.SH NAME
|
|
sane\-canon_dr \- SANE backend for Canon DR-series scanners
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B sane\-canon_dr
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which
|
|
provides access to some Canon DR-series scanners.
|
|
|
|
This document describes backend version 26, which shipped with SANE 1.0.20.
|
|
|
|
.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
|
This version has only been tested with a few scanner models. Please see
|
|
http://www.sane\-project.org/sane\-supported\-devices.html for a more recent
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
This backend may support other Canon scanners. The best
|
|
way to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly,
|
|
or to collect a trace of the windows driver in action.
|
|
Please contact the author for help or with test results.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
Effort has been made to expose most hardware options, including:
|
|
.PP
|
|
source s
|
|
.RS
|
|
Selects the source for the scan. Options
|
|
may include "Flatbed", "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex".
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
mode m
|
|
.RS
|
|
Selects the mode for the scan. Options
|
|
may include "Lineart", "Halftone", "Gray", and "Color".
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
resolution, y\-resolution
|
|
.RS
|
|
Controls scan resolution. Setting \-\-resolution also sets \-\-y\-resolution,
|
|
though this behavior is overridden by some frontends.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
tl\-x, tl\-y, br\-x, br\-y
|
|
.RS
|
|
Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are renamed
|
|
t, l, x, y by some frontends.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
page\-width, page\-height
|
|
.RS
|
|
Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan
|
|
coordinates when using ADF and to detect double feed errors.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scanner:
|
|
enhancement, compression, buttons and sensors, etc.
|
|
|
|
Use 'scanimage \-\-help' to get a list, but be aware that some options may
|
|
be settable only when another option has been set, and that advanced options
|
|
may be hidden by some frontend programs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
The configuration file "canon_dr.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look
|
|
for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend.
|
|
This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list
|
|
of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the configuration
|
|
file is missing, the backend will fail to run.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 4 ways:
|
|
.PP
|
|
"scsi CANON DR"
|
|
.RS
|
|
Requests backend to search all scsi busses in the system for a device
|
|
which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'CANON', with a model name
|
|
starting with 'DR'.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
"scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file)
|
|
.RS
|
|
Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if you have
|
|
multiple compatible scanners connected to your system, and need to
|
|
specify one. Probably should not be used with the other "scsi" line above.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
"usb 0x04a9 0x1603" (or other vendor/product ids)
|
|
.RS
|
|
Requests backend to search all usb busses in the system for a device
|
|
which uses that vendor and product id. The device will then be queried
|
|
to determine if it is a Canon scanner.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
"usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file)
|
|
.RS
|
|
Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This method is untested.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Besides the 'scsi' and 'usb' lines, the configuration file supports the
|
|
following 'option' lines:
|
|
.PP
|
|
"option buffer-size [number of bytes]"
|
|
.RS
|
|
Set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other than the
|
|
compiled\-in default of 4MB. Large values may cause timeouts or hangs, small
|
|
values may cause slow scans.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some users
|
|
required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not recommended,
|
|
and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You have been
|
|
warned.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
"option vendor-name [string of text]"
|
|
.br
|
|
"option model-name [string of text]"
|
|
.br
|
|
"option version-name [string of text]"
|
|
.RS
|
|
These options can be used collectively to override the values provided by the
|
|
scanner, or to provide the values when the scanner cannot.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
"option padded-read [0|1]"
|
|
.RS
|
|
Some scanners prepend all data transmitted to host with 12 bytes. Enable this option if the scanner fails to respond to commands.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note: 'option' lines may appear multiple times in the configuration file.
|
|
They only apply to scanners discovered by the next 'scsi/usb' line.
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_CANON_DR, which
|
|
enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
5 Errors
|
|
.br
|
|
10 Function trace
|
|

15 Function detail

|
20 Option commands

25 SCSI/USB trace

35 Useless noise

|
|
.SH KNOWN ISSUES
|
|
This backend was entirely reverse engineered from usb traces of the proprietary
|
|
driver. Various advanced features of the machines may not be enabled. Many
|
|
machines have not been tested. Their protocol is unknown.
