Should also work with the IS420, +IS410, and IS430 scanners, but these are untested. +Please contact the maintainer or the sane\-devel mailing list if you own such a scanner. +.PP +This backend is alpha-quality. It may have bugs and some scanners haven't been +tested at all. Be careful and pull the plug if the scanner causes unusual +noise. + +.SH "DEVICE NAMES" +This backend expects device names of the form: +.PP +.RS +.I special +.RE +.PP +Where +.I special +is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI +scanner. The program +.BR sane\-find\-scanner (1) +helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name could be +.I /dev/sg0 +or +.IR /dev/sga , +for example. See +.BR sane\-scsi (5) +for details. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +The contents of the +.I hs2p.conf +file is a list of device names that correspond to SCSI +scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are +ignored. See +.BR sane\-scsi (5) +on details of what constitutes a valid device name. + +.SH FILES +.TP +.I /etc/sane.d/hs2p.conf +The backend configuration file (see also description of +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +below). +.TP +.I /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane\-hs2p.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane\-hs2p.so +The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that +support dynamic loading). +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may +contain the configuration file. On *NIX systems, 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 +.IR /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 +to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories +.IR tmp/config , +.IR . , +and +.I "/etc/sane.d" +being searched (in this order). +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_HS2P +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. +A value of 255 prints all debug output. Smaller values reduce verbosity. + +.SH CURRENT STATUS +The +.B sane\-hs2p +backend is now in version 1.00. All major scanning-related features +are supported, except for those features requiring the optional IPU. Scanning +from the flatbed or ADF (either simplex or duplex) is supported. Lineart, +halftone, 4-bit gray, and 8-bit gray are supported. Pre-set gamma tables and +halftone patterns are supported, as well as brightness, threshold, contrast. +Also supported is scan wait mode, binary and gray filtering, negative scanning, +and absolute or relative white setting. Printing with the optional endorser +also is supported. + +.SH PLANNED FUNCTIONALITY +This scanner can scan from the ADF in continuous simplex mode. +Surprisingly, many scanners scan an entire document from the ADF +into memory before ejecting the sheet. Thus if the document is too +long, the scanner cannot hold the entire image data in memory. +But if the scanner would send its image data when its memory got full, +and then read the next buffer's worth of data, continuous scanning +could be achieved. + +.SH MISSING FUNCTIONALITY +The SCSI commands for uploading (2AH) or downloading (28H) +custom halftone patterns (02H) and gamma vectors (03H) should work, +but require implementing the SANE Option-Value code to allow the +user to create the tables to be uploaded to the scanner. No support +for Maintenance Data (80H) is planned as this functionality is more +suited to a stand-alone utility to be used by a technician when +replacing the lamp or ADF unit. Nor is support for reading or changing +IPU (93H) parameters and adjustments planned, since my IS450 lacks +such a unit. The 31-byte Auto Photo/Letter struct and 21-byte Dynamic +threshold struct are documented in the +.I hs2p-scsi.h +file should someone wish to use their IPU for image data processing. + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR sane (7), +.BR sane\-find\-scanner (1), +.BR sane\-scsi (5), + +.SH AUTHOR +jeremy +.RI < jeremy@acjlaw.net > +.br +Maintained by Jeremy Johnson +.RI < jeremy@acjlaw.net > |
