This backend +should be considered +.B alpha-quality +software! TECO scanners are sold under +various brands like RELYSIS, PIOTECH, TRUST. This backend may or +may not support yours. +.PP +The scanners that should work with this backend are: + + Vendor Model TECO model status + --------------------------- ---------- ---------- + Relisys Scorpio VM3552 tested + Plustek OpticPro 2400SP VM3552 untested + PIOTECH Splendeur 3024 VM3552 tested + Trust Imagery 2400 SP VM3552 tested + Trust Imagery 4800 SP+ VM3552 tested + Trust Imagery 9600 SP VM3552 untested + +The TECO VM number can usually be found at the back of the +scanner. It is also part of the FCC ID. + +The options the backend supports can either be selected through +command line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI +elements in xscanimage or xsane. + +.br +If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, or if you have +any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer or to +the SANE mailing list. + +Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using +.RS +scanimage --help -d teco3 +.RE + +.TP +.B Scan Mode + +.TP +.B --mode +selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices are +.I Black & White +, +.I Grayscale +and +.I Color +The Black & White mode is black and white only (1 bit). Grayscale +will produce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color will produce a 24 bits +color image. + +.TP +.B --resolution +selects the resolution for a scan. The scanner can do all resolutions +between 1 and 1200, in increments of 1. + + +.TP +.B Geometry options + +.TP +.B -l -t -x -y +control the scan area: -l sets the top left x coordinate, -t the top +left y coordinate, -x selects the width and -y the height of the scan +area. All parameters are specified in millimeters by default. + + +.TP +.B Enhancement options + +.TP +.B --custom-gamma +(color mode only) allows the user to specify a gamma table (see the +next 3 parameters). + +.TP +.B --red-gamma-table +(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined +gamma table for the red channel. The table must be 1024 bytes long. + +.TP +.B --green-gamma-table +(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined +gamma table for the green channel. The table must be 1024 bytes long. + +.TP +.B --blue-gamma-table +(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma table +for the blue channel. The table must be 1024 bytes long. + + +.TP +.B --preview +requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 22 dpi +and the scan area is the maximum allowed. The scan mode is user +selected. The default is "no". + + +.SH CONFIGURATION FILE +The configuration file @CONFIGDIR@/teco3.conf supports only one information: the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner). + + +.SH FILES +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane-teco3.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I @LIBDIR@/libsane-teco3.so +The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that +support dynamic loading). + + +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_TECO3 +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g., +a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels +reduce verbosity. + + +.SH LIMITATIONS +The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE +backend. However they are only software adjustments.
