If your scanner came +with a DTC ISA SCSI cards, you can probably use it with recent (>= 2.2.0) +kernels using the generic NCR5380 support. You must pass the following +boot argument to the kernel: "dtc3181e=0x2c0,0" +.br +I do not have any information on the PCI SCSI adapter included with some +newer Artec scanners. + +.SH FILES +.TP +.I /etc/sane.d/artec.conf +The backend configuration file (see also description of +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +below). +.TP +.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-artec.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-artec.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_ARTEC +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment +variable controls the debug level for this backend.
