.SH NAME
sane-umax1220u - SANE backend for the UMAX Astra 1220U scanner
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B sane-umax1220
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend for the
the UMAX Astra 1220U scanner.
For the latest information on this backend, please visit
.IR http://umax1220u-sane.sourceforge.net/ .
.SH UMAX ASTRA 2000U EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT
This backend can also drive the UMAX Astra 2000U (sort of). You
will be able to scan, but the colors will be horrible. From
Stephane (the author of sane-umax_pp), I learned that there are
differences in the way the color calibration is performed. It may
be possible to use ideas from that backend to add complete support
for the 2000U to this backend. Since I do not have access to an
Astra 2000U, I do not plan to work on this -- any volunteers?
.SH CONFIGURATION
The configuration file for this backend resides in
@CONFIGDIR@/umax1220u.conf.
Its contents is a list of device names that correspond to UMAX Astra 1220U scanners.
Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample
configuration file is shown below:
#usb vendor product
usb 0x1606 0x0010
# Device list for non-linux systems
/dev/scanner
/dev/usb/scanner0
When driving a Astra 2000U, use the product number 0x0030. See sane-usb(5) for
information on how to set the access permissions on the usb device files.
.SH FILES
The backend configuration file:
@CONFIGDIR@/umax1220u.conf
The static library implementing this backend:
@LIBDIR@/libsane-umax1220u.a
The shared library implementing this backend :
@LIBDIR@/libsane-umax1220u.so
(present on systems that support dynamic loading)
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.B SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U
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:
SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U values
.DS
.sp
.ft CR
.nf
Number Remark
1 print failures
2 print information
3 print high-level function calls
4 print high-level function checkpoints
9 print mid-level function calls
10 print mid-level function checkpoints
80 print protocol-level function entry
90 print protocol-level function exit
Example:
export SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U=10
.SH KNOWN BUGS
600 dpi scanning may fail for large image sizes.
If you keep getting I/O errors, try cycling the power on your scanner to reset it.
There is no way to cancel a scan, since the driver ignores sane_cancel().
If you try scanning an image which is too small, you will get I/O errors. Be
sure to adjust the scan area before doing a scan, since by default, the scan
area is zero.

.SH REPORTING BUGS
When reporting bugs, please run the backend with SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U
set to 10 and attach a copy of the log messages.
