Empty lines +and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is +shown below: + +.nf + #scsi Vendor Model Type + scsi Nikon * Scanner + /dev/scanner +.fi + +The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device. +To find out to which device your scanner is assigned and how you can set the +permissions of that device, have a look at +.BR sane\-scsi (5). + +.SH SCSI ADAPTER TIPS + +Some SCSI-adapters and low-level SCSI drivers do not work correctly with this backend and the +Coolscan scanners. These systems hang when the autofocus command is send to the Scanner. +To see a list of which card/driver combinations work or don't work have a look at: +.I http://andreas.rick.free.fr/sane/autofocus.html. + +.SH FILES +.TP +The backend configuration file: +.I /etc/sane.d/coolscan.conf +.TP +The static library implementing this backend: +.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-coolscan.a +.TP +The shared library implementing this backend: +.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-coolscan.so +(present on systems that support dynamic loading) + +.SH ENVIRONMENT + +.TP +.B SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment +variable controls the debug level for this backend.
