NAME

       sane-niash - SANE backend for scanners based on the NIASH chipset.

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-niash implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to NIASH chipset based scanners. This backend will
       try to support the following models:

       MANUFACTURER:	MODEL:		USB ID:
       ---------------	----------------  ---------
       Agfa		Snapscan Touch	  06BD-0100 (1)(a)
       Trust		Office Scan 19200 047B-1000 (1)(a)
       Hewlett-Packard	Scanjet 3300c	  03F0-0205 (1)(a)(b)
       Hewlett-Packard	Scanjet 3400c	  03F0-0405 (2)(b)
       Hewlett-Packard	Scanjet 4300c	  03F0-0305 (2)(a)
       Silitek		ScanJet 4300c	  047B-1002 (2)(b)

       ASIC: (1) - NIASH00012/00013/00014 / (2) - NIASH00019
       ANALOG FRONT-END: (a) - ESIC ES8100QA / (b) - WM8143-12

CONFIGURATION

       The niash.conf file is meant for future configuration options.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.  Currently
       no configuration options exist.

FILES

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

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

CAVEATS

       If you use a
       Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 3400c or
       Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4300c
       together with Linux kernel 2.6, kernel version 2.6.8 or newer is necessary.

ENVIRONMENT

       SANE_DEBUG_NIASH
	      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_NIASH=255
