what the mustek backend is +doing while the SCSI debugging shows the low level handling. If you can't find +out what's going on by checking the messages carefully, contact the sane\-devel +mailing list for help (see REPORTING BUGS below). +.PP +Now that your scanner is found by +.BR "scanimage \-L" , +try to do a scan: +.BR "scanimage >image.pnm" . +This command starts a scan for the default scanner with default settings. All +the available options are listed by running +.BR "scanimage \-\-help" . +If scanning aborts with an error message, turn on debugging as mentioned +above. Maybe the configuration file needs some tuning, e.g. to setup the path +to a firmware that is needed by some scanners. See the backend's manual page +for details. If you can't find out what's wrong, contact sane\-devel. +.PP +To check that the +.B SANE +libraries are installed correctly you can use the test backend, even if you +don't have a scanner or other +.B SANE +device: +.IP +.B scanimage \-d +.I test +.B \-T +.PP +You should get a list of PASSed tests. You can do the same with your backend +by changing "test" to your backend's name. +.PP +So now scanning with +.B scanimage +works and you want to use one of the graphical frontends like +.BR xsane , +.BR xscanimage ", or" +.B quiteinsane +but those frontends don't detect your scanner? One reason may be that you +installed two versions of +.BR SANE . +E.g. the version that was installed by your distribution in +.I /usr +and one you installed from source in +.IR /usr/local/ . +Make sure that only one version is installed. Another possible reason is, that +your system's dynamic loader can't find the +.B SANE +libraries. For Linux, make sure that +.I /etc/ld.so.conf +contains +.I /usr/local/lib +and does +.B not +contain +.IR /usr/local/lib/sane . +See also the documentation of the frontends. +.PP + +.SH "HOW CAN YOU HELP SANE" +We appreciate any help we can get.
