NAME

6       sane-lexmark - SANE backend for Lexmark X1100/X1200 Series scanners
7

DESCRIPTION

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
13       The scanners that should work with this backend are:
14
15                 Vendor Model           status
16              ----------------------  -----------
17                Lexmark X74             good
18                Lexmark X1110           untested
19                Lexmark X1140           untested
20                Lexmark X1150           good
21                Lexmark X1170           good
22                Lexmark X1180           good
23                Lexmark X1185           complete
24                Lexmark X12xx           good in USB1.1,
25                               not fully tested in USB2.0
26                Dell    A920            good
27
28       The options the backend supports can either be selected through command
29       line options to programs like scanimage  or  through  GUI  elements  in
30       xscanimage or xsane.
31
32       If  you  have  any strange behavior, please report to the backend main‐
33       tainer or to the SANE mailing list.
34
35       Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
36              scanimage --help -d lexmark:usb:<usb port>
37
38
39       Scan Mode Options
40
41
42       --mode selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices
43              are  Color, Gray and Lineart The default mode is Color. The Lin‐
44              eart mode is black and white only (1 bit).  Grayscale will  pro‐
45              duce  256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color mode allows for over 16
46              million different colors produced from 24 bits of color informa‐
47              tion.
48
49
50       --resolution
51              selects  the  resolution for a scan. The horizontal and vertical
52              resolutions are set by the value of this option. The scanner  is
53              capable  of  the  following resolutions for the specified option
54              value:
55
56                Value   Hor. Resolution  Vert. Resolution
57                -----   ---------------  -------------------
58                75      75dpi            75dpi
59                150     150dpi           150dpi
60                300     300dpi           300dpi
61                600     600dpi           600dpi
62                1200    600dpi           1200dpi  (only for X11xx models with 'B2' sensor)
63
64
65       --preview
66              requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 75
67              dpi and the scan area and the scan mode are as specified through
68              their options, or the default  if  not  specified.  The  default
69              value for preview mode is "no".
70
71
72       --threshold
73              selects  the   minimum-brightness  to  get  a  white  point. The
74              threshold is only used with Lineart mode scans.  It is specified
75              as  a  percentage  in  the  range  0..100% (in steps of 1).  The
76              default value of the threshold option is 50.

CONFIGURATION FILE

81       The configuration file /etc/sane.d/lexmark.conf contains only  the  usb
82       device id (eg usb 0x043d 0x007c).
83
84
85

FILES

87       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-lexmark.a
88              The static library implementing this backend.
89
90       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-lexmark.so
91              The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
92              that support dynamic loading).
93
94
95

ENVIRONMENT

97       SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK
98              SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK_LOW If the library was  compiled  with  debug
99              support  enabled,  this  environment variable controls the debug
100              level for this backend. E.g., a value of 255 requests all  debug
101              output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity.

104

LIMITATIONS

106       The  windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend.
107       However they are only software adjustments. This  backend  only  imple‐
108       ments  what  the  scanner can support. For instance, shading correction
109       (vertical stripes due to sensor variation across its width) is done  in
110       software.  Head  park  position is also detected by software.  The data
111       compression isn't supported for the X1200 series on USB 1.1, leading to
112       slow scans.
