NAME

       sane-pnm - SANE PNM image reader pseudo-backend

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-pnm  library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to PNM (Portable aNyMap files, which covers
       PBM bitmap files, PGM grayscale files, and PPM pixmap files).  The purpose of this backend is primarly to aid in debugging  of  SANE  fron-
       tends.  It also serves as an illustrative example of a minimal SANE backend.

DEVICE NAMES

       This backend provides two devices called 0 and 1.

CONFIGURATION

       No configuration required.

FILES

       /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pnm.a
	      The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pnm.so
	      The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT

       SANE_DEBUG_PNM
	      If  the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.  E.g.,
	      a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.  Smaller levels reduce verbosity.

BUGS

       If the pnm backend is installed and saned is used to allow users on remote computers to scan on the local machine, pnm files can be read by
       the  remote  user.  This is limited to the files saned can access (usually it's running as user "sane"). All pnm files can be read if saned
       runs as root which isn't recommended anyway. The pnm backend is disabled by default. If you want to use it, enable it with  configure  (see
       configure --help for details). Be sure that only trusted users can access the pnm backend over saned.

NAME

       sane-xerox_mfp - SANE backend for Xerox Phaser 3200MFP device

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-xerox_mfp  library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the following Xerox USB multifunc-
       tion-peripheral:

	      Phaser 3200MFP

       If you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with this backend, please let us know this by sending the scanner's  exact
       model  name  and  the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from /proc/bus/usb/devices, sane-find-scanner or syslog) to us. Even if the scanner's
       name is only slightly different from the models mentioned above, please let us know.

CONFIGURATION

       None required.

FILES

       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-xerox_mfp.a
	      The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-xerox_mfp.so
	      The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT

       SANE_DEBUG_XEROX_MFP If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug  level  for  this
       backend.  Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.

       Example: export SANE_DEBUG_XEROX_MFP=4
