.SH NAME
sane\-pixma \- SANE backend for Canon Multi-Function Printers and CanoScan Scanners
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B sane\-pixma
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
access to Canon PIXMA / i-SENSYS / imageCLASS / imageRUNNER multi-function
devices (All-in-one printers) and the Canon CanoScan Flatbed/TPU scanners.
The backend implements both the USB interface and network interface
(using Canon's BJNP and MFNP protocols). The network interface supports scanners
over IPv4 as well as IPv6 (MFNP over IPv6 is untested).
.PP
Currently, the following models work with this backend:

The following models may use partly the same Pixma protocol as other devices
listed above, but may still need some work. They are declared in the backend
as experimental and need the environment variable PIXMA_EXPERIMENT=1 to get
recognized and activated. Snoop logs are required to further investigate,
please contact the sane\-devel mailing list.

This backend, based on cloning original Canon drivers protocols, is in
a production stage. Designed has been carried out without any applicable
manufacturer documentation, probably never available. However, we have tested
it as well as we could, but it may not work in all situations. You will find
an up-to-date status at the project homepage. (See below).
Users feedback is essential to help improve features and performances.
.SH OPTIONS
Besides "well-known" options (e.g. resolution, mode etc.) pixma backend also
provides the following options, i.e. the options might change in the future.
.br
The button status can be polled i.e. with 'scanimage \-A'.
.br
Button scan is disabled on MAC OS X due to darwin libusb not handling
timeouts in usb interrupt reads, but may work when using the network protocol.
.TP
.I adf\-wait
This option enables and sets the time in seconds waiting for a document
inserted into the
.BR Automatic
.BR Document
.BR Feeder .
The maximum allowed waiting time is 3600 sec (= 1 hour).
.TP
.I button\-controlled
This option can be used by applications (like
.BR scanadf (1)
and
.BR scanimage (1))
in batch mode, for example when you want to scan many photos or
multiple-page documents. If it is enabled (i.e. is set to true or yes), the
backend waits before every scan until the user presses the "SCAN" button
(for MP150) or the color-scan button (for other models). Just put the
first page in the scanner, press the button, then the next page, press
the button and so on. When you finished, press the gray-scan button. (For
MP150 you have to stop the frontend by pressing Ctrl-C for example.)
.TP
.I button\-update (deprecated)
(write only) In the past this option was required to be set to force
reading of the button status for
.I button\-1
and
.I button\-2.
The
.B sane\-pixma
no longer requires this option to be used: if no fresh data is available, it
will be now requested automatically from the scanner. This option is left for
backward compatibility reasons.
.TP
.I button\-1 button\-2
(read only) These options will return the value of the respective buttons.
value 0 means that the button was not pressed, 1 is returned when the button
was pressed. Some scanners with more than two buttons send the button number
as target.
.TP
.I original
(read only) Returns the value of the type or size of original to be scanned
if the scanner provides that data. Known values of type: 1 = document, 2 = foto,
5 = film. Known values of size: 1 = A4, 2 = Letter, 8 = 10x15, 9 = 13x18, b = auto.
Not all scanners can provide this data.
.TP
.I target
(read only) Returns the value of the target of the scan operation if the scanner
provides that data. The values depend on the scanner type. Known values:
1 = save to disk, 2 = save to pdf, 3 = send to email, 4 = send to application
or 1 = JPEG, 2 = TIFF, 3 = PDF, 4 = Compact PDF. For some scanners this value
is equivalent to the number of the pressed button. Not all scanners can provide
this data.
.TP
.I scan-resolution
(read only) Returns the resolution of the scan operation if the scanner
provides that data. Known values: 1 = 75 dpi, 2 = 150 dpi, 3 = 300 dpi,
4 = 600 dpi. Not all scanners can provide this data.
.SH FILES
.TP
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-pixma.a
The static library implementing this backend.
.TP
.I @LIBDIR@/libsane\-pixma.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
support dynamic loading).
.TP
.I @CONFIGDIR@/pixma.conf
The backend configuration file (see also description of
.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
below). The file contains an optional list of networked scanners. Normally
only scanners that cannot be auto-detected because they are on a different
subnet shall be listed here. If your OS does not allow enumeration of
interfaces (i.e. it does not support the getifaddrs() function) you also may need
to add your scanner here as well.
.RS
.PP
.I Scanners shall be listed in the configuration file as follows:
.PP
.RS
.I <method>://<host>[:port][/timeout=<value>]
.RE
.PP
where method indicates the protocol used (bjnp is used for inkjet multi-functionals
and mfnp is used for laser multi-functionals).
.PP
host is the hostname or IP address of the scanner, e.g. bjnp://10.0.1.4
for IPv4, bjnp://[2001:888:118e:18e2:21e:8fff:fe36:b64a] for a literal
IPv6-address or bjnp://myscanner.mydomain.org for a hostname.
.PP
The port number is optional and in normally implied by the method.
Port 8610 is the standard port for mfnp, 8612 for bjnp.
.PP
A scanner specific timeout value for the network protocol can be set using the
bjnp-timeout parameter. The value is in ms.
.PP
Define scanners each on a new line.
.PP
More globally applicable timeouts can be set using the bjnp-timeout parameter as follows:
.PP
.RS
.I bjnp-timeout=<value>
.RE
.PP
A timeout defined using bjnp-timeout will apply to the following scanner definitions
in the file. If required the bjnp-timeout setting
can be defined multiple times, where each settng will apply only to the scanners that
follow the setting. The last setting is used for the auto discovered scanners.
If not explicitly set, the default 1000ms setting will apply.
.PP
Setting timeouts should only be required in exceptional cases.
.PP
.SH USB SUPPORT
USB scanners will be auto-detected and require no configuration.
.SH NETWORKING SUPPORT
The pixma backend supports network scanners using the so called Canon BJNP
protocol and MFNP protocol. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, but IPv6 is as
yet untested with MFNP. Please report your results on the mailing list.
.PP
Configuration is normally not required.
The pixma backend will auto-detect your scanner if it is within
the same subnet as your computer if your OS does support this.
.PP
If your scanner can not be auto-detected, you can add it to the pixma
configuration file (see above).
.SH FIREWALLING FOR NETWORKED SCANNERS
The sane pixma backend communicates with port 8610 for MFNP or port 8612
for BJNP on the scanner. So
you will have to allow outgoing traffic TO port 8610 or 8612 on the
common subnet for scanning.
.PP
Scanner detection is slightly more complicated. The pixma backend sends
a broadcast on all direct connected subnets it can find (provided your OS
allows for enumeration of all netowrk interfaces). The broadcast is sent FROM
port 8612 TO port 8610 or 8612 on the broadcast address of each interface.
The outgoing packets will be allowed by the rule described above.
.PP
Responses from the scanner are sent back to the computer TO port 8612.
Connection tracking however does not see a match as the response does not come
from the broadcast address but from the scanners own address.
For automatic detection of your scanner, you will therefore have to allow
incoming packets TO port 8612 on your computer. This applies to both MFNP and
BJNP.
.PP
So in short: open the firewall for all traffic from your computer to port
8610 (for MFNP) or 8612 (for BJNP)
AND to port 8612 (for both BJNP and MFNP) to your computer.
.PP
With the firewall rules above there is no need to add the scanner to the
pixma.conf file, unless the scanner is on a network that is not directly
connected to your computer.
.SH ENVIRONMENT

.RE
.TP
.B PIXMA_EXPERIMENT
Setting to a non-zero value will enable the support for experimental models.
You should also set SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA to 11.
.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).
