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

NAME
     sane-plustek - SANE backend for LM983[1/2/3] based USB flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION
     The  sane-plustek library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) back-
     end that provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on National Semicon-
     ductor Merlin chipsets (LM9831, 9832 and 9833).  If you're looking for par-
     allel-port support for Plustek  scanner  please  refer  to  the  sane-plus-
     tek_pp(5) backend.

SUPPORTED DEVICES
     The  Backend  is able to support USB scanner based on the National Semicon-
     ductor chipsets LM9831, LM9832 and LM9833. The following tables show  vari-
     ous  devices  which are currently reported to work. If your Plustek scanner
     has another Product ID, then the device is NOT supported by this backend.

OTHER PLUSTEK SCANNERS
     For parallelport device support see the sane-plustek_pp(5) backend.
     The SCSI scanner OpticPro 19200S is a rebadged Artec AM12S scanner  and  is
     supported by the sane-artec(5) backend.
     Only  the	National  Semiconductor LM983[1/2/] based devices of Plustek are
     supported by this backend. Older versions of the U12, the UT12,  the  U1212
     and U1248 (GrandTech chipset) are not supported.

CONFIGURATION
     To use your scanner with this backend, you need at least two entries in the
     configuration file /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf

	    [usb] vendor-id product-id
	    device /dev/usbscanner

     [usb] tells the backend, that the following devicename (here  /dev/usbscan-
     ner) has to be interpreted as USB scanner device. If vendor- and product-id
     has not been specified, the backend tries to detect this by its own. If de-
     vice is set to auto then the next matching device is used.
     The  following options can be used for a default setup of your device. Most
     of them are also available through the frontend.

     The Options:

     option warmup t
	    t specifies the warmup period in seconds, if set to  -1,  the  auto-
	    matic warmup function will be used

     option lampOff t
	    t is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps in standby mode

     option lOffonEnd b
	    b  specifies  the  behaviour  when closing the backend, 1 --> switch
	    lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status

     option mov m
	    m is the model override switch. It works only  with  Mustek  BearPaw
	    devices.
	    m/PID |    0x1000	 |    0x1001
	    ------+--------------+--------------
	      0   | BearPaw 1200 | BearPaw 2400
	      1   |  no function | BearPaw 1200

     option invertNegatives b
	    b 0 --> do not invert the picture during negative scans,
	    1 --> invert picture

     option cacheCalData b
	    b 0 --> do not save calibration results,
	    1 --> save results of calibration in ~/.sane/ directory

     option altCalibration b
	    b 0 --> use standard calibration routines,
	    1  --> use alternate calibration (only non Plustek devices, standard
	    for CIS devices)

     option skipFine b
	    b 0 --> perform fine calibration,
	    1 --> skip fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)

     option skipFineWhite b
	    b 0 --> perform white fine calibration,
	    1 --> skip white fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)

     option skipDarkStrip b
	    b 0 --> perform dark calibration, with enabled lamp using  the  dark
	    calibration  strip of the scanner. If the scanner does not have such
	    a strip, the alternative way is to switch off the lamp  during  this
	    step.
	    1  --> always switch off the lamp for dark calibration, even a black
	    strip is available

     option skipCalibration b
	    b 0 --> perform calibration,
	    1 --> skip calibration (only non Plustek devices)

     option enableTPA b
	    b 0 --> default behaviour, specified by the internal tables,
	    1 --> override internal tables and allow TPA mode (EPSON/UMAX only)

     option posOffX x
     option posOffY y
     option tpaOffX x
     option tpaOffY y
     option negOffX x
     option negOffY y
	    x y By using this settings, the user can adjust the given image  po-
	    sitions.   Please  note, that there's no internal range checking for
	    this feature.

     option posShadingY p
     option tpaShadingY p
     option negShadingY p
	    p overrides the internal shading position. The values are in  steps.
	    Please  note,  that there's no internal range checking for this fea-
	    ture.

     option redGamma r
     option greenGamma g
     option blueGamma b
     option grayGamma gr
	    r g b gr
     By using these values, the internal linear gamma table (r,g,b,gr = 1.0) can
     be adjusted.

     option red_gain r
     option red_offset ro
     option green_gain g
     option green_offset go
     option blue_gain b
     option blue_offset bo
	    r g b ro go bo These values can be used to set the gain  and  offset
	    values  of	the AFE for each channel. The range is between 0 and 63.
	    -1 means autocalibration.

     See the plustek.conf file for examples.

     Note:
     You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded correctly	and  you
     have  access  to the device-node. For more details see sane-usb(5) manpage.
     You might use sane-find-scanner(1) to check that you have	access	to  your
     device.

     Note:
     If there's no configuration file, the backend defaults to device auto

FILES
     /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
	    The backend configuration file

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

     /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-plustek.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_PLUSTEK
	    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.

	    Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10

CONTACT AND BUG-REPORTS
     Please send any information and bug-reports to:
     SANE Mailing List

     Additional info and hints can be obtained from our mailing-List archive at:
     http://www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html.

     To obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the environment-vari-
     able  SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK  before  calling your favorite SANE frontend (e.g.
     scanimage(1)):

     export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; scanimage

     The value controls the verbosity of the output.  Please  note  that  values
     greater  than  24 force the backend to output raw data files which could be
     rather large. The suffix of these files is ".raw".  For problem reports  it
     should be enough the set the verbosity to 13.

KNOWN BUGS & RESTRICTIONS
     * The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16 times the phys-
     ical resolution. The only scaling is done on resolutions between the physi-
     cal resolution of the CCD-/CIS-sensor and the stepper motor i.e. you have a
     600x1200  dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi, so scaling is nec-
     essary, because the sensor only delivers 600dpi but the motor is capable to
     perform 1200dpi steps.

     * Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent.  They  sell  technically
     different	devices  under	the  same product name. Therefore it is possible
     that some devices like the UT12 or U12 won't work - please check the  model
     list above and compare the product-id to the one your device has.

     * Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
