They seem to be solved now. +.HP +(**) Problems have been reported in the past for the +MD/LT9850 type (striped scans, head moving in wrong +direction at some resolutions). It is not known whether +the current version of the driver still has these problems. +.PP +.B IF YOU HEAR LOUD CLICKING NOISES, IMMEDIATELY UNPLUG THE SCANNER ! +(This holds for any type of scanner). +.HP +(***) Possibly, the engine_delay parameter has to be set to 1 ms +for accurate engine movements. +.PP +Please note that this backend is still under construction. Certain models +are currently not supported and some may never be because the communication +protocol is still unknown (eg., SE 12000 P). +.PP +Some scanners work faster when +.B EPP/ECP +is enabled in the BIOS. EPP mode however may lead to hard-locks on some Linux +systems. If that is the case for you, you can either disable ECP/EPP in your +BIOS or disable it in the backend itself (see GLOBAL OPTIONS). +.PP +Note that the backend needs to run as root or has to have appropriate access +rights to +.I /dev/parport* +if libieee1284 support is compiled in. To allow user +access to the scanner run the backend through the network interface (See +.BR saned (8) +and +.BR sane\-net (5)). +Note also that the backend +.I does not +support +.IR "parport sharing" , +i.e. if you try printing while scanning, your computer may crash. To enable +parport sharing, you have to enable libieee1284 at compile time. This backend +also conflicts with the +.BR sane\-musteka4s2 (5) +backend. You can only enable one of them in your +.IR dll.conf . +However, you have +to enable the backend explicitly in your +.IR dll.conf , +just remove the hash mark in the line "mustek_pp". + +.SH "DEVICE DEFINITION" +This backend allows multiple devices being defined and configured via the +.I mustek_pp.conf +file (even simultaneously, provided that they are connected to different +parallel ports). Please make sure to edit this file +.B before +you use the backend. +.PP +A device can be defined as follows: +.PP +.RS +.I scanner <name> <port name> <driver> +.RE +.PP +where +.HP +.B <name> +is an arbitrary name for the device, optionally enclosed by double quotes, +for instance "LifeTec 9350". +.HP +.B <port name> +is the name of the parallel port to which the device is connected. In case +libieee1284 is used for communication with the port +.I (default +.IR setup) , +valid port names are +.BR parport0 , +.BR parport1 , +and +.BR parport2 . +.PP +In case the backend is configured for raw IO +.I (old +.IR setup) , +port addresses have to be used instead of port names: +.BR 0x378 , +.BR 0x278 , +or +.BR 0x3BC . +The mapping of parallel ports (lp0, lp1, and lp2) to these addresses +can be different for different Linux kernel versions. For instance, +if you are using a Kernel 2.2.x or better and you have only one +parallel port, this port is named lp0 regardless of the base address. However, +this backend requires the base address of your port. If you are not sure which +port your scanner is connected to, have a look at your +.IR /etc/conf.modules , +.I /etc/modules.conf +and/or +.IR /proc/ioports . +.PP +If you are unsure which port to use, you can use the magic value +.BR * +to probe for your scanner. +.PP +.HP +.B <driver> +is the driver to use for this device. Currently available drivers are: +.IP +.BR cis600 " : for 600 CP, 96 CP & OEM versions" +.br +.BR cis1200 " : for 1200 CP & OEM versions" +.br +.BR cis1200+ " : for 1200 CP+ & OEM versions" +.br +.BR ccd300 " : for 600 IIIE P & OEM version" +.IP +.B Choosing the wrong driver can damage your scanner! +.br +Especially, using the 1200CP settings on a 600CP can be +harmful. If the scanner starts making a loud noise, turn +it off immediately !!! +.PP +Using the cis600 driver on a 1200CP or a 1200CP+ is probably not +dangerous. The cis1200+ driver also works for the 1200CP, and using +the cis1200 driver on a 1200CP+ will typically result in scans that +cover only half of the width of the scan area (also not dangerous). +.PP +If unsure about the exact model of your OEM version, check the optical +resolution in the manual or on the box: the 600CP has a maximum optical +resolution of 300x600 DPI, whereas the 1200CP and 1200CP+ have a maximum +optical resolution of 600x1200 DPI. +.PP +Examples: +.PP +.RS +scanner "LifeTec 9350" 0x378 cis1200 +.PP +scanner Mustek_600CP 0x378 cis600 +.PP +scanner Mustek_600IIIEP * ccd300 +.RE + +If in doubt which port you have to use, or whether your scanner is +detected at all, you can use +.I sane\-find\-scanner \-p +to probe all configured ports. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +.PP +The contents of the +.I mustek_pp.conf +file is a list of device definitions and device options that correspond to +Mustek scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are +ignored. Options have the following format: +.PP +.RS +.I option <name> [<value>] +.RE +.PP +Depending on the nature of the option, a value may or may not be present. +Options always apply to the scanner definition that precedes them. There +are no global options. Options are also driver-specific: not all drivers +support all possible options. + +.SS Common options +.TP +.B bw <value> +Black/white discrimination value to be used during lineart scanning. Pixel +values below this value are assumed to be black, values above are +assumed to be white. +.br +Default value: 127 +.br +Minimum: 0 +.br +Maximum: 255 +.sp +Example: option bw 150 + +.SS CIS driver options +.TP +.B top_adjust <value> +Vertical adjustment of the origin, expressed in millimeter (floating point). +This option can be used to calibrate the position of the origin, within +certain limits. Note that CIS scanners are probably temperature sensitive, and +that a certain inaccuracy may be hard to avoid. Differences in offset between +runs in the order of 1 to 2 mm are not unusual. +.br +Default value: 0.0 +.br +Minimum: \-5.0 +.br +Maximum: 5.0 +.br +.sp +Example: option top_adjust \-2.5 +.TP +.B slow_skip +Turns fast skipping to the start of the scan region off. When the region to +scan does not start at the origin, the driver will try to move the scanhead +to the start of the scan area at the fastest possible speed. On some models, +this may not work, resulting in large inaccuracies (up to centimeters). +By setting this option, the driver is forced to use normal speed during +skipping, which can circumvent the accuracy problems. Currently, there are +no models for which these inaccuracy problems are known to occur. +.sp +By default, fast skipping is used. +.sp +Example: option slow_skip +.TP +.B engine_delay <value> +Under normal circumstances, it is sufficient for the driver to wait for the +scanner signaling that the engine is stable, before a new engine command can +be transmitted. In rare cases, certain scanners and/or parallel port chipsets +appear to prevent reliable detection of the engine state. As a result, engine +commands are transmitted too soon and the movement of the scanner head becomes +unreliable. Inaccuracies ranging up to 10 cm over the whole vertical scan +range have been reported. To work around this problem, the engine_delay option +can be set. If it is set, the driver waits an additional amount of time after +every engine command, equal to the engine_delay parameter, expressed in +milliseconds. It practice an engine_delay of 1 ms is usually sufficient. The +maximum delay is 100 ms. +.sp +Note that every additional ms of delay can add up to 14 seconds to the total +scanning time (highest resolution), so an as small as possible value is +preferred. +.sp +Default value: 0 +.br +Minimum: 0 +.br +Maximum: 100 +.sp +Example: option engine_delay 1 + +.SS CCD driver options +.TP +.B top <value> +Number of scanlines to skip to the start of the scan area. The number can +be any positive integer. Values known to me are 47 and 56. +.sp +Default value: 47 +.br +Minimum: 0 +.br +Maximum: none +.br +.sp +Example: option top 56 +.TP +.B waitbank <value> +The number of usecs to wait for a bank change. You should not touch this +value actually. May be any positive integer +.sp +Default value: 700 +.br +Minimum: 0 +.br +Maximum: none +.sp +Example: option waitbank 700 +.PP +A sample configuration file is shown below: +.PP +.EX +# +# LifeTec/Medion 9350 on port 0x378 +# +scanner "LifeTec 9350" 0x378 cis1200 + +# Some calibration options (examples!). +option bw 127 +option top_skip \-0.8 + +# +# A Mustek 600CP on port 0x3BC +# +scanner "Mustek 600CP" 0x3BC cis600 + +# Some calibration options (examples!). +option bw 120 +option top_skip 1.2 + +# +# A Mustek 1200CP+ on port 0x278 +# +scanner "Mustek 1200CP plus" 0x278 cis1200+ + +# Some calibration options (examples!). +option bw 130 +option top_skip 0.2 + +# +# A Mustek 600 III EPP on port parport0 +# +scanner "Mustek 600 III EPP" parport0 ccd300 + +# Some calibration options (examples!). +option bw 130 +option top 56 +.EE + +.SH GLOBAL OPTIONS +.PP +You can control the overall behaviour of the +.B sane-\mustek_pp +backend by global +options which precede any scanner definition in the +.I mustek_pp.conf +file. +.sp +Currently, there is only one global option: + +.SS Global options +.TP +.B no_epp +Disable parallel port mode EPP: works around a known bug in the Linux parport +code.

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_MUSTEK_PP +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
