<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
The <B>sane-epson</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
|
|
backend that provides access to Epson flatbed scanners. Some functions
|
|
of this backend should be considered <B>beta-quality</B> software! Most func-
|
|
tions have been stable for a long time, but of course new development
|
|
can not and often times will not function properly from the very first
|
|
day. Please report any strange behavior to the maintainer of the back-
|
|
end.
|
|
|
|
At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend:

|
<H2>OPTIONS</H2><PRE>
|
|
The options the backend supports can either be selected through command
|
|
line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI elements in pro-
|
|
grams like xscanimage or xsane.
|
|
|
|
Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
|
|
scanimage --help -d epson
|
|
Not all devices support all options.
|
|
|
|
<I>Scan</I> <I>Mode</I>
|
|
The <I>--mode</I> switch selects the basic mode of operation of the
|
|
scanner. Valid choices are Binary, Gray and Color. The Binary
|
|
mode is black and white only, Gray will produce 256 levels of
|
|
gray or more depending on the scanner and Color means 24 bit
|
|
color mode or more depending on the scanner. Some scanners will
|
|
internally use 36 bit color, their external interface however
|
|
may only support 24 bits.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--depth</I> option selects the bit depth the scanner is using.
|
|
This option is only available for scanners that support more
|
|
than one bit depth. Older scanners will always transfer the
|
|
image in 8bit mode. Newer scanners allow to select either 8
|
|
bits, 12 or 14 bits per color channel. For a color scan this
|
|
means an effective color depth of 36 or 42 bits over all three
|
|
channels. The valid choices depend on the scanner model.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--halftoning</I> switch selects the mode that is used in Binary
|
|
mode. Valid options are "None", "Halftone A (Hard Tone)",
|
|
"Halftone B (Soft Tone)", "Halftone C (Net Screen)", "Dither A
|
|
(4x4 Bayer)", "Dither B (4x4 Spiral)", "Dither C (4x4 Net
|
|
Screen)", "Dither D (8x4 Net Screen)", "Text Enhanced Technol-
|
|
ogy", "Download pattern A", and "Download pattern B".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--dropout</I> switch selects the so called dropout color. Vald
|
|
options are None, Red, Green and Blue. The default is None. The
|
|
dropout color is used for monochrome scanning and selects the
|
|
color that is not scanned. This can be used to e.g. scan an
|
|
original with a colored background.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--brightness</I> switch controls the brightness of the scan.
|
|
Valid options are integer values from -3 to 3. The default is 0.
|
|
The larger the brightness value, the brighter the image gets. If
|
|
a user defined table for the gamma correction is selected, the
|
|
brightness parameter is not available.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--sharpness</I> switch sets the sharpness of the image data.
|
|
Valid options are integer values from -2 to 2, with -2 meaning
|
|
"Defocus", -1 "Defocus slightly", 0 "Normal", 1 "Sharpen
|
|
slighly" and 2 "Sharpen".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--gamma-correction</I> switch controls the scanner's internal
|
|
gamma correction. Valid options are "Default", "User defined",
|
|
"High density printing" "Low density printing" and "High con-
|
|
trast printing".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--color-correction</I> switch controls the scanner's internal
|
|
color correction function. Valid options are "No Correction",
|
|
"Impact-dot printers", "Thermal printers", "Ink-jet printers"
|
|
and "CRT monitors". The default is "CRT monitors".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--resolution</I> switch selects the resolution for a scan. Some
|
|
EPSON scanners will scan in any resulution between the lowest
|
|
and highest possible value. The list reported by the scanner can
|
|
be displayed using the "--help -d epson" parameters to scanim-
|
|
age.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--mirror</I> option controls the way the image is scanned. By
|
|
reading the image data from right to left the image is mirored.
|
|
Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "no".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--speed</I> option can improve the scan speed in monochrome
|
|
mode. Valid options are "yes" or "no", the "yes" option will
|
|
speed up the scan if this option is supported.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--auto-area-segmentation</I> switch activates the automatic area
|
|
segmentation for monochrome scans. The scanner will try to
|
|
determine which areas are text and which contain images. The
|
|
image areas will be halftoned, and the text will be impoved.
|
|
Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "yes".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--gamma-table</I> parameter can be used to download a user
|
|
defined gamma table. The option takes 256 values from the range
|
|
0-255. In color mode this option equally affects the red, green,
|
|
and blue channel.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--red-gamma-table</I> parameter can be used to download a user
|
|
defined gamma table for the red channel. The valid options are
|
|
the same as for --gamma-table.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--green-gamma-table</I> parameter can be used to download a user
|
|
defined gamma table for the green channel. The valid options are
|
|
the same as for --gamma-table.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--blue-gamma-table</I> parameter can be used to download a user
|
|
defined gamma table for the blue channel. The valid options are
|
|
the same as for --gamma-table.
|
|
|
|
The color correction coefficients <I>--cct-1</I> <I>--cct-2</I> <I>--cct-3</I> <I>...</I>
|
|
<I>--cct-9</I> will install color correction coefficients for the user
|
|
defined color correction. Values are specified as integers in
|
|
the range -127..127.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--preview</I> option requests a preview scan. The frontend soft-
|
|
ware automatically selects a low resolution. Valid options are
|
|
"yes" and "no". The default is "no".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--preview-speed</I> options will increase the scan speed if this
|
|
is supported by the scanner. Valid options are "yes" and "no",
|
|
the default is "no".
|
|
|
|
The geometry options <I>-l</I> <I>-t</I> <I>-x</I> <I>-y</I> control the scan area: -l sets
|
|
the top left x coordinate, -t the top left y coordinate, -x
|
|
selects the width and -y the height of the scan aea. All parame-
|
|
ters are specified in milimeters.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--quick-format</I> option lets the user select a scan area with
|
|
predefined sizes. Valid parameters are "CD", "A5 portrait", "A5
|
|
landscape", "Letter", "A4" and "max". The default is "max",
|
|
which selects the largest possible area.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--source</I> option selects the scan source. Valid options
|
|
depend on the installed options. The default is "Flatbed".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--auto-eject</I> option will eject a page after scanning from
|
|
the document feeder.
|
|
|
|
The <I>--film-type</I> option will select the film type for scans with
|
|
the transparency unit. This option is only activated if the TPU
|
|
is selected as scan source. Valid options are "Negative Film"
|
|
and "Positive Film".
|
|
|
|
The <I>--focus-position</I> option selects the focus position for all
|
|
scans. Valid options are "Focus 2.5mm above glass" and "Focus on
|
|
glass". The focus on the 2.5mm point above the glass is neces-
|
|
sary for scans with the transparency unit, so that the scanner
|
|
can focus on the film if one of the film holders is used. This
|
|
option is only functional for selected scanners, all other scan-
|
|
ners will ignore this option.

|
<H2>CONFIGURATION FILE</H2><PRE>
|
|
The configuration file /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf specifies the
|
|
device(s) that the backend will use. Possible connection types are:
|
|
|
|
<I>SCSI</I> This is the default, and if nothing else is specified the back-
|
|
end software will open a given path as SCSI device. More infor-
|
|
mation about valid syntax for SCSI devices can be found in sane-
|
|
<B><A HREF="scsi.5.html">scsi(5)</A></B>.
|
|
|
|
<I>PIO</I> <I>-</I> <I>Parallel</I> <I>Interface</I>
|
|
The parallel interface can be configured in two ways: An integer
|
|
value starting at the beginning of a line will be interpreted as
|
|
the IO address of the parallel port. To make it clearer that a
|
|
configured IO address is a parallel port the port address can be
|
|
preceded by the string "PIO". The PIO connection does not use a
|
|
special device file in the /dev directory. The IO address can be
|
|
specified in hex mode (prefixed with "0x").
|
|
|
|
<I>USB</I> A device file that is preceded by the string "USB" is treated as
|
|
a scanner connected via the Universal Serial Bus. The correct
|
|
special device file has to be created prior to using it with
|
|
Sane. See the USB documentation for more information about how
|
|
to set up the USB subsystem and the required device files.

|
|
<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE>
|
|
<B>SANE_DEBUG_EPSON</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.
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_EPSON_CMD_LVL</B>
|
|
This allows to override the function or command level that the
|
|
backend uses to communicate with the scanner. The function level
|
|
a scanner supports is determined during the initialization of
|
|
the device. If the backend does not recognize the function level
|
|
reported by the scanner it will default to function level B5.
|
|
Valid function levels are A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7,
|
|
B8, D1 and F5. Use this feature only if you know what you are
|
|
doing!

<H2>UNSUPPORTED DEVICES</H2><PRE>
|
|
The backend may be used with Epson scanners that are not yet listed
|
|
under the list of supported devices. A scanner that is not recognized
|
|
may default to the function level B3, which means that not all func-
|
|
tions that the scanner may be capable of are accessible.
|
|
|
|
If the scanner is not even recognized as an Epson scanner this is prob-
|
|
ably because the device name reported by the scanner is not in the cor-
|
|
rect format. Please send this information to the backend maintainer
|
|
(email address is in the AUTHOR section of this man page or in the
|
|
AUTHORS file of the SANE distribution).
|
|
|
|
The Perfection 600, Perfection 650, Perfection 660, Perfection 1250 and
|
|
Perfection 1260 are not supported by this backend.
