sane-st400 - SANE backend for Siemens ST/Highscan flatbed scanners
|

<A NAME="lbAC"> </A>
|
|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>sane-st400</B>
|
|
|
|
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
|
|
provides access to Siemens ST400 flatbed scanners and compatibles.
|
|
At present, the following scanners are supported by this backend:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="1"><DD>
|
|
Siemens ST400 (6 bit gray scale)
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
Siemens ST800 (6 bit gray scale)
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The driver supports line art and gray scans up to 8bpp.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The Siemens ST/Highscan series includes several more models, e.g. the ST300
|
|
and ST600. If you own one of these scanners, or a scanner other than the
|
|
ones listed above that works with this backend, please let us know by sending
|
|
the scanner's model name, SCSI ID, and firmware revision to
|
|
<I><A HREF="mailto:sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net">sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net</A></I>.

<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2>
|
|
|
|
This backend expects device names of the form:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="2"><DD>
|
|
<I>special</I>
|
|
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Where
|
|
<I>special</I>
|
|
|
|
is either the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a
|
|
SCSI scanner. For SCSI scanners, the special device name must be a
|
|
generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device. Under Linux, such
|
|
a device name could be
|
|
<I>/dev/sga</I>
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
<I>/dev/sge</I>,
|
|
|
|
for example. See <A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+sane-scsi">sane-scsi</A>(5) for details.

<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The contents of the
|
|
<I>st400.conf</I>
|
|
|
|
file is a list of device names that correspond to Siemens
|
|
scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
|
|
ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below:
|
|

</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The default configuration file that is distributed with SANE looks like
|
|
this:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="4"><DD>
|
|
scsi SIEMENS "ST 400" Scanner * * 3 0
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
In this configuration, the driver can only access the ST400 model
|
|
at SCSI ID 3 LUN 0 (see section "BUGS" below for the reason).
|
|
To use the driver with other scanner models, add an appropriate line to
|
|
the configuration file. For example, to use it with an ST800 at SCSI
|
|
ID 3 LUN 0, add the line:
|
|

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
|
|
directory (".") and then in /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
|
|
directories. For example, setting
|
|
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B>
|
|
|
|
to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
|
|
"/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).

|
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.

<H2>BUGS</H2>

|
|
Currently, the backend does not check if the attached device really is
|
|
a ST400. It will happily accept everything that matches the configuration
|
|
entries. This makes it easy to test the backend with other scanners:
|
|
Just add an appropriate line to the configuration file. The configuration
|
|
file as distributed (see above) only works with the ST400. Be careful:
|
|
If there is no config file at all, the backend defaults to /dev/scanner.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The ST400 answers on all eight SCSI LUNs. Normally this is not a problem,
|
|
as LUN support is usually disabled in SCSI drivers, but if you are seeing
|
|
multiple instances of the scanner in a device list, either disable LUNs in
|
|
your SCSI setup or change the entry in the configuration file to match
|
|
LUN 0 only.

<H2>DEBUG</H2>
|

|
|
If you encounter a bug please set the environment variable
|
|
SANE_DEBUG_ST400 to 128 and try to regenerate the problem. Then
|
|
send me a report with the log attached.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If you encounter a SCSI bus error or trimmed and/or displaced images please
|
|
also set the environment variable SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI to 128 before sending
|
|
me the report.
