We tested the code on the scanners listed +above, using the computers and operating systems available to us, but we +cannot guarantee that the backend will work smoothly with future operating +systems, SCSI adapters, SANE frontend programs, or Canon scanners not +contained in the list above. In some cases your computer might even hang. +It cannot be excluded (although we consider it extremely unlikely) that your +scanner will be damaged. +.PP +That said, TESTERS ARE WELCOME. Send your bug reports and comments to +Manuel Panea ; for questions concerning the FB620 and +FB1200S contact Mitsuru Okaniwa , for the +FS2710S Ulrich Deiters . +.PP + +.SH TIPS (FS2700F) +.PP +Scanning either slides or negatives has been found to require rather +large gamma corrections of about 2.2 to 2.4 (same value for red, green, +and blue). It is recommended to use the automatic exposure controls +of the frontend xsane for best results. +.PP +The "Auto Focus" function triggers a special pass to determine the focus +value. After that, the real scanning pass takes place. +.PP +Even with "Auto Focus" turned on, the scanned image is often a bit too +blurred. Using the GIMP to do a "Filter->Enhance->Sharpen" at about 40 +to 60 improves the image considerably. +.PP + +.SH TIPS (FS2710S) +.PP +Gamma corrections are done not by the scanner, but by the backend. +The scanner is always run in 12-bit mode. In "color" mode the image +data are corrected for gamma, shadow point, etc., and then truncated +to 8-bit intensities; the default gamma value is 2.0. In "raw" mode the +image data are exported without corrections as 16-bit intensities; this +mode can be recommended if extensive adjustments have to be made to a +picture (and if the frontend can handle 16-bit intensities). +.PP +Negatives are handled by simple color inversion and may require manual +removal of blue discoloration. +.PP +.SH FILES +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-canon.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-canon.so +The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that +support dynamic loading). +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_CANON +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
