+# Introduction
+
+The purpose of logs, is to gather information about options of different scanners.
+
+# How to use it
+
+If you would like to check minimum and maximum values of the `brightness`, you could type:
+```
+ $ cd data/descriptors
+ $ git grep name=\'brightness\'
+```
+The output of this command will be for example:
+```
+Canon_LiDE_220.log:[+5,91s] DEBUG: scanner.vala:735: Option 24: name='brightness' title='Brightness' type=int size=4 min=-100, max=100, quant=1 cap=soft-select,soft-detect
+Epson_NX300.log:[+58,31s] DEBUG: Option 6: name='brightness' title='Brightness' type=int size=4 min=0, max=0, quant=0 cap=soft-select,soft-detect,inactive
+Hewlett-Packard_Officejet_4630_series.log:[+10,75s] DEBUG: scanner.vala:742: Option 6: name='brightness' title='Brightness' type=int size=4 min=0, max=2000, quant=0 cap=soft-select,soft-detect,advanced
+````
+
+The first word is the file name (eg. `Canon_LiDE_220.log`), which corresponding to Scanner/Printer model.
+You could notice that for `Canon_LiDE_220` the `brightness` range is `-100,100`,
+for `Epson_NX300` it is `0,0`, as the descriptor is inactive and for `HP_4630` the range is `0,2000`.
+

+
+ $ simple-scan --debug

+1. Press scan button
