sane-tamarack(5) SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-tamarack(5)
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
