sane-hp5590(5)		  SANE Scanner Access Now Easy		  sane-hp5590(5)

NAME
     sane-hp5590       -       SANE	  backend	for	 Hewlett-Packard
     4500C/4570C/5500C/5550C/5590/7650 Workgroup/Document scanners

DESCRIPTION
     The sane-hp5590 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend
     that provides access to the  following  Hewlett-Packard  Workgroup/Document
     scanners:

     * ScanJet 4500C

     * ScanJet 4570C

     * ScanJet 5500C

     * ScanJet 5550C

     * ScanJet 5590

     * ScanJet 7650

     If  you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with this
     backend, please let us know this by sending the scanner's exact model  name
     and  the  USB  vendor and device ids (e.g. from /sys/bus/usb/devices, sane-
     find-scanner(1) or syslog) to us.	Even  if  the  scanner's  name	is  only
     slightly different from the models mentioned above, please let us know.

OPTIONS
     The  options  the	backend  supports can either be selected through command
     line options to programs like scanimage(1) or through GUI elements  in  xs-
     canimage(1)  or  xsane(1).  Valid command line options and their syntax can
     be listed by using:

	    scanimage --help -d hp5590:interface:device

     where interface and device specify the device in question, as in  the  con-
     figuration  file.	Add --all-options to also list the hardware read-out op-
     tions.  The -d parameter and its argument can be omitted to obtain informa-
     tion on the first scanner identified.

     Use the command:

	    scanimage -L

     to list all devices recognized by your SANE installation.

DEVICE SPECIFIC OPTIONS
     -l n   Top-left X position of  scan  area	in  mm.   Allowed  range:  0  ..
	    215.889.

     -t n   Top-left  Y  position  of  scan  area  in  mm.   Allowed range: 0 ..
	    297.699.

     -x n   X width of scan-area in mm.  Allowed range: 0 ..  215.889.

     -y n   Y height of scan-area in mm.  Allowed range: 0 ..  297.699.

     By default, the maximum size will be scanned.

     --mode mode
	    Select color mode.	mode must be one of: "Color", "Color (48 bits)",
	    "Gray", "Lineart".

	    * "Color" - Scanning is done with 3 * 8 bit  RGB  color  values  per
	      pixel.

	    * "Color  (48  bits)"  -  Scanning is done with 3 * 16 bit RGB color
	      values per pixel.

	    * "Gray" - Scanning is done with 1 * 8 bit gray value per pixel.

	    * "Lineart" - Scanning is done with 1 bit black and white value  per
	      pixel.

     --source source
	    Select  the  source for scanning.  source must be one of: "Flatbed",
	    "ADF", "ADF Duplex", "TMA Slides", "TMA Negatives".

	    * "Flatbed" - Scan document on the flat document glass.

	    * "ADF" - Scan  frontsides	of  documents  with  automatic	document
	      feeder.

	    * "ADF  Duplex"  - Scan front- and backsides of documents with auto-
	      matic document feeder.  Note, the backside images must be  rotated
	      in a separate post process step.

	    * "TMA  Slides"  -	Slide  scanning  with transparent media adapter.
	      (Not fully supported by hp5590 backend).

	    * "TMA Negatives" - Negative film scanning	with  transparent  media
	      adapter.	(Not fully supported by hp5590 backend).

     --resolution res
	    Set the resolution of the scanned image in dpi.  res must be one of:
	    100, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 2400.

     Default settings: Lineart, Flatbed, 100dpi.

     --extend-lamp-timeout[=yes|no]
	    Extend  lamp  timeout  period.  no = 15 minutes, yes = 1 hour.  (De-
	    fault: no)

     --wait-for-button[=yes|no]
	    Wait for button press before scanning starts.  (Default: no)

     --preview[=yes|no]
	    Request a preview-quality scan.  (Default: no)

     --hide-eop-pixel[=yes|no]
	    Hide end-of-page indicator pixels and overwrite with color	of  next
	    neighbor pixels.  (Default: yes)
	    The  scanner  uses the last pixel in every scan line for storing the
	    end-of-page status.  This is needed to detect the end of  the  docu-
	    ment sheet when the automatic document feeder (ADF) is used.  Unfor-
	    tunately the end-of-page pixels are also generated in flatbed scans.
	    It is recommended to hide these pixels.

     --trailing-lines-mode mode
	    Filling mode of trailing lines after end of page when automatic doc-
	    ument  feeder  (ADF)  is  used.  mode must be one of: "last", "raw",
	    "raster", "white", "black", "color".  (Default: "last")

	    * "last" = repeat the last scan line (recommended),

	    * "raw" = read raw scan data (not recommended),

	    * "raster" = generate black and white pixel pattern,

	    * "white" = white pixels,

	    * "black" = black pixels,

	    * "color" = RGB or gray colored pixels (see next option).

     --trailing-lines-color n
	    Set color value for filling trailing scan lines  in  trailing  lines
	    mode "color" (see previous option).  (Default color: violet)
	    The  RGB color value must be specified and calculated as 65536 * r +
	    256 * g + b, with r, g, b being values in the range of 0 ..  255.

READ OUT OPTIONS
     The following options allow reading out the button  state,  counter  value,
     color  setting, and the state of document in ADF.	This can be used to pro-
     grammatically control corresponding scanner options like switching  between
     flatbed and ADF mode, or triggering post processing tasks after scanning.

     --button-pressed
	    Get  the  id  of  the  last  button  pressed.   Id is one of "none",
	    "power", "scan", "collect", "file", "email", "copy",  "up",  "down",
	    "mode", "cancel".
	    The  scanner  stores  the  id of the last button pressed until it is
	    read.  After read out, the state is reset  and  subsequent	readings
	    will return "none".

     --color-led
	    Get  the  state  of  the  color LED indicators.  The state is either
	    "color" or "black_white".

     --counter-value
	    Get the counter value as shown on LCD.  The value is in the range of
	    1 ..  99.

     --doc-in-adf
	    Get the state of the document-available indicator of  the  automatic
	    document feeder (ADF).  The state is either "yes" or "no".

HINTS FOR USERS OF SCANBD
     scanbd(8)	is  a  scanner button daemon, which can read scanner buttons and
     trigger scan actions.

     Do not use the old scanbuttond(8) interface with hp5590.	It  is	outdated
     and  shall  not  be  used	any more.  The regular interface of scanbd(8) is
     fully supported by the current version of the hp5590 backend.

     This example shows a  minimum  configuration  file  and  the  corresponding
     script file for scanbd(8) to be included in scanbd.conf.

     * hp5590.conf

       device hp5590 {
	   # Device matching
	   filter = "^hp5590.*"
	   desc = "HP5590 Scanner Family"

	   # Read out counter value and store in environment variable.
	   function function_lcd_counter {
	       filter = "^counter-value.*"
	       desc   = "hp5590: LCD counter"
	       env    = "SCANBD_FUNCTION_LCD_COUNTER"
	   }

	   # Run scan script when button is pressed.
	   action do-scan {
	       filter = "^button-pressed.*"
	       desc   = "hp5590: Scan button pressed"
	       script = "scan_action.script"
	       string-trigger {
		   from-value  = "none"
		   to-value    = "scan"
	       }
	   }
       }

     * scan_action.script

       #!/bin/bash
       echo device = $SCANBD_DEVICE
       echo action = $SCANBD_ACTION
       echo counter = $SCANBD_FUNCTION_LCD_COUNTER
       scanfile="$HOME/tmp/scans/scan-$(date +%s).pnm"
       case $SCANBD_ACTION in
       do-scan)
	   scanimage -d "$SCANBD_DEVICE" > "$scanfile"
	   ;;
       *)
	   echo Warning: Unknown scanbd action: "$SCANBD_ACTION"
	   ;;
       esac

FILES
     @LIBDIR@/libsane-hp5590.a
	    The static library implementing this backend.

     @LIBDIR@/libsane-hp5590.so
	    The  shared  library  implementing	this backend (present on systems
	    that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT
     If the library was compiled with debug support  enabled,  this  environment
     variable controls the debug level for this backend.

     SANE_DEBUG_HP5590

     Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output:

	    10 - generic processing
	    20 - verbose backend messages
	    40 - HP5590 high-level commands
	    50 - HP5590 low-level (USB-in-USB) commands

     Example:
	    export SANE_DEBUG_HP5590=50
