sane-sm3840(5) SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-sm3840(5) NAME sane-sm3840 - SANE backend for Microtek scanners with SCAN08 USB chip DESCRIPTION The sane-sm3840 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to some Microtek scanners with the SCAN08 USB chip. There exist backends for Microtek scanners with SCSI command set. Refer to sane-microtek(5) and sane-microtek2(5) for details. There also exists a Microtek 3600 series driver, see sane-sm3600(5) for details. At present, the following scanners are known positively to work with this backend: Vendor Product ID: Remark: -------- -------------- ----------- Microtek ScanMaker 3840 All modes OK Microtek ScanMaker 4800 All modes OK If you own a Microtek scanner with the SCAN08 chip other than the ones listed above, it may or may not work with SANE. Feel free to contact the backend author (earle@ziplabel.com) to report results with scanners not on the list. FRONTEND OPTIONS The following options are supported by the sane-sm3840 driver: --mode color|gray|lineart|halftone Color or grayscale mode. --resolution 150|300|600|1200 Pixels per inch for scans. --depth 8|16 Note that the least significant bits of 16bpp mode may be noise. --brightness 1..4096 Higher numbers increase brightness of returned image. --contrast 0.1..9.9 Larger numbers decrease contrast of returned image. --lamp-timeout 1..15 Time in minutes until the lamp is turned off after a scan. CONFIGURATION This backend does not support a configuration file right now. FILES /usr/lib/sane/libsane-sm3840.a The static library implementing this backend. /usr/lib/sane/libsane-sm3840.so The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading). ENVIRONMENT SANE_DEBUG_SM3840 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. To see error messages on stderr set SANE_DEBUG_SM3840 to 1.
