## NAME

           sane-tamarack - SANE backend for Tamarack flatbed scanners

## DESCRIPTION

           The  sane-tamarack  library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
           backend that provides access to the following  Tamarack  flatbed  scan-
           ners:

                  Artiscan 6000C
                  Artiscan 8000C
                  Artiscan 12000C

## DEVICE NAMES

           This backend expects device names of the form:

                  special

           Where  special is the path-name for the special device that corresponds
           to a SCSI scanner. The special device  name  must  be  a  generic  SCSI
           device  or  a  symlink to such a device.  The program sane-find-scanner
           helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a  device  name
           could  be  /dev/sga  or  /dev/sge,  for  example.  See sane-scsi(5) for
           details.

## FILES

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

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

           /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-tamarack.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 config-
                  uration 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_TAMARACK
                  If  the  library  was  compiled with debug support enabled, this
                  environment variable controls the debug level for this  backend.
                  Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.

                  Example: export SANE_DEBUG_TAMARACK=4
