Other Mustek USB scanners are supported by the gt68xx, mustek_usb and
the plustek backends. See <B><AHREF="sane-mustek_usb.5.html">sane-mustek_usb(5)</A></B>, <B><AHREF="sane-gt68xx.5.html">sane-gt68xx(5)</A></B> and <B>sane-</B>
<B><AHREF="plustek.5.html">plustek(5)</A></B> for details.
This backend can only work with scanners that are already detected by
the operating system. See <B><AHREF="sane-usb.5.html">sane-usb(5)</A></B> for details.
If you own a scanner other than the Mustek BearPaw 1200F that works
with this backend, please let me know this by sending the scanner's
exact model name and the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
<I>/proc/bus/usb/devices</I> or syslog) to me.
</PRE>
<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
This backend expects device names of the form:
<I>special</I>
Where <I>special</I> is a path-name for the special device that corresponds to
a USB scanner. With Linux, such a device name could be <I>/dev/usb/scan-</I>
<I>ner0</I> or <I>libusb:001:002</I>, for example.
</PRE>
<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
The contents of the <I>ma1509.conf</I> file is a list of options and device
names that correspond to Mustek BearPAw 1200F scanners. Empty lines
and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.
Instead of using the device name, the scanner can be autodetected by
<B>usb</B><B>vendor_id</B><B>product_id</B> statements which are already included into
<I>ma1509.conf</I>. This is only supported with Linux 2.4.8 and higher and
all systems that support libsub. "vendor_id" and "product_id" are hex-
adecimal numbers that identfy the scanner. If this doesn't work, a
device name must be placed in <I>ma1509.conf</I> as described above.
To set the time the lamp needs for warm-up, use <B>option</B><B>warmup-time</B> in
<I>ma1509.conf</I>. The time is given in seconds after the option. The
default is 30 seconds.
</PRE>
<H2>FILES</H2><PRE>
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d/ma1509.conf</I>
The backend configuration file (see also description of
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> below).
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-ma1509.a</I>
The static library implementing this backend.
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-ma1509.so</I>
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
that support dynamic loading).
</PRE>
<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 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 <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_MA1509</B>
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.
