<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
The <B>sane-microtek</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
|
|
|
|
|
backend that provides access to the "second generation" Microtek scan-
|
|
|
|
|
ners. At present, the following hardware is known to work with this
|
|
|
|
|
backend:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Microtek ScanMaker E2, E3, E6
|
|
|
|
|
Microtek ScanMaker II, IIG, IIHR, IISP, III
|
|
|
|
|
Microtek ScanMaker 35t, 35t+, 45t
|
|
|
|
|
Microtek ScanMaker 600GS, 600ZS (see bug notes)
|
|
|
|
|
Agfa StudioScan
|
|
|
|
|
Agfa StudioScan II, StudioScan IIsi
|
|
|
|
|
Agfa Arcus II (but not the "Arcus")
|
|
|
|
|
Agfa DuoScan (preliminary)
|
|
|
|
|
Vobis "Highscreen Realscan"
|
|
|
|
|
Microtek Color PageWiz (preliminary)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Transparent Media Adapter
|
|
|
|
|
Document AutoFeeder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The driver supports line art, halftone, 8bpp gray, and 24bpp color
|
|
|
|
|
scans at normal and "expanded" resolutions (i.e. 1200x1200 on an E6),
|
|
|
|
|
fast scans for color previews, and downloadable gamma tables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The supported scanners are all SCSI scanners. However, some parallel
|
|
|
|
|
port models may work (under Linux), if they use a parport->scsi chip,
|
|
|
|
|
and if you can find a scsi->parport driver. This is known to be the
|
|
|
|
|
case for the Color PageWiz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The driver does <B>not</B> support the newest Microtek scanners, such as the
|
|
|
|
|
V330 and V660, which use a new and very different SCSI-II command set.
|
|
|
|
|
For those, try the alternate <B>microtek2</B> backend. Most non-SCSI scanners
|
|
|
|
|
would use the new command set. Most scanners newer than the Scanmaker
|
|
|
|
|
E6 would use the new command set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you own a Microtek scanner other than the ones listed above, tell us
|
|
|
|
|
what happens --- see the <B>BUGS</B> section at the end of this document.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Although this manual page is generally updated with each release, up-
|
|
|
|
|
to-date information on new releases and extraneous helpful hints are
|
|
|
|
|
available from the backend homepage:

<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
This backend expects device names of the form:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<I>special</I>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where <I>special</I> is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corre-
|
|
|
|
|
sponds to the scanner. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
The contents of the <I>microtek.conf</I> file is a list of device names that
|
|
|
|
|
correspond to Microtek scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a
|
|
|
|
|
hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/dev/scanner
|
|
|
|
|
# this is a comment
|
|
|
|
|
/dev/sge
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration file may also contain the special tokens <I>norealcal</I> or
|
|
|
|
|
<I>noprecal.</I> <I>norealcal</I> will disable the use of magic, undocumented scan-
|
|
|
|
|
ner calibration commands which are known to work on the E6, but may not
|
|
|
|
|
work with other models. <I>noprecal</I> will disable logic which tries to
|
|
|
|
|
avoid scanner precalibration. This logic would only have been acti-
|
|
|
|
|
vated if the magic calibration code was turned off.

<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 /etc/sane.d. If the
|
|
|
|
|
value of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa-
|
|
|
|
|
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_MICROTEK</B>
|
|
|
|
|
If the library was compiled with debugging support enabled, this
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
|
|
|
|
|
A value of 128 requests maximally copious debug output; smaller
|
|
|
|
|
levels reduce verbosity.

<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>

|
Known bugs/limitations are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brightness and contrast broken.
|
|
|
|
|
The 600GS is grayscale only, and will lock up if you select
|
|
|
|
|
color. (Unfortunately, the 600GS and 600ZS are indistinguish-
|
|
|
|
|
able by software.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
i.e. don't complain about these --- but if brightness and/or contrast
|
|
|
|
|
<B>do</B> work for you, please tell me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your scanner locks up, try setting the <I>norealcal</I> or <I>noprecal</I> option
|
|
|
|
|
in the configuration file (first one, then both), and see if it helps.
|
|
|
|
|
(If it does, report it.)

Send lengthy bug reports and new scanner information to
|
|
|
|
|
<B>mtek-bugs@mir.com</B>. All bug reports and new scanner inquiries should
|
|
|
|
|
include an error log file. You can generate copious stderr output by
|
|
|
|
|
setting the SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK environment variable described above.
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
setenv SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK 128
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
