Some of the available frontends can be found in -the separate package sane-frontends. For more information about frontends and -where to get them look at http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-frontends.html. - -Please note that the default configuration uses sane-dll as the top-level -backend. Hence it is probably a good idea to start with reading sane-dll(5). -The top-level backend is determined by the libsane.* symlinks in -/usr/local/lib/. - -For SCSI scanners reading of sane-scsi(5) is recommended. - -Please also read the file PROJECTS for projects that are planned or not yet -included into the SANE distribution. - -If you encounter any problems with getting your device(s) recognized, try -setting the various environment variables that are available to assist in -debugging such problems. The environment variables are documented in the -relevant manual pages. For example, to get the maximum amount of debug -information when testing a Mustek scanner, set environment variables -SANE_DEBUG_DLL, SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK, and SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI to 128 and then -invoke scanimage or whatever program you're trying to debug. For a Mustek -scanner at /dev/scanner, you might want to invoke scanimage as follows: - - scanimage -d mustek:/dev/scanner -h - -If this works, you could try to acquire an image with: - - scanimage -d mustek:/dev/scanner >t.pnm - -If you are not sure what generic SCSI device your scanner is connected to, try -the command sane-find-scanner. It is normally sufficient to invoke the -program without any arguments. Invoking this command should produce output -similar to this: - - $ sane-find-scanner - sane-find-scanner: found "MUSTEK MFC-06000CZ 1.01" at device /dev/scanner - sane-find-scanner: found "MUSTEK MFC-06000CZ 1.01" at device /dev/sge - -Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected to a SCSI -bus. It will even find scanners that are not supported at all by SANE. - -There may be several causes for the following messages from the frontends: -"scanimage: no SANE devices found" or "xscanimage: no devices available.". - - * Your scanner is not recognized by any backend. It is not supported. - You may ask the maintainer of your backend (see AUTHORS) or - sane-devel@mostang.com if support is planned. - - * SANE can't access the device files (e.g /dev/sga). Check the permissions. - - * Your backend is not listed in dll.conf (or commented out). +components, please refer to the manual page sane(7). The tools directory contains some small programs that may be helpfull. They are described in tools/README. -
