NAME

       sane-nec - SANE backend for NEC scanners

DESCRIPTION

       The sane-nec library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to NEC SCSI scanners.  This backend should be
       considered alpha-quality software!  In the current state it is known to work with PC-IN500/4C scanners. Another MultiReader scanner  series
       is not supported. PC-IN 500/4C and MultiReader scanner are only sold in Japan.(except Multi Reader PetiScan.)

       For other scanners, it may or may not work.

       The backend has the following known problems:
	      - ColorLineart mode is not supported.
	      - device name is fixed to /dev/scanner

       At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend.
	      Vendor Product id
	      ------ -----------
	      NEC    PC-IN500/4C

FILES

       /etc/sane.d/nec.conf
	      The backend configuration file.

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

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

ENVIRONMENT

       SANE_DEBUG_NEC
	      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.
