<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
sane-umax_pp - SANE backend for Umax Astra parallel port flatbed scan-
ners
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <B>sane-umax_pp</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
backend that provides access to Umax parallel port flatbed scanners.
The following scanners work with this backend:
Model:
--------------------
Astra 1220P
HP3200C
Astra 1600P
Astra 2000P
This backend handles 75x75, 150x150, 300x300, 600x600 and 600x1200 dpi
scan resolutions, in color and gray levels. There is a software lineart
mode.
These scanners share the same ASIC. Only parts such as CCD and ADC
change from one to another. They even all reports being UMAX Astra
1220P via IEEE1284. There isn't software way to recognize them prop-
erly. Under windows, model is set by the driver installed, regardless
of the hardware.
<B>EPP</B> <B>MODE</B> <B>ONLY</B>
The current version of the backend use only EPP mode to communi-
cate with the scanner. PS/2 and SPP mode aren't implemented. It
is recommended that you set your parallel port to EPP in BIOS
with the current version of this backend. ECPEPP will only work
if you use a 2.4 kernel with ppdev character device support.
This backend does support parport sharing only <I>if</I> <I>you</I> <I>have</I> <I>a</I> <I>kernel</I>
<I>with</I> <I>ppdev</I> <I>support.</I>
Note that if you don't use the ppdev character device, the backend
needs to run as root. To allow user access to the scanner run the back-
end through the network interface (See <B><A HREF="saned.1.html">saned(1)</A></B> and <B><A HREF="sane-net.5.html">sane-net(5)</A></B>). A
more relaxed solution (security wise) is to add suid bit to the fron-
tend (See <B><A HREF="chmod.1.html">chmod(1)</A></B>). The backend drop root priviledges as soon as it
can, right after gaining direct access to IO ports, which lessen risks
when being root.
</PRE>
<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
This backend expects device names of the form:
<I>port</I> <I>value</I>
Where <B>value</B> is the base address, or the ppdev device name of the port
your scanner is attached to. Known ports are <B>0x378</B>, <B>0x278</B> and <B>0x3BC</B> .
Or the name of the parallel port character device user interface, such
as /dev/parport0 for the linux ppdev, or /dev/ppi0 for FreeBSD ppi.
Under linux, if you are not sure which port your scanner is connected
to, may have a look at your /etc/modules.conf. Also typing dmesg|grep
parport in a command shell should show you a line like:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COM-
PAT,ECP,DMA]
telling you about port address and mode.
If you are using the linux ppdev character device, you will have to
specify the device name, which is /dev/parport0 for the first parallel
port. Check the permissions on /dev/paraport0, many linux distributions
restrict them for root only access. Get sure they are like:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 0 mai 20 2002 /dev/parport0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 1 mai 20 2002 /dev/parport1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 2 mai 20 2002 /dev/parport2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 3 mai 20 2002 /dev/parport3
The same apply with the /dev/ppi0 character device under FreeBSD.
You can rename any device using the
<I>name</I> <I>devname</I>
<I>model</I> <I>model</I>
<I>vendor</I> <I>vendor</I>
options. These options apply to the last port option.
</PRE>
<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
Please make sure to edit umax_pp.conf <B>before</B> you use the backend.
The contents of the <B>umax_pp.conf</B> file is a list of options and device
names that correspond to Umax scanners. Empty lines and lines starting
with a hash mark (#) are ignored.
The height options supported are <B>red-brightness</B>, <B>green-brightness</B>,
<B>blue-brightness</B>, <B>red-contrast</B>, <B>green-contrast</B>, <B>blue-contrast</B>, <B>astra</B>,
and <B>buffer</B>.
Options <B>red-brightness</B> , <B>green-brightness</B> and <B>blue-brightness</B> allow you
to adjust the sensitivy of your scanner for the given color. Values
range from 0 (lowest brightness) to 15 (highest). If the advanced
option "Brightness" isn't checked in the frontend, the backend does
automatic brightness calibration, and do not use user provided values.
Options <B>red-contrast</B> , <B>green-contrast</B> and <B>blue-contrast</B> allow you to
adjust the contrast of your scanner for the given color. Values range
from 0 (lowest contrast) to 15 (highest).
Option <B>astra</B> allows you to change the model of your scanner. Current
auto detection is based on side effects on scanning when using 1220P
command set on other models, so it may fail on unkown hardware combina-
tion. Valid values are 1220, 1600 and 2000. It is usefull only when
autodetection fails to detect properly your scanner model. If your
scanner work properly but is reported wrongly, let it be that way. The
only valid case to change the model is when your scanner produces
'black' or
'inverted' scans. In this case you can put the model. Be aware that
it will prevent autodetection.
Option <B>buffer</B> allows you to change the size of the scan buffer. The
size must be specified in bytes. The default value is 2 megabytes.
Decreasing this value will improve the progress status reporting in the
frontend, but will stall the scan more often.

<H2>FILES</H2><PRE>
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax</I><B>_</B><I>pp.conf</I>
The backend configuration file (see also description of
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> below).
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-umax</I><B>_</B><I>pp.a</I>
The static library implementing this backend.
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-umax</I><B>_</B><I>pp.so</I>
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
that support dynamic loading).
</PRE>
<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
/usr/local/etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable
ends with the directory separator character, then the default
directories are searched after the explicitly specified directo-
ries. For example, setting <B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> to "/tmp/config:"
would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
"/usr/local/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
<B>SANE_DEBUG_UMAX_PP</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.
level debug output
------- ------------------------------
0 nothing
1 errors
2 warnings &amp; minor errors
3 additional information
4 debug information
5 code flow (not supported yet)
6 special debug information
<B>SANE_DEBUG_UMAX_PP_LOW</B>
This variable sets the debug level for the SANE interface for
the Umax ASIC. Note that enabling this will spam your terminal
with some million lines of debug output.

<H2>BUG REPORTS</H2><PRE>
If something doesn't work, please contact me. But I need some informa-
tion about your scanner to be able to help you...
<I>SANE</I> <I>version</I>
run "scanimage -V" to determine this
<I>the</I> <I>backend</I> <I>version</I> <I>and</I> <I>your</I> <I>scanner</I> <I>hardware</I>
run "SANE_DEBUG_UMAX=255 scanimage -L 2&gt;log" as root. If you
don't get any output from the umax_pp backend, make sure a line
"umax_pp" is included into your /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf.
If your scanner isn't detected, make sure you've defined the
right port address, or the correct device in your umax_pp.conf.
<I>the</I> <I>name</I> <I>of</I> <I>your</I> <I>scanner/vendor</I>
also a worthy information. Please also include the optical reso-
lution and lamp type of your scanner, both can be found in the
manual of your scanner.
<I>any</I> <I>further</I> <I>comments</I>
if you have comments about the documentation (what could be done
better), or you think I should know something, please include
it.
