.SH NAME
|
|
sane-umax \- SANE backend for UMAX scanners
|
|
|
|
.SH ABOUT THIS FILE
|
|
|
|
This file only is a short descripton of the umax-backend for sane! For detailled information take a look at
|
|
sane-umax-doc.html (it is included in the sane source directory and in the xsane online help)!
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B sane-umax
|
|
library implements a SANE backend that provides acces to several UMAX-SCSI-scanners and some Linotye Hell SCSI-scanners,
|
|
parallel- and USB-scanners are not (and propably will never be) supported!
|
|
|
|
.B I suggest you hold one hand on the power-button of the scanner while you try the first scans!
|
|
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
The configuration file for this backend resides in
|
|
@CONFIGDIR@/umax.conf.
|
|
|
|
Its contents is a list of device names that correspond to UMAX and UMAX compatible scanners. Empty lines
|
|
and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is
|
|
shown below:

|
- execute-request-sense:
|
|
values:
|
|
0 = disabled
|
|
1 = enabled
|
|
default = 0
|
|
If set to 1 umax_do_request_sense is called in
|
|
umax_do_calibration. This can hang the system
|
|
(but has been enabled until this version)
|
|
|
|
- scsi-buffer-size-min, scsi-buffer-size-max:
|
|
values: 4096-1048576, default min=32768, max=131072
|
|
Especially the minimum value is very important.
|
|
If this value is set too small the backend is not
|
|
able to send gamma tables to the scanner or to
|
|
do a correct color calibration. This may result in
|
|
strange color effects. If the minimum value is set
|
|
too large then the backend is not able to allocate
|
|
the requested scsi buffer size and aborts with
|
|
out of memory error. The default is 32KB, for
|
|
some scanners it should be increased to 64KB.
|
|
|
|
- scan-lines, preview-lines:
|
|
values: 1-65535,
|
|
default: scan-lines=40, preview-lines=10
|
|
define the maximum number of lines that are scanned
|
|
into one buffer
|
|
|
|
- force-preview-bit-rgb:
|
|
values:
|
|
0 = disabled
|
|
1 = enabled
|
|
default = 0
|
|
set preview bit in rgb real scan
|
|
|
|
- slow-speed, care-about-smearing:
|
|
values:
|
|
-1 = auto
|
|
0 = disabled
|
|
1 = enabled
|
|
default = -1
|
|
dangerous options, needed for some scanners
|
|
do not changed these options until you really know
|
|
what you do, you may destroy your scanner when you
|
|
define wrong values for this options
|
|
|
|
- calibration-full-ccd:
|
|
values:
|
|
-1 = auto
|
|
0 = disabled
|
|
1 = enabled
|
|
default = -1
|
|
do calibration for each pixel of ccd instead of
|
|
selected image
|
|
|
|
- calibration-width-offset:
|
|
values: -99999=auto, >-99999 set value
|
|
add an offset width to the calculated with for
|
|
image/ccd
|
|
|
|
- calibration-bytes-pixel:
|
|
values:
|
|
-1 = disabled
|
|
0 = not set
|
|
1 = 1 byte/pixel,
|
|
2 = 2 bytes/pixel
|
|
use # bytes per pixel for calibration
|
|
|
|
- invert-shading-data:
|
|
values:
|
|
-1 = automatically set by driver - if known
|
|
0 = disabled
|
|
1 = enabled
|
|
default = -1
|
|
invert shading data before sending it back to the scanner
|
|
|
|
- lamp-control-available:
|
|
values:
|
|
0 = automatically set by driver - if known
|
|
1 = available
|
|
default = 0
|
|
|
|
- gamma-lsb-padded:
|
|
values:
|
|
-1 = automatically set by driver - if known
|
|
0 = gamma data is msb padded
|
|
1 = gamma data is lsb padded
|
|
default = -1
|
|
|
|
- handle-bad-sense-error:
|
|
values:
|
|
0 = handle as device busy
|
|
1 = handle as ok
|
|
2 = handle as i/o error
|
|
3 = ignore bad error code - continue sense handler,
|
|
default = 0
|
|
|
|
- scsi-maxqueue:
|
|
values:
|
|
1..# (maximum defined at compile time)
|
|
default = 2
|
|
most scsi drivers allow internal command queueing with a depth
|
|
of 2 commands. In most cases it does not mprove anything when you
|
|
increase this value. When your scsi driver does not support any
|
|
command queueing you can try to set this value to 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.
|
|
To find out to which device your scanner is assigned and how you have to set the
|
|
permissions of that device, have a look at sane-scsi.

.SH SCSI ADAPTER TIPS
|
|
|
|
The ISA-SCSI-adapters that are shipped with some Umax-scanners are not supported very
|
|
well by Linux (I suggest not to use it), the PCI-SCSI-adapters that come with some
|
|
Umax-scanners are not supported at all (as far as I know). On other platforms these
|
|
SCSI-adapters are not supported. So you typically need to purchase another SCSI-adapter
|
|
that is supported by your platform. See the relevant hardware FAQs and HOWTOs for your
|
|
platform for more information.
|
|
|
|
The UMAX-scanners do block the scsi-bus for a few seconds while scanning. It is not
|
|
necessary to connect the scanner to its own SCSI-adapter. But if you need short
|
|
response time for your SCSI-harddisk (e.g. if your computer is a file-server) or
|
|
other scsi devices, I suggest you use an own SCSI-adapter for your UMAX-scanner.
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems with your Umax scanner, check your scsi chain
|
|
(cable length, termination, ...).

.SH FILES

The backend configuration file:
|
|
@CONFIGDIR@/umax.conf
|
|
|
|
The static library implementing this backend:
|
|
@LIBDIR@/libsane-umax.a
|
|
|
|
The shared library implementing this backend :
|
|
@LIBDIR@/libsane-umax.so

|
(present on systems that support dynamic loading)

|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
.B SANE_DEBUG_UMAX
|
|
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:
