6 sane-lexmark - SANE backend for Lexmark X1100/X1200 Series scanners
7
9 The sane-lexmark library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
10 backend that provides access to the scanner part of Lexmark X1100/X1200
11 AIOs. This backend should be considered beta-quality software!
12 The scanners that should work with this backend are:
14 Vendor Model status
16 ---------------------- -----------
17 Lexmark X1110 untested
18 Lexmark X1140 untested
19 Lexmark X1150 good
20 Lexmark X1170 good
21 Lexmark X1180 good
22 Lexmark X1185 complete
23 Lexmark X12xx good in USB1.1,
24 not fully tested in USB2.0
25 Dell A920 good
26 The options the backend supports can either be selected through command
28 line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI elements in
29 xscanimage or xsane.
30 If you have any strange behavior, please report to the backend main‐
32 tainer or to the SANE mailing list.
33 Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
35 scanimage --help -d lexmark:usb:<usb port>
36 Scan Mode Options
39 --mode selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices
42 are Color, Gray and Lineart The default mode is Color. The Lin‐
43 eart mode is black and white only (1 bit). Grayscale will pro‐
44 duce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color mode allows for over 16
45 million different colors produced from 24 bits of color informa‐
46 tion.
47 --resolution
50 selects the resolution for a scan. The horizontal and vertical
51 resolutions are set by the value of this option. The scanner is
52 capable of the following resolutions for the specified option
53 value:
54 Value Hor. Resolution Vert. Resolution
56 ----- --------------- -------------------
57 75 75dpi 75dpi
58 150 150dpi 150dpi
59 300 300dpi 300dpi
60 600 600dpi 600dpi
61 1200 600dpi 1200dpi (only for X11xx models with 'B2' sensor)
62 --preview
65 requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 75
66 dpi and the scan area and the scan mode are as specified through
67 their options, or the default if not specified. The default
68 value for preview mode is "no".
69 --threshold
72 selects the minimum-brightness to get a white point. The
73 threshold is only used with Lineart mode scans. It is specified
74 as a percentage in the range 0..100% (in steps of 1). The
75 default value of the threshold option is 50.
76
80 The configuration file /etc/sane.d/lexmark.conf contains only the usb
81 device id (eg usb 0x043d 0x007c).
82
86 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-lexmark.a
87 The static library implementing this backend.
88 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-lexmark.so
90 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
91 that support dynamic loading).
92
96 SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK
97 SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK_LOW If the library was compiled with debug
98 support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug
99 level for this backend. E.g., a value of 255 requests all debug
100 output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
101
105 The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend.
106 However they are only software adjustments. This backend only imple‐
107 ments what the scanner can support. For instance, shading correction
108 (vertical stripes due to sensor variation across its width) is done in
109 software. Head park position is also detected by software. The data
110 compression isn't supported for the X1200 serie on USB 1.1, leading to
111 slow scans.

115 No bugs currently known.

133 Many thanks go to:
134 Julien Furgerot who lend me a Dell A920. Robert Price, Dani Ele
135 and Dalai Felinto for the time they spent recording USB activity
136 and testing the experimental version.
