|
|
SANE backend for Plustek parallel port and
|
|
.br
|
|
LM983[1/2/3] based USB flatbed scanners
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B sane-plustek
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
|
|
provides access to Plustek parallel port and USB flatbed scanners.
|
|
The USB support is part of the SANE package but for usage with
|
|
parallel port scanners you will need a kernel module, called
|
|
pt_drv which currently can be downloaded from
|
|
.br
|
|
.B http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html
|
|
|
|
.SH "PARALLEL PORT SUPPORT"
|
|
|
|
At present, the following scanners should work with this backend
|
|

The SCSI scanner OpticPro 19200S is a rebadged Artec AM12S scanner
|
|
and is supported by the
|
|
.B Artec
|
|
backend.
|
|
.br
|
|
Only the National Semiconductor LM9831/2 based devices of Plustek
|
|
are supported by this driver. Older versions of the UT12, the U1212
|
|
and U1248 (GrandTech chipset are not supported)
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
.SH "DEVICE NAMES"

This backend expects a default device called:
|

.PP

.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
This default device will be used, if no configuration
|
|
file can be found.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The device-driver is currently not part of the SANE distribution.
|
|
It has to be downloaded from:
|
|
.br
|
|
.B http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html
|
|
.br
|
|
See the INSTALL file there for a proper setup. Currently only Linux
|
|
is supported by this driver (Kernel 2.2.x and higher).
|
|
.PP
|
|
As the backend and the driver support up to four devices
|
|
per system, it is possible to specify them in the configuration
|
|
file
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|

tells the backend, that the following devicename (here
|

) has to be interpreted as parallel port scanner device.
|
|
.PP
|
|
To have this device, you will need to setup the kernel module.
|
|
As the driver is a loadable kernel module, it is configured
|
|
by invoking insmod with the appropriate parameters or

appending the options to the file

The value
|

.I lll

tells the driver, after how many seconds to
|
|
switch-off the lamp(s). The default value is 180.
|
|
0 will disable this feature.
|

.br

switching on/off the lamps will reduce their lifetime.

.B "PARALLEL PORT MODES"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The current driver works best, when the parallel port
|
|
has been set to EPP-mode. When detecting any other
|
|
mode such as ECP or PS/2 the driver tries to set to a
|
|
faster, supported mode. If this fails, it will use the
|
|
SPP mode, as this mode should work with all Linux supported
|
|
parallel ports.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Former Plustek scanner models (4830, 9630) supplied a
|
|
ISA parallel port adapter card. This card is
|
|
.BR not
|
|
supported by the driver.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The ASIC 96001/3 based models have sometimes trouble with
|
|
high resolution modes. If you encounter sporadic corrupted
|
|
images (parts duplicated or shifted horizontally) kill all
|
|
other applications before scanning and (if sufficient
|
|
memory available) disable swapping.

You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded

correctly and the module

.I scanner
|

has been loaded too. To make this module recognize your

scanner, you might have to add the following line to

If you're not sure about the vendor and product id of your

scanner. Then do a

.br
|
|
* The Halftoning works, but the quality is poor
|
|
.br
|
|
* Printers (especially HP models) will start to
|
|
.br
|
|
print during scanning. This in fact is a problem
|
|
.br
|
|
to other printers too, using bidirectional protocol
|
|
.br
|
|
(see www.plustek.com (TAIWAN) page for further details)
|
|
.br
|
|
* The driver does not support these manic scalings up
|
|
.br
|
|
to 16 times the physical resolution. The only scaling
|
|
.br
|
|
is done on resolutions between the physical resolution
|
|
.br
|
|
of the CDD-sensor and the stepper motor i.e. you have a
|
|
.br
|
|
600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi,
|
|
.br
|
|
so scaling is necesary, because the sensor only delivers
|
|
.br
|
|
600dpi but the motor is capable to perform 800dpi steps.
|
|
.br
|
|
* On some devices, the pictures seems to be bluished

|
|
.br
|
|
* 30bit mode is currently not supported.
|
|
.br
|
|
* On low-end systems and under heavy system load, the

* Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent. This
|
|
.br
|
|
means, they sell technical different devices under the
|
|
.br
|
|
same product name. Therefore it is possible that some
|
|
.br
|
|
devices like the UT12 or U12 won't work - please check
|
|
.br
|
|
the model list above and compare the product-id to
|
|
.br
|
|
the one your device has.
