NAME
       sane-hp3900 - SANE backend for RTS8822 chipset based scanners

DESCRIPTION
       The  sane-hp3900	 library  implements  a	SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend that provides access at least  to  the  following  USB  flatbed
       scanners:

	      Model:			 Chipset:
	      ------			 --------
	      HP ScanJet 3800		 RTS8822BL-03A
	      HP ScanJet 3970		 RTS8822L-01H
	      HP ScanJet 4070 Photosmart RTS8822L-01H
	      HP ScanJet 4370		 RTS8822L-02A
	      HP ScanJet G2710		 RTS8822BL-03A
	      HP ScanJet G3010		 RTS8822L-02A
	      HP ScanJet G3110		 RTS8822L-02A
	      UMAX Astra 4900/4950	 RTS8822L-01H *
	      BenQ 5550			 RTS8823L-01E *

       More  details  can  be  found  on  the  sane-hp3900(5) backend homepage
       http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3900-series/.

       This is ALPHA software. Keep your hand at the scanner's plug and	unplug
       it, if scanner does not start to	scan. See also the BUGS	section.

       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
       /proc/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.

CONFIGURATION
       The contents of the hp3900.conf file is a list of usb lines  containing
       vendor  and  product  ids that correspond to USB	scanners. The file can
       also contain the	names of device	files that correspond to  an  HP  39XX
       scanner.	  Empty	 lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ig-
       nored.  The scanners  are  autodetected	by  usb	 vendor_id  product_id
       statements  which  are  already included	into hp3900.conf.  "vendor_id"
       and "product_id"	are hexadecimal	numbers	that identify the scanner.  If
       autodetection does not work, add	the device name	of your	scanner	to the
       configuration file,

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp3900.conf
	      The   backend   configuration  file  (see	 also  description  of
	      SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

       /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-hp3900.a
	      The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-hp3900.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	direc-
	      tories are separated by a	colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are sep-
	      arated 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/lo-
	      cal/etc/sane.d.	If  the	value of the environment variable ends
	      with the directory separator character, then the default	direc-
	      tories  are searched after the explicitly	specified directories.
	      For example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would re-
	      sult in directories tmp/config, ., and /usr/local/etc/sane.d be-
	      ing searched (in this order).

       SANE_DEBUG_HP3900
	      If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en-
	      vironment	variable controls the debug level  for	this  backend.
	      Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the	output.

	      Example: export SANE_DEBUG_HP3900=4

BUGS
       Scanning	is only	tested with Linux/ix86/gcc. Be careful when testing on
       other  operating	 systems  and  especially on big-endian	platforms. The
       scanner may get wrong data.
