    sane-sm3600(5)           SANE Scanner Access Now Easy           sane-sm3600(5)

## NAME

           sane-sm3600 - SANE backend for Microtek scanners with M011 USB chip

## DESCRIPTION

           The  sane-sm3600  library  implements  a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
           backend that provides access to some Microtek scanners with the Toshiba
           M011 custom USB chip.  This backend should be considered alpha.

           There  exist  a  backends  for Microtek scanners with SCSI command set.
           Refer to sane-microtek(5) and sane-microtek2(5) for details.

           At present, the following scanners are known positively  to  work  with
           this backend:

                  Vendor     Product id:     Remark:
                  --------   --------------  -----------
                  Microtek   ScanMaker 3600  all modes ok
                  Microtek   ScanMaker 3700  reported to work
                  Microtek   ScanMaker 3750  reported to work

           If  you  own  a Microtek scanner with the M011 chip other than the ones
           listed above, it may or may not work with SANE!

## FRONTEND OPTIONS

           This backend dynamically enables the options for the frontend, that are
           supported  by  the scanner in dependence of the scanning-mode and other
           options. Not supported options are disabled.

           The following options are supported by the Microtek2-driver:

           Color, grayscale, halftone and lineart scans.

           contrast, brightness, control, gamma correction.

## DEVICE NAMES

           This backend does not support device names in a standardized form.

## CONFIGURATION

           This backend does not support a configuration file right now.

## FILES

           /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-sm3600.a
                  The static library implementing this backend.

           /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-sm3600.so
                  The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
                  that support dynamic loading).

## PERMISSIONS AND INTERFACES

           The backend uses libusb and it's pseudo files in /proc/bus/usb/*. Since
           libusb versions 0.1.3b and 0.1.4 have incompatible binary  data  struc-
           tures,  You  must  be shure not to have obsolete header files. When You
           mix wrong versions, the scanner detection code will  raise  a  "segment
           violation".

           These  files  are normally owned by root and You are responsible to get
           access to these files, for example chown-ing them to Yourself.  If  You
           have no right permissions, the backend will find the device, but You'll
           get an I/O error.

           The   better   way   is   to   use   automatical    hotplugging.    See
           http://sm3600.sf.net/hotplug.html for instructions and useful links.

## ENVIRONMENT

           SANE_DEBUG_SM3600
                  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. To see error messages on stderr
                  set SANE_DEBUG_SM3600 to 1.

                  E.g. just say:
                  export SANE_DEBUG_SM3600=5
