6 sane-p5 - SANE backend for the Primax PagePartner
7
9 The sane-p5 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend
10 that provides access to the Primax PagePartner parallel port sheet fed
11 scanner.
12 This backend handles 100, 150, 200, 300 and 600 dpi scan resolutions,
14 in color and gray modes. The 600 dpi is actually 300x600 with lines
15 enlarged to match the vertical resolution.
16 EPP/ECP MODES ONLY The current version of the backend uses only EPP or
18 ECP mode to communicate with the scanner. It is recommended that you
19 set your parallel port to EPP in BIOS with the current version of this
20 backend. ECPEPP will only work if you use a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel with
21 ppdev character device support.
22
24 This backend expects device names of the form:
25 port value
27 Where value is :
29 auto autodetect all parallel ports and probe them for scanner
32 /dev/parport0
34 uses linux ppdev device, depending on the number of
35 available parallel port, you have to use /dev/parport1,
36 /dev/parport2, ...
37 You can rename any device using the
39 option name my_name
41 option. This option apply to the last port option.
43
46 Please make sure to edit dll.conf before you use the backend, since
47 this backend isn't enabled by default.
48
50 /etc/sane.d/p5.conf
51 The backend configuration file (see also description of
52 SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
53 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-p5.a
55 The static library implementing this backend.
56 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-p5.so
58 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
59 that support dynamic loading).
60
63 SANE_CONFIG_DIR
64 This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
65 may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories
66 are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
67 by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config‐
68 uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
69 current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the
70 value of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa‐
71 rator character, then the default directories are searched after
72 the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting
73 SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories
74 "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this
75 order).
76 SANE_DEBUG_P5
78 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
79 environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
80 E.g., a value of 255 requests all debug output to be printed.
81 Smaller levels reduce verbosity.

105 Support for the Prima PagePartner has been made possible thank to an
106 hardware donation by Sébastien Lange.

110 If something doesn't work mail sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org or
111 use the bug tracker at
112 https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410366&group_id=30186 . Please
113 give as much information as you can.
114 SANE version
117 run "scanimage -V" to determine this
118 the backend version and your scanner hardware
120 run "SANE_DEBUG_P5=255 scanimage -L 2>log" as root. If you don't
121 get any output from the p5 backend, make sure a line "p5" is
122 included into your /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. If your scanner isn't
123 detected, make sure you've defined the right port address, or
124 the correct device in your p5.conf.
125 the name of your scanner/vendor
127 also a worthy information. Please also include the optical reso‐
128 lution and lamp type of your scanner, both can be found in the
129 manual of your scanner.
130 any further comments
132 if you have comments about the documentation (what could be done
133 better), or you think I should know something, please include
134 it.
