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

sane-niash - SANE backend for scanners based on the NIASH chipset

The sane-niash implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to NIASH chipset based scanners. This backend will try to support the following models:

MANUFACTURER:    MODEL:          USB ID:
---------------  ----------------  ---------
Agfa             Snapscan Touch    06BD-0100 (1)(a)
Trust            Office Scan 19200 047B-1000 (1)(a)
Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 3300c     03F0-0205 (1)(a)(b)
Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 3400c     03F0-0405 (2)(b)
Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 4300c     03F0-0305 (2)(a)
Silitek          ScanJet 4300c     047B-1002 (2)(b)

ASIC: (1) - NIASH00012/00013/00014 / (2) - NIASH00019
ANALOG FRONT-END: (a) - ESIC ES8100QA / (b) - WM8143-12

The niash.conf file is meant for future configuration options. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. Currently no configuration options exist.

/usr/lib/sane/libsane-niash.a
The static library implementing this backend.
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-niash.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading).

If you use a
Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 3400c or
Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4300c
together with Linux kernel 2.6, kernel version 2.6.8 or newer is necessary.

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_NIASH=255
