This library supports +a similar set of scanners as the sane\-epson driver but was +developed to support a wider range of connections to the scanner; +include network access. +.PP +Because +.B sane\-epson +and +.B sane\-epson2 +drivers support many of the same devices, if one +driver gives you problems you may try disabling it to try the other. +This can be done by removing the driver name from the +.I dll.conf +or perhaps by commenting out the options in +.I epson.conf +or +.I epson2.conf. +.PP +At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend: +.PP +.RS +.ft CR +.nf +Model: Connection Type +--------------------------- ------------------- +ActionScanner II SCSI, parallel +AcuLaser CX11 Series USB, Network +AcuLaser CX21 Series USB, Network +CX-3200 USB +CX-3600 USB +CX-3650 USB +CX-4050 USB +CX-4600 USB +CX-4800 USB +CX-5000 USB +CX-5200 USB +CX-5400 USB +CX-6300 USB +CX-6400 USB +CX-6500 USB +CX-6600 USB +DX-3800 USB +DX-5000 USB +DX-5050 USB +DX-6000 USB +DX-7400 USB +ES-300C SCSI, parallel +ES-300GS SCSI +ES-600C parallel +ES-1200C parallel +Expression 636 SCSI +Expression 800 SCSI +Expression 1600 USB, SCSI, IEEE-1394 +Expression 1680 USB, SCSI, IEEE-1394 +FilmScan 200 SCSI +GT-5000 SCSI, parallel +GT-5500 SCSI +GT-6000 parallel +GT-6500 parallel +GT-7000 SCSI +GT-8000 SCSI +GT-8500 SCSI +Perfection 610 USB +Perfection 636S SCSI +Perfection 636U USB +Perfection 640 USB +Perfection 1200S SCSI +Perfection 1200U USB +Perfection 1240 USB, SCSI +Perfection 1640 USB, SCSI +Perfection 1650 USB +Perfection 1660 USB +Perfection 2400 USB +Perfection 2450 USB, IEEE-1394 +Perfection 3200 USB +Perfection 4870 USB +Perfection 4990 USB +RX-425 USB +RX-500 USB +RX-600 USB +RX-700 USB +V700 USB, IEEE-1394 +V750 USB, IEEE-1394 +.fi +.ft R +and many more. The official list is on the Sane web site. +.RE + +For other scanners the software may or may not work. Please send mail to +the sane-backend mailing list to report success with scanners not on +the list or problems with scanners that are listed. +.SH OPTIONS +The options the backend supports can either be selected through command line +options to programs like +.BR scanimage (1) +or through GUI elements in programs like +.BR xscanimage (1) +or +.BR xsane (1). + +Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using +.PP +.RS +scanimage \-\-help \-d epson2 +.RE +.PP +Not all devices support all options. +.TP +.I Scan Mode +The +.B \-\-mode +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 +.B \-\-depth +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 one 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 +.B \-\-halftoning +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 Technology", +"Download pattern A", and "Download pattern B". + +The +.B \-\-dropout +switch selects the so called dropout color. Valid 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 +.B \-\-brightness +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 +.B \-\-sharpness +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 slightly" and 2 "Sharpen". + +The +.B \-\-gamma\-correction +switch controls the scanner's internal gamma correction. Valid options are +"Default", "User defined", "High density printing" "Low density printing" +and "High contrast printing". + +The +.B \-\-color\-correction +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 +.B \-\-resolution +switch selects the resolution for a scan. Some EPSON scanners will scan in +any resolution between the lowest and highest possible value. The list +reported by the scanner can be displayed using the "\-\-help \-d epson" +parameters to +.BR scanimage (1). + +The +.B \-\-threshold +switch selects the minimum brightness to get a white point. + +The +.B \-\-mirror +option controls the way the image is scanned. By reading the image data +from right to left the image is mirrored. Valid options are "yes" and +"no". The default is "no". + +The +.B \-\-auto\-area\-segmentation +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 +improved. Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "yes". + +The +.B \-\-red\-gamma\-table +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 +.B \-\-green\-gamma\-table +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 +.B \-\-blue\-gamma\-table +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 +.B --wait-for-button +parameter can be used to wait until the button on the scanner is +pressed to actually start the scan process. + +The color correction coefficients +.B \-\-cct\-1 \-\-cct\-2 \-\-cct\-3 ... \-\-cct\-9 +will install color correction coefficients for the user defined color +correction. Values are specified as integers in the range \-127..127. + +The +.B \-\-preview +option requests a preview scan. The frontend software automatically selects a low +resolution. Valid options are "yes" and "no". The default is "no". + +The geometry options +.B \-l \-t \-x \-y +control the scan area: +.B \-l +sets the top left x coordinate, +.BR \-t +the top left y coordinate, +.BR \-x +selects the width and +.BR \-y +the height of the scan area. All parameters are specified in millimeters. + +The +.B \-\-source +option selects the scan source. Valid options depend on the installed +options. The default is "Flatbed". + +The +.B \-\-auto\-eject +option will eject a page after scanning from the document feeder. + +The +.B \-\-film\-type +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 +.B \-\-focus\-position +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 necessary 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 scanners +will ignore this option. + +The +.B \-\-bay +option selects which bay to scan + +The +.B \-\-eject +option ejects the sheet in the ADF. + +The +.B \-\-adf-mode +option select the ADF mode (simplex/duplex). + +.SH CONFIGURATION FILE +The configuration file +.I /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf +specifies the device(s) that the +backend will use. Possible connection types are: +.TP +.B SCSI +This is the default, and if nothing else is specified the backend software will +open a given path as SCSI device. More information about valid syntax for SCSI +devices can be found in +.BR sane\-scsi (5). +.br +Usually SCSI scanners are configured with a line "scsi EPSON" in this file. In +some cases it may be necessary to only use the string "scsi" (e.g. for the GT-6500). +.TP +.B PIO \- Parallel Interface +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 +.I /dev +directory. The IO address can be specified +in hex mode (prefixed with "0x"). +.TP +.B USB +For USB scanners not automatically detect, their VENDOR and PRODUCT ID can +be specified manually in the config file. +More information about valid syntax for USB devices can be found in +.BR sane\-usb (5). +.TP +.B Network +Network scanners can be auto-discovered if +.B autodiscovery +is specified after +.B net +keyword. An IP address to connect to can also be used. +.SH FILES +.TP +.I /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane\-epson2.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane\-epson2.so +The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that +support dynamic loading). +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_EPSON2 +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. +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_EPSON2_SCSI +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the SCSI related debug level for this backend. +Only a value of 2 is supported. +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_EPSON2_NET +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the network related debug level for this +backend. E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. +Smaller levels reduce verbosity. +.TP +.B SANE_EPSON2_CMD_LVL +This allows one 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 B3. 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! + +.SH "SEE ALSO" + +.BR sane\-scsi (5), +.BR sane\-usb (5), +.BR scanimage (1), +.BR xscanimage (1), +.BR xsane (1) + +.SH BUGS + +None :-) At least none are currently known. + +.SH UNSUPPORTED DEVICES +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 +functions that the scanner may be capable of are accessible. + +If the scanner is not even recognized as an Epson scanner this is +probably because the device name reported by the scanner is not in the +correct 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). + +.SH AUTHOR + +The package is written by Alessandro Zummo and is based on previous +work done by Karl Hienz Kremer in the epson package as well as based +on work by Christian Bucher and Kazuhiro Sasayama. |
