sane-sp15c(5)		  SANE Scanner Access Now Easy		   sane-sp15c(5)

NAME
     sane-sp15c - SANE backend for Fujitsu ScanPartner 15C flatbed scanner

DESCRIPTION
     The  sane-sp15c library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend
     which provides access to the Fujitsu flatbed  scanners.   At  present,  the
     following scanner is known to work with these backend:

	    Vendor:  Model:	      Rev:
	    -------- ---------------- -----
	    FCPA     ScanPartner 15C  1.01

     The  ScanPartner  15C  driver  supports  lineart (1-bit), halftone (1-bit),
     grayscale (4-bit and 8-bit), and color (3 x 8-bit) scanning.

     Other scanners in these families may work.  The ScanPartner 15C seems to be
     a repackaging of the ScanPartner 600C.  People are encouraged to try  these
     driver with the other scanners and to contact the author with test results.

CONFIGURATION
     A	modest	effort	has been made to expose the standard options to the API.
     This allows frontends such as xscanimage(1) to set scanning region, resolu-
     tion, bit-depth (and color), and enable the automatic document feeder.

     of the coolscan driver

LIMITATIONS
     Testing limited to a Linux 2.2.5 kernel
     Can't quite get the scan page/minute performance in ADF modes.  This may be
     due to limited system buffer size.

BUGS
     I'm sure there are plenty, and not too well hidden, but I haven't seen them
     yet.
     Both scanners claim to have separate control of resolution in X and  Y  di-
     rections.	I confess I haven't tested this yet.  I have found that xsane(1)
     doesn't even display this capability.
     Threshold settings on the SP15C don't seem to affect the results of lineart
     mode scans.
     It might be possible to merge these two drivers without much  effort  since
     the SP15C driver was derived from the M3096G driver.  They were split so as
     to  keep the second driver development from breaking the working first dri-
     ver.  Watch this space for changes.
