This directory contains various tools that may be useful:

 sane-find-scanner (previous name: "find-scanner"):
        Attempts to find a SCSI scanner attached to your system.
        Invoke with "sane-find-scanner -h" to get command-line
        syntax. 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. More details can be
        found in the man page sane-find-scanner(1).

 xerox:
        A simple script to make photocopies ("xeroxing").  In
        the script, you may need to adjust the device name
        assigned to variable DEV and the resolution assigned
        to variable RES as well as the paper with and height
        (variables WIDTH and HEIGHT, respectively.

 mustek600iin-off:
        Allows you to turn off a Mustek 600 II N scanner.
        Use "make mustek600iin-off" to compile.

 umax_pp:
	Command line utility to scan on UMAX astra 1220P,
	1600P and 2000P, without using the backend. So that
	scanner protocol can be tested directly.

Maybe usefull for SANE developers:

 sane-desc.el:
        Some handy elisp stuff to automagically generate descriptive
        SANE webpages from backend .desc files with emacs. Look at the
        top of the file for more details.

 sane-config:
        Show SANE version, linker flags etc. Might be usefull for 
        frontend developers.
