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

NAME
     sane-leo - SANE backend for LEO Technologies scanners

DESCRIPTION
     The  sane-leo  library  implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend
     that provides access to some LEO SCSI flatbed scanners. This backend should
     be considered beta-quality software! LEO scanners were also sold under  the
     Across Technologies brand.

     The scanners that should work with this backend are:

	       Vendor Model	      status
	    ----------------------  -----------
	      Across FS-1130	      tested
	      LEO S3		      tested

     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).

     If  you  have any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer
     or to the SANE mailing list.

     Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
	    scanimage --help -d leo

     Scan Mode

     --mode
	    selects the basic mode of operation of the	scanner.  Valid  choices
	    are  Black	& White, Grayscale and Color.  The Black & White mode is
	    black and white only (1 bit).  Grayscale mode will produce 256  lev-
	    els of gray (8 bits).  Color mode will produce a 24 bit color image.

     --resolution
	    selects  the  resolution  for a scan. The scanner can do all resolu-
	    tions between 1 and 300, in increments of 1.

     Geometry options

     -l -t -x -y
	    control the scan area: -l sets the top left x coordinate, -t the top
	    left y coordinate, -x selects the width and -y  the  height  of  the
	    scan area. All parameters are specified in millimeters by default.

     Enhancement options

     --custom-gamma
	    (grayscale	and  color mode only) allows the user to specify a gamma
	    table (see the next 3 parameters).

     --red-gamma-table
	    (color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma table
	    for the red channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.

     --green-gamma-table
	    (color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma table
	    for the green channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.

     --blue-gamma-table
	    (color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma table
	    for the blue channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.

     --halftone
	    (Black & White only) select the halftone mask to use. Possible  val-
	    ues are Diamond, 8x8 Coarse Fatting, 8x8 Fine Fatting, 8x8 Bayer and
	    8x8 Vertical Line.

     --preview
	    requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 28 dpi
	    and  the scan area is the maximum allowed. The scan mode is user se-
	    lected. The default is "no".

CONFIGURATION FILE
     The configuration file /usr/local/etc/sane.d/leo.conf supports only one in-
     formation: the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner).

FILES
     /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-leo.a
	    The static library implementing this backend.

     /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-leo.so
	    The shared library implementing this  backend  (present  on  systems
	    that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT
     SANE_DEBUG_LEO
	    If	the  library was compiled with debug support enabled, this envi-
	    ronment 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.

LIMITATIONS
     The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend. How-
     ever  they are only software adjustments. This backend only implements what
     the scanner can support.

BUGS
     None known.
