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.
