sane-sm3840(5) SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-sm3840(5)
NAME
sane-sm3840 - SANE backend for Microtek scanners with SCAN08 USB chip
DESCRIPTION
The sane-sm3840 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
backend that provides access to some Microtek scanners with the SCAN08
USB chip.
There exist backends for Microtek scanners with SCSI command set. Re-
fer to sane-microtek(5) and sane-microtek2(5) for details.
There also exists a Microtek 3600 series driver, see sane-sm3600(5) for
details.
At present, the following scanners are known positively to work with
this backend:
Vendor Product ID: Remark:
-------- -------------- -----------
Microtek ScanMaker 3840 All modes OK
Microtek ScanMaker 4800 All modes OK
If you own a Microtek scanner with the SCAN08 chip other than the ones
listed above, it may or may not work with SANE. Feel free to contact
the backend author (earle@ziplabel.com) to report results with scanners
not on the list.
FRONTEND OPTIONS
The following options are supported by the sm3840-driver:
--mode color|gray|lineart|halftone
Color or grayscale mode.
--resolution 150|300|600|1200
Pixels per inch for scans.
--depth 8|16
Note that the least significant bits of 16bpp mode may be noise.
--brightness 1..4096
Higher numbers increase brightness of returned image.
--contrast 0.1..9.9
Larger numbers decrease contrast of returned image.
--lamp-timeout 1..15
Time in minutes until the lamp is turned off after a scan.
CONFIGURATION
This backend does not support a configuration file right now.
FILES
@LIBDIR@/libsane-sm3840.a
The static library implementing this backend.
@LIBDIR@/libsane-sm3840.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
that support dynamic loading).
ENVIRONMENT
SANE_DEBUG_SM3840
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en-
vironment 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. To see error messages on stderr
set SANE_DEBUG_SM3840 to 1.
