NAME

       sane-plustek - SANE backend for LM983[1/2/3] based USB flatbed scanners


DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-plustek  library  implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend that provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on  National
       Semiconductor Merlin chipsets (LM9831, 9832 and 9833).  If you're look-
       ing for parallel-port support for Plustek scanner please refer  to  the
       sane-plustek_pp(5) backend.


SUPPORTED DEVICES

       The  Backend is able to support USB scanner based on the National Semi-
       conductor chipsets LM9831, LM9832 and LM9833. The following tables show
       various  devices  which are currently reported to work. If your Plustek
       scanner has another Product ID, then the device  is  NOT  supported  by
       this backend.

OTHER PLUSTEK SCANNERS

       For parallelport device support see the sane-plustek_pp(5) backend.
       The  SCSI scanner OpticPro 19200S is a rebadged Artec AM12S scanner and
       is supported by the sane-artec(5) backend.
       Only the National Semiconductor LM983[1/2/] based  devices  of  Plustek
       are supported by this backend. Older versions of the U12, the UT12, the
       U1212 and U1248 (GrandTech chipset) are not supported.

CONFIGURATION

       To use your scanner with this backend, you need at least two entries in
       the configuration file /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf

              [usb] vendor-id product-id
              device /dev/usbscanner

       [usb] tells the backend, that the following devicename (here  /dev/usb-
       scanner)  has  to  be interpreted as USB scanner device. If vendor- and
       product-id has not been specified, the backend tries to detect this  by
       its  own.  If  device  is  set to auto then the next matching device is
       used.
       The following options can be used for a default setup of  your  device.
       Most of them are also available through the frontend.

       The Options:

       option warmup t
              t  specifies the warmup period in seconds, if set to -1, the au-
              tomatic warmup function will be used

       option lampOff t
              t is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps in  standby
              mode

       option lOffonEnd b
              b specifies the behaviour when closing the backend, 1 --> switch
              lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status

       option mov m
              m is the model  override  switch.  It  works  only  with  Mustek
              BearPaw devices.
              m/PID |    0x1000    |    0x1001
              ------+--------------+--------------
                0   | BearPaw 1200 | BearPaw 2400
                1   |  no function | BearPaw 1200

       option invertNegatives b
              b 0 --> do not invert the picture during negative scans,
              1 --> invert picture

       option cacheCalData b
              b 0 --> do not save calibration results,
              1 --> save results of calibration in ~/.sane/ directory

       option altCalibration b
              b 0 --> use standard calibration routines,
              1 --> use alternate calibration (only non Plustek devices, stan-
              dard for CIS devices)

       option skipFine b
              b 0 --> perform fine calibration,
              1 --> skip fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)

       option skipFineWhite b
              b 0 --> perform white fine calibration,
              1 --> skip white fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)

       option skipDarkStrip b
              b 0 --> perform dark calibration, with enabled  lamp  using  the
              dark  calibration  strip of the scanner. If the scanner does not
              have such a strip, the alternative way is to switch off the lamp
              during this step.
              1  -->  always  switch off the lamp for dark calibration, even a
              black strip is available

       option skipCalibration b
              b 0 --> perform calibration,
              1 --> skip calibration (only non Plustek devices)

       option enableTPA b
              b 0 --> default behaviour, specified by the internal tables,
              1 --> override internal tables and allow  TPA  mode  (EPSON/UMAX
              only)

       option posOffX x
       option posOffY y
       option tpaOffX x
       option tpaOffY y
       option negOffX x
       option negOffY y
              x  y By using this settings, the user can adjust the given image
              positions.  Please note, that there's no internal range checking
              for this feature.

       option posShadingY p
       option tpaShadingY p
       option negShadingY p
              p  overrides  the  internal  shading position. The values are in
              steps.  Please note, that there's no internal range checking for
              this feature.

       option redGamma r
       option greenGamma g
       option blueGamma b
       option grayGamma gr
              r g b gr
       By using these values, the internal linear gamma table (r,g,b,gr = 1.0)
       can be adjusted.

       option red_gain r
       option red_offset ro
       option green_gain g
       option green_offset go
       option blue_gain b
       option blue_offset bo
              r g b ro go bo These values can be used to set the gain and off-
              set  values  of the AFE for each channel. The range is between 0
              and 63. -1 means autocalibration.

       See the plustek.conf file for examples.

       Note:
       You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded  correctly  and
       you  have  access  to the device-node. For more details see sane-usb(5)
       manpage. You might use sane-find-scanner(1) to check that you have  ac-
       cess to your device.

       Note:
       If there's no configuration file, the backend defaults to device auto


FILES

       /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
              The backend configuration file

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

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


ENVIRONMENT

       SANE_CONFIG_DIR
              This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
              may contain the configuration file.  On *NIX systems, the direc-
              tories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are sep-
              arated  by a semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the
              configuration file  is  searched  in  two  default  directories:
              first,  the current working directory (".") and then in /usr/lo-
              cal/etc/sane.d.  If the value of the environment  variable  ends
              with  the directory separator character, then the default direc-
              tories are searched after the explicitly specified  directories.
              For example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would re-
              sult in directories tmp/config, ., and /usr/local/etc/sane.d be-
              ing searched (in this order).

       SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK
              If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en-
              vironment variable controls the debug level  for  this  backend.
              Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.

              Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10

CONTACT AND BUG-REPORTS

       Please send any information and bug-reports to:
       SANE Mailing List

       Additional info and hints can be obtained from our mailing-List archive
       at: http://www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html.

       To  obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the environment-
       variable SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK before calling your favorite SANE  frontend
       (e.g.  scanimage(1)):

       export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; scanimage

       The value controls the verbosity of the output. Please note that values
       greater than 24 force the backend to output raw data files which  could
       be  rather large. The suffix of these files is ".raw".  For problem re-
       ports it should be enough the set the verbosity to 13.


KNOWN BUGS & RESTRICTIONS

       * The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16  times  the
       physical  resolution.  The  only scaling is done on resolutions between
       the physical resolution of the CCD-/CIS-sensor and  the  stepper  motor
       i.e. you have a 600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi,
       so scaling is necessary, because the sensor only  delivers  600dpi  but
       the motor is capable to perform 1200dpi steps.

       *  Plusteks'  model  policy is somewhat inconsistent. They sell techni-
       cally different devices under the same product name.  Therefore  it  is
       possible  that  some  devices  like the UT12 or U12 won't work - please
       check the model list above and compare the product-id to the  one  your
       device has.

       * Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
