.SH DESCRIPTION
.B scanimage
is a command-line interface to control image acquisition devices such
as flatbed scanners or cameras. The device is controlled via
command-line options. After command-line processing,
.B scanimage
normally proceeds to acquire an image. The image data is written to
standard output in one of the PNM (portable aNyMaP) formats (PBM for
black-and-white images, PGM for grayscale images, and PPM for color
2000-08-12 15:11:46 +00:00
images) or in TIFF (black-and-white, grayscale or color).
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
.B scanimage
accesses image acquisition devices through the
.B SANE
(Scanner Access Now Easy) interface and can thus support any device for which
there exists a
.B SANE
backend (try
.B apropos
.I sane-
to get a list of available backends).
2003-04-16 09:12:23 +00:00
.SH EXAMPLES
To get a list of devices:
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
scanimage -L
2003-04-16 09:12:23 +00:00
To scan with default settings to the file image.pnm:
scanimage >image.pnm
To scan 100x100 mm to the file image.tiff (-x and -y may not be available with
all devices):
scanimage -x 100 -y 100 --format=tiff >image.tiff
2003-04-16 09:12:23 +00:00
To print all available options:
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
scanimage -h
2003-04-16 09:12:23 +00:00
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
.SH OPTIONS
Parameters are separated by a blank from single-character options (e.g.
-d epson) and by a "=" from multi-character options (e.g. --device-name=epson).

2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00

or
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --device-name
options must be followed by a
.B SANE
device-name like
.RI ` epson:/dev/sg0 '
or
.RI ` hp:/dev/usbscanner0 '.
A (partial) list of available devices can be obtained with the
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --list-devices
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
option (see below). If no device-name is specified explicitly,
.B scanimage
2000-08-12 15:11:46 +00:00
reads a device-name from the environment variable
.BR SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE .
If this variable is not set,
.B scanimage
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
will attempt to open the first available device.

.B --format
2000-08-12 15:11:46 +00:00
.I format
option selects how image data is written to standard output.
2000-08-12 15:11:46 +00:00
.I format
can be
.B pnm
or
.BR tiff.
If
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --format
2000-08-12 15:11:46 +00:00
is not used, PNM is written.

2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --icc-profile
option is used to include an ICC profile into a TIFF file.

The
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00

2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --list-devices
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
option requests a (partial) list of devices that are available. The
list is not complete since some devices may be available, but are not
listed in any of the configuration files (which are typically stored
in directory
.IR @CONFIGDIR@ ).
This is particularly the case when accessing scanners through the network. If
a device is not listed in a configuration file, the only way to access it is
by its full device name. You may need to consult your system administrator to
find out the names of such devices.

.PP
The

.B -f
or
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --formatted-device-list
option works similar to
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.BR --list-devices ,
but requires a format string.
.B scanimage
replaces the placeholders
.B %d %v %m %t %i
with the device name, vendor name, model name, scanner type and an index
number respectively. The command

The
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --batch*
options provide the features for scanning documents using document
feeders.
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.BR --batch
.RI [ format ]
is used to specify the format of the filename that each page will be written
to. Each page is written out to a single file. If
.I format
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
is not specified, the default of out%d.pnm (or out%d.tif for --format tiff)
will be used.
.I format
is given as a printf style string with one integer parameter.
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --batch-start
.I start
selects the page number to start naming files with. If this option is not
given, the counter will start at 0.
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --batch-count
.I count
specifies the number of pages to attempt to scan. If not given,
scanimage will continue scanning until the scanner returns a state
other than OK. Not all scanners with document feeders signal when the
ADF is empty, use this command to work around them.
With
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --batch-increment
.I increment
you can change the amount that the number in the filename is incremented
by. Generally this is used when you are scanning double-sided documents
on a single-sided document feeder. A specific command is provided to
aid this:
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --batch-double
will automatically set the increment to 2.
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --batch-prompt
will ask for pressing RETURN before scanning a page. This can be used for
scanning multiple pages without an automatic document feeder.
.PP
The
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --accept-md5-only
option only accepts user authorization requests that support MD5 security. The
.B SANE
network daemon
.RB ( saned )
is capable of doing such requests. See
.BR saned (8).

2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --progress
option requests that
.B scanimage
prints a progress counter. It shows how much image data of the current image has
already been received by
.B scanimage
(in percent).
.PP
The
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B -n
or

.B --dont-scan
option requests that
.B scanimage
only sets the options provided by the user but doesn't actually perform a
scan. This option can be used to e.g. turn off the scanner's lamp (if
supported by the backend).
.PP

.B --test
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
option requests that
.B scanimage
performs a few simple sanity tests to make sure the backend works as
defined by the
.B SANE
API (in particular the
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00

1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
option requests that
.B scanimage
prints the program and package name, the version number of
the
.B SANE
distribution that it came with and the version of the backend that it
loads. Usually that's the dll backend. If more information about the version
numbers of the backends are necessary, the
.B DEBUG
variable for the dll backend can be used. Example: SANE_DEBUG_DLL=3 scanimage
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
-L.
.PP
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
As you might imagine, much of the power of
.B scanimage
comes from the fact that it can control any
.B SANE
backend. Thus, the exact set of command-line options depends on the
capabilities of the selected device. To see the options for a device named
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00

invoke
.B scanimage
via a command-line of the form:

is best explained with a few examples:
-l 0..218mm [0]
.br
Top-left x position of scan area.
.PP
.RS
The description above shows that option
.B -l
expects an option value in the range from 0 to 218 mm. The
value in square brackets indicates that the current option value is 0
mm. Most backends provide similar geometry options for top-left y position (-t),
width (-x) and height of scan-area (-y).

2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00

accepts an argument that must be one of the strings
.BR Lineart ,

The value in the square bracket indicates that the option is currently
set to
.BR Gray .
For convenience, it is legal to abbreviate the string values as long as
they remain unique. Also, the case of the spelling doesn't matter. For
example, option setting
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --mode col
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00

The description above shows that option
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --custom-gamma
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
expects either no option value, a "yes" string, or a "no" string.
Specifying the option with no value is equivalent to specifying "yes".
The value in square-brackets indicates that the option is not
currently active. That is, attempting to set the option would result
in an error message. The set of available options typically depends
on the settings of other options. For example, the
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --custom-gamma
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00

been requested.
Note that the
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --help
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
option is processed only after all other options have been processed.
This makes it possible to see the option settings for a particular
mode by specifying the appropriate mode-options along
with the
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --help
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00

.B scanimage --help --mode
.I color
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00

The description above shows that option
2005-11-24 20:17:43 +00:00
.B --gamma-table
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
expects zero or more values in the range 0 to 255. For example, a
legal value for this option would be "3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12". Since
it's cumbersome to specify long vectors in this form, the same can be
expressed by the abbreviated form "[0]3-[9]12". What this means is
that the first vector element is set to 3, the 9-th element is set to
12 and the values in between are interpolated linearly. Of course, it
1999-08-09 18:06:01 +00:00
is possible to specify multiple such linear segments. For example,
"[0]3-[2]3-[6]7,[7]10-[9]6" is equivalent to "3,3,3,4,5,6,7,10,8,6".
The program
.B gamma4scanimage
can be used to generate such gamma tables (see
.BR gamma4scanimage (1)
for details).
