+.IX sane\-pieusb
+.SH NAME
+sane\-pieusb \- SANE backend for USB-connected PIE PowerSlide and
+Reflecta DigitDia/CrystalScan/ProScan slide scanners
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B sane\-pieusb
+library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
+provides access to USB-connected PIE and Reflecta slide scanners.
+.br
+At present, the following scanners should work with this backend:

+
+.SH "MULTIPLE SLIDES"
+Support for multiple slide scanners (like the PowerSlide or DigitDia
+series) is done by auto-advancing ('Advance slide' setting) the slide
+after each scan.
+
+However, for best results, it is recommended to do a preview for
+every slide since this sets gamma, brightness, and contrast to optimal
+values.
+
+Attention: SANE does not have an automatic landscape/portrait
+detection and re-orientation when scanning multiple slides. You have
+to put all slides into one orientation first !
+
+.SH "DIRT REMOVAL"
+If available,
+.B sane\-pieusb
+supports infrared scans for dirt detection and
+removal. This must be enabled via the 'Clean image' setting.
+
+.SH "KNOWN PROBLEMS"
+The
+.B sane\-pieusb
+backend supports dirt removal based on infrared scan
+information. Since SANE does not provide post-processing in the
+backend,
+.B sane\-pieusb
+does the scanning and dirt removal during the setup
+phase. The 'scan' phase is only used to transfer the completed image.
+Therefore
+.B sane\-pieusb
+does not multi-thread making a typical frontend
+appear as 'blocked'. Also cancel requests are only honored between
+scans.
+
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
+.TP
+.B SANE_DEBUG_PIEUSB
+If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
+environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g.,
+a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller
+levels reduce verbosity.
