sane\-p5 \- SANE backend for the Primax PagePartner

|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B sane\-p5
|
|
|
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
|
|
|
|
|
provides access to the Primax PagePartner parallel port sheet fed scanner.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
This backend handles 100, 150, 200, 300 and 600 dpi scan resolutions,
|
|
|
|
|
in color and gray modes. The 600 dpi is actually 300x600 with lines
|
|
|
|
|
enlarged to match the vertical resolution.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
.B EPP/ECP MODES ONLY
|
|
|
|
|
The current version of the backend uses only EPP or ECP mode to communicate
|
|
|
|
|
with the scanner. It is
|
|
|
|
|
recommended that you set your parallel port to EPP in BIOS with the current
|
|
|
|
|
version of this backend. ECPEPP will only
|
|
|
|
|
work if you use a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel with ppdev character device support.

below).

.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_P5
|
|
|
|
|
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
a value of 255 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller
|
|
|
|
|
levels reduce verbosity.
