<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The <B>sane-agfafocus</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
|
|
|
|
|
|
backend that provides access to AGFA Focus flatbed scanners. At
|
|
|
|
|
|
present, the following scanners are supported from this backend:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AGFA Focus GS Scanner (6 bit gray scale) (untested)
|
|
|
|
|
|
AGFA Focus Lineart Scanner (lineart) (untested)
|
|
|
|
|
|
AGFA Focus II (8 bit gray scale) (untested)
|
|
|
|
|
|
AGFA Focus Color (24 bit color 3-pass)
|
|
|
|
|
|
AGFA Focus Color Plus (24 bit color 3-pass)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Siemens S9036 (8 bit gray scale) (untested)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The driver supports line art, 6bpp and 8bpp gray, 18bpp and 24bpp color
|
|
|
|
|
|
scans.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with
|
|
|
|
|
|
this backend, please let us know by sending the scanner's model name,
|
|
|
|
|
|
SCSI id, and firmware revision to <I>sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org</I>.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of these scanners are pre-SCSI-2, and do not even report properly
|
|
|
|
|
|
to SCSI Inquiry. This is typically evident in SCSI bus scans, where
|
|
|
|
|
|
the scanner will come up with only garbage as vendor and models
|
|
|
|
|
|
strings.

<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
|
This backend expects device names of the form:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<I>special</I>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Where <I>special</I> is either the path-name for the special device that cor‐
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
responds to a SCSI scanner. For SCSI scanners, the special device name
|
|
|
|
|
|
must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device. Under
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux, such a device name could be <I>/dev/sga</I> or <I>/dev/sge</I>, for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
See <B><A HREF="sane-scsi.5.html">sane-scsi(5)</A></B> for details.

<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>

|
|

The contents of the <I>agfafocus.conf</I> file is a list of device names that

|
|
|
|
|
correspond to AGFA Focus scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with
|
|
|
|
|
|
a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is shown

<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
|
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
|
|
|
|
|
|
by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config‐
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the
|
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
value of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa‐
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
rator character, then the default directories are searched after
|
|
|
|
|
|
the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories
|
|
|
|
|
|
"tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this
|
|
|
|
|
|
order).

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_DEBUG_AGFAFOCUS</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_AGFAFOCUS values:

Uploading of dither matrices and tonecurves has been implemented, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
so far has not proven to be useful for anything. For this reason these
|
|
|
|
|
|
options have been disabled.

The scanners that do not support disconnect have problems with SCSI
|
|
|
|
|
|
timeouts if the SCSI bus gets loaded, eg. if you do a kernel build at
|
|
|
|
|
|
the same time as scanning. To see if your scanner supports disconnect,
|
|
|
|
|
|
run "SANE_DEBUG_AGFAFOCUS=128 scanimage -L" in sh and look for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
"disconnect:" line)

|

If you have problems with SANE not detecting your scanner, make sure
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Artec backend is disabled. Somehow, this backend causes at least
|
|
|
|
|
|
my scanner not to respond correctly to SCSI inquiry commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you encounter a bug please set the environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
|
SANE_DEBUG_AGFAFOCUS to 128 and try to regenerate the problem. Then
|
|
|
|
|
|
send me a report with the log attached.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you encounter a SCSI bus error or trimmed and/or displaced images
|
|
|
|
|
|
please also set the environment variable SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI to 128
|
|
|
|
|
|
before sending me the report.

The AGFA ACS and ARCUS scanners are similar to the FOCUS scan‐
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
ners. The driver could probably be extended to support these
|
|
|
|
|
|
scanners without too many changes. I do not have access to such
|
|
|
|
|
|
scanners, and cannot add support for it. However, if you are in
|
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
possession of such a scanner, I could be helpful in adding sup‐
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
port for these scanners.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AGFA HORIZON scanners are SCSI-2 scanners, and it would
|
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
probably be easier to support these scanners in a SCSI-2 compli‐
