.SH NAME
sane\-teco2 \- SANE backend for TECO / RELISYS scanners
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B sane\-teco2
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
provides access to some TECO SCSI flatbed scanners. This backend
should be considered
.B beta-quality
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
software! TECO scanners are sold under
2003-10-22 21:39:49 +00:00
various brands like Mustek, Relisys, Piotech, Primax, TRUST.
This backend may or may not support yours.

For all these scanners, lineart and gray mode work
well. However, most of them do not support more than a handful of
resolutions in color mode. See the backend home page (under AUTHOR)
for the exact status of each scanner.
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
Note that the untested scanner will not be directly supported. You
should contact the author for that.
The TECO VM number can usually be found at the back of the
scanner. It is also part of the FCC ID.
The options the backend supports can either be selected through
command line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI
2003-10-22 21:39:49 +00:00
elements in xscanimage, xsane, quiteinsane or kooka.

If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, or if you have
any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer or to
the SANE mailing list.
Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using

The Lineart mode is black and white only (1 bit). Gray mode
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
will produce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color will produce a 24 bits
color image.

selects the resolution for a scan. The scanner can do all resolutions
between 1 and 600, in increments of 1.

Color
selects the resolution for a scan. The scanner can do only the
resolutions listed.
2004-08-04 16:29:39 +00:00
All values with ydpi > 300 (300 x 600) or 600 (600 x 1200) result in
a wrong proportion for the scan. The proportion can be adjusted with
2005-07-29 20:30:09 +00:00
the following imagemagick command:
convert \-geometry (dpi/max_xdpi * 100%)x100%
2004-08-04 16:29:39 +00:00
max_xdpi is for the vm3575 constant with 300 dpi
e.g. 600dpi adjust with: convert \-geometry 200%x100%

left y coordinate, \-x selects the width and \-y the height of the scan

area. All parameters are specified in millimeters by default.

next 3 parameters).
.TP
.B \-\-red\-gamma\-table

.B \-\-blue\-gamma\-table
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00

2004-08-04 16:29:39 +00:00
(VM3564, VM356A, VM3575 and VM6575 only) Selects what red radiance level should be
considered "white", when scanning some sheets by changing the calibration
value loaded into the scanner. Scale 0..64 in steps of 1.

value loaded into the scanner. Scale 0..64 in steps of 1.

.B \-\-white\-level\-b
2004-08-04 16:29:39 +00:00
(VM3564, VM356A, VM3575 and VM6575 only) Selects what blue radiance level should be
considered "white", when scanning some sheets by changing the calibration
value loaded into the scanner. Scale 0..64 in steps of 1.

.TP
.B \-\-preview
2004-08-04 16:29:39 +00:00
requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 50 dpi
(for VM356A and VM6575 75 dpi) and the scan area is the maximum allowed.
The scan mode is user selected. The default is "no".

.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file @CONFIGDIR@/teco2.conf supports only one
information: the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner).
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
.SH FILES
.TP
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-teco2.a
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
The static library implementing this backend.
.TP
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-teco2.so
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
support dynamic loading).
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B SANE_DEBUG_TECO2
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.
2003-04-24 03:17:16 +00:00
.TP
.B SANE_TECO2_CAL_ALGO
Either 0 or 1. Selects the algorithm for the calibration. A
2004-08-04 16:29:39 +00:00
value of 1 seems to give better scans on the VM356A, VM3575.
Feedback on it is welcome.
2005-07-29 20:30:09 +00:00
For VM3564, VM356A, VM3575, VM6575 default 1.
2003-10-22 21:39:49 +00:00
For other supported types default 0.
2002-08-31 15:49:16 +00:00
.SH LIMITATIONS
The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE
backend. However they are only software adjustments. This backend only
implements what the scanner can support.
.SH BUGS
Plenty. Parts of this backend are still under development.
