.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B sane-pixma
|
|
|
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
|
|
|
|
|
access to Canon PIXMA multi-function devices (All-in-one printers).
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, the following models work with this backend:

The following models are marked as experimental because they are not well
|
|
|
|
|
tested and/or the scanner sometimes hangs and must be switched off and on.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore they are disabled by default. (See PIXMA_EXPERIMENT below)

The device name is in the form
|
|
|
|
|
.BI pixma: xxxxyyyy_zzzzz
|
|
|
|
|
where x, y and z are vendor ID, product ID and serial number respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
Example: pixma:04A91709_123456 is a MP150.

This backend is in
|
|
|
|
|
.B alpha
|
|
|
|
|
stage and will stay in this stage until we get the programming manual
|
|
|
|
|
for the hardware. Although we have tested it as good as we could, it will
|
|
|
|
|
not work in every situations. You will find an up-to-date status at the
|
|
|
|
|
project homepage. (See below)

the verbosity.

.B PIXMA_EXPERIMENT
|

|
Setting to a non-zero value will enable the support for experimental models.
|
|
|
|
|
You should also set SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA to 10 and keep the last log file
|
|
|
|
|
somewhere for the case that the backend fails.
