sane-plustek(5)		 SANE Scanner Access Now Easy	       sane-plustek(5)

NAME
       sane-plustek - SANE backend for LM983[1/2/3] based USB flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION
       The  sane-plustek  library  implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend that provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on  National
       Semiconductor Merlin chipsets (LM9831, 9832 and 9833).  If you're look‐
       ing for parallel-port support for Plustek scanner please refer  to  the
       sane-plustek_pp backend.

SUPPORTED DEVICES
       The  Backend is able to support USB scanner based on the National Semi‐
       conductor chipsets LM9831, LM9832 and LM9833. The following tables show
       various	devices	 which are currently reported to work. If your Plustek
       scanner has another Product ID, then the device	is  NOT	 supported  by
       this backend.

OTHER PLUSTEK SCANNERS
       For parallelport device support see the plustek_pp backend.
       The  SCSI scanner OpticPro 19200S is a rebadged Artec AM12S scanner and
       is supported by the Artec backend.
       Only the National Semiconductor LM983[1/2/] based  devices  of  Plustek
       are supported by this backend. Older versions of the U12, the UT12, the
       U1212 and U1248 (GrandTech chipset) are not supported.

CONFIGURATION
       To use your scanner with this backend, you need at least two entries in
       the configuration file /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
	      [usb] vendor-id product-id
	      device /dev/usbscanner

       [usb] tells the backend, that the following devicename (here  /dev/usb‐
       scanner)	 has  to  be interpreted as USB scanner device. If vendor- and
       product-id has not been specified, the backend tries to detect this  by
       its  own.  If  device  is  set to auto then the next matching device is
       used.
       The following options can be used for a default setup of	 your  device.
       Most of them are also available through the frontend.

       The Options:

       option warmup t
	      t	 specifies  the	 warmup	 period	 in seconds, if set to -1, the
	      automatic warmup function will be used

       option lampOff t
	      t is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps in  standby
	      mode

       option lOffonEnd b
	      b specifies the behaviour when closing the backend, 1 --> switch
	      lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status

       option mov m
	      m is the model  override	switch.	 It  works  only  with	Mustek
	      BearPaw devices.
	      m/PID |	 0x1000	   |	0x1001
	      ------+--------------+--------------
		0   | BearPaw 1200 | BearPaw 2400
		1   |  no function | BearPaw 1200

       option invertNegatives b
	      b 0 --> do not invert the picture during negativ scans,
	      1 --> invert picture

       option cacheCalData b
	      b 0 --> do not save calibration results,
	      1 --> save results of calibration in ~/.sane/ directory

       option altCalibration b
	      b 0 --> use standard calibration routines,
	      1 --> use alternate calibration (only non Plustek devices, stan‐
	      dard for CIS devices)

       option skipFine b
	      b 0 --> perform fine calibration,
	      1 --> skip fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)

       option skipFineWhite b
	      b 0 --> perform white fine calibration,
	      1 --> skip white fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)

       option skipDarkStrip b
	      b 0 --> perform dark calibration, with enabled  lamp  using  the
	      dark  calibration	 strip of the scanner. If the scanner does not
	      have such a strip, the alternative way is to switch off the lamp
	      during this step.
	      1	 -->  always  switch off the lamp for dark calibration, even a
	      black strip is available

       option skipCalibration b
	      b 0 --> perform calibration,
	      1 --> skip calibration (only non Plustek devices)

       option enableTPA b
	      b 0 --> default behaviour, specified by the internal tables,
	      1 --> override internal tables and allow	TPA  mode  (EPSON/UMAX
	      only)

       option posOffX x
       option posOffY y
       option tpaOffX x
       option tpaOffY y
       option negOffX x
       option negOffY y
	      x	 y By using this settings, the user can adjust the given image
	      positions.  Please note, that there's no internal range checking
	      for this feature.

       option posShadingY p
       option tpaShadingY p
       option negShadingY p
	      p	 overrides  the	 internal  shading position. The values are in
	      steps.  Please note, that there's no internal range checking for
	      this feature.

       option redGamma r
       option greenGamma g
       option blueGamma b
       option grayGamma gr
	      r g b gr
       By using these values, the internal linear gamma table (r,g,b,gr = 1.0)
       can be adjusted.

       option red_gain r
       option red_offset ro
       option green_gain g
       option green_offset go
       option blue_gain b
       option blue_offset bo
	      r g b ro go bo These values can be used to set the gain and off‐
	      set  values  of the AFE for each channel. The range is between 0
	      and 63. -1 means autocalibration.

       See the plustek.conf file for examples.

       Note:
       You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded	correctly  and
       you  have  access to the device-node. For more details see sane-usb (5)
       manpage. You might use sane-find-scanner to check that you have	access
       to your device.

       Note:
       If there's no configuration file, the backend defaults to device auto

FILES
       /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
	      The backend configuration file

       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-plustek.a
	      The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-plustek.so
	      The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
	      that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT
       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 config‐
	      uration file is searched in two default directories: first,  the
	      current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d.	If the
	      value of the environment variable ends with the directory	 sepa‐
	      rator character, then the default directories are searched after
	      the explicitly  specified	 directories.	For  example,  setting
	      SANE_CONFIG_DIR  to  "/tmp/config:"  would result in directories
	      "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d"  being  searched  (in  this
	      order).

       SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK
	      If  the  library	was  compiled with debug support enabled, this
	      environment variable controls the debug level for this  backend.
	      Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.

	      Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10

CONTACT AND BUG-REPORTS
       Please send any information and bug-reports to:
       SANE Mailing List

       Additional info and hints can be obtained from our
       Mailing-List archive at:
       http://www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html

       or directly from the projects' homepage at:
       http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek/

       To  obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the environment-
       variable SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK before calling your favorite	 scan-frontend
       (i.e. xscanimage).
       i.e.: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; xscanimage

       The value controls the verbosity of the backend. Please note, that val‐
       ues greater than 24 force the backend to output raw data	 files,	 which
       could  be rather large. The ending of these files is ".raw".  For prob‐
       lem reports it should be enough the set the verbosity to 13.

KNOWN BUGS & RESTRICTIONS
       * The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16  times  the
       physical	 resolution.  The  only scaling is done on resolutions between
       the physical resolution of the CCD-/CIS-sensor and  the	stepper	 motor
       i.e. you have a 600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi,
       so scaling is necessary, because the sensor only	 delivers  600dpi  but
       the motor is capable to perform 1200dpi steps.

       *  Plusteks'  model  policy is somewhat inconsistent. They sell techni‐
       cally different devices under the same product name.  Therefore	it  is
       possible	 that  some  devices  like the UT12 or U12 won't work - please
       check the model list above and compare the product-id to the  one  your
       device has.

       * Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
