sane-umax1220u(5) SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-umax1220u(5)

NAME

   sane-umax1220u - SANE backend for the UMAX Astra 1220U and similar scanners

DESCRIPTION

   The sane-umax1220 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend for the the UMAX Astra 1220U and similar scanners.

   For more information on this backend, please visit http://umax1220u-sane.sourceforge.net/.

UMAX ASTRA 1600U/2000U/2100U SUPPORT

   This  backend  is also able to drive the UMAX Astra 1600U/2000U/2100U.  The 2100U is confirmed to work. For the other scanners no reports have been received yet. Please contact us and
   tell us if your scanner works (sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net).

CONFIGURATION

   Usually, no manual configuration is necessary. The configuration file for this backend resides in /etc/sane.d/umax1220u.conf.

   Its content is a list of device names that correspond to UMAX Astra scanners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration  file  is  shown
   below:

    #usb vendor product
    usb 0x1606 0x0010
    # Device list for non-linux systems
    /dev/scanner
    /dev/usb/scanner0

   See sane-usb(5) for information on how to set the access permissions on the usb device files.

FILES

   The backend configuration file:
          /etc/sane.d/umax1220u.conf

   The static library implementing this backend:
          /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-umax1220u.a

   The shared library implementing this backend:
          /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-umax1220u.so (present on systems that support dynamic loading)

ENVIRONMENT

   SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U
          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:

          SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U values:

          Number  Remark
           1       print failures
           2       print information
           3       print high-level function calls
           4       print high-level function checkpoints
           9       print mid-level function calls
           10      print mid-level function checkpoints
           80      print protocol-level function entry
           90      print protocol-level function exit

   Example:
          export SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U=10

KNOWN BUGS

   600 dpi scanning may fail for large image sizes.

   If you keep getting I/O errors, try cycling the power on your scanner to reset it.

   There is no way to cancel a scan, since the driver ignores sane_cancel().

   If you try scanning an image which is too small, you will get I/O errors. Be sure to adjust the scan area before doing a scan, since by default, the scan area is zero.
