Please see +.I http://www.sane\-project.org/sane\-supported\-devices.html +for the most recent list. + +This backend may support other Canon scanners. The best +way to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly, +or to collect a trace of the windows driver in action. +Please contact the author for help or with test results. + +In general, the larger machines (DR-4000 and up) which have been tested use +a fairly complete protocol, with hardware support for many modes, resolutions +and features. The smaller machines have many limitations, like missing +horizontal resolutions, missing binary mode, always scanning full-width, etc. +There is code in the backend to address these problems, but there seems to be +no way to detect if they are required, so they must be hard-coded. + +.SH OPTIONS +Effort has been made to expose most hardware options, including: +.TP +.B \-\-source Flatbed|ADF Front|ADF Back|ADF Duplex +Selects the source for the scan. + +.TP +.B \-\-mode Lineart|Halftone|Gray|Color +Selects the mode for the scan. + +.TP +.B \-\-resolution +Controls scan resolution. + +.TP +.B \-\-tl\-x, \-\-tl\-y, \-\-br\-x, \-\-br\-y +Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are renamed +.BR -t , +.BR -l , +.BR -x , +.B -y +by some frontends. + +.TP +.B \-\-page\-width, \-\-page\-height +Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan +coordinates when using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) and +to detect double feed errors. + +.PP +Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scanner: +enhancement, compression, buttons and sensors, etc. +.PP +Additionally, several 'software' options are exposed by the backend. These +are reimplementations of features provided natively by larger scanners, but +running on the host computer. This enables smaller machines to have similar +capabilities. Please note that these features are somewhat simplistic, and +may not perform as well as the native implementations. Note also that these +features all require that the driver cache the entire image in memory. This +will almost certainly result in a reduction of scanning speed. + +.TP +.B \-\-swcrop +Requests the driver to detect the extremities of the paper within the larger +image, and crop the empty edges. + +.TP +.B \-\-swdeskew +Requests the driver to detect the rotation of the paper within the larger +image, and counter the rotation. + +.TP +.B \-\-swdespeck X +Requests the driver to find and remove dots of X diameter or smaller from the +image, and fill the space with the average surrounding color. + +Use 'scanimage \-\-help' to get a list, but be aware that some options may +be settable only when another option has been set, and that advanced options +may be hidden by some frontend programs. + +.SH CONFIGURATION FILE +The configuration file +.I canon_dr.conf +is used to tell the backend how to look for scanners, and provide options +controlling the operation of the backend. This file is read each time the +frontend asks the backend for a list of scanners, generally only when the +frontend starts. If the configuration file is missing, the backend will +fail to run. +.PP +Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 4 ways: +.PP +"scsi CANON DR" +.RS +Requests backend to search all scsi buses in the system for a device +which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'CANON', with a model name +starting with 'DR'. +.RE +.PP +"scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file) +.RS +Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if you have +multiple compatible scanners connected to your system, and need to +specify one. Probably should not be used with the other "scsi" line above. +.RE +.PP +"usb 0x04a9 0x1603" (or other vendor/product ids) +.RS +Requests backend to search all usb buses in the system for a device +which uses that vendor and product id. The device will then be queried +to determine if it is a Canon scanner. +.RE +.PP +"usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file) +.RS +Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This method is untested. +.RE +.PP +Besides the 'scsi' and 'usb' lines, the configuration file supports the +following 'option' lines: +.PP +"option buffer-size [number of bytes]" +.RS +Set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other than the +compiled\-in default of 4MB. Large values may cause timeouts or hangs, small +values may cause slow scans. +.PP +Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some users +required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not recommended, +and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You have been +warned. +.RE +.PP +"option vendor-name [string of text]" +.br +"option model-name [string of text]" +.br +"option version-name [string of text]" +.RS +These options can be used collectively to override the values provided by the +scanner, or to provide the values when the scanner cannot. +.RE +.PP +"option padded-read [0|1]" +.RS +Some scanners prepend all data transmitted to host with 12 bytes. Enable this option if the scanner fails to respond to commands. +.RE +.PP +"option duplex-offset [integer]" +.RS +Some scanners pad the upper edge of one side of a duplex scan. There is some variation in the amount of padding. Modify this option if your unit shows an unwanted band of image data on only one side. +.RE +.PP +.BR NOTE : +"option" lines may appear multiple times in the configuration file. +They only apply to scanners discovered by the next 'scsi/usb' line. +.PP + +.SH ENVIRONMENT +The backend uses a single environment variable, +.BR SANE_DEBUG_CANON_DR , +which enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are: +.PP +.RS +5 Errors +.br +10 Function trace +.br +15 Function detail +.br +20 Option commands +.br +25 SCSI/USB trace +.br +30 SCSI/USB detail +.br +35 Useless noise +.RE + +.SH KNOWN ISSUES +This backend was entirely reverse engineered from usb traces of the proprietary +driver. Various advanced features of the machines may not be enabled. Many +machines have not been tested.
