 Hi,
 <BR>
 <P>I had some trouble getting my scanner to work. I felt the need for
 <BR>
 a more techniical FAQ. So I reworked the faq I found on the web-site.
 <BR>
 <P>If you like it, send me some mail (<A HREF="mailto:ljm@xs4all.nl?Subject=Re:%20Faq%20-%20a%20proposition&In-Reply-To=&lt;393E2559.83DDC84A@xs4all.nl&gt;">ljm@xs4all.nl</A>). If I get enough

 .   Intro
 <BR>
 As I bought a scanner, I tried to connect it to my my Linux-machine. I
 <BR>
 wanted to use SANE, but it did not work. So I looked for a FAQ to help
 <BR>
 me with my problems. Allas, the FAQ did not answer my question. The
 <BR>
 Faq seems to focus on non-technical issues. Then I tried the mailing-
 <BR>
 list.
 <BR>
 This is a compilation of some questions I found in the mailing-list.
 <BR>
 I left out things that seemed (to me) less relevant for FAQ-users. I
 <BR>
 hope it's still usefull. I also shamelessly copyed the original sane-
 <BR>
 faq by Nicolas de Peslouan. I plan to update is irregulary, hopefully
 <BR>
 once a month. If there are corrections, errors etc, mail them to me
 <BR>
 (<A HREF="mailto:ljm@xs4all.nl?Subject=Re:%20Faq%20-%20a%20proposition&In-Reply-To=&lt;393E2559.83DDC84A@xs4all.nl&gt;">ljm@xs4all.nl</A>). Do not send me questions-only; all I did was go
 <BR>
 through the mailinglist.
 <BR>
 .1.      Thanks
 <BR>
 Many thanks go to the people that actually answer the questions, among
 <BR>
 others:Douglas Gilbert, Nicolas de Peslouan, Oliver Rauch, Bernd
 <BR>
 Schroeder  A complete list of contributers will apear in later
 <BR>
 versions. If you feel left out, send me a mail.
 <BR>
 .2.      Legal stuff
 <BR>
 Copyright ljm and others. You may copy this. No guarrantee's. etc.
 <BR>
 .3.      Completeness: How complete is this faq?
 <BR>
 Not.
 <BR>
 .   What is Sane
 <BR>
 .1.      What is SANE ?
 <BR>
 SANE stand for Scanner Access Now Easy. SANE is an API (Application
 <BR>
 Programming Interface) designed to provide access to scanners and
 <BR>
 other image retrieval hardware. See
 <BR>
 <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/intro.html">http://www.mostang.com/sane/intro.html</A> for more
 <BR>
 .2.      What is a SANE frontend ?
 <BR>
 A SANE frontend is an application program that use one or more SANE
 <BR>
 backends to access a scanner or camera. See
 <BR>
 <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-frontends.html">http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-frontends.html</A> for a list of
 <BR>
 currently available frontends.
 <BR>
 .3.      What is a SANE backend ?
 <BR>
 A SANE backend is a driver that handles requests coming from a
 <BR>
 frontend and translates them to low level requests before sending them
 <BR>
 to a scanner. The backend is also responsible for retrieving the
 <BR>
 scanned image from the scanner, and converting it to the correct
 <BR>
 format so that the frontend can handle it. Some backends support more
 <BR>
 than one scanner. To have your favorite scanner supported, you need to
 <BR>
 have a backend for this scanner. See <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane">http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane</A>-
 <BR>
 backends.html for a list of backends (and supported scanners).
 <BR>
 .4.      Is my-favorite-scanner supported by SANE ?
 <BR>
 First of all, see <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html">http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html</A> for a
 <BR>
 list of supported scanners. Note that some scanners are supported by a
 <BR>
 different backend than the one expected. (Manufacturer is not always
 <BR>
 the same as seller). If your scanner is not in this list but come from
 <BR>
 a manufacturer that build already supported scanners of the same type
 <BR>
 (SCSI, PARALLEL, USB, ...), try it anyway. If you have some success
 <BR>
 with this, please report it to <A HREF="mailto:sane-devel@mostang.com?Subject=Re:%20Faq%20-%20a%20proposition&In-Reply-To=&lt;393E2559.83DDC84A@xs4all.nl&gt;">sane-devel@mostang.com</A> ! (Read the man
 <BR>
 for the specific backend for help on how to enable extra debug
 <BR>
 output). Your scanner may be partially supported. (Only black/white,
 <BR>
 only 300 dpi, only 24 bits, ...).
 <BR>
 Warning : Testing a backend with an unsupported scanner *may* cause
 <BR>
 physical damages to the scanner. Read the documentation for more info,
 <BR>
 and if you want to try, keep one hand on the on/off switch :).
 <BR>
 <P><P>2.5.      Is my-favorite-SCSI-scanner supported by SANE ?
 <BR>
 Supporting SCSI scanners seems to be easier than other scanner types.
 <BR>
 This is due to the fact that SCSI scanners share a common set of
 <BR>
 commands (part of the SCSI II standard). Unfortunately, the way
 <BR>
 scanners support this common set of commands is far from universal.
 <BR>
 Also, each manufacturers have their own extension to this command set,
 <BR>
 even when there is already some commands in the standard to do the
 <BR>
 work... This is why your scanner may be partially supported. In order
 <BR>
 to support a given SCSI scanner, one need to get SOME specs (extension
 <BR>
 to the SCSI II standard) from the manufacturer.
 <BR>
 .6.       Is my-favorite-PARALLEL-scanner supported by SANE ?
 <BR>
 Supporting PARALLEL scanners is (really) harder than supporting SCSI
 <BR>
 scanners. First of all, you need to understand that each manufacturer
 <BR>
 (and sometime even each scanner) have their own command set. There is
 <BR>
 not such thing as a common set of commands as in SCSI. In order to
 <BR>
 support a given PARALLEL scanner, one need to obtain the FULL
 <BR>
 specification from the manufacturer. This is, in fact, the real
 <BR>
 obstacle to a more complete parallel scanner support, because many
 <BR>
 manufacturers won't give specs for their scanners.
 <BR>
 A good few parallel scanners work under Sane. These include a raft of
 <BR>
 HP and Epson models. Some other parallel scanners are also supported.
 <BR>
 For further details please see
 <BR>
 <A HREF="http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners.html">http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners.html</A>
 <BR>
 .7.      Is my-favorite-USB-scanner supported by SANE ?
 <BR>
 Supporting USB scanners is currently the hardest part of the job. The
 <BR>
 first thing to understand is that USB in general (not limited to
 <BR>
 scanners) is not supported on all operating system. Currently, no USB
 <BR>
 scanner is supported by SANE. Support for USB scanners in the future
 <BR>
 will depend on the general USB support by the operating system. Also,
 <BR>
 it will depend - as for SCSI or PARALLEL scanners - on the
 <BR>
 manufacturers willing to give the specs on request.
 <BR>
 <P>USB support for HP scanners under linux is reported as going rather
 <BR>
 well using the HP backend without any programming modifications.
 <BR>
 Granted the kernel development is still ongoing but is useable.
 <BR>
 Although not all HP scanners are supported, the higer end models are
 <BR>
 (4100, 5200, 6200, 6300). (David Nelson). You can find more info. at
 <BR>
 <A HREF="http://www.jump.net/~dnelson/linux/usb">http://www.jump.net/~dnelson/linux/usb</A>.
 <BR>
 .8.      Why is my-favorite-scanner NOT supported by SANE ?
 <BR>
 Probably because the manufacturer is NOT willing to give the
 <BR>
 programming specifications for this scanner. Some manufacturers are
 <BR>
 really thinking that their dirty and CPU greedy protocols have to stay
 <BR>
 secret... may be to avoid other starting laughing at their work !
 <BR>
 .9.      My scanner is &quot;TWAIN Compatible&quot;. Why isn't SANE &quot;TWAIN
 <BR>
 compatible&quot; ?
 <BR>
 This doesn't mean anything ! A scanner is NOT TWAIN compatible. The
 <BR>
 Windows driver provided with the scanner is probably TWAIN compatible,
 <BR>
 so that TWAIN compatible Windows applications can use them. The only
 <BR>
 way to have a scanner become TWAIN compatible under other OS would be
 <BR>
 to have a driver for this scanner that speaks TWAIN with the
 <BR>
 applications. But, there is no TWAIN compatible application outside
 <BR>
 the Windows and Mac world. SANE developers have chosen to use the SANE
 <BR>
 API instead of TWAIN for scanner access. See
 <BR>
 <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/intro.html">http://www.mostang.com/sane/intro.html</A> for a word about this. You can
 <BR>
 read a TWAIN FAQ, if you want, at
 <BR>
 <A HREF="http://www.MentorComputer.com/TWAIN/faq.html">http://www.MentorComputer.com/TWAIN/faq.html</A>.
 <BR>
 .10.     The backend for my-favorite-scanner is available, but for a
 <BR>
 different type (SCSI, PARALLEL, USB).Can I use a USB&lt;-&gt;PARALLEL /
 <BR>
 SCSI&lt;-&gt;PARALLEL convertor ?
 <BR>
 Nobody have reported any success with this. Even if the hardware look
 <BR>
 the same, the protocol used to exchange data between your computer and
 <BR>
 the scanner DOES look different.
 <BR>
 .11.     Is there any plan to add SANE support for my-favorite-
 <BR>
 unsupported-scanner ?
 <BR>
 Depending on the available documentation, there might be someone
 <BR>
 already working on a given scanner. Watch the sane-devel mailing list.
 <BR>
 There is some sort of &quot;black list&quot; of manufacturers who don't want to
 <BR>
 give away the specs. Supporting these manufacturers' scanners is far
 <BR>
 from easy, because one have to reverse engineering the Windows driver
 <BR>
 or listen on the PARALLEL/SCSI/USB cable... [There is some plan to add
 <BR>
 this black list to this FAQ.]
 <BR>
 .12.     How can I help ?
 <BR>
 In several ways :
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> You can start bothering the manufacturers for the specs. One more
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;letter is NEVER a loose of time ! [Someone is currently writing a
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;template letter to request the specs. It will be included here when
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;available.]
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> You can start writing a backend. To avoid duplicate job, ask on the
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;sane-devel mailing list before. [Any plan to build an HOWTO about
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;writing a backend ?]
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> You can test and report any success / troubles with the backends /
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;frontends.
 <BR>
 .13.     How can I access a SANE backend from Windows throught the
 <BR>
 network ?
 <BR>
 This is a work in progress. A Windows TWAIN to SANE translator exists.
 <BR>
 From the sane developing mailing list, here is an announce from Arun
 <BR>
 Tanksali:
 <BR>
 A simple but functional interface (WinSANE) is available for download.
 <BR>
 I have tested with a Mustek 1200 scanner. Tested with Win 95/98 PCs.
 <BR>
 Seems to work OK.
 <BR>
 Download site: <A HREF="http://www.integramicro.com/winsane">http://www.integramicro.com/winsane</A>
 <BR>
 Also, you can use sanecgi which wraps the text based frontend
 <BR>
 (scanimage) into a cgi perl script. For a running demo, try
 <BR>
 <A HREF="http://sps.spa.umn.edu/~hansf/sanecgi/scanner.html">http://sps.spa.umn.edu/~hansf/sanecgi/scanner.html</A>.
 <BR>
 .14.     How can I access a scanner connected to a Windows box from a
 <BR>
 SANE frontend throught the network ?
 <BR>
 TWAIN is not designed to allow such intelligent behavior
 <BR>
 .15.     Mailing-list
 <BR>
 There is a sanedeveloppers mailinglist. The sane-people are very nice
 <BR>
 and will help with almost anything. Keep in mind though, that they're
 <BR>
 not paid to do this. Subscribe to sane-devel@mostang.com.
 <BR>
 <P><P>3.   Buying a scanner
 <BR>
 Many advices have been given on which scanner to buy. There seem to be
 <BR>
 some general criteria:
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> Do you just want to scan or do you want to work on the backends as
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;well. If you just want to scan: take a SCSI-scanner that is
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;supported. I recomend UMAX or HP, because they have made
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;programmingspecs available. If you want to work on the backend,
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;take a scanner with sufficient documentation
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> What do you want to scan: just images or transparancies, film etc?
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> What are your requirements for the images: just 'nice pictures' or
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;photoquality? For photoquality you'll need at least 1200 dpi.
 <BR>
 .   How do I install
 <BR>
 .1.      Where can I download SANE ?
 <BR>
 Depending on you computer knowledge, you'd better download the sources
 <BR>
 for SANE or a prebuilt binary. Up-to-date SANE sources and (more or
 <BR>
 less) up-to-date binaries for several platform are available at
 <BR>
 <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/source.html">http://www.mostang.com/sane/source.html</A>. Please, try to use a mirror
 <BR>
 site near you instead of ftp.mostang.com
 <BR>
 Do not forget to download the bacend for your favorite scanner!
 <BR>
 .2.      OK, I downloaded the stuff. What's next?
 <BR>
 Unpack the stuff:
 <BR>
 tar -xvzf sane-1.0.2.tgz
 <BR>
 If you have a separate backend: unpack it also (often the same way)
 <BR>
 Go to the sane directory (cd sane-1.0.2) and type ``./configure''.
 <BR>
 When it finnishes, cd to the back-end directory and read the README-
 <BR>
 filesThey should tell you what todo.
 <BR>
 Go back to the sane-dir. and type ``make''. Enjoy the compile
 <BR>
 (especially all the warnings, but who am I to complain?).
 <BR>
 Su to root (you weren't compiling all the stuff as root I hope? If you
 <BR>
 were: read some books about security). Type ``make install''.
 <BR>
 Goto the tools-directory and run find-scanner -v
 <BR>
 .3.      I can't compile SANE on my-favorite-OS. What can I do ?
 <BR>
 First of all, have you checked that SANE is available for your
 <BR>
 platform in the supported platforms list ? (SANE is NOT currently
 <BR>
 available for Windows platforms). You'd better try the latest
 <BR>
 available version.
 <BR>
 You may need to download and/or build some external programs or
 <BR>
 libraries to compile some parts of SANE. Have a look at the README
 <BR>
 file in the SANE distribution for more. You'd better use the latest
 <BR>
 versions of those external programs/libraries, unless the README file
 <BR>
 request a particular version.
 <BR>
 On some platforms, you may need to use a particular version of make or
 <BR>
 of the C compiler.
 <BR>
 .4.      compiling sane aborts with error &quot;virtual memory exhausted&quot;
 <BR>
 on slackware linux with gcc. What goes wrong?
 <BR>
 The optimization set by &quot;-O2&quot; makes problems, try which one of the
 <BR>
 following  calls work:
 <BR>
 make CFLAGS=&quot;-g -Wall -O1&quot;
 <BR>
 make CFLAGS=&quot;-g -Wall -O&quot;
 <BR>
 make CFLAGS=&quot;-g -Wall&quot;
 <BR>
 .   It doesn't work
 <BR>
 .1.      It does not work.
 <BR>
 OK. Don't panick.
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> First thing to do is get the latest version of sane and the
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;backend. Sane develops relatively fast, and it might be that your
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;problem is already fixed.
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> Check the boot-messages (/var/adm/messages); there should be some
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;lines indicating your scanner (something like: Vendor: AGFA Model:
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;SnapScan Rev: 1.40, Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02). If not:
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;goto the SCSI-section in this FAQ
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> cat /proc/scsi/scsi. Your scanner must be there. If not: goto the
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;SCSI-section.
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> Run a ``find-scanner''
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD>  ls -l /dev/sga /dev/sg0 /dev/scanner
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> sgcheck
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> scanimage
 <BR>
 .2.      I compiled SANE, but my scanner doesn't show in the device
 <BR>
 list. Do I need extra setup ?
 <BR>
 Depending on your platform/scanner, you will need time for a coffee, a
 <BR>
 pizza or an extra month of holiday :
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> We already told that, but ensure your scanner is in the supported
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;scanner list.
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> If your scanner is SCSI, check that the SCSI card is supported by
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;your OS. You may need to rebuild your kernel to add generic SCSI
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;support.
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> If your scanner is SCSI, your SCSI card often display SCSI device
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;on startup. If not, check cables and terminators.
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> If your scanner is SCSI, some operating system display available
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;SCSI device on startup. Again, if not, check cables and
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;terminators.
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> Read more documentations (SANE, backend for your scanner, frontend,
 <BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;SCSI card, scanner, ...).
 <BR>
 <EFBFBD> Ask in the sane-devel mailing list.
 <BR>
 .3.      Permissions
 <BR>
 Anyone scanning must have read and write permissions on the scanner-
 <BR>
 device.
 <BR>
 .4.      Sane hangs or crashes when I start a frontend for sane, what
 <BR>
 can I do?
 <BR>
 Sometimes the backends that are not used make problems. Edit
 <BR>
 /usr/(local)/etc/sane.d/dll.conf  and comment out everything but the
 <BR>
 backend you need.
 <BR>
 .5.      Does SANE and the umax backend work on LinuxPPC / big endian
 <BR>
 machine ?
 <BR>
 There are people using the sane-umax on a LinuxPPC (big endian)
 <BR>
 machine.  Other people write that they can not scan on a LinuxPPC. It
 <BR>
 looks like this is a problem with the driver of the scsi card. The
 <BR>
 &quot;MESH&quot; SCSI card is reported to work. The NCR53C94 SCSI card seems not
 <BR>
 to work.
 <BR>
 .6.      I am using an AM53C974 based scsi card with a umax scanner,
 <BR>
 the system freezes when I start a scan, what can I do?
 <BR>

 .2.1.    It gives a line: &quot;model 0x53 not supported&quot; (or other

 <BR>
 the microtek2.conf file and post the contents of the inquiry block to
 <BR>

 .3.      UMAX
 <BR>
 .3.1.    I can't get the scanner to work with the SCSI-interface that
