NAME

       sane-ricoh - SANE backend for Ricoh flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION

       The sane-ricoh library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the following Ricoh flatbed scanners:

	      IS50
	      IS60

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/ricoh.conf
	      The backend configuration file (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

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

       /usr/lib/sane/libsane-ricoh.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_RICOH
	      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_RICOH=4
