.SH NAME
sane-hpsj5s - SANE backend for HP ScanJet 5S sheetfed scanner
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B sane-hpsj5s
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
provides access to parallel port Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5S scaner.
.PP
IMPORTANT: this is alpha code. Don't expect this to work
correctly. Many functions are missing, others contain errors. In some
cases, your computer might even hang. It cannot be excluded (although
I consider it extremely unprobable) that your scanner will be
damaged.
.PP
LIMITATIONS: For now this backend works only at Linux+PC platform.This limitation
is due dependance on Linux loadable module. Will be fixed in future. Your system
should support
.B EPP
(or
.B EPP+ECP
) mode to operate this scaner. Future versions will support ECP and SPP
(Nibble and Byte) modes also. It's planned to support for scaners not only
at 0 daisy-chain position, but at any one. Support for multiple scaners could
be implemented too.
.PP
Current version implements only gray scale scaning. True Color and B/W modes are
not supported for now.

That said, TESTERS ARE WELCOME. Send your bug reports and comments to
Max Vorobiev <pcwizard@yandex.ru>.

.SH "DEVICE NAMES"
This backend expects device names of the form:
.PP
.RS
.I special
.RE
.PP
Where
.I special
is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to hpsj5s scaner driver.
The special device name must be a link to device file or device file of hpsj5s.
Under Linux, such a device name could be
.I /dev/hpsj5s
for example.
.SH CONFIGURATION
The contents of the
.I hpsj5s.conf
file is a list of device names that correspond to HP ScanJet 5S
scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
ignored. Only one device name can be listed in
.IR hpsj5s.conf
for this moment.
.SH TIPS
.PP
It seems that HP ScanJet 5S scaner uses software noise correction. This
feature is not implemented for now. So does gamma correction and calibration.
I'll handle it in future versions.
Native resolution for this scaner is 300 DPI. Other modes could be jagged in some
ways.
.PP
.SH FILES
.TP
.I @CONFIGDIR@/hpsj5s.conf
The backend configuration file (see also description of
.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
below).
.TP
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane-hpsj5s.a
The static library implementing this backend.
.TP
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane-hpsj5s.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).
