sane-umax1220u(5) SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-umax1220u(5) NAME
sane-umax1220u - SANE backend for the UMAX Astra 1220U and similar scanners DESCRIPTION
The sane-umax1220 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend for the the UMAX Astra 1220U and similar scanners. For more information on this backend, please visit http://umax1220u-sane.sourceforge.net/. UMAX ASTRA 1600U/2000U/2100U SUPPORT This backend is also able to drive the UMAX Astra 1600U/2000U/2100U. The 2100U is confirmed to work. For the other scanners no reports have been received yet. Please contact us and tell us if your scanner works (sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org). CONFIGURATION
Usually, no manual configuration is necessary. The configuration file for this backend resides in /etc/sane.d/umax1220u.conf. Its contents is a list of device names that correspond to UMAX Astra scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below: #usb vendor product usb 0x1606 0x0010 # Device list for non-linux systems /dev/scanner /dev/usb/scanner0 See sane-usb(5) for information on how to set the access permissions on the usb device files. FILES
The backend configuration file: /etc/sane.d/umax1220u.conf The static library implementing this backend: /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-umax1220u.a The shared library implementing this backend: /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-umax1220u.so (present on systems that support dynamic loading) ENVIRONMENT
SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U 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: SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U values Number Remark 1 print failures 2 print information 3 print high-level function calls 4 print high-level function checkpoints 9 print mid-level function calls 10 print mid-level function checkpoints 80 print protocol-level function entry 90 print protocol-level function exit Example: export SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U=10 KNOWN BUGS
600 dpi scanning may fail for large image sizes. If you keep getting I/O errors, try cycling the power on your scanner to reset it. There is no way to cancel a scan, since the driver ignores sane_cancel(). If you try scanning an image which is too small, you will get I/O errors. Be sure to adjust the scan area before doing a scan, since by default, the scan area is zero. SEE ALSO

This backend isn't actively maintained. Nevertheless, bug reports and comments should be sent to the sane-devel mailing list. When report- ing bugs, please run the backend with SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U set to 10 and attach a copy of the log messages. 14 Jul 2008 sane-umax1220u(5)

sane-umax1220u - SANE backend for the UMAX Astra 1220U scanner DESCRIPTION
The sane-umax1220 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend for the the UMAX Astra 1220U scanner. For the latest information on this backend, please visit http://umax1220u-sane.sourceforge.net/. UMAX ASTRA 2000U EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT This backend may also be able to drive the UMAX Astra 2000U. Some people are successful with it, others report that the colors come out terrible. Your milage may vary. From Stephane (the author of sane-umax_pp), I learned that there are differences in the way the color calibration is performed on the 1220U and the 2000U and it may account for the problem. Stephane's backend support the 2000P, the parallel port sibling to the 2000U. It may be possible to use ideas and code from Stephane's backend to add complete support for the 2000U to this backend. Since I do not have access to an Astra 2000U, I do not plan to work on this -- any volunteers? CONFIGURATION
