The 600 dpi is actually 300x600 with lines +enlarged to match the vertical resolution. +.PP +.B EPP/ECP MODES ONLY +The current version of the backend uses only EPP or ECP mode to communicate +with the scanner. It is +recommended that you set your parallel port to EPP in BIOS with the current +version of this backend.

Under UNIX, the directories are +separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a +semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the configuration file +is searched in two default directories: first, the current working +directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@. If the value of the +environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then +the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified +directories. For example, setting +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and +"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order). +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_P5 +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
