sane-ibm(5) SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-ibm(5) NAME sane-ibm - SANE backend for IBM and Ricoh SCSI flatbed scanners DESCRIPTION The sane-ibm library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the IBM 2456 and the Ricoh IS-410, IS-420, and IS-430 flatbed scanners. Support for the IS-410 and IS-430 is untested. Please contact the maintainer or the sane-devel mailing list if you own such a scanner. This backend is alpha-quality. It may have bugs and some scanners haven't been tested at all. Be careful and pull the plug if the scanner causes un- usual noise. DEVICE NAMES This backend expects device names of the form: special Where special is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI scanner. The program sane-find-scanner(1) helps to find out the cor- rect device. Under Linux, such a device name could be /dev/sg0 or /dev/sga, for example. See sane-scsi(5) for details. CONFIGURATION The contents of the ibm.conf file is a list of device names that correspond to SCSI scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. See sane-scsi(5) on details of what constitutes a valid device name. FILES /usr/local/etc/sane.d/ibm.conf The backend configuration file (see also description of SANE_CON- FIG_DIR below). /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-ibm.a The static library implementing this backend. /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-ibm.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 directory (".") and then in /usr/local/etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then the default directories are searched after the ex- plicitly specified directories. For example, setting SANE_CON- FIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories tmp/config, ., and /usr/local/etc/sane.d being searched (in this order). SANE_DEBUG_IBM If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this envi- ronment variable controls the debug level for this backend. Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.
