# SANE: Backends (Drivers)

The following table summarizes the backends/drivers distributed with sane-backends-1.0.10, and the hardware or software they support.

This is only a summary! Please consult the manpages and the author-supplied webpages for more detailed (and usually important) information concerning each backend.

There are special tables for parallel port and USB scanners from Jonathan Buzzard.

If you have new information or corrections, please send e-mail to sane-devel, the SANE mailing list.

For an explanation of the tables, see the legend.

There are tables for scanners, still cameras, video cameras, APIs, and meta backends.
