sane-kodak - SANE backend for big Kodak flatbed and ADF scanners
|
|
<P>

|
|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>sane-kodak</B>
|
|
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which
|
|
provides access to large Kodak flatbed and ADF scanners.
|
|
<P>
|
|
This document describes backend version 7, which shipped with SANE 1.0.21.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<A NAME="lbAD"> </A>
|
|
<H2>SUPPORTED HARDWARE</H2>
|
|
|
|
This version should support models which speak the Kodak SCSI and Firewire
|
|
protocols. The i1860 was used to develop the backend, but other models may
|
|
work with only minimal modifications. Please see the list at
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html">http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html</A> for an updated list.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you have a machine not on that list, or reported as 'untested': the best way
|
|
to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly, or to collect a
|
|
trace of the windows driver in action. Please contact the author for help or
|
|
with test results.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE</H2>
|
|
|
|
Most of the recent Kodak consumer or workgroup level machines are based on
|
|
other chipsets and are not supported by this backend. Some of these scanners
|
|
may be supported by another backend.
|
|
<P>

|
|
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
Effort has been made to expose the basic hardware options, including:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
source s
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="1"><DD>
|
|
Selects the source for the scan. Options
|
|
may include "Flatbed", "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex".
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
mode m
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="2"><DD>
|
|
Selects the mode for the scan. Options
|
|
may include "Lineart", "Halftone", "Gray", and "Color".
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
resolution
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="3"><DD>
|
|
Controls scan resolution. Available choices may be limited by mode.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
tl-x, tl-y, br-x, br-y
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="4"><DD>
|
|
Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are renamed
|
|
t, l, x, y by some frontends.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
page-width, page-height
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="5"><DD>
|
|
Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan
|
|
coordinates when using ADF and to detect double feed errors.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scanner.
|
|
Use 'scanimage --help' to get a list, but be aware that some options may
|
|
be settable only when another option has been set, and that advanced options
|
|
may be hidden by some frontend programs.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<H2>CONFIGURATION FILE</H2>
|
|
|
|
The configuration file "kodak.conf" is used to tell the backend how to look
|
|
for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the backend.
|
|
This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for a list
|
|
of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the configuration
|
|
file is missing, the backend will use a set of compiled defaults, which
|
|
are identical to the default configuration file shipped with SANE.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 2 ways:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
"scsi KODAK"
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="6"><DD>
|
|
Requests backend to search all scsi busses in the system for a device
|
|
which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'KODAK'.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
"scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file)
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="7"><DD>
|
|
Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if you have
|
|
multiple compatible scanners connected to your system, and need to
|
|
specify one. Probably should not be used with the other "scsi" line above.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The only configuration option supported is "buffer-size=xxx", allowing you
|
|
to set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other than the
|
|
compiled-in default, 32768 (32K). Some users report that their scanner will
|
|
"hang" mid-page, or fail to transmit the image if the buffer is not large
|
|
enough.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Note: This option may appear multiple times in the configuration file. It only
|
|
applies to scanners discovered by 'scsi/usb' lines that follow this option.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some users
|
|
required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not recommended,
|
|
and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You have been
|
|
warned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<A NAME="lbAH"> </A>
|
|
<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2>
|
|
|
|
The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_KODAK, which
|
|
enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:

<H2>KNOWN ISSUES</H2>
|
|
|
|
Most hardware options are either not supported or not exposed for control by
|
|
the user, including: multifeed detection, image compression, autocropping,
|
|
endorser, iThresholding, multi-stream, etc.
