At present, the following scanners +are supported from this backend: AGFA SnapScan 300, 310, 600, and 1236s, +1236u, 1212u, e20, e25, +e40, e50, e60, Vuego 310s, Acer 300f, 310s, 610s, 610plus, Prisa 620s, Prisa +620u, Prisa 620ut, Prisa 640u, Prisa 640bu, Prisa 1240, Prisa 3300, Prisa +4300, Prisa 5300 and Guillemot Maxi Scan A4 Deluxe (SCSI) (with +varying success). +.PP + +.SH "DEVICE NAMES" +This backend expects device names of the form: +.PP +.RS +.I special +.RE +.PP +Where +.I special +is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a +SCSI scanner. For SCSI +scanners, the special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a +symlink to such a device. Under Linux, such a device name could be +.I /dev/sga +or +.IR /dev/sge , +for example. See sane\-scsi(5) for details. +.P +For USB scanners the devicename must contain the keyword "usb", as in +.I /dev/usbscanner +or +.IR /dev/usb/scanner0 . +For scanners that need a firmware upload before scanning add a line starting +with "firmware" followed by the fully qualified path to your firmware file, +e.g. +.PP +.RS +firmware @DATADIR@/sane/snapscan/firmware.bin +.RE +.PP +For further details read http://snapscan.sourceforge.net. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +The contents of the +.I snapscan.conf +file is a list of device names that correspond to SnapScan +scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are +ignored. See sane\-scsi(5) on details of what constitutes a valid +device name. + +.SH FILES +.TP +.I @CONFIGDIR@/snapscan.conf +The backend configuration file (see also description of +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +below). +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-snapscan.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-snapscan.so +The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that +support dynamic loading). +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may +contain the configuration file. 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_SNAPSCAN +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g., +a value of 255 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller +levels reduce verbosity. + + +.SH BUGS +Man page doesn't provide much information yet. + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +sane(7), sane\-scsi(5) +.br +http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~charter/SnapScan/snapscan.html +.br +http://sourceforge.net/projects/snapscan/ (new development website) + +.SH AUTHOR +Kevin Charter, Franck Schneider, Michel Roelofs, Emmanuel Blot, +Mikko Tyolajarvi, David Mosberger-Tang, Wolfgang Goeller, +Petter Reinholdtsen, Gary Plewa, Sebastien Sable, Oliver Schwartz +and Mikael Magnusson. +.br +Man page by Henning Meier-Geinitz (mostly based on the web pages and +source code). -- cgit v1.2.3
