<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
The <B>sane-artec</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
|
|
|
|
|
backend that provides access to Artec/Ultima SCSI flatbed scanners. At
|
|
|
|
|
present, the following scanners are known to work at least partially
|
|
|
|
|
with this backend:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-12-18 15:23:45 +00:00
|
|
|
* Artec A6000C
|
|
|
|
|
* Artec A6000C PLUS
|
|
|
|
|
* Artec ViewStation AT3
|
|
|
|
|
* BlackWidow BW4800SP (rebadged Artec AT3)
|
|
|
|
|
* Artec ViewStation AT6
|
|
|
|
|
* Artec ViewStation AT12
|
|
|
|
|
* Artec AM12S
|
|
|
|
|
* Plustek 19200S (rebadged Artec AM12S)

correspond to Artec scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a

hash mark (#) are ignored. See <I>sane-scsi(5)</I> on details of what consti-
|

<H2>SCSI ADAPTER TIPS</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
Some Artec scanners come with an included SCSI adapter. If your scan-
|
|
|
|
|
ner came with a DTC ISA scsi cards, you can probably use it with recent
|
|
|
|
|
(>= 2.2.0) kernels using the generic NCR5380 support. You must pass
|
|
|
|
|
the following boot argument to the kernel: "dtc3181e=0x2c0,0"
|
|
|
|
|
I do not have any information on the PCI SCSI adapter included with
|
|
|
|
|
some newer Artec scanners.

<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B>
|
|
|
|
|
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 con-
|
|
|
|
|
figuration file is searched in two default directories: first,
|
|
|
|
|
the current working direc- tory (".") 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 <B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> to "/tmp/config:"
|
|
|
|
|
would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
|
|
|
|
|
"/usr/local/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_DEBUG_ARTEC</B>
|
|
|
|
|
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_ARTEC values

<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
Known bugs in this release: A6000C+ users with firmware v1.92 or ear-
|
|
|
|
|
lier have problems with the backend, the cause has not been determined.
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the backend is not particularly robust, you can possibly lock
|
|
|
|
|
up the SCSI bus (and/or machine) by not having patience enough when
|
|
|
|
|
scanning. 3-channel gamma correction is not implemented and single-
|
|
|
|
|
channel gamma correction is not totally working on models other than
|
|
|
|
|
the AT3.
