NAME

       sane - Scanner Access Now Easy: API for accessing scanners


DESCRIPTION

       SANE  is an application programming interface (API) that provides stan-
       dardized access to any raster image scanner hardware. The  standardized
       interface  makes  it possible to write just one driver for each scanner
       device instead of one driver for each scanner and application.

       While SANE is primarily targeted at a UNIX  environment,  the  standard
       has been carefully designed to make it possible to implement the API on
       virtually any hardware or operating system.

       This manual page provides a summary of the information available  about
       SANE.

       If  you  have  trouble getting your scanner detected, read the PROBLEMS
       section.


TERMINOLOGY

       An application that uses the SANE interface is called a SANE  frontend.
       A  driver  that implements the SANE interface is called a SANE backend.
       A meta backend provides some means to manage one or  more  other  back-
       ends.


SOFTWARE PACKAGES

       The  package  `sane-backends' contains a lot of backends, documentation
       (including the SANE standard), networking support, and the command line
       frontend   `scanimage'.    The   frontends  `xscanimage',  `xcam',  and
       `scanadf' are included in the package `sane-frontends'.  Both  packages
       can   be   downloaded   from   the   SANE   homepage  (http://www.sane-
       project.org/).  Information about other frontends and backends can also
       be found on the SANE homepage.


GENERAL INFORMATION

       The  following  sections  provide  short descriptions and links to more
       information about several aspects of SANE.  A name  with  a  number  in
       parenthesis (e.g.  `sane-dll(5)') points to a manual page. In this case
       `man   5   sane-dll'   will   display   the    page.    Entries    like
       `/usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.18/sane.tex' are references to text files that
       were     copied     to     the     SANE     documentation     directory
       (/usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.18/) during installation. Everything else is a
       URL to a resource on the web.

       SANE homepage
         Information on all aspects of SANE including a tutorial and a link to
         the  SANE  FAQ  can  be  found on the SANE homepage: http://www.sane-
         project.org/.

       SANE device lists
         The SANE device lists contain information about the  status  of  SANE
         support  for  a  specific device. If your scanner is not listed there
         (either supported or unsupported), please contact us. See section HOW
         CAN  YOU HELP SANE for details. There are lists for specific releases
         of SANE, for the current development version  and  a  search  engine:
         http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html.   The  lists
         are also installed on your system at /usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.18/.

       SANE mailing list
         There is a mailing list for the purpose of discussing the SANE  stan-
         dard and its implementations: sane-devel.  Despite its name, the list
         is not only intended for developers, but also for  users.  There  are
         also  some  more  lists for special topics, however, for users, sane-
         devel  is  the  right  list.  How  to  subscribe   and   unsubscribe:
         http://www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html.

       SANE IRC channel
         The  IRC  (Internet  Relay  Chat)  channel  #sane can be found on the
         Freenode network (irc.freenode.net). It's for discussing  SANE  prob-
         lems,  talking  about  development and general SANE related chatting.
         Before asking for help, please read the other documentation mentioned
         in  this  manual page. The channel's topic is also used for announce-
         ments of  problems  with  SANE  infrastructure  (mailing  lists,  web
         server, etc.).

       Compiling and installing SANE
         Look at /usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.18/README and the os-dependent README
         files for information about compiling and installing SANE.

MISCELLANEOUS BACKENDS

       dll
         The sane-dll library implements a SANE backend that  provides  access
         to an arbitrary number of other SANE backends by dynamic loading. See
         sane-dll(5).

       net
         The SANE network daemon saned provides access to scanners located  on
         different  computers  in  connection  with the net backend. See sane-
         net(5) and saned(8).

       pnm
         PNM image reader pseudo-backend. The purpose of this backend is  pri-
         marily to aid in debugging of SANE frontends. See sane-pnm(5).

       pint
         Backend  for  scanners  that  use the PINT (Pint Is Not Twain) device
         driver.  The PINT driver is being actively developed on  the  OpenBSD
         platform, and has been ported to a few other *nix-like operating sys-
         tems. See sane-pint(5).

       test
         The SANE test backend is for testing frontends and the SANE installa-
         tion.   It provides test pictures and various test options. See sane-
         test(5).

       v4l
         The sane-v4l library implements a SANE backend that provides  generic
         access  to  video  cameras and similar equipment using the V4L (Video
         for Linux) API. See sane-v4l(5).

       Also, have a look at the backend information page  at  http://www.sane-
       project.org/sane-supported-devices.html  and  the  list  of projects in
       /usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.18/PROJECTS.


CHANGING THE TOP-LEVEL BACKEND

       By default, all SANE backends (drivers) are loaded dynamically  by  the
       sane-dll  meta  backend.  If  you  have any questions about the dynamic
       loading, read sane-dll(5).  SANE frontend can also be linked  to  other
       backends  directly  by  copying  or  linking a backend to libsane.so in
       /usr/local/lib/sane.


DEVELOPER'S DOCUMENTATION

       It's not hard to write a SANE backend. It can take some time,  however.
       You  should  have  basic  knowledge  of  C  and enough patience to work
       through the documentation and find out how your scanner works. Appended
       is  a list of some documents that help to write backends and frontends.

       The SANE standard defines the application programming  interface  (API)
       that  is  used to communicate between frontends and backends. It can be
       found at /usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.18/sane.ps (if latex is  installed  on
       your system) and on the SANE website: http://www.sane-project.org/html/
       (HTML), or http://www.sane-project.org/sane.ps (Postscript).

       There    is    some    more    information    for    programmers     in
       /usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.18/backend-writing.txt.   Most  of the internal
       SANE routines (sanei) are documented  using  doxygen:  http://www.sane-
       project.org/sanei/.   Before  a  new  backend  or  frontend  project is
       started,  have  a  look  at   /usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.18/PROJECTS   for
       projects  that  are planned or not yet included into the SANE distribu-
       tion  and  at  our  bug-tracking  system:   http://www.http://www.sane-
       project.org/bugs.html.

       There  are  some links on how to find out about the protocol of a scan-
       ner: http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/misc/develop.html.

       If you start writing a backend or frontend or any other part  of  SANE,
       please contact the sane-devel mailing list for coordination so the same
       work isn't done twice.

PROBLEMS

       If your device isn't found but you know that it is supported, make sure
       that  it  is  detected by your operating system. For SCSI and USB scan-
       ners, use the  sane-find-scanner  tool  (see  sane-find-scanner(1)  for
       details).  It prints one line for each scanner it has detected and some
       comments (#). If sane-find-scanner finds your scanner only as root  but
       not  as  normal  user,  the  permissions  for  the device files are not
       adjusted correctly. If the scanner isn't found at  all,  the  operating
       system hasn't detected it and may need some help. Depending on the type
       of your scanner, read sane-usb(5) or sane-scsi(5).  If your scanner (or
       other device) is not connected over the SCSI bus or USB, read the back-
       end's manual page for details on how to set it up.

       Now your scanner is detected by the operating system but not  by  SANE?
       Try  scanimage  -L.   If the scanner is not found, check that the back-
       end's name is mentioned in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf.  Some  back-
       ends  are  commented  out  by default. Remove the comment sign for your
       backend in this case. Also some backends aren't compiled at all if  one
       of  their  prerequisites  are  missing.  Examples include dc210, dc240,
       canon_pp, hpsj5s, gphoto2, pint, qcam, v4l, net, sm3600, snapscan, pnm.
       If  you  need one of these backends and they aren't available, read the
       build instructions in the README file and the individual  manual  pages
       of the backends.

       Another  reason for not being detected by scanimage -L may be a missing
       or wrong configuration in the backend's configuration file. While  SANE
       tries  to  automatically  find  most scanners, some can't be setup cor-
       rectly without the intervention of  the  administrator.  Also  on  some
       operating systems auto-detection may not work. Check the backend's man-
       ual page for details.

       If your scanner is still not found, try setting the various environment
       variables  that  are available to assist in debugging.  The environment
       variables are documented in the relevant manual pages.  For example, to
       get  the maximum amount of debug information when testing a Mustek SCSI
       scanner, set environment variables  SANE_DEBUG_DLL,  SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK,
       and  SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI  to  128 and then invoke scanimage -L .  The
       debug messages for the dll backend tell if the mustek backend was found
       and  loaded at all. The mustek messages explain what the mustek backend
       is doing while the SCSI debugging shows the low level handling. If  you
       can't find out what's going on by checking the messages carefully, con-
       tact the sane-devel mailing list for help (see REPORTING BUGS below).

       Now that your scanner is found by scanimage -L, try to do a scan: scan-
       image  >image.pnm.   This command starts a scan for the default scanner
       with default settings. All the available options are listed by  running
       scanimage  --help.   If  scanning aborts with an error message, turn on
       debugging as mentioned above. Maybe the configuration file  needs  some
       tuning,  e.g.  to  setup  the path to a firmware that is needed by some
       scanners. See the backend's manual page for details. If you can't  find
       out what's wrong, contact sane-devel.

       To  check  that  the SANE libraries are installed correctly you can use
       the test backend, even if you  don't  have  a  scanner  or  other  SANE
       device:

              scanimage -d test -T

       You  should  get  a list of PASSed tests. You can do the same with your
       backend by changing "test" to your backend's name.

       So now scanning with scanimage works and you want to  use  one  of  the
       graphical  frontends  like  xsane, xscanimage, or quiteinsane but those
       frontends don't detect  your  scanner?  One  reason  may  be  that  you
       installed two versions of SANE.  E.g. the version that was installed by
       your distribution  in  /usr  and  one  you  installed  from  source  in
       /usr/local/.   Make  sure  that  only one version is installed. Another
       possible reason is, that your system's dynamic loader  can't  find  the
       SANE  libraries.  For  Linux,  make  sure that /etc/ld.so.conf contains
       /usr/local/lib and does not contain /usr/local/lib/sane.  See also  the
       documentation of the frontends.
