NAME

   sane-p5 - SANE backend for the Primax PagePartner

DESCRIPTION

   The sane-p5 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the Primax PagePartner parallel port sheet fed scanner.

   This backend handles 100, 150, 200, 300 and 600 dpi scan resolutions, in color and gray modes. The 600 dpi is actually 300x600 with lines enlarged to match the vertical resolution.

   EPP/ECP  MODES ONLY The current version of the backend uses only EPP or ECP mode to communicate with the scanner. It is recommended that you set your parallel port to EPP in BIOS with
   the current version of this backend. ECPEPP will only work if you use a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel with ppdev character device support.

DEVICE NAMES

   This backend expects device names of the form:

          port value

   Where value is:

          auto   autodetect all parallel ports and probe them for scanner

          /dev/parport0
                 uses linux ppdev device, depending on the number of available parallel port, you have to use /dev/parport1, /dev/parport2, ...

   You can rename any device using the

          option name my_name

   option. This option apply to the last port option.

CONFIGURATION

   Please make sure to edit dll.conf before you use the backend, since this backend isn't enabled by default.

FILES

   /etc/sane.d/p5.conf
          The backend configuration file (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-p5.a
          The static library implementing this backend.

   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-p5.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.  On *NIX systems, the directories are separated by  a  colon  (`:'),  under
          OS/2,  they  are separated by a semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration file is searched in two default directories: first, the current working direc
          tory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d.  If the value of the environment variable ends with the directory separator 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 or
          der).

   SANE_DEBUG_P5
          If  the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.  E.g., a value of 255 requests all debug output to
          be printed.  Smaller levels reduce verbosity.

          level   debug output
          ------- ------------------------------
           0       critical errors
           1       errors
           2       warnings & minor errors
           4       information messages
           8       start/stop of functions
           16      tracing messages
           32      I/O functions
           64      I/O functions with traces
           128     scanned/calibration data

BUG REPORTS

   If something doesn't work mail sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net or submit an issue via https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/issues/new with a label of backend/p5.   Please  give
   as much information as you can.

   SANE version
          run "scanimage -V" to determine this

   the backend version and your scanner hardware
          run  SANE_DEBUG_P5=255  scanimage  -L 2>log as root. If you don't get any output from the p5 backend, make sure a line "p5" is included into your /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.  If your
          scanner isn't detected, make sure you've defined the right port address, or the correct device in your p5.conf file.

   the name of your scanner/vendor
          also a worthy information. Please also include the optical resolution and lamp type of your scanner, both can be found in the manual of your scanner.

   any further comments
          if you have comments about the documentation (what could be done better), or you think I should know something, please include it.
