sane-umax1220u(5)	  SANE Scanner Access Now Easy	       sane-umax1220u(5)

NAME
     sane-umax1220u - SANE backend for the UMAX Astra 1220U and similar scanners

DESCRIPTION
     The sane-umax1220 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) back-
     end for the the UMAX Astra 1220U and similar scanners.

     For     more     information     on     this    backend,	 please    visit
     http://umax1220u-sane.sourceforge.net/.

UMAX ASTRA 1600U/2000U/2100U SUPPORT
     This backend is also able to drive the UMAX Astra	1600U/2000U/2100U.   The
     2100U is confirmed to work. For the other scanners no reports have been re-
     ceived  yet.  Please contact us and tell us if your scanner works (sane-de-
     vel@alioth-lists.debian.net).

CONFIGURATION
     Usually, no manual configuration is necessary. The configuration  file  for
     this backend resides in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax1220u.conf.

     Its  content  is a list of device names that correspond to UMAX Astra scan-
     ners.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are  ignored.  A
     sample configuration file is shown below:

      #usb vendor product
      usb 0x1606 0x0010
      # Device list for non-linux systems
      /dev/scanner
      /dev/usb/scanner0

     See sane-usb(5) for information on how to set the access permissions on the
     usb device files.

FILES
     The backend configuration file:
	    /usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax1220u.conf

     The static library implementing this backend:
	    /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-umax1220u.a

     The shared library implementing this backend:
	    /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-umax1220u.so  (present	on  systems that
	    support dynamic loading)

ENVIRONMENT
     SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U
	    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:

	    SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U values:

	    Number  Remark
	     1	     print failures
	     2	     print information
	     3	     print high-level function calls
	     4	     print high-level function checkpoints
	     9	     print mid-level function calls
	     10      print mid-level function checkpoints
	     80      print protocol-level function entry
	     90      print protocol-level function exit

     Example:
	    export SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U=10

KNOWN BUGS
     600 dpi scanning may fail for large image sizes.

     If you keep getting I/O errors, try cycling the power on  your  scanner  to
     reset it.

     There is no way to cancel a scan, since the driver ignores sane_cancel().

     If  you  try scanning an image which is too small, you will get I/O errors.
     Be sure to adjust the scan area before doing a scan, since by default,  the
     scan area is zero.

REPORTING BUGS
     This  backend isn't actively maintained. Nevertheless, bug reports and com-
     ments should be sent to the sane-devel mailing list.  When reporting  bugs,
     please  run  the  backend	with SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U set to 10 and attach a
     copy of the log messages.
