+.SH "NAME"
+sane\-genesys \- SANE backend for GL646, GL841, GL843, GL847 and GL124 based USB flatbed scanners
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+.B sane\-genesys
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
+access to USB flatbed scanners based on the Genesys GL646, GL841, GL843, GL847 and GL124 chips.
+At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend:
+.PP
+.RS

+.PP
+This is stable software for supported models. But if you test new or untested scanners, keep
+your hand at the scanner's plug and unplug it, if the head bumps at the end of
+the scan area.
+.PP
+If you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with this
+backend, please let me know this by sending the scanner's exact model name and
+the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
+.IR /proc/bus/usb/devices ,
+.I sane\-find\-scanner
+or syslog) to the sane\-devel mailing list. Even if the scanner's name is only
+slightly different from the models mentioned above, please let me know.
+.PP
+If you own a scanner that isn't detected by the genesys backend but has a GL646,
+GL841, GL843, GL847 or GL124 chipset, you can try to add it to the backend.
+.PP
+.SH "CALIBRATION"
+To give correct image quality, sheet fed scanners need to be calibrated using the
+calibration sheet sold with the scanner. To do calibration, you must insert this target
+in the feeder then start calibration either by passing the \-\-calibrate option to scanimage
+or by clicking on the available 'calibrate' button in the 'advanced options' in a graphical
+frontend. The result of the calibration is stored in a file in the home directory of the user doing it.
+If you plug the scanner in another machine or use it with another account, calibration
+will have to be redone, unless you use the \-\-calibration\-file option.
+If no home directory is defined,
+.B USERAPPPROFILE
+will be used, then
+.B TMPDIR
+or
+.BR TMP.
+If none of these directories exist, the backend will try
+to write in the current working directory. Flatbed scanners also make use of the calibration file as a cache
+to avoid calibration before each scan. Calibration file name is the name of the scanner model if only
+one scanner is detected. In the case of several identical model, the file name will be the name
+of the logical USB device name. The expiration time manages the time a calibration is valid in cache.
+A value of -1 means forever, 0 means no cache.
+
+.SH EXTRAS SCAN OPTIONS
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-lamp\-off\-time number
+The lamp will be turned off after the given time (in minutes). A value of 0 means that the lamp won't be turned off.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-threshold percent
+0..100% (in steps of 1). Select minimum brightness to get a white point. Pixels
+with brightness below that value will be scanned as black.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-brightness value
+\-100..100 (in steps of 1). Set the brightness enhancement. 0 for no enhancement, negative
+values to decrease brightness, and positive values to increase it.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-contrast value
+\-100..100 (in steps of 1). Set the contrast enhancement. 0 for no enhancement, negative
+values to decrease contrast, and positive values to increase it.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-disable-interpolation yes|no
+When using high resolutions where the horizontal resolution is smaller than vertical resolution,
+data is expanded by software to preserve picture geometry. This can be disabled by this option to get
+real scanned data.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-disable-dynamic-lineart yes|no
+Disable use of a software adaptive algorithm to generate lineart and rely on hardware lineart.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-color-filter None|Red|Green|Blue
+When using gray or lineart this option selects the used color. Using a color filter
+will give a monochrome scan. CIS based scanners can to true gray when no filter (None value) is
+selected.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-lamp\-off\-scan
+The lamp will be turned off during the scan. Calibration is still done with lamp on.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-clear\-calibration
+Clear calibration cache data, triggering a new calibration for the device when the
+next scan will happen.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-calibration\-file
+Specify the calibration file name to use. At least the directory containing the file
+must exist, since it won't be created. This option is disabled if the backend is run
+as root. It maybe used in case of sheet-fed scanners to share a calibration file for several
+users.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-expiration\-time
+Specify the time (in minutes) a cached calibration is considered valid. If older than the given value, a new
+calibration is done. A value of -1 means no expiration and cached value are kept forever unless cleared by
+userwith the calibration clear option. A value of 0 means cache is disabled.
+
+.PP
+Additionally, several 'software' options are exposed by the backend. These
+are reimplementations of features provided natively by larger scanners, but
+running on the host computer. This enables smaller machines to have similar
+capabilities. Please note that these features are somewhat simplistic, and
+may not perform as well as the native implementations. Note also that these
+features all require that the driver cache the entire image in memory. This
+will almost certainly result in a reduction of scanning speed.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-swcrop
+Requests the driver to detect the extremities of the paper within the larger
+image, and crop the empty edges.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-swdeskew
+Requests the driver to detect the rotation of the paper within the larger
+image, and counter the rotation.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-swdespeck \-\-despeck X
+Requests the driver to find and remove dots of X diameter or smaller from the
+image, and fill the space with the average surrounding color.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-swskip 0..100% (in steps of 1) [0]
+Request driver to discard pages with low numbers of dark pixels.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-swderotate[=(yes|no)] [no]
+Request driver to detect and correct 90 degree image rotation.
+
+.SH "SYSTEM ISSUES"
+This backend needs libusb-0.1.6 or later installed, and hasn't tested in other
+configuration than a linux kernel 2.6.9 or higher. However, it should work any
+system with libusb where the SANE package can be compiled. For
+setting permissions and general USB information look at
+.BR sane\-usb (5).
+
+
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+The contents of the
+.I genesys.conf
+file is a list of usb lines containing vendor and product ids that correspond
+to USB scanners. The file can also contain option lines. Empty lines and
+lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. The scanners are
+autodetected by
+.B usb vendor_id product_id
+statements which are already included into
+.IR genesys.conf .
+"vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify the
+scanner.
+.PP
+
+.SH "FILES"
+.TP
+.I /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf
+The backend configuration file (see also description of
+.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+below).
+.TP
+.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-genesys.a
+The static library implementing this backend.
+.TP
+.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-genesys.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_GENESYS
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment
+variable controls the debug level for this backend. Higher debug levels
+increase the verbosity of the output. If the debug level is set to 1 or higher,
+some debug options become available that are normally hidden. Handle them with
+care. This will print messages related to core genesys functions.
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_IMAGE
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment
+variable enables logging of intermediate image data. To enable this mode,
+set the environmental variable to 1.
+
+
+Example (full and highly verbose output for gl646):
+.br
+export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255

+.SH "LIMITATIONS"
+
+Powersaving isn't implemented for gl646 based scanner. Dynamic (emulated from gray data and with dithering)
+isn't enabled for gl646 scanners. Hardware lineart is limited up to 600 dpi for gl847 based scanners,
+due to the way image sensors are built.
+.PP
+This backend will be much slower if not using libusb\-1.0. So be sure that sane\-backends is built with
+the
+.B \-\-enable-libusb_1_0 option.
+
+.SH "BUGS"
+For the LiDE 200, the scanned data at 4800 dpi is obtained "as is" from sensor.
+It seems the windows driver does some digital processing to improve it, which is not implemented in the backend.
