.SH NAME
|
|
|
|
|
sane-ibm \- SANE backend for IBM and Ricoh SCSI flatbed scanners
|
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B sane-ibm
|
|
|
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
|
|
|
|
|
access to the IBM 2456 and the Ricoh IS-410, IS-420, and IS-430 flatbed
|
|
|
|
|
scanners. Support for the IS-410 and IS-430 is untested. Please contact the
|

|
|
|
maintainer or the sane-devel mailing list if you own such a scanner.

.PP
|
|
|
|
|
This backend is alpha-quality. It may have bugs and some scanners haven't been
|
|
|
|
|
tested at all. Be careful and pull the plug if the scanner causes unusual
|
|
|
|
|
noise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
|
|
|
|
|
This backend expects device names of the form:
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
.RS
|
|
|
|
|
.I special
|
|
|
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Where
|
|
|
|
|
.I special
|
|
|
|
|
is either the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI
|
|
|
|
|
scanner. The program
|
|
|
|
|
.I sane-find-scanner
|
|
|
|
|
helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name could be
|
|
|
|
|
.I /dev/sg0
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.IR /dev/sga ,
|
|
|
|
|
for example. See
|
|
|
|
|
.BR sane-scsi (5)
|
|
|
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
|
The contents of the
|
|
|
|
|
.I ibm.conf
|
|
|
|
|
file is a list of device names that correspond to SCSI
|
|
|
|
|
scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
|
|
|
|
|
ignored. See
|
|
|
|
|
.BR sane-scsi (5)
|
|
|
|
|
on details of what constitutes a valid device name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.I @CONFIGDIR@/ibm.conf
|
|
|
|
|
The backend configuration file (see also description of
|
|
|
|
|
.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
|
|
|
|
|
below).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane-ibm.a
|
|
|
|
|
The static library implementing this backend.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane-ibm.so
|
|
|
|
|
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
|
|
|
|
|
support dynamic loading).
|
|
|
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B 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 configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
is searched in two default directories: first, the current working
|
|
|
|
|
directory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@. If the value of the
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
|
|
|
|
|
the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
|
|
|
|
|
directories. For example, setting
|
|
|
|
|
.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
|
|
|
|
|
to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
|
|
|
|
|
"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B SANE_DEBUG_IBM
|
|
|
|
|
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.
