<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>sane-artec</B>
|
|
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend
|
|
that provides access to Artec/Ultima SCSI flatbed scanners. At present,
|
|
the following scanners are known to work at least partially with this backend:

The contents of the
|
|
<I>artec.conf</I>
|
|
|
|
file are a list of device names that
|
|
correspond to Artec scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a
|
|
hash mark (#) are ignored. See
|
|
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+sane-scsi">sane-scsi</A>(5)</I>
|
|
|
|
on details of what constitutes a valid device name.

# now a line that actually specifies a device. The backend is going to

|
|
# once we hit a scanner device line, the forced vendor and model

<H2>SCSI ADAPTER TIPS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Some Artec scanners come with an included SCSI adapter. If your scanner came
|
|
with a DTC ISA scsi cards, you can probably use it with recent (>= 2.2.0)
|
|
kernels using the generic NCR5380 support. You must pass the following
|
|
boot argument to the kernel: "dtc3181e=0x2c0,0"
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
I do not have any information on the PCI SCSI adapter included with some
|
|
newer Artec scanners.

<DD>
|
|
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 configuration file is
|
|
searched in two default directories: first, the current working direc-
|
|
tory (".") and then in @CONFIGDIR@. If the value of the
|
|
environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then
|
|
the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified
|
|
directories. For example, setting
|
|
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B>
|
|
|
|
to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
|
|
"@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).

|
<DT id="7"><B>SANE_DEBUG_ARTEC</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
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:
|
|
SANE_DEBUG_ARTEC values

<H2>BUGS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Known bugs in this release: A6000C+ users with firmware v1.92 or
|
|
earlier have problems with the backend, the cause has not been determined.
|
|
Sometimes the backend is not particularly robust, you can possibly lock up
|
|
the SCSI bus (and/or machine) by not having patience enough when scanning.
|
|
3-channel gamma correction is not implemented and single-channel gamma
|
|
correction is not totally working on models other than the AT3.
