.SH NAME
sane\-nec \- SANE backend for NEC scanners
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B sane\-nec
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
provides access to NEC SCSI scanners.  This backend should be
considered
.B alpha-quality
software!  In the current state it is known to work with PC-IN500/4C
scanners. Other MultiReader scanner series are not supported. PC-IN
500/4C and MultiReader scanner are only sold in Japan (except Multi
Reader PetiScan).

For other scanners, it may or may not work.

The backend has the following known problems:
.RS

.SH FILES

.I /etc/sane.d/nec.conf
The backend configuration file.
.TP
.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-nec.a
The static library implementing this backend.
.TP
.I /usr/lib64/sane/libsane\-nec.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
support dynamic loading).

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B SANE_DEBUG_NEC
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.
