## NAME

           sane-dc210 - SANE backend for Kodak DC210 Digital Camera

## DESCRIPTION

           The  sane-dc210  library  implements  a  SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
           backend that provides  access  to  the  Kodak  DC210  camera.  THIS  IS
           EXTREMELY ALPHA CODE!  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

## DEVICE NAMES

           The  current  version  of the backend only allows one camera to be con-
           nected.  The device name is always "0".

## CONFIGURATION

           The contents of the dc210.conf specify the serial port and baud rate to
           use.  The baud rate specifies the maximum rate to use while downloading
           pictures.  (The camera is always  initialized  using  9600  baud,  then
           switches  to  the higher rate).  On my 90MHz Pentium, I usually have no
           problems downloading at 115200 baud as long as the system is not exces-
           sively  busy  and  the "interrupt-unmask flag" is set in the IDE driver
           (hdparm -u1).  Supported baud rates are: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
           115200.

           The  dumpinquiry  line  causes  some information about the camera to be
           printed.

           cmdrespause specifies how many usec (1,000,000ths of a) between writing
           the  command  and reading the result should be used. 125000 seems to be
           the lowest I could go reliably.

           breakpause is the time in 1,000,000ths of a usec  between  sending  the
           "back to default" break sending commands.

           Empty  lines  and  lines  starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.  A
           sample configuration file is shown below:

                  port=/dev/ttyS0
                  # this is a comment
                  baud=115200
                  dumpinquiry
                  cmdrespause=125000
                  breakpause=1000000

## FILES

           /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dc210.conf
                  The  backend  configuration  file  (see  also   description   of
                  SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

           /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-dc210.a
                  The static library implementing this backend.

           /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-dc210.so
                  The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
                  that support dynamic loading).

## ENVIRONMENT

           SANE_CONFIG_DIR
                  This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
                  may contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories
                  are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they  are  separated
                  by  a  semi-colon  (`;').   If  this  variable  is  not set, the
                  configuration file  is  searched  in  two  default  directories:
                  first,   the   current  working  directory  (".")  and  then  in
                  /usr/local/etc/sane.d.  If the value of the environment variable
                  ends  with  the  directory separator character, then the default
                  directories are searched after the explicitly specified directo-
                  ries.   For  example,  setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:"
                  would   result   in   directories   "tmp/config",    ".",    and
                  "/usr/local/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).

           SANE_DEBUG_DC210
                  If the library was compiled with debugging support enabled, this
                  environment variable controls the debug level for this  backend.
                  A  value of 128 requests maximally copious debug output; smaller
                  levels reduce verbosity.

## AUTHOR

           Brian J. Murrell

           This backend is based somewhat on the dc25  backend  included  in  this
           package by Peter Fales.

           The  manpage  was  copied  from the dc25 backend and somewhat edited by
           Henning Meier-Geinitz.
