NAME

       sane-tamarack - SANE backend for Tamarack flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-tamarack library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the following Tamarack flatbed scan-
       ners:

	      Artiscan 6000C
	      Artiscan 8000C
	      Artiscan 12000C

DEVICE NAMES

       This backend expects device names of the form:

	      special

       Where special is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI scanner. The special device name must be  a  generic  SCSI
       device  or a symlink to such a device.  The program sane-find-scanner helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name
       could be /dev/sga or /dev/sge, for example.  See sane-scsi(5) for details.

FILES

       /etc/sane.d/tamarack.conf
	      The backend configuration file (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

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

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

ENVIRONMENT

       SANE_CONFIG_DIR
	      This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may contain the configuration file.  Under  UNIX,  the  directories
	      are  separated  by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configura-
	      tion file is searched in two default directories: first, the current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d.  If the  value
	      of the environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then the default directories are searched after the explic-
	      itly specified directories.  For example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories  "tmp/config",  ".",
	      and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).

       SANE_DEBUG_TAMARACK
	      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_TAMARACK=4
