+.SH "NAME"
+sane\-rts8891 \- SANE backend for rts8891 based scanners
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+.B sane\-rts8891
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to scanners based on the rts8891 ASIC.
+.PP
+The scanners that work with this backend are:
+.PP
+.RS
+.ft CR
+.nf
+ Vendor Model status
+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

+
+The options the backend supports can either be selected through
+command line options to programs like
+.BR scanimage (1)
+or through GUI elements in
+.BR xscanimage (1)
+or
+.BR xsane (1).
+
+.br
+If you notice any strange behavior, please report to the backend
+maintainer or to the SANE mailing list.
+
+Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
+
+.RS
+scanimage \-\-help \-d rts8891
+.RE
+
+.TP
+.B Scan Mode Options
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-mode
+selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner. Valid choices are
+.IR "Color" ,
+.I Gray
+and
+.IR Lineart .
+The default mode is
+.IR Color .
+The
+.I Lineart
+mode is for black and white only (1 bit).
+.I Gray
+will produce 256 levels of gray (8 bits).
+.I Color
+mode allows for over 16 million different colors produced from
+24 bits of color information.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-resolution
+selects the resolution for a scan. The horizontal and vertical resolutions are set
+by the value of this option. The scanner is capable of the following resolutions for the specified option value:
+.PP
+.RS

+ 1200 1200dpi 1200dpi
+.fi
+.ft R
+.RE
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-preview
+requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 75 dpi
+and the scan area and the scan mode are as specified through their options,
+or the default if not specified. The default value for preview mode is "no".
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-threshold
+selects the minimum\-brightness to get a white point. The threshold is only used with Lineart mode scans.
+It is specified as a percentage in the range 0..100% (in steps of 1).
+The default value of the threshold option is 50.
+
+
+.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
+The configuration file
+.I /etc/sane.d/rts8891.conf
+contains the usb device ids of supported scanners (eg usb 0x043d 0x007c) and scanner configuration options.
+Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
+ignored.
+.PP
+The options supported are
+.BR allowsharing ,
+.B modelnumber
+.
+
+Option
+.TP
+.B allowsharing
+enables or not the sharing of the scanner between multiple frontends at the same time.
+.TP
+.B modelnumber
+is used to force the reported model by the backend and is only useful in the case of a scanner which NVRAM has been erased.
+

+.SH "FILES"

+.I /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane\-rts8891.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane\-rts8891.so
+The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
+support dynamic loading).
+
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_RTS8891 SANE_DEBUG_RTS8891_LOW SANE_DEBUG_RTS88XX_LIB
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, these
+environment variables control the debug level for this backend. E.g.,
+a value of 255 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels
+reduce verbosity.
+
+.SH "LIMITATIONS"
+Scanners of the same model exist with different sensors, due to lack of data
+(ie USB logs) some sensors are better supported than others. At least 75 dpi
+mode is working for any model. Sharing the scanner between several frontends
+at the same time (allowsharing option) may not work on some USB controllers.
+.PP
+XPA is not (yet) supported.
