At +present, the following scanners are known to work more or less with this +backend: +.PP +.RS +Mustek 600 CU +.br +Mustek 1200 UB +.br +Mustek 1200 CU +.br +Mustek 1200 CU Plus +.br +Trust Compact Scan USB 19200 +.br +.RE +.PP +More details can be found on the Mustek USB backend homepage +.IR http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/mustek_usb\-backend/ . +.PP +The Mustek BearPaw 1200 and 2400 scanners are supported by the plustek +backend. See +.BR sane\-plustek (5) +for details. The Mustek BearPaw 1200F is supported by the MA-1509 backend. See +.BR sane\-ma1509 (5) +for details. Other Mustek USB scanners are supported by the gt68xx backend, +see +.BR sane\-gt68xx (5). +.PP +This backend can only work with scanners that are already detected by the +operating system. See +.BR sane\-usb (5) +for details. +.PP +If you own a Mustek (or Trust) 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 +.I /proc/bus/usb/devices +or syslog) to me. + +.SH "DEVICE NAMES" +This backend expects device names of the form: +.PP +.RS +.I special +.RE +.PP +Where +.I special +is a path-name for the special device that corresponds to a USB scanner. +With Linux, such a device name could be +.I /dev/usb/scanner0 +or +.IR /dev/usbscanner1 , +for example. +.PP +For FreeBSD use +.IR /dev/uscanner0 . + +.SH CONFIGURATION +The contents of the +.I mustek_usb.conf +file is a list of options and device names that correspond to Mustek +USB scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are +ignored. If a device name is placed in +.IR mustek_usb.conf , +it must be followed by a line containing the keyword +.B option +and an option specifying the scanner type. The following options can be used: +.BR 600cu , +.BR 1200cu , +.BR 1200cu_plus , +.BR 1200ub . +For the Trust Compact Scan USB 19200 use `option 1200ub'. +.PP +Instead of using the device name, the scanner can be autodetected by +.B "usb vendor_id product_id" +statements which are already included into +.IR mustek_usb.conf . +This is only supported with Linux 2.4.8 and higher and all systems that +support libsub. "vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that +identify the scanner. If this doesn't work, a device name and the option +specifying the scanner type must be placed in +.I mustek_usb.conf +as described above. +.PP +The global +.B option max_block_size +can be used to limit the amount of data acquired in one turn from the USB +system. It may be worth trying, if USB errors occur. +.PP +A sample configuration file is shown below: +.PP +.RS +# Comment +.br +option max_block_size 1024 +.br +usb 0x055f 0x0001 +.br +/dev/usb/scanner0 +.br +option 600cu +.RE +.PP +The first line is ignored. The second line sets the buffer size to a maximum of +1024 bytes. The third line tries to autodetect a scanner with vendor id 0x055f +and product id 0x0001 (Mustek 1200 CU). The fourth line tells the backend to +attach to +.I /dev/usb/scanner0 +and the fifth line specifies that +.I /dev/usb/scanner0 +is a Mustek 600 CU. +.SH FILES +.TP +.I /etc/sane.d/mustek_usb.conf +The backend configuration file (see also description of +.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR +below). +.TP +.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-mustek_usb.a +The static library implementing this backend. +.TP +.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-mustek_usb.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. Under UNIX, 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_USB +If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this +environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.

That means, any operation that tries to reset the +device will result in running into timeouts. + +In earlier versions this backend failed when it was loaded the second time in +some configurations. The only choice was to replug the scanner in this case. The +backend uses a workaround for that bug now but it's only tested on +Linux. Reports for other operating systems are appreciated. + +.PP +More detailed bug information is available at the Mustek backend homepage +.IR http://www.meier\-geinitz.de/sane/mustek_usb\-backend/ . |
