Send your bug reports and comments to +Nathan Rutman +.IR <nthn1@yahoo.com> . +.PP +.SH CONFIGURATION +The contents of the +.I canon630u.conf +file is a list of device names that correspond to Canon +USB scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are +ignored. Only one device name can be listed in +.IR canon630u.conf . +The program +.BR sane\-find\-scanner (1) +helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name +could be +.I /dev/usb/scanner0 +for example. See +.BR sane\-usb (5) +for details. +.PP +This product-specific scanner driver uses the lower-level kernel USB driver +"scanner". Check for "Driver=usbscanner" under +.IR /proc/bus/usb/devices . +If "Driver=(none)", try forcing it with +.I "insmod scanner vendor=0x04a9 product=0x2204" +.SH NOTES +.PP +Due to Canon's unwillingness to provide scanner documentation, this +software was developed by analyzing the USB traffic of the Windows +2000 driver. So things like the calibration procedure I kind of made up; +it seems to work for my scanner. If you have complaints, let me know. +.PP +This driver requires the ability to send USB Control Messages, available in +kernel 2.4.12 or later. +.PP +Some users have reported that this driver doesn't work at all. This seems +to be a hardware specific issue, although I dsane\-uson't know what exactly the +problem is. If you are having problems, please send me the info in +.IR /proc/bus/usb/devices , +.IR /proc/pci , +the kernel +.I scanner.c +driver version from +.IR /var/log/messages , +and the output from +.I "SANE_DEBUG_CANON630U=12 scanimage > /dev/null" +.PP +.SH FILES +.TP +.I /etc/sane.d/canon630u.conf +The backend configuration file (see also description of +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +below). +.TP +.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-canon630u.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-canon630u.so +The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that +support dynamic loading). +.TP +.I /tmp/canon.cal +The calibration file used to normalize pixel brightness.

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_CANON630U +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
