NAME
sane-canon - SANE backend for Canon SCSI scanners DESCRIPTION
The sane-canon library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the following Canon flatbed and film scanners: CanoScan 300 CanoScan 600 CanoScan FB620S CanoScan FB1200S CanoScan FS2700F CanoScan FS2710S Parallel port and USB scanners are not supported by this backend; see the manual pages for sane-canon_pp and sane-canon630u for further information. IMPORTANT: This is beta code. We tested the code on the scanners listed above, using the computers and operating systems available to us, but we cannot guarantee that the backend will work smoothly with future operating systems, SCSI adapters, SANE frontend programs, or Canon scanners not contained in the list above. In some cases your computer might even hang. It cannot be excluded (although we consider it extremely unlikely) that your scanner will be damaged. That said, TESTERS ARE WELCOME. Send your bug reports and comments to Manuel Panea <mpd@rzg.mpg.de>; for questions concerning the FB620 and FB1200S contact Mitsuru Okaniwa <m-okaniwa@bea.hi-ho.ne.jp>, for the FS2710S Ulrich Deiters <ukd@xenon.pc.uni-koeln.de>. TIPS (FS2700F) Scanning either slides or negatives has been found to require rather large gamma corrections of about 2.2 to 2.4 (same value for red, green, and blue). It is recommended to use the automatic exposure controls of the frontend xsane for best results. The "Auto Focus" function triggers a special pass to determine the focus value. After that, the real scanning pass takes place. Even with "Auto Focus" turned on, the scanned image is often a bit too blurred. Using the GIMP to do a "Filter->Enhance->Sharpen" at about 40 to 60 improves the image considerably. TIPS (FS2710S) Gamma corrections are done not by the scanner, but by the backend. The scanner is always run in 12-bit mode. In "color" mode the image data are corrected for gamma, shadow point, etc., and then truncated to 8-bit intensities; the default gamma value is 2.0. In "raw" mode the image data are exported without corrections as 16-bit intensities; this mode can be recommended if extensive adjustments have to be made to a picture (and if the frontend can handle 16-bit intensities). Negatives are handled by simple color inversion and may require manual removal of blue discoloration. FILES

NAME
sane-sm3600 - SANE backend for Microtek scanners with M011 USB chip DESCRIPTION
The sane-sm3600 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to some Microtek scanners with the Toshiba M011 custom USB chip. This backend should be considered alpha. There are also backends for Microtek scanners with SCSI command set. Refer to sane-microtek(5) and sane-microtek2(5) for details. At present, the following scanners are known positively to work with this backend: Vendor Product id: Remark: -------- -------------- ----------- Microtek ScanMaker 3600 all modes ok Microtek ScanMaker 3700 reported to work Microtek ScanMaker 3750 reported to work If you own a Microtek scanner with the M011 chip other than the ones listed above, it may or may not work with SANE! FRONTEND OPTIONS
This backend dynamically enables the options for the frontend, that are supported by the scanner in dependence of the scanning-mode and other options. Not supported options are disabled. The following options are supported by the Microtek2-driver: Color, grayscale, halftone and lineart scans. contrast, brightness, control, gamma correction. DEVICE NAMES
This backend does not support device names in a standardized form. CONFIGURATION
This backend does not support a configuration file right now. FILES
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sm3600.a The static library implementing this backend. /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sm3600.so The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading). ENVIRONMENT
SANE_DEBUG_SM3600 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. To see error messages on stderr set SANE_DEBUG_SM3600 to 1. E.g. just say: export SANE_DEBUG_SM3600=5 SEE ALSO
