sane-hp4200(5)		 SANE Scanner Access Now Easy		sane-hp4200(5)

NAME
       sane-hp4200 - SANE backend for Hewlett-Packard 4200 scanners

DESCRIPTION
       The  sane-hp4200	 library  implements  a	SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend that provides  access  to  the  following  Hewlett-Packard  USB
       flatbed scanners:

	      ScanJet 4200 C
	      ScanJet 4200 Cxi
	      ScanJet 4200 Cse

       More   details	can   be   found   on	the  hp4200  backend  homepage
       http://hp4200-backend.sourceforge.net/.

       This is BETA software. Keep your	hand at	the scanner's plug and	unplug
       it, if the head bumps at	the end	of the scan area.

       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 hp4200.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 4200
       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  hp4200.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, e.g.	 /dev/usb/scanner0.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp4200.conf
	      The  backend  configuration  file	 (see  also   description   of
	      SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

       /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-hp4200.a
	      The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-hp4200.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_HP4200
	      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_HP4200=4

BUGS
       Tested only with	Linux.

       Only 8 bit color	mode works.

       Scanning	is slow	due to backtracking.
