NAME

     uscanner -- minimal USB support for scanners

SYNOPSIS

     uscanner* at uhub?

DESCRIPTION

     The uscanner driver provides minimal support for USB scanners.  The driver recognizes a number of USB scanners, but to actually scan anything
     there needs to be software that knows about the particular scanner.  The SANE package provides support for some scanners.

HARDWARE

     The uscanner driver works with the following scanners:

   Epson
	   GT-7000
	   Perfection 610U
	   Perfection 636U
	   Perfection 1200U
	   Perfection 1200U Photo
	   Perfection 1260
	   Perfection 1660
	   Perfection 2400

   HP
	   ScanJet 4100C
	   ScanJet 5200C
	   ScanJet 6300C

     Many other scanners are recognized, but there is no software support for them yet.

HISTORY

     The uscanner driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6.

BUGS

     This driver should not really exist.  The scanners it recognizes can be accessed through the ugen(4) driver instead.  A proper scanner driver
     would provide a uniform interface to scanners instead of exposing the innards of the scanner.  The reason the driver exists is to have some-
     thing that is compatible with the Linux driver.
